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?

GREAT CONCLUSION!

This was a great ending to this series; it was emotional, and heart-wrenching. R.K. Lilley can do no wrong in my eyes! I love her writing style, and the characters she's created. All I want when I think of this series and the books/trilogies connected to this one, is MORE, MORE, MORE! Definitely credit worthy, and highly recommended.

CAPTIVATING SERIES......LISTEN WORTHY!!!

I must applaud R.L. Lilley for wrting such an amazing series that had me on the edge of my seat for days.....I literally did not sleep between reading this series. I was captivated by the story and loved the narrator Elizabeth Powers - she brought the book to life and did a superb joy. She pulled me in with her voice and held me throughour the entire book. I was laughing and crying throughout the book. The ending had me literally in tears! I was hollering and couldn't finish the book fast enough to find out what happened. It has been a long time since a series held me so captivated. The book had so many cliffhangers that grabbed me and had my emotions fluctuating. There was so many things I loved about the book that it is hard to say here. It is a mixture of BDSM, friendships, hatred, living through the past, survival, action and most of all love. The author wrapped so many things in one and the level of research done for this book showed in the different scenarios written about.

This is my first book by R.L. Lilley and I am not disappointed. I borrowed them on Audible escape but didnt hesitate to purchase every single book for my collection. Thank you for this.

ONCE UP THE AIR, NOW GROUNDED BY THE ENDING

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Oh my... to my friends, neighbors, co workers, family, and any who asks about good books. and the all important love of, and anyone that can't seem to get enough of RK Lilley's work, especially is this trilogy. I have to admit, I accidentally fell into this last installment not knowing it was even on the coming soon list. But once I did, I shook with anticipation. it took me weeks to get through this book, not because of lack of such great withing but because of time and duties at home. I had a lot of personal reason's I could not give my all to it. But each night late, I gave a couple of chapters and savored it's contents. Waiting until I could get back to it. Recommend? Is that a trick question?. Anyone that read the first two. has got to finish with this. But let me say James and Bianca are put through some painstaking ordeals But as love would have it, they always seem to bring it home to our HEA.I simply LOVED it. .

What was one of the most memorable moments of Grounded?

Without a doubt, the near ending and ending. such beauty, and so needed for them. Enjoy

What does Elizabeth Powers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Everything, She did so much to this, Thank you Elizabeth

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and plan on it again, Since my life personally was in an uproar, and could not give my all to as I normally did last year while reading, I plan to take some time and read it without interruption while on vacation soon and remember all of this once more.

Any additional comments?

James and B grow and become close through all that she had denied herself growing up homeless and vowing off all James had to offer. She finally comes to know he loves her, and lets that love heal her in all ways. It's sexy, somewhat out of sorts in some area's but strong enough for you to get some of the most grueling encounters they have to over come...together.. James loves and protects her is so many rare and unusual of circumstances You have to stop and say, Just how much can one couple endure? But they prevail. Remarkably. . We get to learn how and why he fell so deeply in love for her, and his words brings tears streaming down my face, from the moment he lays eyes on her. why he choose the life style for her and why it works for them. It's written all over her. Her best friend Stephan is a intricate leader and add substance to this book like he did with all the rest. His love for her also is undying and never sways. B is a remarkable women, loves by a man who only wants to make her happy, And she let's him finally do so without such a fight.. And B finds he fight in her as well when so many want to take James down. But not without a fight with B at his side.
Read the book, it finishes the story and tells a remarkable tale of a couple with great friends who only want the best for them all.. You won't forget it nor want to put it down.. I loved it . Way to go Ms. Kelly. Waiting for more of such great work from you.

Good Story

This story was entertaining. I thought the sex scenes were a bit overused to the point I was pure bored and forwarded through. I think the story overall is cute.
