Once again Alisa never ceases to amaze me. This book is by far the best of the series. I cried even more while reading this book than I did in the first 2 books. Like the rest it was a must finish from the moment I opened the book. In this book we get more of a background of both Nick and Sam.
Sam was Nicks close childhood friend, who is up to no good. She's a heartless woman willing to do anything to end a relationship that's just starting to bloom. She goes out of her way to cause Lizzie to leave Nick. You can't help but to hate her through half a little the book. Then bam, we get more of her story and you can't help but feel some what bad for her.
Nick, oh sweet Nick. He's more than anyone woman can ask for. He's love for Lizzie is unconditional, he will move the world to prove to her that he loves her and her baby. He also would do anything for Sam, even if that includes making Lizzie mad. Once everything comes out I love Nick's alpha ways. He's more than willing to hurt the person that caused him and Lizzie so much pain.
Oh and I cant forget the asshole Teagan, I can't believe the shit he was willing to do. I was so pissed that he not once mention the baby. I'm so glad Nick is more of a man willing to raise Niall as his own and love him as his own!!
Thanks for the HEA for Nick and Lizzie, and for giving us Nick, Lizzie, Conner, Sean, Sam, Teagan, Freddie and all the rest of The Chosen characters. <3

Another standing ovation for Alisa Mullen!
The third book in the series is just as good as the first two. She keeps you guessing at every turn. The ending, again, what a heart stopper. She really knows how to get you going. and yes I am shaking my fist at you right now, saying why me, why me. Lol
This conclusion to the story of Lizzie couldn't have ended in a better way. Even though the ending was excruciatingly sad. She and Nick have to fight through a lot more struggles, to get where they want to be.
You will get a surprise visit by somebody from the past. Hence the whole I want to punch you in the throat shelf. There's just so much I want to say about this book, but I do not want to give it away. So I'm just going to leave this one short and sweet, and just recommend that you continue reading or start from the beginning of the series until you get to this one.
Alisa has many more books out there that are just as fantastic as this one. Keep it up Alisa we love you.

The good news? I managed to not sob like a baby, although I will admit to a few, quiet tears and a lot of bottom lip biting. The bad news? The end of Unrequited means the end of the Chosen Series and my love affair with a certain red-headed Phish fan. But not really. I'll be putting Lizzie, Nick, Niall and company in the re-read pile. Soon.
Nick Sawyer is living the life. He has his perfect girl, a beautiful son and a baby on the way. Everything is right. But then Samantha Hughes waltzes back into his life and suddenly, his world is spiraling out of control. Sam lost the love of her life one night, just a few months ago. She knows she'll never marry for love, not now he's gone, so she's back in Boston, determined to act on her father's wishes and steal Nick away from his bohemian fiancé. That's the plan anyway, but she didn't count on his love for Lizzie O'Malley...
I could not put this book down. I clicked through page after page after page, wanting to know that Nick and Lizzie would be okay, hoping that Samantha wasn't the complete shallow bitch she seemed and wishing that somehow a deceased character could be brought back... (I won't say who, because *spoilers* but I'm still heartbroken about what happened in Unchosen). I'll admit I had a few misgivings about Unrequited, namely the level of shallowness displayed by Samantha - which was a little too over-the-top and stereotypical rich girl for my tastes - and the lack of Lizzie's voice. I truly missed that messed-up, selfish, loyal and endearing girl. Her growth, her perspective made the first two books memorable. But that doesn't mean I didn't love this book. It was awesome to spend time with Nick, sexy Texan that he is. I loved him in the previous book and having his perspective was a treat. I was also impressed with how Alisa Mullen made me care for Sam, taking her from bitchy stereotype to tragic heroine. My heart broke for her, even while it was soaring for Nick and Lizzie. The ending was bittersweet, in the way that real life often is, and perfect. Especially since I was rewarded with a little bit of Lizzie. This was a great conclusion to a wonderful, emotional and real series. I'm just a little sad there won't be more.
Unrequited is the final book in the Chosen Series. It is not a standalone book. No cliffhanger.

