The Billionaire's Temptation #3
Love and Surrender
From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author, Cali MacKay...
Zoe hates that she’s been pushing away her best friend, Morgan, especially when she knows he could be the love of her life. But she’s got a secret—a big one—and she knows that if Morgan ever finds out what she’s been keeping from him, she’ll lose not only his love but his friendship.
There’s only ever been one woman for Morgan, and that’s Zoe. Except that she’s been distancing herself for the last four years and he doesn’t have the faintest idea why.
When Zoe spots a man who’s the spitting image of Morgan’s long-lost father, Morgan asks her to look into it further, not realizing he’s put her life at risk. Yet with Morgan determined to keep Zoe safe and make her realize they’re meant to be together, can Zoe keep her secret or will she finally confess it all and ruin everything that’s between them?
*** This novel contains a Happily Ever After ending. Due to the adult language and explicit sex scenes, this book is for adults only.***

So glad that I stuck it out with this series...this book was greeeeat! The H was a good guy who was trying to make up for past mistakes and the h was likeable. Onto Maddie's story...

Cali Mackay goes from strength to strength with this series....This third book in the series... it involves Morgan and Zoe.. they have been friends since they were small children... Morgan loves her but she keeps pushing him away... especially over the past 4 years after their one night together making love... he cannot understand why... Zoe knows if she gets close to Morgan he will find out her terrible secret and he will leave her.. she cannot stand the thought of that even if all she has is his friendship... I always thought Morgan was the quietest of the brothers in the other books he never said much... oh Boy does he become something else in this book !!!!! the chemistry and the sexual tension from these two is through the roof.... there is danger from Zoe's ex...the Father they thought was dead ... mobsters...and of course the secret Zoe is keeping...another page turner that could not be put down.. and the ending has a cliff hanger.. will the secret break them apart.. or the danger from her ex or the mobsters.. you need to download this book to know the if they get their HEA ... I am desperate for the next book in the series.. Cali Mackay YOU ROCK

Too drawn out..........!
This could be such an excellent series but the writer gets lost in her plot. Again the ending is abrupt and of course there is method in her madness she wants us to keep purchasing books.
No more I enjoy steamy novels but this one had me skipping pages, the angst was like pulling taffy enough is enough. The bones of the story is really good and I just wish she would have found her way. 2.5 Stars from me but read it for yourself and make up your own mind!

Loved it
Morgan and Zoe were destined to be together. Time or tragedy couldn't keep them apart. The storyline was great as well as the characters. They were all uniquely written. This one left us in I nd of a cliffhanger with Lexie. I noticed on the after verbiage that there is an update in the 4th book. Ughh

What a heart wrenching, gut knotting,ride!
The story of the Ryker family continues with the tale of Morgan and Zoe. Lifelong friends who have been in love most of their lives but both afraid to ruin a friendship by taking it farther. When Zoe needs to leave a bad relationship, Morgan is there. But Zoe has a secret and it might ruin everything, especially once they finally declare their love and things heat up. The sex is explosive and Zoe knows that she must tell him her darkest secret. But just as Zoe feared, that secret, when she finally tells Morgan, guts them both. Can they come back from that? And then there is the Father the Rykers have believed dead for 15 years. But he's not. What else can go wrong? How about a kidnapping & FBI involvement? This is by far the craziest of the series and it is a must read! I loved all the Ryker brother's but Morgan has a special place in my heart. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

The Ryker men are all swoon worthy but the love that Morgan has had all these years for Zoe is something so sweet. The emotions that encompass this story will have you chewing off your fingernails. The secret that keeps gnawing at Zoe had me reading faster and faster to see it resolved. But she's killing me with a darn cliffhanger. We didn't get full closure on their story but I hear that will be resolved pretty quick. I love several of Morgan's pleas to Zoe to give them a chance but on of my absolute favorites is Zoe, please....you're my everything....you're the reason I breathe, the reason my heart beats. I just totally melted when he's declaring his love. Can't wait for more!! Maddie's story coming in November. I sure hope this cliffhanger is resolved. I'm ready to toss my kindle at Cali!!

