Indiscretion: Volume Three

Rate this book
A summer of f*ck buddies? Something to take the edge off? I was down.

But when Chloe shows up at my hotel door, wanting to rip my head off, rather than give me head—I cared. A lot. Too much, in fact.

This is turning into more. And I can’t do more.

Like the ink under my skin she’s becoming permanent. Enduring. Immovable.

Was I ready to let her go though?

Not a f*cking chance.

In no particular order, I would like to share with you a list of my FAVORITE things to come out of Canada:
Scott Pilgrim
Ellen Page
Michael J. Fox
Jim Carrey
Peanut Butter (Probably one of the most important food innovations of all time. First patented by Canadian Marcellus Gilmore Edson in 1884.)
Ryan Gosling
Elisabeth Grace! (Although, this cliffhanger puts her on thin ice!)
The word, "Eh?"


Now that I have warned Elisabeth with my list, LOL, I will get back to why you are here. THE BOOK.

***I received a copy in exchange for an honest review***

Elisabeth introduces some Portuguese to you while bringing you back into the wonderful world of Max Richfield and Chloe Griffins.

"Saudade (Portuguese) (n) a nostalgic longing to be near again to something or someone that is distant, or that has been loved and then lost

After Chloe finds what was left for her on the counter she storms to Max's hotel to confront him and end things, per her bosses direction. Life (and LOVE) isn't always as easy as planned. An explosion of emotion and explanations leads them to participating in what some might call "an illicit affair." Hot, right? In a small town like this, is can be excruciating to accomplish.

During a weekend getaway out of town, both Max and Chloe are able to let their guards down and act like a couple. Max sees a side of Chloe that he can't help but smile at, and he sees a whole different side to her love for architecture. One of my favorite encounters between the two was when he asked to tell him something he didn't know.

I smiled and lifted an eyebrow. "You're going to have to fill me in on what exactly a word nerd is, I'm afraid." I had no idea what she was talking about, but I was sure whatever it was would be adorable as hell.

"I have this habit of wanting to learn really strange English words, or learn words in other languages that don't have a literal translation to English."

Later she gets to asking him, and while she can obviously see he is hiding something deeper, he shares with her too.

"Okay. I secretly loved The Notebook," I deadpanned.

"Really?" She laughed. "Movie or the book?"

I gave her my best are-you-serious face? "I'm not completely giving up my man card, Chloe. The movie. I wouldn't read the book."

There weekend getaway gave me hope in a situation where there doesn't seem to be any. There are glimmers of true feelings in this 'summer fling' and that warms and breaks my heart at the same time. How can this work? And then Max goes and does the GRAND GESTURE thing that gets me in every love story, and I am LOST! There is no turning back, Max has my heart.



Wait? Did you think I was going to share it with you? Nope! Sorry! I may spoil hints of the story with my love of quotes, but not giving that one away! You will have to ONE-CLICK the book on September 1st to find out that one. And when you finish this book, I would LOVE to know your thoughts on Elisabeth's incredible ability to suck the air of out my lungs with her no warning cliffhangers. I know. I know. Third installment in a 3 part serial. I should know this, but really? And if you know Elisabeth, as she read that last line she is laughing evilly at the pain she has caused my heart and soul.

"Jaaneman... It means 'the soul of me.' The Persian word for sweetheart or darling."

What starts out to be a regular affair between Chloe and Max transpires into a series of circumstances threatening their relationship.
The thought of how much I was growing to need her was unsettling, but letting her go seemed to be a scarier prospect at the moment.

It's not easy when you need to keep the relationship a secret. She didn’t want to lose everything what she had worked so hard. This relationship was not permitted.

This a three for one right there! I am going to review all of the first 3 volumes of Indiscretion. Let me start by saying my brain's definition of indiscretion is like a little white lie something you may have done that was frowned upon by society or your parents. SOOOOO... I looked it up naturally and here is what Merriam Webster had to say

:an act or remark that shows a lack of good judgment : an indiscreet act or remark. See I wasn't to far off the mark right?


Anyways, after finishing all 3 volumes I would say that Blake Richardson was the one thing that Chloe Griffins did right and well I might add. SERIOUSLY!!!

