The third and final volume of the Club Solitaire Collection and covers the final three books of what was previously the Diamond Doms series. There has been a long running plot throughout this series and it builds up to the grand finale in the these last books. All of the previous couples do pop up in the various books and it’s good to have a mini catch up on them while following the final three couple’s stories.
Rough is Dakota and Jax’s story and they definitely had quite a history and boy did they have a bit of a bumpy ride at first given the miscommunication of what happened in the past. This book was not as heavy on the BDSM as some of the others books but that did not take away from the story at all. I loved Dakota’s sass and how Jax responded to her. My they did have some very hot moments and there book really set the scene for who or what was plotting against the board of Club Solitaire.
Flawless focused on Matthew and Kendall and goodness what a complicated family dynamic they had. Kendall may be from an aristocratic background but she definitely has skills and nope I’d definitely not want to cross her given that she can give 007 a run for his money. Kendall is a strong character who owns her choices and embraces the BDSM lifestyle. Another couple with quite a history finally going for it. Again this book hooks you in with things coming to light that have you looking right back to these these characters past….this book does end on a cliffhanger but luckily the next book is right there.
Forever is the final book in this series and in Russell and Gemma’s book not only do we get a wonderful story but all the answers as well. A word of caution this book is heavy on the BDSM with Russell and Gemma very much into sadism and masochism, however those elements really do enhance their characters. I loved their story, Russell had very firm boundaries where marriage is concerned… could he change his beliefs and be comfortable with his choices given his feelings for Gemma are unlike any he’s experienced in past relationships. Gemma is no shrinking violet and goes after what she wants but she does have vulnerabilities that mirror real life.
The conclusion of the ongoing plot was good but a lot of the action took place off page. I get this book was about Russell and Gemma but I would have loved a paragraph or two of actual action resolving the plot of who and why this cabal were out to get the couples and their comeuppance. But overall that’s a minor niggle that doesn’t take away from the overall story.
I’m this book there were some bonus epilogues and short stories I loved where we get to see how the couples are down the line. I thoroughly enjoyed these extra catch-ups with the Club Solitaire family.
I received a free copy from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily, I loved the series from start to finish.

Club Solitaire - Rough, Flawless, and Forever all together! I love having all three books in one place for continuous reading. To be able to finish off the series and solve the mystery that has plagued the members of the elite club from the first book, this ending completely floored me! How each couple grew in their dynamic is fantastic to see occur.
Rough:
Jax and Dakota have an unparalleled relationship. With the investigation that the club must run, Dakota can no longer avoid Jax. She purposely behaves like a brat for Jax, knowing the treatment she will receive from him. Theirs is an explosive pairing that has a history. Whether or not they can resolve the past and have a future is the question.
Flawless:
Matthew knows how to play dead. He doesn't do it to hurt his friends and family but to protect them. When it comes to being persistent, Kendall holds the gold medal. She won't stop until she discovers the truth surrounding Matthew's "death." The two have fought their feelings for a very long time. Now they may have a chance at a future but not with the danger to the club members hanging over them. Can they solve the mystery in time to save them all?
Forever:
Russell has always taken care of his circle of friends. When that extends to Gemma, he finds out he has his hands more than full. Gemma isn't about to let him get off easily. With danger around every corner, she's going to make him see just what is between them is worth fighting for while they must solve the mystery surrounding Solitaire once and for all.
This is the exciting conclusion to an epic series involving a circle of friends who have become family. So tightly interwoven that one person's pain is the next, they will stop at nothing to protect each other. I love this look into the lifestyle that each couple lives so freely. I highly recommend this whole series.

This was a collection of the last 3 books in the Diamond Doms series. Each story builds on the central mystery of who is trying to destroy the Club Solitaire main players. We finally get all the answers in Forever but until then we get more secrets and suspense in Rough and Flawless as well as various kinks and love stories.
Rough: This is Dakota and Jax's story. I really enjoyed this story and all the intrigue and backstory provided. Added more questions and some of it was sad but more on that in later stories. This book starts out hot and heavy but then we get the main conflict and this story builds on the previous relationship these two had and what went wrong and how they find their way back to each other, the chemistry never leaves. Hot, hot, hot.
Flawless: This is Matthew, Kendall and Gemma. It is a complicated affair and so much happened in the past that effects the present but Matthew and Kendall find their way to each other. It is a crazy ride as we get more villains but as this is a set so we can jump right into the last book. This was probably my least favourite of the three but I still really enjoyed it, just main kink was not my cup of tea.
Forever: Gemma finally gets her man, Russell. This is a S&M as the main kink. It was very interesting as it brought up things I would never had thought of and was hot and steamy. They fit well and Russell has a very hard time at first because Gemma is still married in a arranged marriage but it is a no go for Russell. We find out why and we finally get all the answers to the central mystery.
This has been one crazy ride and we get to finish this book with 2 Extended epilogues and a Christmas story which is basically Russell and Gemma's but we get to catch up with the others. It is a nice ending to see where everyone is after the main stories.