Absolutely loved the whole series
July 20, 2014
This being the final book in this trilogy had a lot to live up to, and I can honestly say that I was not disappointed.
This was written form the perspectives of Nick and Sam. Sam has been told by her father for years that she is to marry Nick (who is in love and engaged to Lizzie). She is sent back to Boston from Texas by her father to split the happy couple up where she is to then take her rightful place as his wife to be.
She gets in between the couple and when the timing is right her father makes sure Lizzie loses her job then Sam swoops in to tell her that she is not the right person for Nick and doesn't belong in his world. Lizzie packs up and leaves with her son whilst Nick is at work and he returns to an empty house.
He tries everyone he knows to find where she has gone but no one knows.
When he does find her she is with Teagan (her irish ex and father to Niall). Nick lets her have the time she needs to sort herself out, but when she returns to their apartment with Teagan in tow he wonders whether its all over. Teagan apparently only wants money from them!! Nice I know!! Once he leaves they start to work on Sam and her father after the truth comes out.
Sam hits the hard times, alcohol, drugs and sex.
Her father gets his jus desserts too.

Unrequited is book #3 in The Chosen Series and OMG I could not put it down…ok, I had to a few time so I didn’t shatter my tablet against the wall…but what a ride!!!
Poor Lizzie…just when everything seems to be finally working out here comes another steaming pile of crap for her to deal with. Granted she had her moments too…because sometimes being rational just doesn’t happen when you are emotionally spent, and she has a tendency to be a little immature at times…but that’s one of the reasons I love her so. She is a character you can really connect with and understand. From one Irish girl to another…I love the hell out of her!
Nick…with all his good intentions doesn’t see the crap pile who calls herself Samantha and threatens everything he holds dear in life. As a typical man there are multiple times I wanted to reach in and slap him upside the head.
Samantha…oh don’t even get me started. I hated her from the very beginning and it only got worse until the end of the story. By the end I felt really bad for her.
It’s so hard to not give spoilers…but alas I won’t. All I have to say is go one-click this baby if you haven’t because it is another winner from Alisa Mullen! If you haven’t started the series yet…what the hell are you waiting for?!?!?

Holy Donkeyballs!!! I just have to say Alisa Mullen is one talented writer and storyteller. Unrequited is the last book in the Chosen Series and it was absolutely incredible. It finally gave us the insite in to what was up with that Sam chick we were introduced to in the end of Unchosen. I hated her with a passion in the beginning and ended up feeling sorry for her in the end. There is definitely some ugly crying and kindle throwing moments of this book. Emotional Rollercoaster isnt even the beginning this book will definitely make you feel the story.
Enough about my review, go by this book, well the whole Chosen Series and let the world know what you thought. You will not be disappointed!!

A brilliant conclusion to Lizzy's story. I've loved these books, O read all three in one sitting, I just had to know what happened in the end.
The trauma and tragedy just keeps on coming. Lizzy and Nick are just adjusting to being together when a spanner is thrown in the works in the shape of Samantha - an old friend of Nick's. Just when things don't seem to be able to get any worse for Lizzy she loses her job and she makes the worst decision imaginable. Ourside forces appear to be conspiring against Nick and Lizzy but will their love survive?
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed these books. The characters are brilliant and the story so full of twists and turns. Just brilliant. I look forward to reading Sean's story.

given to me in exchange for an honest review with thx to Stephanie's book reports
i liked this book a lot i felt it was the best in the entire series, it had me hooked from the get go a strong story of lack of communication that can simply destroy us and remind us that we should not only hear each other but listen , i have to admit from the first book i was not all that thrilled for the series but each book got better and better , i am still a little disapointed that there wasn't an Irish accent reference in there still but still an awesome read, sad at times it had me teary eyed funny sexy and heart felt good job Alisa 5 stars well done

The conclusion of Lizzie's story and the Chosen Series! You will cry, yell, laugh, and go on a full blown emotional rollercoaster with this book. It is well written and stunning. Lizzie and Nick are still working on their relationship when Sam comes back to Boston with a plan of her own. This book is full of surprises and twists and turns. Lizzie will continue to grow right before your eyes. I loved how this book ended and couldn't have seen it any other way. You will be shocked and amazed. This is a series you must read. Grab the Kleenex, grab a drink and jump in. LOVED IT!!!

