Book Review
To say that I was anxiously
awaiting the release of this book is an understatement. The first two books of
this series left me seriously wanting more. I mean what’s not to love, James is
a beautiful broken billionaire alpha male who knows his way around a horse (MY
GOODNESS….Ya you know what i'm talking about…”THE HORSE BACK SCENE” from book #2….yup I was a goner then).
Let’s just say book #3 didn't let me down. If anything I going to say it was my favorite of the entire
series. In this book we see GROWTH of the characters, and I couldn't have asked
for a better end to a trilogy. Oh don’t get me wrong there was still plenty of
drama/craziness. James/Bianca are two broken people, but in this story they
realize they need each other to heal. Finally TOGETHER, of course the road is
paved with some serious bumps. Sex tapes, crazy ex girlfriends, Bit** slapping/I’m
going dunk your face in a toilet moment (Bianca got a backbone ya’ll, fist
pumps) and crazy murdering fathers. Know matter how bad the drama gets, they
stay together (sigh moment).
“I have a fetish. I wasn’t
even interested in a man until I found you, until I found this. That terrifies
me too, how broken I am. But I also know I’m lucky, so lucky to have found
someone so perfect for me, so safe, to help give me the things I need with out
taking my self respect, and with out putting me in danger. You’re a gift to
someone lime me, James. Don’t ever forget that.”--—Bianca
In this book Bianca is still
struggling to deal with her past, but she is trying not to let is dictate her
life. Through out the book, we see her struggle to completely show her true
feelings for James. James on the other hand has no problem showing how much he
loves Bianca. One part of James character in this book I really loved was his
acceptance of Bianca/Stephan’s relationship. Also the way he called her “LOVE”…I
was complete mush every time I read that.
“I’m trying to join your family,
not tear it apart, LOVE.”-- JAMES
The supporting characters in
this book were just as awesome as in the first two books. My favorite hands
down is Stephan. This man is so in tuned to Bianca’s emotions it’s scary. In
this book Bianca and Stephan’s relationship grows if that’s even possible. The
BOND they share as best friends is BEAUTIFUL (SIGH)…..I
think this quote from the book sums it up best…
“I love you. There is nothing
I wouldn’t do for you, but I can’t hold you back. We don’t have to be neighbors
to be best friends, just like we didn’t have to live together. This move will
be no different than that. We're growing up Bianca, but we will never grow apart.
I know you to well, and I know that's part of what is holding you back, so just
get that fear out of your head. You're stuck with me forever."--Stephan (SIGH)
My favorite part of this book
was the last few chapters, the ending (PERFECT). All my emotions were on
overdrive. I cried, I laughed and I cheered just to name a few things. The
things these characters went through especially in the end were SUPER INTENSE. There
are so many things that made this book great. The SEX SCENES were FREAKING
AWESOME (although the HORSEBACK SCENE from book #2 still #1 in on my list). Also we got to read Stephan's a little POV (yaaaaaaaaa!!!).
I loved this series!!!! I’m
seriously sad to see it end. Great job Mrs. Lilley for a wonderful book and series.
Book Rating: A/5 stars
Cheers,