In volume one we are introduced to the characters in an indiscrete situation. One I would LOVE to experience I might add. I was a little apprehensive that this book was going to be totally predictable but, Sure as shit I was totally wrong. Chloe is a sassy lil thing learning to come out of her shell and Blake is just the man to help her with that if you know what I mean.


WHEW so just when I thought I was going to erupt like Mt. Fuji, I was at the end of the first volume with a cliffy like NOOOOOOO....

Thank God Volume 2 was at my fingertips. I couldn't get it open fast enough.

The plot thickens and more and more of both Chloe and Blake's past is revealed along with at little mystery that starts to unfold. I flew through this volume in less than hour. IKR. but damn I was intrigued. They were both exploring so many tantilizing things and uncovering feelings neither of them wanted it was unreal. I honestly forgot there was another volume of course until again I was left hanging.


So I opened Volume 3 with the same vigor. Eyes just speed reading! You feel me. My heart pounding waiting to find out what happens.

Other parts of my anatomy were throbbing as well. Just Sayin... I swear I had it figured out again and then Elisabeth Grace threw a monkey wrench in there that had me like WTF!!! I know that Volume 4 will bring the answers I so desperately need!!! Thank God it's only 15 days away or I would've had drive to Canada and take up stalking. (<---did I say that out loud) *snickers* no seriously it's only like a 2 hour drive.
Just Sayin...

Volume 3 is sexier, funnier, more romantic and definitely more suspenseful. Max & Chloe are back and they are hotter than ever!! Their chemistry is insanely hot like a three alarm fire! I love this couple. Everything about them. They may come from different worlds but they treat each other like are equals. They compliment each other in every way. Mentally and physically.

Still doing the causal thing or are they??? They keep telling themselves this is just for the here and now... But subconsciously, I don't think they are not listening. They seem to be get closer despite what they say. Max is trying to keep his cool, but is failing miserably. Chloe knows that he's getting under her skin, but is fighting it all their way.

Of course, there are hurdles and obstacles in their way. Forces trying to keep them apart. But what fun would it be, if their relationship was just easy and just fell into place?? I love their angst. As we get deeper into their story, there are clues and hints of their past lives but still many unanswered questions. These books give you just a taste. A nice slow simmer...that flows perfectly. Once again at the end, you will be left begging for more..... very mean Elisabeth, we need more now!

Buy This Book September First You Will Love It!!

After Chloe finds what was left for her on the counter she storms to Max's hotel to confront him and end things, per her bosses direction. Well lets just say it didnt work out the way Chloe thought it would.With max's explanation and emotion lets just say the I wish I was Chloe (it was HOT).Elisabeth Grace added some suspense in to the mix when strange things start happening. The mystery that was added not only enhance the plot it also up the emotional ante of this already fiery story. Elisabeth has shown us every emotion to her readers. The anger, fear, passion, frustration, hunger and desire's jump at you from every page until you can’t help feel like you are a part of Max and Chloe’s world. This story continues to take unexpected turns as more and more things are revealed. Once again Elisabeth Grace has left me on the edge of my seat, desperately waiting for the conclusion of Max and Chloe’s story. I CAN NOT WAIT FOR VOLUME 4!!!

DAMN I want Volume Four NOW...

Yes… another HOT and STEAMY volume of Max and Chloe’s story. I love how Elisabeth has mastered the art of building up each of these novella size stories, to where it feels like a full novel and leaves you wanting more.

This volume of their story was sexy, funny, suspenseful, and very sweet in parts as well. Plus, it needs to be said—finding out the definition of Jaaneman so clever and SEXY.


“…that was like a religious experience or some shit.”

There are so many loose ends that I am dying to see how they are worked out, so I can’t wait for the final volume (I may have even taken to begging Elisabeth) to see how this whole story comes together.

I love the directions this book took! There’s lots of mystery as someone continually harasses Chloe. It’s gets very worrisome.

Chloe & Max are growing closer & closer to each other. They’re trying not to think about Max leaving in a few months and this “thing” no longer existing between them.