This book is the final book in the series and yeah Nick and Lizzie do get a HEA. There is a lot of drama in this book mainly residual because of Conner's death. We learn how he died. Claire, Lizzie's mother is still not doing well because of the death of her son. Then there is lots of drama stemming from Samantha. Not sure why her father wanted her to be attached to Nick - money okay -- but she is rich too. That was not clear to me. I found the storyline with Sam at the end very disturbing but I guess she got her HEA as well because she wanted to be with the one she loved.

Lizzie and Nick. This story is told from Nick's POV. It was great to see into the mind of a male character. Sam, I really don't know what to say about her without giving away spoilers, I will say I hated her; wanted to knock the crap out of her then sympathy and respect. Thi book will put you on an emotional rollercoaster, but not in a bad way. It is very well written and allows for the reader to sink into it, feel the experiences with the characters.
May 26, 2014
this book topped all three. i felt it was better than the first two in the series. So much emotion in such a short amount of time. I love reading about Nick and Lizzie from Nick's point of view. I absolutly hated samantha at first, then as things went on she grew on me. i would love to say more about her but it would give too much away. In the end, I reccomend this book to anyone who loves to read love storys that are true to life. Alisa is an awesome author!

This is the final book in the Chosen series ~ What an amazing series, the story took me on a real journey of discoverers. I loved each and every book, I felt the love, friendships, pain, tears and laughter.
This is the first time I have read books by Alisa Mullen and I will be reading each and every book from the author from now on, a real talent that draws you in.
BRILLIANT ~ A MUST READ
June 4, 2014
This was my favourite of the series, I loved getting inside Nick's head, learning how deeply and passionately he loves Lizzie made me a little jealous, they aren't just lovers they are soul mates and best friends. I know why Sam did it but christ I really hated her but by the end Alisa turned my opinion round and my heart just hurt for her. This book was a fitting end to their story even though at times I was scared to read what was going to happen next. Can't wait for more from this author.
June 28, 2014
This book is written from the perspective of Nick, Lizzie's true love, and Sam, the B attempting to run them off the rails. I love getting parts of Lizzie's story from Nick and I definitely had a hate-hate relationship with Sam. However, the book is well written, and the emotional undercurrent of the characters' relationships makes for a really hard-hitting book. A wonderful piece of closure for these characters, and another great book from Mullen!
May 26, 2014
I have loved every book in this series and could not be happier to finally know where it all goes. I love Nick and Lizzy, they make such a great couple and seem to have such great chemistry in all aspects of their relationship. We still have some ups and downs in this book but what a ride. All I can say is you MUST read the final book and have your curiosity sated. Nick is the bomb baby!
May 28, 2014
I am seriously crying too much for a review. An amazing, incredible book that has touched me like no other book has before. There are so many things in this book that are similar to my life and what I've gone through to not be so emotional right now. All I can say fir now is it is a must read!!!! I look forward to more from her.
I will add more to this when I am not crying!
I will add more to this when I am not crying!
July 7, 2014
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book! I actually cried while reading this book and that doesn't happen very often. I feel like I am a part of Lizzy and Nick's life and I would love to catch up with them in the future!
July 25, 2014
Nick still very much in love with Lizzie but when the past comes back to Nick in the form of Sam things aren't so easy anymore. Nick being pulled in to many ways and didn't understand what was happened he lost everything but found his way back. Lots of tears in this book but it was great.
July 25, 2014
Brilliant final book and a beautiful story.
I loved the journey Lizzie took me on through her heartache and traumas but then she shared the joys of finding true love and it was beautiful.
A really great read.
