A BLISSFUL ENDING-GREAT EPILOGUE!

This is Jodi Ellen Malpas's second series and it was good. Most notably, the second half was the best part of the book. It's when the real developments and action start setting everything into motion. Miller and Livy go through a very tough journey, but they never give up on their love and that was so special. I really enjoyed the great intimacies of Miller's "worshipping" of Livy and pulling her into "his thing." Miller's little hallmark sayings were endearing…."I concur" and "elaborate." It was so cute how Livy borrowed the sayings, periodically, when interacting with Miller. I did have a problem with Livy's "sass." Her so-called "sass," especially in the first part of the book was not fun, flirty banter, but outright disrespect toward Miller. OMG, in the first part of the book Livy was driving me freaken nuts!!! She came across as childish, spoiled and rude to Miller. I think it was Livy's immature thinking and reactions that overwhelmed the first part of the book making it boring and slow. It just seemed like filler material. However, the second part of the book made up for it….and it was all because of Miller!!! Oh, I really felt for Miller. I could not believe the challenges he was facing, and while Livy tackled their issues with the wit and force of a rhinoceros, Miller was steady, patient, and even-paced. Oh there are some really sweet moments expressed by Miller toward his sweet girl (even though she acted like a selfish brat most of the time).

There are a lot of love making scenes. Yet due to high pressure and duress that seemed to be coming at Miller and Livy from all directions, when they made love it was like they were mating in captivity….LOL…I know that's silly, but it's how I felt.

However, after the HUGE showdown, that is, the fight for Miller's freedom commences and all of the revelations are brought forward, there is this wonderful 2 hours of bliss for all of the characters, especially Miller and Livy. As a reader, I really appreciated that time of absolute ecstasy where Miller and Livy got to flourish in their freedom…OMG it was wonderful!!! And, the love making scenes meant so much more since they were completely free!

The epilogue was super sweet! It was in Miller's POV and oh that man….Miller Hart! What a dear! In general, I love great epilogues and one of the best parts of this one is that Livy finally gains a purpose outside of Miller!!! That was huge to me since she always seemed kind of lost, as a person. Oh, such sweet cuteness!!! OMG, loved the epilogue…the whole series was worth it because of the epilogue and HEA that everyone experiences.

Narration: Edita Brychta was superb, as usual! Her performance was brilliant!

Rant: Ok, I have an added rant here….What the hell is up with JEM inserting the "F-word" into Jesus Christ when the lead's cuss. OMG, that is so disrespectful and offensive and I hate it as a reader. I wonder if this is a trend in the UK, even though I've seen American writers do this same thing. I have never heard anyone use this swear word in real life, if so I would also hate it and scowl at the person….Seriously, there are other swear words that can be used that will be impacting…why be so unnecessarily offensive??????

Complete recipe

Loved It

Absolutely loved their story. Really like the way the story evolved. And the epilogue was the icing on the cake!

Entertaining But Predictable

Edita was a fantastic narrator. I will listen to anything that she reads. She is just that good at storytelling :) So the Performance was definitely 5 Stars!!

Now for the story...This audiobook was ok. It was too long for what the story was. It took me a little longer to listen to it because it was slow in some parts. The "cliffhangers" for Olivia were very predictable and the "happy ending" with her parents was not believable after the years of separation and drama. I would have expected a lot less trust from Olivia regarding her parents for a long time but this is just my opinion. Miller's cliffhangers were more surprising and his responses to them more believable. I won't provide any more spoilers but suffice it to say, this book could have been A LOT shorter. Like 8-9 hours shorter. For a conclusion to this trilogy, it was not bad but it was predictable. The best book was One Night Promised.

Wowzers!

Another reason I love Jodi Ellen Malpas! The narration was perfectly fitted to the characters. JEM is a magical genius with words!