“The thought of how much I was growing to need her was unsettling, but letting her go seemed to be a scarier prospect at the moment.”

The twist at the end had my heartbreaking as well as wanting to strangle a few people. I can’t wait for the final installment.

“I realized that the goodness inside her, the light she exuded, was like my own personal beacon, my own lighthouse, leading me to where I belonged-to her.”

KILLING ME NOW!
How can someone so lovely like Elisabeth Grace keep us in is such suspense! Vol 3 has brought a fighting battle between a couple that so want to be together, however everything and everyone around them, have the power to destroy what they have denied they have already. The continuation of their story finds new leaps and bounds that they may need to conquer separately. However, at times, they need that one person next to them to hold their hand.

Vol 4 will certainly and hopefully bring me the final part to that story im waiting ever so patiently for. The wait i guess is acceptable considering the wait is only small. Fabulous third additional to the Indiscretion Series.

3.5 stars. While Chloe and Max's relationship gets complicated because of work, their dynamic together strengthens. However, Chloe's personal life is threatened and creates worry. There's some interesting new developments in this volume that move the story along. I'm sure there's a good explanation for that ending, but will have to wait for the full scoop in the next book.

The Indiscretion Series was my introduction to Elisabeth Grace's books and as a whole I enjoyed it. I was lucky to have all four volumes on hand, so I didn't have to wait between each release. Honestly, I'm not sure I would have continued on if I hadn't had all the books in the series. I did read the first two right away and made the decision to see it through and in the end, I'm glad that I did. Volume Three was my favorite in the series, but each one held a piece of the puzzle that kept me interested.

What worked for me:
~The chemistry between Max and Chloe was great. They were sexy and fun. I also just enjoyed their easy banter. It was clear to me from the beginning that this couple had the potential to be something really good.
~I liked seeing them fall in love despite having certain challenges in their way. They're both in real estate development and essentially became rivals. I liked that there was a background story about why their "bosses" were at odds with each other. It was more than just a business transaction, it was personal.
~The sex was pretty great. I read a lot of erotic romance and some authors have what it takes to make me melt and others...just write sex. Grace can write some really great sex. There were quite a few times that I felt a bit flushed. That said, I would venture that she could even push her limits a bit further. Especially since this was an erotic series. But still, I was pleased.

What didn't work for me: (may contain slight spoilers)
~I was really digging the suspense aspect of the story and as it played out, I was really disappointed. It was wrapped up quickly and easily. I was left feeling like "Why even add that into the story?"
~In Volume Four, Max is dealt a pretty rough hand. Now, I liked it, but I was also taken by surprise with the direction the series went in. I was happy with the result of this "issue", but I would have liked to have seen more regarding Max's surprising news.
~The last thing I wanted to mention was that I didn't really feel like Max's history about his brother needed to be added into the story. I understood that there needed to be a reason for the discord in his family, but again...it seemed abrupt.
~I think with all these issues combined, you may see a pattern. Overall, I felt that there were parts of the story that were a bit all over the place. I would have been happy with the work conflict and expanding Max's critical issue at the end. Those two issues would have presented enough conflict for me as a reader to keep my interest.

Overall, I did enjoy it as a whole. Volume Three was my favorite. It had the best flow and I loved the character development. It was also the sexiest volume, in my opinion. Am I glad I read it? Yes, I am. I really am glad that I stuck with it. I enjoyed the characters and I was in need of a sexy, so this certainly fit the bill! If you are a fan of serials and are in need of a sexy...check this one out!

Favorite Quote:
~"Every time I look at you, it's like the first time I saw you, and I thank my lucky stars all the time that we met. I can't imagine being apart from you again. I want you beside me every day-forever. Hell, forever won't be long enough."

MICHELLE'S REVIEW


EGrace- you have got to be kidding me!!! That's where you ended this installment???? I am dying. DYING. Need more. Now.
Seriously- I read that last page and was like...

We are in part 3 of this 4 part serial and honestly- this was the worst cliffhanger. I think they have gotten progressively worse.