This is book #7 in the Diamond Doms series. You can't go wrong when reading a book by Ivy Nelson. I wouldn't make a very good detective because I have not been able to figure out who the villain actually is in this series. I love a good romantic BDSM suspense book.
Flawless

4 out of 5 stars
I know all my reviews for the Diamond Doms series have been 5 star but this one fell a little short for me. I didn't connect to the m/c's love for each other while Matt was married to Kendall's sister. Also, I would have liked to see Kendal use more of her agent/spy skills. Matthew seemed a little too weak of a character to be a Dom to me at least. Looking forward to the conclusion of this series.
Forever

Main Characters: Gemma and Russell
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
5 out of 5 stars
OMG, this is the 9th and final book in the Diamond Doms series. Everyone get your thinking cap on. This book is packed with a ton of drama and sex! This whole series was a romantic BDSM suspense series for me and each book with a HEA ending. Although sadists/masochists are not my favorite part of BDSM, this was a great story. I am hoping to see more of our characters in further books by Ivy.

The 3rd volume of the Club Solitaire Collections contains the final three books in the formarly called Diamonad Doms series - Rough, Flawless and Forever. Perfect for binge-reading, each book features a couple's often stony path to love with the underlying suspense plot carrying on until the very end.
Rough is the story of Dakota - the only submissive on the board of Club Solitaire - and Jax, the investigator brought in to help solve the mystery behind the trouble each one of the board members faces. As in the other books, the love scenes are HOT, although not heavy on BDSM.
Flawless, Matthew and Gemma's story, adds even more subplots and new villaneous characters! Their relationship is far more complicated and unlike the other books, this one ends on a very abrupt and steep cliffhanger in all respects. Fortunately, in this collection, the happy conclusion is only a page-turn away!
In Forever, the series goes out with a BANG! Full of drama, surprising twists and turns and EXTREMELY intense scenes, Russell and Gemma's story, is heavier on kink than the previous books. A true sadist paired with a masochist, they are involved in activities that made me squirm and flinch at times, but Gemma asks for them and Russell delivers! The descriptions are very graphic and so real, you feel like you are there with them. When all the secrets are out about the threats to Club Solitaire and its members, it comes as a complete surprise - yet is so logical, that it should have been obvious. Very cleverly done!

Club Solitaire: Volume 3 (Club Solitaire Collections) by Ivy Nelson, contains books 7 = 9 of the series! What a wild ride they are!!! The series is complete!!
First, there’s Rough, which follows Jax and Dakota. They’ve known each other for years. But, Dakota HATES him. He’s done the unforgiveable. They meet up again years later and she doesn’t realize who he is…things happen. But, now they have to work together to uncover a mystery….
Dakota is a force to be reckoned with!! Jax has met his match with her. Too bad she hates him. Jax is a fierce protector…now, his protection extends to Dakota…and her life is in danger. But, from who? Ends in a cliffhanger!!
Flawless is next and it is the story of Mathew and Kendall. His family sets up a marriage between him and Kendall’s sister. But, it’s Kendall that he’s enamored with. Yet, anything between them is impossible after he marries her sister. Years later, things are in flux…things change…and what now??? Tightrope story that will keep you engaged!!!
Forever is the last story in this set. It follows Russell and Gemma. Not my favorite in this set, but a pretty good story. Some of the scenes were way over the top, in my opinion…and I had difficulty getting through some of them. It seemed there were some parts of the story missing or maybe just not complete? But, I liked the story.

