Absolutely Loved It

I have a love hate relationship with this book… I absolutely loved it and I hate that it is the last in the Eve Sumptor Series. The way Lainey comes into her own in this book is HOT! I will miss Eve and Lainey but I look forward to reading more of Jourdyn's books. This is a must read! I enjoyed it so much that I purchased it on Audible. Tessa Stavers narration is absolutely wonderful as usual.

This book

... Is amazing! my only wish is that all of Jourdyn Kelly's novels become audiobooks. Even though this is the third in the series, it also works as a stand alone novel. The other two in the serie were heavier on the action, but this book did not pull any punches.

Tingles

This book had me on the edge with tension and left me with goose bumps and tangles in the end. Great character development and evolution of their story. The writing enables a total immersion into the story. Im so happy there will be a fourth in this series!

FINALLY!!!!!

In the words of Etta James...At Last. I've been waiting on this installment and enjoyed it. This was an emotional book and as such, expect to run the gambit. Well done, Jourdyn. The narration was wonderful!

Heartfelt and emotional

Jourdyn Kelly has done it again!
Heartfelt, intense feelings, and an emotional story that, not only reads well, but sounds amazing!
Tessa Stavers narrating is perfect for Jourdyn’s books.
Please do more!

Beautiful Conclusion!

"Art is never a guarantee. Make sure that the people in your life are."

"Decisions are a strange thing. What you think is the right decision at the moment could turn out to be the worst decision you've ever made."

"No one should strive to be someone else. Only the best version of themselves. Even in their flaws, there is perfection."

This is the third book in the Eve Sumptor series. It could be read as a standalone, but it is much better to read the previous two books, "Something About Eve" and "Flawed Perfection" to get the depth of the relationship between Eve and Lainey. The therapy sessions with Dr. Woodrow really show us into Eve's inner turmoil.

Jourdyn Kelly does a wonderful job showing a myriad of emotions both individually as well as within the relationships. In the first two books, Eve battled some incredible demons. In this book, she is battling her toughest opponent: herself.

You will laugh, get angry, probably cry, and cheer!

The success of a book is when the author makes you feel. Jourdyn does an excellent job of making the characters believable. I loved the boys' development in this book! Bella was adorable!

Tessa Stavers does a great job capturing the emotions of the characters.

WOW!!!!

Wow! What a journey! I absolutely loved this novel and the following novel. I just wish the first book was available in audio as well. I could not turn it off! Jourdyn Kelly, you are an amazing writer, this series is more than I could have possibly wished for. The depth of characters and the narrator Tessa Stavers made for some of the best audio books I have experienced. I can only imagine the workings of the mind of Jourdyn Kelly to have been able to put pen to paper in this amazing series!

Fitting Conclusion

Ms. Kelly pens a terrific end to Eve’s story. The continued growth of Eve is central of course, but the realizations and developments with other characters are well written. I love the segments with the doc which really gives the reader/listener a deeper insight into the minds of Eve, Lainey, Adam, and a bit of Willamena herself. Ms. Stavers does a very good job voicing the different characters and capturing the sentiments expressed from Ms. Kelly’s characters.

Very well written

I fell in love with everything about this book. The writing style, the characters, the storyline, and the narration were all excellent. There are two other books in the series not on audio, they are must reads.

Spoiler alert

I was so angry at the end of book one. The end was completely wrong for the obvious feeling and connections that were ignored.

I had already purchased books two and three and I read the reviews on them skeptically. I almost did as one reviewer suggested and skipped book two altogether. I decided to go into with my finger on the skip 30 seconds ahead button. I think it took me less than an hour to get to the end of it. I’m glad I didn’t totally skip it but I definitely had no desire to listen to the relentless and unnecessary fuckfest.

I only kept going because of the reviews on book three. Grappling with the trauma of her life was truly the only really insightfully written part of these books.

Honestly it should have been a single book with less unnecessary sex. I like sex and don’t mind listening to heterosexual sex if it’s beneficial to the story. For me love is love and the spicy scenes are important even when it’s not something I want to experience myself.

I gave a decent almost 5 star review on this book… but needed to also share my feeling about the others. I did not leave a bad review on the others I just chose not to review them at all.