I'm kind of amazed at how much EGrace can pack into a novella. So in this installment, Chloe is super pissed at Max and she stands her ground really well. But he explains himself and it seems honest. I mean I believed him. And then she's all like



And there's more hot sex and it's amazing. But they have to lay low because of some shit that went down in book 2. I won't go into it in case you haven't read book 2 yet but it's kinda sexy that they are all meeting in secret and what not.


Things are going really well. I'm really loving them as a couple and it's clear that they are both super into each other for more than just sex. It's great. And Max is so super sweet. He does something towards the end that makes you swoon hard. But then the end actually comes and you are crushed.



I am impatiently waiting for part 4. I can't stand the suspense and Elisabeth better be glad I have other books to distract me or I would be up her ass asking for her notes for the next book.


If you haven't started this serial, I highly suggest it!

4-1/2 Stars. This is my favorite book in the series so far. Everything is amped up from the desire, to the emotions, and especially the stakes. While Max and Chloe still each insist their relationship is purely physical and will be over with last waning days of summer, neither can deny, to themselves anyway, their feelings are evolving. When it appears that someone is stalking Chloe, Max’s protectiveness kicks in. His actions are not those of a guy who’s only looking to get a piece of ass.

The added suspense is a nice change up from just crazy hot sex. And like any relationship, as a reader, I’m ready to move beyond the bedroom and explore the rest of the word. Elisabeth Grace seems to know that and adds a little kick at just the right place. I’m a little frustrated by the cliffhanger, but after reading the first two books, I knew it was coming. Because the wait between the books is so short, I’m not letting that impact my rating. A little anticipation is a good thing.

Plot
The plot really develops in this volume, building on the seeds planted in the first two. The added subplot of the potential stalking amps things up. And while I think I know who it is, the fact that I might not, keeps me questioning everyone’s motives. The sneaking around and clandestine sex is just pure fun, knowing at any moment they could be caught. At this point, the reader knows these two belong together, but we’re still missing a couple of pieces of the puzzle — the big secrets that prevents each of them to committing. Everything in this volume leads to the big charity event and a surprise guest that turns Chloe’s world upside down.

Characters
I like Max and Chloe by now. They’ve grown on me, despite their many flaws. And I love that Chloe’s best friend, Jackie, is back in the picture. I missed her. Both characters still have a lot of issues to work through, so Volume 4 has its work cut out for it, but as the longest book in the series, there’s plenty of room for that.

Bottom Line
My favorite book in the series so far with lots more conflict, action, and even more clues thrown in to keep us on the edge of our seats.

Indiscretion Volume 3 by Elisabeth Grace has gone beyond readers expectations. Elisabeth Grace intensified the plot, added a new twist that has readers mystified, added new characters, and taken Max and Chloe’s fragile relationship to a whole new level.

Indiscretion Volume 3 picks right up where Volume 2 has left off. Chloe is confronting Max about his business agenda and how it affects her. Max’s explanation is more than satisfying, it is downright erotic and emotional. It still appears that he has a secret agenda and is hiding a multitude of secrets from Chloe.

Their relationship will continue on the out of control rollercoaster ride until both are willing to let go of their pasts, misconceptions, secrets, and give into their true emotional feelings. They now not only have to battle each other but also an enemy that could destroy them both. They can confront this enemy together with a united front or they can do it solo and lose the one thing they both need more than anything, each other.

No matter how hard they try to deny their feelings , their erotic chemistry is the glue that keeps them together. Although we know it is much more than their sexual needs being satisfied. What starts out as a not strings attached summer relationship is turning into much more.

In this installment to the series we get a better understanding of the characters, their motivations, and personalities. Although Max still remains somewhat mysterious. I think we are going to be surprised when his persona is cracked open and exposed to the readers.

This volume was sizzling hot. It ended on a cliffhanger that had my heart racing and my loyalties to Max in question.

September 15, 2014 cannot get here fast enough. I need to know what is going to happen in the finale volume, Indiscretion Volume 4. I have no doubt Elisabeth Grace is going to give the readers a grand finale that will have fireworks.

