This is the third book in this trilogy and what a wild and wonderful ride it was. This conclusion was a rollercoaster of emotions, twists, betrayals, secrets and suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what is going on. Lucien finds a way to get Tamsyn back in the house, but she has no intension of forgiving him, even if that's what her heart wants. Lucien is going through so much trying to clear his name and figure out what really happened, but his main goal is to get Tamsyn back the light in his darkness. Bring the groveling and romance as Lucien tries everything to get her to talk to him and to let him back in. This book was well written, and the characters have an intense chemistry they are true soulmates you can't help but want them to end up together while all the drama wants to tear them apart. I loved this series its one that once you pick it up you won't be able to put is down. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.

Expect sizzling chemistry, intense twists, and a journey of redemption in Final Cost by Ava Ryan. This heart-pounding romance will pull you in with its suspense and emotional depth, making you question how far you’d go for love and forgiveness. You’ll feel every moment as the characters battle their pasts for a chance at a future together.

The FMC (Tamsyn) is a woman just beginning her adult life, trying to carve her own path. She takes a summer job that changes everything after a single encounter.

The MMC (Lucien) is a successful businessman with wealth and status, but he's haunted by a tragic past and emotional baggage.

When Tamsyn and Lucien meet by chance at the airport, their lives are forever altered. Their journey will be filled with ups and downs, unexpected revelations, and secrets that only bring more problems than solutions. But sometimes, true love has a way of making everything right.

Do I recommend? Yes!

Loved this story - really easy to read and I was hooked from the beginning. My spidey senses worked out who the baddie was but it was still really enjoyable. I haven't read any of Ava's work prior to this series & I absolutely can get on board reading more. I will definitely be reading more. This story was a great mix of romance and drama with a little suspense and I would highly recommend the series.