Cali does it again
Love this series. I couldn't give it five stars because honestly Zoe got on my nerves quite a bit with her selfishness. I think that Morgan and Zoe make a great couple and compliment each other well. I just couldn't get over the fact that having having held on to that secret for so long that Zoe would hold Morgan to blame at all for what happened to her. Had she been honest from the beginning all the nonsense could have been avoided. He was shocked to learn the love of his life could make such a decision with out so much as a phone call to let him know the life altering decision she was making. I just think it was wrong on so many levels. I'm glad that he was able to look past it though because buy was it a big pull to swallow. Can't wait to see what happens with Lexie.

The Billionaire’s Temptation series is a wonderful series with Sexy Alpha males and the ladies that "wow" them. The Ryker brothers are fantasies come to life in the pages in a book or the screen of a Kindle. :)
Love and Surrender, book three. the latest in this thrilling series involves Zoe and Morgan. A love that spans over years. Missing father, abusive ex, dangerous mobsters, deep, dark secrets. Is it possible for Zoe and Morgan’s love to survive all the obstacles and a past that haunts Zoe? Will she wake from the nightmares and live her dream? This book is a page turner, this is another wonderful romance by the extremely talented Cali Mackay. Maddie’s story is next! Fabulous!

the best ending:
“Mom…” Quinn took charge of the situation, though he didn’t look any more comfortable broaching the subject than the rest of them. “It’s about Dad. I don’t know how to tell you this, but… Dad…he’s not dead.”
Anger flamed in her blue eyes as she shook her head, her words forced through clenched teeth.
“That bastard. I told him to stay away and never come back. Dragging our family into danger... Where is he? Because by the time I’m done with him, he’ll wish he’d have stayed dead.”

This is the third book in the Billionaire series. This one focus on Morgan Ryker and his long time love Zoe. Morgan has loved Zoe since fourth grade. He always knew they were meant for each other. Zoe and Morgan were best friends even though they had not been in touch in the last four years. Certain things happen which cause Zoe to call Morgan and he comes to get her to keep her safe. They realize they should be together but secrets could tear them apart. This book does contain profanity and sex scenes so this is not for all. good read

This series is so frustrating but SO fabulous!!!
Every book in this series ends with such a cliff hanger that you drop every thing you are doing to get the next book because you HAVE to know how it ends or continues!!
Out of all the brothers, I am so Team Morgan and Zoe!!
I am off to read about Maggie's story, next in the series.
To Cali MacKay: Thank you for the great writing. Your books are such a pleasure to read!

Book # 3 was a vast improvement over the first two. This selection contained more story than sex scenes and profanity. There were actual sections of conflict, suspense and secrets which held my interest. Morgan and Zoe are likeable characters but have quite a bit to overcome in their quest to have a future together.

This is an exciting story about the Ryker brothers. The sex just as hot, the suspense just as interesting, the emotions of Morgan and Zoe just as tend err and very real. Ms MacKay has a real talent for making her characters co to life. Her books are a real joy to read. Ready to read Maddie's story.

Love this series! Morgan and Zoe have a sweet past. Finally after all these years they are finally sharing how much they love each other! I am looking forward to their Novella, and how their story will end! They were steamy and HOT!

Morgan and Zoe finally get together. Her secret tears them apart. You will need a box of tissues to get through this story. Very well written story of very difficult decisions and the consequences. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed the first two books of this series, and I like the characters in this story, but the storyline itself just wasn't believable for me. I do plan to finish the series, however.

This book is a little sad but still good.
A story will lots of drama. It let's you have a glimpse of the family's past. How tough it was when the father left there mother alone with four young children and the struggle that shaped their future. Zoe is the little girl who grew up with them in the neighborhood and Morgan has loved her since then. Now Morgan finds her in trouble and wants to declare his love for her. A very good story with lots of interesting side stories.