Chloe confronts Max about the newspaper article. He explains that he gave that interview months ago, before he even knew Chloe and forgot all about it. He knows what is in the article is not true. Chloe forgives him but explains that she needs to stop their relationship or risk losing her job because of Mr. Cullen's demand. Max convinces Chloe otherwise but they will keep their relationship secret.

Max is not happy that someone came into Chloe's house to leave the newspaper. She agrees to contact her best friend's husband, Jamie, who is a police officer. Jamie seems to think that the person didn't want to harm Chloe, just wanted to make sure she saw the article. Gabe shows up just as Jackie and Jamie does and wants to help. Chloe is confused as to why Gabe is there, but let's it go.

I loved Max and Chloe's weekend getaway, especially the car ride! ;) They had a sweet and romantic trip until they get back to find 3 of Chloe's car tires have had the air let out. Now Max is really worried.

It is now the night of the Charity Gala. Max and Chloe manage to sneak away for a few minutes alone before the event starts...in a broom closet of all places! Max arranges for a special guest to be there as a surprise for Chloe and she is thrilled.

At one point Mrs. Cullen tells Chloe the reason behind the feud between her husband and Max's dad, Winston Richfield. This helps Chloe understand things better.

Just as Max sees his dad, he sees the young woman on his arm and stiffens. Suddenly, Max leads this woman out of the gala by the elbow.

Chloe performs her song on stage at the gala. As she gets off she is given a note. It's from Max telling her to meet him outside by the pool. She thinks he wants to sneak more time with her but when she shows up he is still with this other woman! And she is not happy with what she sees! In fact, she is pissed.

Ugh....such cliffhanger endings! I think Elisabeth Grace just enjoys torturing her readers. I am really loving this story and can't wait for the last part!

2.5 stars

I enjoyed the first two volumes of this series well enough, but Indiscretion:Volume 3 just added drama for no good reason. This section starts off right where the last ended, with what Chloe sees in the newspaper. Yeah it was not very good, but it is easily fixed. The more pressing issue is that Chloe's boss seems to be able to dictate who she can and cannot see outside of working hours. I don't like that, I wish Chloe could stand up to him for herself. He really shouldn't be able to fire her for having a relationship with Max just because he and Max's father have issues.

So this chapter didn't feel like it really added much to the story. Chloe and Max have to sneak around to be together so she doesn't lose her job, they have hot sex, someone is doing strange things that scare Chloe (another incident besides the breaking into her house from the end of the last section) and that is about it. Really most of the book is them sneaking around and having hot sex. Not much development between them, or development I believed. They had a few moments, but I honestly don't see the two of them falling in love like the author wants us to believe. Or I didn't see the relationship really progressing from the last section. Oh there was some drama at the end so this can end in a bit of a cliffhanger as well, but it was just not that believable. I mean it is obvious what happened. Why Chloe would believe anything else especially when she witnessed everything else prior to it? Why wouldn't she stay and see what happens or fight or anything is beyond me. I just didn't get it. It felt like drama just for the sake of drama which I do not like. I hope it doesn't drag out too long in the next section as well...it would be annoying if it did. Hopefully it is quickly cleared up, but come on Chloe. If you believe this for a second you are a fool. We shall see. So not the best section, but hopefully it will end on a high note.

~~ 5 Stars ~~

WOW!!!! What an ending. These cliffhangers are going to be the death of me yet. This one tore out my heart :(

As we get each installment….I have to say that they are getting better and better as the story unfolds. This installment revolved more around getting to know Max and Chloe more. We got to see their relationship grow, even though they are both fighting their true feelings. Like I said this is a bumpy road for these two. I thought the character development was great in this one, we got to see more of their insides and what they are thinking and feeling. We learned more about Chloe, but we still don't know a whole lot about Max. More hints are dropped about his past and I can't wait to find out what really happened.

This book still had the shadow of mystery to it. More things are starting to happen, but we get no answers. We are definitely left with a ton of questions in this book….The ending being the biggest one of all.

I have to say that I think the chemistry between Max and Chloe is off the charts…each installment seems to get HOTTER and HOTTER as they go along. I can't wait to see what the final chapter of this series brings. I am just praying we get all of our questions answered and Chloe and Max get their HEA.