The third and final volume of the Club Solitaire Collection has the last three books of what was the Diamond Doms series. It also contains the finale to the plot that has run through the entire series.
Rough follows Dakota and Jax, a story I was looking forward to, and it did not disappoint. Lighter on the Bdsm front but still full of story and HOT scenes. It's the real start of the reveal of the underlying plot.
Flawless, Matthew and Kendall's story, brings new subplots and characters. Their story is a real page turner and ends with a cliffhanger. Which thankfully is resolved only a page away.
Forever, the finale, is Russell and Gemma's story and the conclusion of it all. The BDSM is much heavier than in other books, and heavier on the sadism and masochism, with some really HOT scenes. The underlying plot conclusion was a surprise and yet was logical, so well done. But the actual ending of this felt a bit rushed for me and I'd have liked a bit more detail. But that's personal preference.
I was sad to see the series end but can't recommend it enough. Feel a bit like I'm leaving a family/good friends behind.

First off once again I have to say that Ivy Nelson is an absolutely stellar writer! BDSM books are not my preferred genre but when it's an Ivy Nelson it's always worth it because she writes it in a way that makes you feel comfortable and it's so easy to get lost in her story lines. With this three book collection you get Jax and Dakota's story (my favorite!), kind of an enemies to lovers tale. Matthew and Kendall, a totally makes sense if you read it but I'm in love with my sister-in-law story. And finally Gemma and Russell, an age gap/she's technically still married book. They're all amazing and intertwined with super hot nights and days and kind of almost a mafia feel in that Club Solitaire and it's members are family and they always protect each other and fight for one another. All three are great stories and you can't help but love all the characters for their quirks, the banter among friends, and of course the steamy scenes that play out pretty much anywhere the characters feel like it.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book from the author.
Solitaire Volume 3 contains three different books from Ivy Nelson and they are Rough, Flawless and Forever.
In Rough, Jax Fischer knew Dakota years ago when they were teenagers but he was a trouble maker back then. Years later when they met at Club Solitaire, Dakota did not realize that the guy she spent the night with is the same guy that she has promised herself to stay away from. But when trouble come looking for Dakota, will she put her pride aside and let Jax help her out.
In Flawless, Matthew Bruce faked his own death to protect the ones that he loved but when someone that someone found out that he's still alive, will he let his family at Solitaire help him out?
I'm Forever, Russell Adler was asked by his bestfriend, Elijah, to keep an eye on his wife Holly, and her bestfriend Gemma whiles Elijah was away. The only problem is that Gemma is a pain in Russell's butt and no matter what he does, she makes his job even harder. Will he be able to protect Holly and Gemma before it's too late?

If you have read these books before you will want this book for the bonus content alone!!!! It is amazing and I love seeing these wonderful characters back together like this.
Rough-
Well......can we start with that cliffhanger? I had my suspicions, but OMG!!!!! Jax and Dakota's story was not what I was expecting in the best way possible. I love how sassy Dakota is and Jax while Alpha is a bit more subtle than some of the previous characters. Once again some answers and more questions about who is targeting this group and the why. It's been such a wonderful journey to try and figure things out.
Flawless-
Matthew, Kendall & Gemma.....what an interesting dynamic this book brought to the series. So many twists and turns happened very quickly and the danger is still lurking around every corner. I love a good who done it story and this one keeps getting better and better. More answers were found, but new questions arise. Can't wait for the next book in this series.
Forever-
What a perfect ending to this series!! Russell and Gemma's story was perfect as the last story. I loved how everyone was included in the book and all the questions that started in book 1 were answered and everything was wrapped up in a perfect bow. I am sad that this chapter is coming to a close, but happy to have seen some of these familiar faces in other series by this author.

This volume contains books 7, 8, and 9.
Rough: Jax and Dakota are forced to work together, so they can figure out the present, and the past. They finally succumb to their smoldering passion for one another. Good book, there's mystery, suspense, and romance.
Flawless: Wow, I feel for Kendall throughout this book. Kendall reconnects with Mathew, but there is no smooth sailing in their relationship. I love how independent and strong Kendall is. Good book.
Forever: I love the dynamic between Gemma and Russel. She proves to be a challenge for him personally, and professionally. There's lots of angst, mayhem, and sizzling chemistry.

Rough, Flawless, Forever
This is my first introduction to Ivy Nelson’s Diamonds of Club Solitaire Series and now I definitely have to go back and read Volume 1 and 2 of the series to get the rest of the Founders of Club Solitaire’s stories. It is a fabulous steamy contemporary romance series with alpha heroes and sassy heroines that encounter the perfect balance of danger, mystery and suspense to make an exceptional storyline. Love that the series is available as a boxset so I was able to just keep reading till the epic conclusion. I always enjoy Ivy Nelson’s style of writing kinky romance stories and this boxset is no exception.
I received an ARC of this book from the author in return for voluntarily writing an honest review.

