Getting to the Truth

I like that this final trilogy in the series includes plenty of reflection as Del, Kenna, and Iliya move into the next phase of their relationships. These are flawed characters. Add that to plenty of heated encounters and I really enjoyed this series and would recommend it.


Here are my individual reviews for each book. Happy reading! 📚💋

Embrace 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Kenna Gets Her Groove
Except that we will be going back several days to Iliya Smoak's POV, I loved everything about Kenna MacTavish's journey in this installment. The reflection, the adventure and realizations, the determination, and the bonding with an unlikely person. It isn't all pretty, but I love how it comes together.

If I’m honest with myself, I’d say I’m more saddened things didn’t work out with Del, than Iliya.
-- Kenna MacTavish

Iliya and Delancey "Del" Ecker don't have as much of a physical presence, but that's OK. I really hope all find their version of an HEA, even if it isn't together. That's still TBD.


Embrace - Iliya's Story 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - When the Cat's Away
The focus is on Iliya Smoak. *rubs hands together* When Delancey "Del" Ecker, the proverbial cat, is away, this mouse really does play. There's no denying that her playtime is varied and so crazy hot, but I also like that the conversations are mostly honest and thought provoking.

Del takes care of me. While William professes to want to take over this role, the fact is my husband takes very good care of me.

And how do I repay him?
-- Iliya Smoak

It's an interesting read, and I'm looking forward to what this means for Kenna MacTavish.


Embrace -Del's Story 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - The Last Stop
Delancey "Del" Ecker's final installment in this series does what I've been wanting, moves the story forward with little overlap to the two earlier books in the trilogy, and we get an HEA for at least one character. It's also a bit of an emotional ride, but I'm here for it. 😢

Maybe it was time to get what I wanted. To take control of things.
-- Delancey "Del" Ecker

Iliya Smoak and Kenna MacTavish play big roles and seeing things transition is very interesting. I really like the way this ended. It's true to each character. 💜

Iliya and Del are married but looking for a new unicorn after their last long-term girlfriend. They meet Kenna and both feel a connection to her. Kenna has been a homebody since her divorce several years before but now might be the time to come out of her comfort zone. Now there are issues with jealousy and secrets between the trio, can they still survive in their threesome relationship?

The book is told first from Kenna's perspective, then Iliya, then Del but the story progresses as it changes perspective but with new information and learning their thoughts and secrets. I still really dislike Iliya's character, but she gets better in this book. Interesting twist, I saw it coming but still thought it was a satisfying ending. This book flowed better than the last one with less repetition. Very hot spice since it was finally all three of them involved.

The final three entries to this 9 book series. A complex and emotional story told from three POVs. Steamy, unpredictable and totally enjoyable.
