Incontri proibiti. La passione

Avalon Trilogy #3

by Indigo Bloome, Anna Ricci (Translator), Claudia Valentini (Translator)

Dopo essere stata rapita e sottoposta a esperimenti sessuali, la dottoressa Alexandra Blake sta cercando di tornare alla sua vita di sempre. Ma non è facile, perché ormai è troppo coinvolta nel gioco perverso che l’ha spinta a esplorare il lato oscuro del desiderio e l’ha lasciata preda di un inebriante miscuglio di sensazioni. Prigioniera di emozioni travolgenti cui non riesce più a rinunciare, Alexandra deve cercare di conciliare le decisioni del passato con le scelte del futuro. Sa che la chiave per accedere ai segreti che vorrebbero conoscere i suoi rapitori e il suo amante Jeremy è nascosta dentro di lei, ma l’unico modo per trovarla è lasciarsi condurre in un altro lungo viaggio alla scoperta di nuovi e sempre più sconvolgenti rituali erotici. Fino a scoprire a cosa sembra essere destinata…

I did enjoy this book. Just felt it went a bit far fetched and weird. I did'nt like the spiritual dreamy amazon scenes with the tribal people, but I understand that is what Alexa had to do to find out about her blood, and felt Xsade got forgotten about and got off lightly. First book def the best. Two and three still good reads just to finish off the series.

[Jay · Rating 4 out of 5]

wow, I wasn't expecting that! I was expecting more of the drug company shenanigans from the second book, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one.

I loved the whole Amazon spiritual journey thing going on this time, was really different to the majority of what's available at the moment, but then again the story has been since the very beginning so it shouldn't be entirely unexpected.

I kinda felt parts were missing this time round, while other bits felt quite repetitive - still no real answers about AB's blood, I wanted to know about J's "flight" & more of his story on their Amazon adventure (I still feel he's a skeptic), & heard too often about AB being awakened & how she's feeling etc just got a little dragged out & boring at times, feeling like we've been over that already...

personally I can't compare it to the Christian Grey/Gideon Cross stories. all these "if you loved fifty shades you'll love this" just doesn't sit right for me, it's nothing like it, if you go into these books thinking it is, you're gonna be very disappointed. I'd still recommend the Avalon Trilogy as a good read, just keep an open mind. there is a "love story" tucked away in there, but it's quite often hidden below some seriously questionable morals.

I guess as an ending it could have been more, but it served it's purpose and answered the primary queries from the story. overall good reading :-)

Pleasantly surprised by book#3. Enjoyed the other two, but was not overly eager and excited to wait for the last book. However, it being a trilogy I had to read the third book. I started reading it with a little hesitation but soon became very intrigued, making this an absolute great ending to the trilogy!!! The road to the typical happily ever after took a completely different turn to get there! This definitely topped the other 2 books together!

The Avalon Trilogy –Destined to Play, Destined to Feel and Destined to Fly – is one interesting trilogy.
First book was really hot erotic book about fulfilling sexual fantasy and explaining it all through medical/scientific point of view.
The second book has some of this same erotic feel, but its more criminal mystery with flashbacks into the main characters past.
The third book is more of erotic mystery novel with soul traveling back to the ancient ancestors to discover the reasons why the leading characters are together.
As you can see, all the three books are different, and I’m toying with idea that all the books are written by different authors. Do not get me wrong, they are all good books, I liked them all, just they all are so different.
The last book, Destined to Fly, is a good ending to the first two books, with nice mysterious feel, that reminds Barbara Erskine’s books. Good, easy read!

3.0 Stars!!!

This was not what I expected. This third installment was very different from the first two books. In the first two books we are treated to a story about developing pharmaceuticals and testing them....anyway....in the middle of all the action and activity is Alex & Jeremy and their feelings for one another. What would happen to them as a couple? I expected more of the same in this book and although, we did get it, the author spun this amazing tale of a drug induced "fly" through time, past lives (imagined or not) Not sure how to describe it. I am really confused. Sorry to everyone who loved this series. The author has a great imagination and I think her writing style draws you in and shares with you a glimpse into their lives and character. Will I recommend it to my friends? Not sure this is their bag.

I wasn't sure about where this book was going when it was said they were going to the amazon jungle. Leo speaking lightly about his soul flight and of Alexa's need to soul flight as well, I was confused. I, too, like others, thought there would be ugly fighting going on with Madame J &. Xsade. I loved the first two books and was very anxious to read the third book and I wasn't disappointed. Can't wait to read more of Indigo's writing

Well here Is the final instalment and my god it didn't disappoint, found the storyline gripping and a brilliant way to wrap the trilogy up, fell even more in love the characters and found myself hooked in to the journey they took. Loved the fascinating explanations and felt Indigo did the books and the characters justice a very good read and can't express more how much of a brilliant author Indigois :)

[Antonietta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow.... Truly loved the imagination & insight Indigo Bloome added to book 3.... I thought the series ended perfectly and am sad in a way that there will be no more adventures... but glad I read them all :-)

[Nellster · Rating 3 out of 5]

IMO this book was just blah...there was nothing special about it but coincidentally i was not disappointed because honestly i didnt have high expectations...book 1 was the best book IMO and at the end of book2 i wanted to read bk3 simply to see how it ended...just thought it wasn't that strong

Loved the last book! So happy for Alexa and Jeremy!

