She's a stripper. He's a preacher. Her name is Faith, and he's been faithless since the day she went away.
One knock against the door sends Noah and Faith spiraling down a dangerous path when their pasts come back to haunt them. Meanwhile, a dangerous, winter storm rolls into town. On the run, and forced to seek shelter inside their childhood home, they are forced to face their demons and atone for their sins. But they soon learn that they can’t hide forever and some secrets refuse to stay hidden.
Noah has one last chance at redemption and one last chance at revenge. What happens next will not only define him, it will be his salvation or it will be his damnation. Faith has a chance to find the absolution she craves, but the icy road ahead is paved with traps along the way.
Their love is undeniable, but is it enough? When the lights go out and all that’s left is the darkness, where will Faith and Noah find themselves? And can they live with who they’ve become?
I grew up on a farm in Ohio, but that's not very interesting, is it? When I'm not writing you can find me doing one of two things; getting lost on highways or getting lost in the lives of fictional characters. If my heart had two feet, one foot would be in romance and the other solidly in geekdom. I hope you'll all follow me on my journey through this carnival they call life.I promise there will be a happy ending.
*********************************************************************************** My Thoughts:
Well, here we are. In just one short month, KB Nelson has delivered to us a completed serial full of romance, angst, and tension so thick you need a knife to get through it. Now that it's over what can we say? Well. It's over. That much is for sure. I really wasn't sure what to expect from this final part of Faithless. Any fan of KB Nelson will straight up tell you to always expect the unexpected. Even I wasn't expecting how this one would end.
I actually really liked the way that Faithless ends. Although I will say with honesty that the finale actually creates more questions than it could ever hope to answer. It left me with this hollow pit in my stomach. Was it sadness? Happiness? I'm not entirely sure. I know this review isn't really answering any questions, but I will just openly tell you that this serial isn't one that words will ever do a great job of explaining. You have to read it to get the full effect.
It's pretty well known at this point that I do not really care for romance novels generally. Faithless has proven to be one of those exceptions because of just how unique it is. There isn't any 'love at first sight', there's no 'unreal' aspect to the story. But how believable is it? In my opinion it is and it isn't, but that isn't up for debate here. Everything that happens in this story will speak differently to each reader.
As with any book I read, there are things that worked, and things that didn't with this story. This was the first serial I have read and I think there is serious potential in the future of serials. I do have to say, I would much prefer a full novel though. In a serial you really just do not get the character development that I like to see in the novels that I read. That being said, there is so much I would have liked to learn about Faith and Luke/Noah in this series that I just didn't seen. I know there is only so much you can get out of a three part serial, but I was constantly left wanting more.
In the end, I was really glad to see Faithless have a much deserved, completed story line. Our story really comes full circle and leaves you with the knowledge that all of our actions have consequences. Not only on our lives, but also on the lives of those who surround us. That being said, I am granting Faithless (Part 3) a well deserved 4-star review! While I thoroughly enjoyed this series, I know it will not be for everyone. Take not that this novel has strong language, and extremely adult situations. I'm sure that if you are a fan of dark romances, this is the read for you!
In the last installment of Faithless (A Tainted Love Serial), the action is intense from the very first page and the truly epic story of love between Noah and Faith continues in true K.B. Nelson fashion.
I really struggled with this review because there was so much to like in Part 3 and a few things that just didn't sit well for me. Even now as I try to write down my thoughts, I am trying to process everything that happened - especially the ending. As someone who is probably older than the average reader of this genre, my values and morals are a bit old-fashion, so a couple of the scenes (although tastefully executed) were a bit uncomfortable to read. Most people will not even bat an eyelash when they come across these scenes, it's just not my 'thing'. The other issue I had with the story was the ending. Although spectacular, it was somewhat confusing to me. I just felt like it switched gears abruptly and for lack of a better word, felt somewhat paranormal-ish to me. Don't get me wrong - it wasn't bad, just not what I expected.
The story of Noah and Faith was one that will definitely stay with me for some time. Noah and Faith truly had a 'one-of-a-kind' love that was at times very emotional, heartbreaking and insanely intense. Faithless will touch your heart, test your boundaries and most of all give you a reading experience like no other.
K.B. Nelson really takes the reader on a sexy, emotional journey that also is full of thrilling twists and turns that you will never see coming. This serial novel is definitely one that you will need to check out, if for nothing else, to see the talent that the author has - because let me tell you, this author is not afraid to break the rules. At all.

I received an ARC of this book for the author for a review.
Wow what an ending! I was so not expecting that. This series shocked me, surprised me, made me say wtf quite a few times and made me almost cry (I am not a cryer. If I was I would've been in an ugly cry during this one!).. I loved that I never knew what was going to happen. I hate predictable books. I hope these come out in a paperback version with allot them together. I'd love to order for the library where I work. Fantastic. I really will be looking for and reading more of Ms Nelson's books. I really enjoy her writing. I've already recommended this series to some friends.
This is the last part of the Faithless series and I honestly feel like this is the best one. It gets deeper into the love triangle between Noah, Luke, and Faith. That was one of my favorite parts of this series because they weren't competing with each other for one another's love. They all loved each other and seemed to make a threesome relationship work. The ending was definitely not something that I expected but I think that's what really made me like this series!
OMG!! I really don't know how to start this review. This book was absolutely amazing. It didn't go where I thought it would and that's what made this book amazing. The power of love is an amazing thing and this book will prove that. It's an emotional ride and will definitely pull at the heartstrings. Everyone needs to read this series. Well done K. B.

This has a spoiler please don't read if you haven't read it yet. Just know it's a must read.
I didn't anticipate the ending. I'm excited and sad all in the same breath. I wish life could of been different for both of them but I guess in the end their HEA was in the ever after. A must read!!!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
What an explosive ending! Not where I was expecting it to go at all. K.B. Nelson stays true to the story and characters even if it's not quite the HEA readers have grown to expect.
Faith's true dark side comes out to play and it's a delightful trip.
What can I say? This was the perfect ending to an amazing story! The writing was exactly what you look for in a great book. You will fall in love with the characters as much as I did. Anyone who loves great love stories....must read the Faithless Trilogy! You won't be disappointed.
That definitely read like a hot erotic murder thriller movie. The amount of grit in such a short story is incredible. We finally get a clear picture of what has been going on while Faith, Noah, and Luke have been apart and just how deep their connection was.
I was conflicted with the end of this series. It was emotional and had me guessing til the very end. It was hot and romantic and hot, but frightening and believable. It ended perfectly in my opinion. Not as I thought but perfect for the story.
I wasn't expecting the ending at all, which took my by surprise. Noah, Faith and Luke have a different dynamic then what you rad about most of the time. The ending left me questioning things between them a bit. I enjoyed the mystery of it all and learning more about their back story.
Not what I was expecting but that is what I enjoyed most about this series, it was entertaining. Kind of weird, kind of out of the box thinking but I dug it.
