Oh man, where do I begin??? This series had everything I needed: hot man, great sex, emotionally unavailable billionaire and drama!!! It was so well written that I found myself crying when Ari finally told Sarah that he loved her!

My only wish is that the books were longer!!,

The series is too short and I WANT MORE!
But this last installment rock the series.
I never expected the happening though there are parts but its still good.
One of the series I can't let go.

Can't stop sobbing. Love this book!

[Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ TrixieTracy Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ · Rating 1 out of 5]

We're all looking for that next Fifty Shades or Crossfire series, you know the untouchable handsome billionaire meets the girl that's 'different' than all the others, the one that finally changes it all... yes that age old chesnut!! And reading the synopsis to this series i thought, 'ey up, this could be the one'...

Forget it, because this really isn't it!!!

I keep picking books up lately where the synopsis offers so much, but then the book completely falls flat! Unfortunately this was one of those and it came pretty early on.

It wasn't the writing itself but the content. The series seemed rushed, maybe the author had a deadline and needed to churn these out or was it that the author was in a hurry to get to the "good parts" that turned out to be not so good after all? It seriously lacked dialogue, the characters were pathetically weak - not so much in personality (although that as well) but in substance. I'm not sure how many books this author has wrote, but this was a pretty poor effort!!

And I don't for the life of me understand why these were published as three short stories, why not just one story? Ch..ching perhaps? I feel robbed!!!

*1 star for the potential the synopsis offered - could have been so much more...

I have to say one thing after reading this its going into my list of best reads!!!!

I have to admit that when I starting reading this series, the first book didn't do much for me and Ia was very dissappointed with it, but as I was reading the second series I started to really love en enjoy this book and understand the meaning of each title of the books the first one "Strangers on the Train" tells the beginning of these two strangers that just met up in a train but already were attracted to each other. Then "Derailed" tells how fragile and new their relationship was and that there were to many obstacles for them to happy and one them was Ari's past that haunted them. Now with "Final Destination" it tell how hard they fight the circumstances, jealousy, heartaches of their relationship to go against all odds for them finally to be together.

I can't believe how much I enjoy reading Ari and Sarahs story and how much I fell in love with them throughout the series, this last book had everything; jealousy, intrigues, mistery, adventure, action, drama, hot steamy sex and the most important of all LOVE!!!!!

I have enjoyed reading all 3 books not normally a fan of smaller books but I have to say that these were definitely so worth it. packed with twists and turns love, passion and hot hot scenes. I will be reading again. Didn't leave me guessing what might of been or my one biggy answering a question I asked myself in book 1 answered in book 3 live it when.the author gives you everything. All I can say is point me in the direction of Nelle L'Amours next book.

[Mags Per · Rating 5 out of 5]

The drama continues in part 3. Definitely one of my fav short stories. More twists and turns but so happy for how it ended. I got all teary eyed and shed a few tears. Not too many books can do that to me but this one did. Although short, it had what I like in books: Steamy scenes, drama and mostly love. I'm a sucker for happy endings.

[Emeline Pico · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh yeah this book you must read "Strangers on a Train" Book 1 & "Derailed" Book 2 for the storyline. In "Final Destination" Sarah Greene now knows who Cassandra O'Toole/Catherine St. Clair is. Can the Princess warrior dig deep to still keep her job at Ike's Tikes & Ari too?

Very few editing errors, good story, & wrap up. Well worth the read.

[Peggy · Rating 5 out of 5]

The only thing that bothered me in this series was that the stories were to short. But even then you get everything a hot Billionaire, innocent young girl, crazy ex, hot scenes and drama.
Find out what happens when Sarah finds out his crazy ex is actually her boss.
Is this the final destination for Sarah or will Ari's love save her?

[Debbie Lawrence · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sarah.

This trilogy was a fun, quick read. There was quite a bit of drama mixed in with the fun, sexy times too. Although they had a strange start to their relationship, they never gave up on each other.

[Shelly LeCompt · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a series review for all three books, as seen on www.smexybooks.com

So where to start…I purchased this set because it was recommended to me by Amazon, based on my past books, and the blurb sounded interesting. Plus at $4.99 for all 3 books, I thought why not? I can tell you why not. I found this series to be a frustrating and irritating hot mess of a read. Seriously, I could have saved my 5 bucks. I so wanted to “not finish” this series but I am just not that kind of reader. I can NOT walk away from a book. Maybe I am too much of a masochistic or maybe I am just too optimistic and hopeful; but either way, I just can’t put a series away without the follow through. So sometimes, more than I like actually, I end up wasting not only my money on a book (or series) but I also waste a lot of my time that I could spend elsewhere; and this was one of those times.