[Kathryn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Several months ago I committed myself to reviewing the books in Indigo Bloome's Avalon trilogy and here it is ... time for the final installment. And how to sum it up?

Destined to Fly is by no means any less unbelievable than the first two books in the series, however, it is pleasing the see the author making use of her talent to write about something other than Dr Alex Blake's somewhat unusual (and that's putting it mildly,) sexual fetishes and adventures. In this installment, the plot veers off in an unexpected direction when Alex and her family go into hiding from the Xsade company who want more of her rare blood. While hiding in the Amazon, Alex finds herself on a spiritual journey that yields some surprising results.

Bloome is a talented author whose ability to write a suspenseful page turner is commendable. I enjoyed this series and the fact that it was not at all predictable and certainly not the Fifty Shades of Grey rip-off that I had envisioned when I first heard about this series. (Yes, Anna from Harper Collins, you were entirely right on that score ...) I'm looking forward to see what Bloome comes up with next, should she continue to write.

While I loved this trilogy I found this third book not quite as good as the other two. I did love the suspense of not knowing what was going on but never saw this outcome at all. I often found myself thinking it maybe went a little bit too far fetched. It just seemed to end for me thinking that it was pretty much just about the threesome involving Alexandra, Jeremy and Leo and now what there are other women like Alex that Leo is protecting?? So she wasn't that special after all...I don't know it just baffled me alot of the time as to what was really going on. I still loved how much Jeremy and Alexandra adored one another and how much Jeremy wanted to protect her. And the ending for them was adorable...I'm glad they got to have a family of their own.

[Veronica · Rating 5 out of 5]

For some reason it took me a little while to get into this book but it is by far the best out of all of the 3 books. I loved the fact that all the main characters were in it together and how their lives all crossed in such a spiritual way. Admittedly at first I was sceptical at the interrelationships but perseverance most definitely paid off. Loved it.

[Louise · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well that was weird and totally wasn't what I was expecting! This series has been totally unlike anything I've ever read and even after reading all three I honestly can't tell you whether I loved it or not! All I know is, I didn't hate it and the story had me gripped from start to finish it. It's not a book or series I would necessarily read again but I'm glad I did read them.

[Samantha Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome series! Loved the whole thing. This last book of the series is just.. Wow. So manus ups and downs! So many twists and turns! It really is like a roller coaster. Indigos imagination is defiantly a wild one ;) xx hoping she continues with her writing hehe

[Liz · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book and the whole series. The spiritual journey in the amazon was great if a bit too long and repetitive in places. I did like the trip back in history. I am an eternal optimist and therefore, really liked the ending :)

[Tina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well after reading this until the end I understand the meaning of the middle elements which are required to understand the trilogy, I can't say it wasn't a little weird but I did eventually enjoy the end results, I good read if you are open to more than just reality.

[Deb Hanson · Rating 4 out of 5]

uummm what do I say
WOW!!! I am not sure that the story line was quite what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised by the ending. Not so sure about the middle though. Now I want another book, what happens next? ??

[Ashleigh · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this book more than the other 2 simply because the storyline was finally shown.. Leo sounds like an unstoppable force and Alexa needs his awakening. The way the book ended hints there's gonna be another book or another series?

[Yolanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was a bit surprised by the 3rd book, but enjoyed it as much as the previous two. I loved the surprising twist to way the that Alexa, Jeremy and Leo was all connected by their past. I just wish that there was more books.

[Glenda Bowers · Rating 5 out of 5]

A bit disappointed, not as riveting as the other 2.

[Jan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Liked the whole series, just thought some of the ending was a bit weird. Even though the whole series was weird in places. Loved Jeremy and Alexandra.

[Bianca Cuxson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely not what I was expecting after the first two books tho it was a great twist in the story's direction! I loved it!

[Gsr · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thoroughly enjoyed thew 3rd book in this series, the story went a bit weird in places, but kind of good weird. Was hinted at a possible follow up story at the end, hope we see more in this series.

[Jen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book wasn't at all what I expected... It went off into a weird story line, I still loved it but seemed a little to far fetched compared to the other two...

Yazar hakikaten hazırmış uçmaya... İyi de uçmuş hani :D

Neyse seriyi bitirdim çok şükür ona seviniyorum :D