“Is that supposed to make me feel better? You’re probably lying anyway. Obviously, you’re good at it.”

OMG! Every part of this sexy serial leaves me dying for more. Chloe and Max have me so wrapped up in their story that I am desperate to get the fourth installment! Now for me personally that is a sign of a five star read. If I would be willing to drop what I am currently reading in order to get more of them that that is a WIN! Elisabeth Grace’s writing sucks me in and I get completely lost in it. I am currently in a serial frenzy and loving this popular format. This story picks up with Chloe’s boss threatening her if she does not stop seeing the competition, Max, in a personal capacity!

“I wasn’t God, but she’d be seeing the light in about thirty seconds.”

Max and Chloe have some amazing sexual chemistry and every encounter with them feels fresh and fun. I absolutely loved the whole sneaking around aspect when they find that they just cannot stay away from each other even when they know they need to. The hard part of this is watching all the miss-communication and denial of feelings but I have a hunch that all of that will come into play in a dynamic fourth book! Drama seems to follow Max and Chloe around and if there is one thing I am a sucker for it is angst and drama with a bit of wit thrown in for good measure!

“Not that I was complaining – I’d take an orgasm courtesy of Max any day.”

If you have read the first two volumes in this serial than you know that this is going to be good and if you haven’t stop reading this review of the third book and start reading the actual first volume! You won’t be let down. Before this series I knew Elisabeth Grace as primarily a New Adult Writer but she is quickly proving to me that she can seamlessly jump genres and write a compelling erotica story that is on par with some best sellers!

This series keeps getting better with each installment. As does the character’s chemistry. The smooth progression of the character’s development makes it so easy to get sucked into this story. They each share more of themselves in this book which allows for a better understanding of their personal lives. Max gives Chloe a bit more info about himself, but there’s still so much we don’t know. There's certainly a huge question mark over him.
“The thought of how much I was growing to need her was unsettling, but letting her go seemed to be a scarier prospect at the moment.”

It’s hard to see these two get closer, because there's a constant cloud hanging over them. As amazing as the chemistry is, and as much as they both want this relationship, its end is inevitable. It’s obvious both of their feelings are intensifying, but still they fight it. Chloe is just barely admitting to herself just how much she cares for Max.
The romance in this story is crazy hot, but I like the underlying hint of mystery with the unidentified person that continues to harass Chloe. We still don’t know who this person is, and while they haven’t done anything to harm her, there’s always a chance it can turn into more. That potential threat is keeping me on my toes!
“I realized that the goodness inside her, the light she exuded, was like my own personal beacon, my own lighthouse, leading me to where I belonged-to her.”

This one has to be my favorite of the series, but oy vey! This was not a nice cliffhanger at all. I was left wanting to punch Max 100 times over. I can say that I’m eager to get my hands on the last book, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing things play out in the final book. :)

Another excellent book from the author! Things with Max and Chloe are heating up and I'm so excited to see what the future holds for Chloe and her Max!

After the events that occurred in the last book, Chloe and Max have both come to the realization that their 'strings only' relationship is no longer working.

When Chloe confronts Max about the event that happened in the last book, Max sees that his words have the power to hurt the one person who has come to mean the world to him. He realizes that he's trying to be someone he wasn't and Chloe is the key to helping him find the man he wants to be. Because, admit it or not, Max is starting to fall for Chloe, but how can it work when he's leaving in a couple of months?

When something stands in Max's way of being with the person he loves most, will he have the courage and bravery to make sure she never gets hurt? Even if that means risking his own happiness and heart?

Now this book...it was explosive. You got the passion, the romance, the anger, and the bubbling question that is going through all our minds. What's going to happen next? Will Max and Chloe be together? What does this mean from them in the future? All I got to say is this book was amazing! Outstanding! It's my favorite out of the books so far because of all the emotions running wild.

And that ending? I can't even form words. I need the next book soon because I'm freaking out! Another amazing book from the author and I can't wait to read the last book, the conclusion to Chloe's and Max's story! This is going to be good from what I can tell from this book!

I recommend this book to everyone!

Si me frustran un poco las novelas repartidas en tres partes más aún lo hace esta que hasta que no llegue al final no me di cuenta de que tiene un cuarto volumen.