The blurb for this series was promising; a collection of books about a lowly, young New York girl that has received a bad hand in life. She is just trying to find a way to cut out some possible happiness in a world of loneliness and loss. Then enters your “drop dead, handsome stranger who seduces her on a train” and also turns out to be a highly sought after billionaire alpha male. I know, sounds intriguing; but let’s stop and review the above statement (something I clearly did not do before making my purchase). What on earth, is a hot BILLIONAIRE doing on a train first off (instead of being driven by his personal driver), and why would he need to seduce and take advantage of some strange (because let me just tell you nothing about this character flows from the way she dresses to her personality) young girl in a train’s bathroom? Then IF he was going to sex her up, the next turn of events would make no sense. They basically spend 3 books worth of reading going back and forth between that instant-love kind of attraction or completely ignoring and running from the attraction; which is not as good as I make it sound in that statement. Actually I think I make it sound better than it is written.

Basically, in the end, the author did not deliver. We meet a couple that has some kind of instant love kind of relationship, without even know each other, and without any kind of build up at all. The reader doesn’t even really get to know the characters much nor do we have an opportunity to build any kind of attachment to this couple as individuals, let alone their relationship. We are basically expected to just buy the hopeless love at first sight (or love at first climax) theory. Which, I don’t EVER like in a book. I want a story that builds and makes me fall in love with both the characters and their bond. Then we are to believe this 25yr old virgin would just give up her first time to some stranger on a train, without any thought of a condom or consequences, just because he is gorgeous. Okay, gorgeous or not, I instantly have no respect left for the heroine once she is played out like that. Then we spend the entire series in her head while she goes back and forth between meeting up with this man and wanting to have him; but then running away because other people in his life either also want him or hate her because she is beneath him. Seriously? Frustrating.

So any pro’s to this book you ask? Well, the hero isn’t too bad, but basically that is because he is so underdeveloped you don’t have anything available so you can find fault with him. However, it is infuriating that he keeps treating her like a dirty little secret. He refuses to spend the night with her; but as you find out his son is dealing with some serious childhood trauma experience, due to the hero’s ex, so this is ALMOST acceptable. ALMOST. The fact that the heroine continues to let him treat her as a dirty secret, however; is not acceptable. She has serious self-esteem issues. There is a twist that develops as the series moves on and that might be the only saving grace that helped me get through all 3 books. I kept thinking, this is going to get better as the books continue….it has too. Not for me. I finally made it to the end and thought; wow, why did I keep going? Anyway, there were a few people out there in goodreads land that liked this series. The sex scenes weren’t horrible. There is a small unexpected twist. And finally the plot had potential.

So, in the end, this series just lacked too much for my liking. I personally would give it a D- or F. However, weighing in the fact that my opinion is subjective, some people did like the series, and there were a couple of pro’s as mentioned; I think the best I could honestly give would be a D or D+ for the review. I am so sad to have felt so poorly about this series because I honestly wanted to like it so much, but in the end the series was just a bust for me.

Rating: D – D+ (which translates to a 2 star or less read)

Also, I was too unmotivated for a single quote or song relating to this series…

Final Destination is the third and final instalment in the Seduced by the Park Avenue Billionaire series by Nelle L'Amour...


Full Review Still to Come...

"Inhale the flowers and dream" - Sarah

I actually read this while In the middle of reading 2 other books for a quick, sexy diversion.

Sarah and Ari's story continues in Part 3 of the series Seduced by the Park Avenue Billionaire: Final Destination, after a cliffhanger in Part 2. There's a lot of action, a lot of really hot and steamy sex and a lot of pure fantasy, but hey, who doesn't want the plain girl to get the hot guy? This is for those of you who love a HEA. And any book that mentions chuppah and orgasm in the same story gets my vote!

Delicious escapist reading with a sexy teaser for an upcoming book, Undying Love. (And a quick look at those characters' names should give you a clue as to the storyline!)

***I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

So the last part of the book ended well. This part continued with some more shocks and suspense. This kept me intrigued and I had to know how things were going to end.

Sarah finally began to let Ari in and let him know some of her situation. After a conversation with her sick mother, she decides she needs to fight for the man she loves. Ari proved that he cared more for her than he had let on. He confesses to watching her for months before they met. That could be considered creepy but I thought that made some of his earlier actions more believable. He was actually much more infatuated with her, which I thought was cute.

Overall, the book was good. There were some situations I found strange but I was able to look over them. I did feel the book was a bit rushed at times. I wish I could have seen and felt a much deeper connection with Ari and Sarah. They did have some great sexual chemistry and eventually love. So the book ended with a great HEA I thought was really cute.

***3 stars

[Sindydt · Rating 3 out of 5]

For me the book (All Three Parts) was Ok.

I enjoyed the story but thought that that the names of the lead characters were a bit cheesy, and Fernando was a bit annoying.

The first sex scene is a bit over the top, another 25 year old virgin start, and a bit forced and Sarah seems to be a bit of a drama queen.

To me Sarah is another "innocent", "beautiful", "perfect-daughter" "pushover". Ari seems to be a "brute" trying hard to be Christian Grey, with a bit of a twist.

The books got better as my reading progressed but found the 3rd part the most intriguing. I would have loved to read about Ari's reaction at the end though......