Vol. 3 contains the final 3 stories in the Club Solitaire series. We get the stories of the last 3 members of the board and the conclusion to the mystery in the background story. Ms. Nelson does a great job of tying all the books together, but at the same time each has it's own story for each couple so can be read as a stand alone. Each has it's own style of kink and just enough to add some spice to a great story. I received an advanced review copy for free and I am leaving this honest review voluntarily.

Not to my taste. found this hard going; 3 books in one and a continuous, involved storyline. The introduction seemed to indicate there was more to come. It felt drawn out and did not hold my interest so I skipped parts. The dynamic between the couple were interesting, but it was too repetitive in many ways , lacking excitement and especially in regards to the more personal issues. The BDSM aspects did not really add much as it was akin to a soap opera and I felt it didn't really add anything. Others may disagree.

These are the final three stories in this series, and they are fantastic. I enjoyed binge reading these stories as each couple finds their way to each other. The mystery that is carried throughout had me intrigued and the steamy bits are over the top and exciting. I loved this series and glad some of these characters appear in her offshoot stories. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I've read all the other books in this series so it was nice to be able to read the last three back-to-back. Dakota and Jax's story unfolds in Rough. Matthew and Kendall's gets unscrambled in Flawless. Russell and Gemma finish the series in Forever. And we get to see all our favorite characters as they unravel who is behind the threats against them. There is some serious heat to this series to go along with the danger and intrigue.

I started reading this series with Ivy Nelson's story in Dirty Billionaires Anthology. Then Ivy started with Club Solitaire and put them in box sets. This was a great conclusion to the series. There was mystery, intrigue but still the very hot times you would expect from this type of exclusive club. Don't miss out on the bonus content.
I received a free ARC of this book and voluntarily left this review.

Ivy Nelson is a phenomenal author.
I Ioved the three stories!!! The pain and pleasure something I enjoyed reading about. It is very interesting how the main characters come together. The three couples try to find out why and who trying to destroy the club and murder them. There are twists and turns throughout the book, love, jealousy, misunderstanding, suspense, drama, BDSM and lots of sex scenes. I am sure you will love the collection as much as I did. ENJOY!!!!!!!

perfect ending
This series was 🔥🔥🥵🥵. These final three books really ramped it up in my opinion. The intrigue of the back story has me glued to these books and the relationship of each couple and how they each got stronger within their own relationships but also in their friendship was truly brilliant.

I love love it when an author puts several books together because I’m so impatient for the next release! And since I had not read any of these yet, it was even better!
Ivy has such talent putting together a story that includes surprises as well as HEA endings – for some. And you are never disappointed with any of them. This collection of three is just what I expected it to be, wrapping some stories up and leaving openings for the future!
The plan is to reread them to find those things I missed the first time since I was so engrossed in the next page! My imagination was going wild and it never disappointed me!

This collection was a great opportunity for me to finish the Diamond Doms collection. There are three different stories and I guess if I had to choose my favorite of the three, I'd say Rough which was the story of Jax and Dakota. Lighter on the BDSM but still hot in its own right. I'd certainly recommend. I received an ARC copy.

One of my favorite series. Ivy never disappoints! I always love when it’s a series and you can binge read them all together. I love everything about these couples and the stories about what they’ve been through, how they deal with it and what happens next. Ivy has a way of pulling you right in to the story and making you wish it would never end.

Club Solitaire volume 3
Ivy has done it again, although I've read the 3 books on their own, I still loved the volume and the bonus content. I don't think I'll ever hate Ivy's books well done.
It was also interesting to read the different kinks they all had but I think Russell's kinks were a bit much for me, Gemma had fun and I guess they all had fun

Having read all three of these books, I really enjoyed them.
Ivy Nelson really knows how to write and bring it she does.
The stories are full of intensity, drama, a small element of danger and romantic as well.
Really has it all and the books all I can highly recommend.
Great work Ivy!!

This box set is great. I hadn't read the individual books so a lot of read had to be done. The sex scenes are hot and they mystery they had to solve together is amazing. The stories are fast paced and I love all the characters. I was enthralled all the way. Just loved it!!