En este caso, la historia mejora un poquito, pero muy poquito y termina con el momento más utilizado en la historia de los motivos por los que una pareja se separa en este tipo de historias que aunque ya me lo sé, es decir, preveo lo que pasará, leeré el último volumen porque aunque dije que estoy preparando exámenes no estoy tan tan metida en la preparación como debería jeje.

Indiscretion: Volume Three, much like the previous two, starts out with a bang.



Saudade (Portuguese):

(n) a nostalgic longing to be near again to something or someone that is distant, or that has been loved and then lost



This one is my absolute favorite in the series. Completely. It appealed to my inner romantic whilst also completely satisfying my outer dirty talker.

Max and Chloe were, for real, battling the attraction that went deeper than just sex that they seemed to have for one another. It was precious, considering these two just HAVE to end up together and they HAVE to be good at the coming together.

Yes, I’m making threatening eyes at you, Miss Grace.

Also, there’s a bit of a drama here, considering there was a break and enter and an almost tire slashing incident with Chloe. But you know what the best part about these incidents was? The fact that Max was terrified for her safety while also struggling to distance himself from her and also imagining how it would be if they were together and then realizing that she deserves better…yeah. That’s the part I loved. And that’s the part I think you’ll enjoy too :D

Deep breaths, Rhea. Deep breaths.

I really liked this 3rd part, it was my favorite so far. It starts right where book 2 ended, I was wondering what he was going to say about the article, I was happy to hear his explanation but I also thought it was terrible that he didn't call the paper and retract the article when he saw it was her running the other project, but I also understood that he had forgotten all about the interview. I liked that we learned more about Max in this book, the dynamic between him and his father. I still think I know who is doing these things to her, leaving the article, her tires, the fake note, I am anxious to see if I am right in the last book. I loved that we got to read about them spending some real time together out in the public, doing things, not just having sex, the amount of sex in this book was way less which was better since there was far more storyline. You can tell when their feelings for each other had changed, and keeps growing even if they are not ready to admit it. I thought it was so cute then hiding away in the closet to spend time together before the gala, just like teenagers. We finally learn why Mr. Cullen and Mr. Richfield hate each other, quite childish for this to go on this long though but still glad to know the why. Then the night took quite the turn, first a wonderful surprise from Max for Chloe but then an unexpected and unwanted visitor, a terrible misunderstanding, and a broken heart. Ugh quite the cliffhanger, can't wait to read the last book.

This is volume 3 of a four volume set. The entire set is in one box set so if you are like me, buy the box set and not the books individually. Volume 1 showed us their introduction, one of the hottest scenes I've read in a while. Volume 2 showed us their developing friendship. Now there is volume 3. This volume brings us intrigue: Who is causing all of these mysterious things to happen to Chloe? There's the chemistry: seriously could Max be any better at sex talk? He likes to give instructions, and she likes to take them, and that is just hot, hot, hot! There's the challenges: Max's accident (is it related to Chloe's intrigue?), and then there is the cliff hanger. Max, how could you do this to us?! There have been enough disclosures that I had serious reservations about Max. I did not like how he handled things with Sarah. I did not like the newspaper article. I felt his explanations to be too dismissive, and he cajoled Chloe back into his arms too easily. Then, there is the big reveal of Max's secret. You understood his pain, he felt it too, and you can understand his need to obtain his father's approval. But the end...the end was all Max. Taking the decisions away from Chloe, leaving her in the dark, and the hurtful words you just can't take back...I need to read Volume 4 stat!