Personally I wont re-read it and not necessarily recommend this book. But it has a good story line. I'll read more books from this author and would like to thank her for the opportunity to review the book.

[Annette Oliva · Rating 4 out of 5]

Final Destination by Nelle L’Amour is the final installment in the “Seduced by the Park Avenue Billionaire” series. At the end of part 2, we discover that Sarah’s bitchy boss is also Ari’s bitchy ex-wife. Cassandra/Catherine is more than just bitchy, she’s downright psychotic. Cassandra/Catherine thinks she can actually get Ari back, but she knows she has to get rid of the competition first, so she makes Sarah break up with Ari. And that’s only the beginning.

The sex between Ari and Sarah was still very steamy. And wondering what the psycho ex-wife/boss is going to do next just adds more to the story. There were a couple of parts that were similar to Fifty Shades, but I still could not put this book down and I definitely will be looking for more books by Nelle L’Amour.

Overall the series is 3.75 Stars and I am rounding up for GRs.

First this story had LOTS of potential. I pushed away some of the less than stellar reviews to give it a shot and I liked it. However, the characters needed to be developed more, so we as the reader care and root for them. I wish it wasn't over such a quick period of time that the story minus the last two chapters it all happens in 2 weeks??? Everything about this story is fast and it really, REALLY should have been one solid book. It is such a pet peeve of mine that they split it up when when are really one book.

This book had potential to be rated much higher if the characters were developed stronger, and some of the cheesiness was deleted - Power Ranger comment at the end - come on! Overall, 3.75 Stars!

[Gloria Herrera for As You Wish Reviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a train ride you will never forget. Sarah definitely never did and it changed the course of her life.

Meeting Ari and discovering the attraction they both share is just the starting point of this seductively delicious story. This is not your everyday boy meets girl story. Your emotions will run the range of all emotions as you discover all the undercurrents affecting this couple.

Commitment to each other is impossible, family and others running interference to separate them, life in general with impossible challenges... all conspire to prevent Sarah and Ari from coming together. This story will keep you at the edge of your seats until all is resolved... no guarantees of a happily ever after are ever given in life... will this work for our two lovers?

[Teri · Rating 3 out of 5]

Finally when the story gets good the author speeds through it and the book is over!!! At least Ari isn't as creepy anymore. He's leveled out. But what a huge disappointment, this could have been a wonderful series if it wasn't so rushed and if we had more character development. So much was left out of this book, like learning more about Ari and his lust for her before they met, them talking about his mood swings, And i wanted more time falling in love with them actually spending time together and talking!!!

[Anya · Rating 3 out of 5]

Actual rating 2.5 stars

Overall, the entire series was an OK read for me but most importantly I didn't hate it and I manage to finish it so hooray!

I wished that Ari's character was more developed, during reading I felt that he was just a supporting character and not the leading man in the series. The same goes with the other characters in the series.

The protagonist felt amateurish and contrived that's why it was hard for me to take the series seriously. Her internal monologues leaves much to be desired...

I can't get over that choo, choo part in book one. I.JUST.CANT.

[Clair McKane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Part 3 doesn't disappoint. Leading straight on from book 2 you have Sarah again being down trodden and she has to make a decision which leaves her miserable. Then in an unexpected turn of events she decides to fight.
The plot then turns to something totally unexpected which is gripping and well written. I'm pleased Sarah and Ari (and Ben) got their HEA. (Although she never did bring up the photo on the desk from 6 months previous...!!) all in all was a nice conclusion for all involved.

[Sonia · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the best instalment out of the three as there is more to it and you start to get more insight into the characters. I see these books as having potential. The characters could be developed more with more about their background stories and even their interaction with each other. Although presented as three books at the moment I see it as one unless it is developed further. Thank you to the author for allowing me to read them in exchange for an honest review

[Maína · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is the innocent-and-ordinary-but-beautiful-girl that meets the handsome-verry-rich-incapable-of-love-man and fall in love with him kind of book (wich is no problem, I like it!).

The problem is I just can't get what makes Sarah so special.
She has some good qualities, but is just not enough for you to falling in love with her.

[Kel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received a copy of this book from the Author in exchange for an honest review.

The final installment to this trilogy.

Well, it was much better then the first two books. I still thought it was just ok, however this one was a bit more exciting as there was much more drama.

The total cliche ending - boy meets girl, girl and boy have dramas, boy and girl get married and live happily ever after.

Final destination,is last last part in the series Seduced by the Park Avenue Billionaire. I did enjoy Final Destination, it was a very quick read. We finely got to the action of the book. With are crazy Cathrine(aka Cassandra).

I was glad so see Gwen accepting Sarah, and Ari and Sarah getting their HEA. I also loved the epilogue.

Oh wow!

I'm not ready to let Ari and Sarah go! I loved these novellas! There was so much story for such short books! Absolutely loved this tale I just wish they were longer books!

The conclusion of Ari and Sarah's tale is filled with much drama but a HEA! And that's all that matters. For a short story it packs a punch and it's so well written.
