4.5 stars

One of the best things about this author is that she knows how to entwine the right amount of suspense or action with endearing moments. She always manages to get me invested in both the action but the love story that is intermingled. I enjoy this immensely, and it is why she is one of my most go-to authors for romantic suspense.

There were a lot of secrets at play and not a lot of answers with the way that the last book ended with the reappearance of Gio. However, with everything that Kace and Aria had been through, I was definitely skeptical of Gio, even if he was Aria's family. I won't say if that turned out to be good or bad. However, what I can say is that it made the book a little more exciting and I was all for that.

This conclusion brings all the secrets to the forefront and solves them in a fantastic way. It kept me, not only entertained but also engaged and that is what reading should do. I highly recommend this entire trilogy. It ended with everything I could have wanted and more. My only complaint was HOW fast-paced the story was. At times, I wanted to savor the moments or at least catch my breath. However, that isn't much of a deterrent when it comes to how great this book was. ( )
