Publisher's summary

Grounded, Book 3 in the Up In The Air Trilogy. James and Bianca's story draws to a close in the explosive conclusion to the Up In The Air Trilogy. After a short but earnest courtship, Bianca can no longer deny her feelings for James, and though she's tried her hardest, she can't help but see that he cares deeply for her, as well. In a completely uncharacteristic move, she has put aside her misgivings and agreed to live with the enigmatic billionaire.

Is her leap of faith the beginning of something wonderful, or is it too much, too fast? As James and Bianca feel a growing need for each other that neither can deny, circumstances beyond their control intervene, trying to tear them apart. Amid the ever mounting threat of a monster who wants Bianca dead, and the constant pitfalls of an indiscreet past that James can't seem to escape, can these two passionate lovers manage to find their happily ever after?

4 stars

One of my favorite books with a dominant controlling hero. I decided to listen instead if reread. My only complaint is that you can hear the narrator swallowing and it was very distracting. This is the third book in the series.

Superb!! Ten Stars!

Loved every second of this series! The longing and wanting, the sordid past, the sad past, but most of all the instant attraction and love felt by and for Mr Beautiful!! Bianca is fierce despite her unfortunate past, she is a strong and loyal friend and partner which is why it’s easy to fall in love with her! Mr Cavendish is insatiable yet so loving and caring of her. These two were definitely made just for each other! ❤️

Amazing ending to a wonderful series!

If you could sum up Grounded in three words, what would they be?

James "Beautiful" Cavendish

What was one of the most memorable moments of Grounded?

If I told you that, I'd be giving things away. You must read this book and series, I absolutely LOVED it!!

Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Powers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to her during this whole series, she is the best narrator I've listened to on Audible! Hands down!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Come fly the friendly skies!

Any additional comments?

Kicking myself for waiting so long to listen to this series, MUST READ/LISTEN!

WoW I'm Grounded - this was an AWESOME End

Any additional comments?

Wow - all i can say is I LOVED this 3rd and final book in this Amazingly Heart Pulling Story. It has absolutely everything once could desire - depth, angst, love, growth, acceptance, intrigue, horror, damage, blood, chaos, pain, suffering and almost death. Plus.... Devilishly yummy BDSM & even M/M. This was the perfect conclusion to this fabulous trilogy and i am sad the story is over. Elizabeth Powers done an immaculate job bringing all the wonderful characters to life threw-out and i give high praise to her magical voice changing skills.... :)

Wow, wow, wow!

Well written, sexy, with characters I didn't find whiny. It's another great addition to a series I have loved from start to finish. Read for yourself, you won't be sorry.

A love that never ends no matter what

This book was Amazing! Worth every penny. You have to read book 1 & 2 first to get the full gist of it, but wow, what a book! I loved it. R. K Lilley is a great storyteller with a very good vision for where to take the story. I loved this series and the Trista and Danika series which is another arm of the book. It took me through many moments that seemed real, like I was living in the moment with them. I loved the way he was so passionate about her and protective, yet, he was willing to accept and intertwine Stefan in his life so quickly because he meant the world to the woman he loves. I went through all the motions, tears, laughter, annoyance, fear and excitement. It took me 3 days to read all the book in the series. I couldn't put it down. I even stayed up all night, twice, just to know what was coming. I felt like if I closed my eyes for a second, I will loose my fictional family from my fore front. The relationship between Bianca and Mr. Cavendish (aka Mr. Beautiful) was lovely. What a love to have. Who doesn't want to be loved like that. The only part of this book I didn't like, was when he forcefully took the "bet" she owed him, (you have to read it to know what) when she was in a compromised position without asking her if she was ready or not. I get that he was angry and somewhat "punishing" her, it still didn't give him the right to do that without her permission, Mr. Caveman, although she didn't seem to mind. She was enabling his anger like she did frequently just so he doesn't blow up, per se. Overall, I Loved this series. The Narrator did a great job in bringing the story to life. Although, this book was detailed enough, where you didn't miss anything that happened in their lives, I was Sad to get to the end of it. I would love to continue their story and hear more of how their lives fared. Great Job R. K Lilley.

I Read All Five Books in this Series

These are a pretty flawless books and was an awesome to listen to. The narrator made this series of book easy to listen to . The story line was interesting and made me curious of what would happen next. It fundamentally warmed my point of view about love in a huge way.
The author has written a series that I strongly recommend and I’ll look forward to other works of the author.