Volume 2 left us with a bit of a cliffhanger… but we didn’t have to wait long for it to be resolved as Chloe marched straight over to Max’s place and demanded answers. As badly as Chloe needed to end her relationship with Max to save her career, their pull towards each other was just too strong. Max and Chloe were both beginning to realize something neither would admit to the other. This relationship had gone way beyond convenient sex; true, deep feelings were involved. Regardless of the risk, Chloe can’t stay away from Max and they continue to see each other in secret… adding to the already risky nature of their relationship. Volume 3 gave us Max and Chloe: The Couple. Secret getaways where they could hold hands and stroll the streets was exactly what their relationship needed. But all that goodness doesn’t erase the situation standing in front of Chloe and Max. Someone is stalking Chloe. They are finding it more and more difficult to keep their relationship secret. Max’s father is clearly up to something and none of it can be good, but when he shows up at Chloe’s gala with someone from Max’s past, Chloe has had enough. She is no longer falling for Max’s charms… she is ending this relationship once and for all. That is where we are left… I CANNOT wait for Volume 4 and the conclusion to Max and Chloe. I know Elisabeth Grace is going to bring us one heck of an ending!

I'm really enjoying these instalments from Elisabeth Grace, for Indiscretion.
Volume 3 seemed to take a different twist from the other 2. It's getting far more tense and there is an air of mystery about everything.
The relationship between Max and Chloe seems to be up and down all the time. They aren't allowed to be together because of being enemies through the business side of things. Although when they do get together it is seriously hot.
Yet now we have the added issue of the mysterious person causing extra problems. Strange things are happening to Chloe, somebody is trying to tell her something and scare her at the same time. I have no clue who and it's actually quite eerie.
So again we have another huge cliffhanger at the end, which is awesome as there isn't long to wait until the next volume comes out and it's usually quite a big cliffhanger. This one again paints Max in a very bad light and I'll be interested to know what he has been up to. It's obvious he is keeping secrets and I'm wondering what they, and are hey connected to the mysterious brunette.
Again, I enjoyed the story. It was short and sweet and very entertaining.

With each volume I read, this story just gets better and better! Volume three challenges Max and Chloe to face reality and figure out what is going on between them. The character development in this volume is perfection. I felt like I got to know the real Max and Chloe during this part of their story. Turns out they’re both more complicated than I expected and my connection to them has only deepened over the course of this series. Just when I think things can’t get any hotter between these two, Elisabeth douses them in gasoline. She also throws some suspense in to the mix when strange things start happening. The added mystery component only served to enhance the plot and up the emotional ante of this already fiery story. Elisabeth expertly serves up every emotion to her readers. The anger, fear, passion, frustration, hunger and unmatched desire radiate from every page until you can’t help but feel like a part of Max and Chloe’s world. This story continues to take unexpected turns as more and more layers are revealed. Once again Elisabeth Grace has left me on the edge of my seat, desperately waiting for the conclusion of Max and Chloe’s story.

From lust to love.
From truth to confusion.
From happiness to betrayal.

Volume 3 has it all!

This series is amazing! Elisabeth Grace continues to blow our minds with these characters!!

Another outstanding volume from the Indiscretion Series!!

I don’t have a single bad thing to say.. I am astounded by the awesomeness of this series!

It is without a doubt one of the best series I have ever read in my life!

The story continues to grow side by side with our characters. They face new challenges. Challenges involving not only their environment but themselves, too. We watch emotions intensify, lust quickly transforming into something more, into love and need to protect, to have, to cherish. We watch our characters to try to figure out what they are feeling, to rediscover themselves through their connection.

Volume 3 is a magnificent sight to have, a wonderful journey to enjoy.

Volume 3 is just as amazing and one of a kind as Volumes 1 and 2 are.

So, yes 5 Huge Golden Sparkling Stars go to Indiscretion Volume 3!!

Cheers to Elisabeth for her outstanding writing and mind!

Indiscretion: Volume Three by Elisabeth Grace is the third installment in her Indiscretion serial.

Now that Chloe has been adamantly instructed by her boss to have absolutely NOTHING to do with Max, the son of his enemy, she's not quite sure what to do. She still wants Max but she needs the job and the commissions to buy into the brokerage just as she has had planned. She can't do that if she loses her job. So her and max decide to do things on the down-low. Her boss has to accept the fact the Max is going to MC the charity event as it's already been planned, and it's at this next event that the drama builds yet again. A mysterious note sends Chloe looking for Max but you'll have to read the book to discover what she finds. Whoever left the note, is it the same person that left the paper in her house and let the air out of her tires, or is there more than one person causing trouble in Chloe's life?
