A way back is the last book in the swept away series by Rosemary Willhide. the story picks right up where the last book left off.and continues the story of Derek and Nia. they struggle with trust while someone is still out there trying to kill Nia. they have there ups and downs but never ever stop loving each other. this book finely gives them the happy ever after they so deserve. (cannot wait for Derek's Christmas Carol ) I recommend this series highly!

Rosemary Willhide has done it once again. What away to end this Series. WOW Nia and Derek are one hot and silly couple. Rosemary Willhide brings you into the character from the very beginning. I felt every emotion whether they were happy, aroused or sad Rosemary ropes you in and keeps you captivated with what's to come next. This series will keep you coming back for more. I truly loved it.

Yea
After reading book 2 I was a little mad the emotions that I was feeling were all over the place, this book brought Nia and Derek back together and through a rollercoaster of emotions. It also brings closure to the Larry problem. Once you start this book you won't want to put it down. Love it and Enjoy.

Rosemary Willhide is an actress turned fitness instructor turned author of romantic suspense. She's told stories and entertained people her entire life. Writing is her favorite because she doesn't have to leave the house or put on pants! Plus, the voices in her head do what she says, for the most part! She lives in Las Vegas with her husband, Bill, and their adopted senior pooch, Brownie. She still teaches cycling classes. She claims they keep her sane-ish! If you pick up one of her books, you're in for a ride full of suspense, humor, and page-turning drama. Also, there will be a rescue dog for some extra tail-wagging fun.
“…you will forever be home.”
Nia and Derek have found their way back together, but the danger from the past isn’t behind them. As Derek gets more protective, Nia starts to feel like her world is shrinking. When someone shares Eden’s secret, the truth threatens to rip Derek and Nia apart forever.
There was more action in this book. I think this series primed Rosemary to be a thriller writer. She is fantastic at building tension and creating characters that could all be guilty.
I wish we had gotten a bit more from the wedding scene, but I did like the surprises that Nia got. The side characters in this series were fantastic, and again I say this series was the maiden voyage into Rosemary’s true direction of writing thrillers.
I still have issues with Derek and Nia’s relationship; they both act very young. Derek is supposed to be 33, but at times comes across as very young. Nia had moments where she seemed like a child, so that balance was awkward for me.
I enjoyed how the story flowed and that things wrapped nicely. Honestly, I’m relieved that I don’t have to read Derek calling Nia sweetie anymore… that term makes me cringe.
I would love to have some follow-up for the side characters; there were many side storylines throughout this series. Overall, it was a well-thought-out plot, and the action was bananas.
Reading this series after reading the Hope Ridge series made me appreciate just how far Rosemary has blossomed as a writer. I feel like she has found her space with thrillers. Her character development has become solid, and she has a gift for writing twists that will leave you stunned.

I just got off the roll a coaster. This book was wild, sexy, action packed and I was caught up in the story I felt like it was happening to me. The love between Derek and Nia is so strong. They had some very interesting ups and downs, but love will always win. Enjoy this wonderful sexy series.

Omg I read A Way Back (Swept Away Book 3) by Rosemary Willhide and it was great. It picks up where book two ends Nia is back in Vegas and upset because Derek is still in L.A. and isn’t fighting for them. All of a sudden Derek shows back up at home and he has a bunch of changes in his life that he has done to help Nia and him be together. Of course nothing is easy for Nia and Derek and there are people out to break them up and cause Nia harm. Of course Nia and Derek are smoking hot together and the chemistry is off the chart do they get their happily ever after or not. You need to read this book another 5 stars from Rosemary.

Nia and Derek's story continues in book 3 and final of the Swept Away Series. As with Rosemary's style, the story brings to life the love, joy, frustration and fear from all angles of their relationship into a climatic finish.
Toppled with sexy moments throughout that anyone would want for themselves.
As I read the last page, I felt such a loss knowing that Nia and Derek's story is at a close......hopefully not. Congratulations Rosemary I would recommend this series to everyone.

Who is your movie star love? I know you have one, and they absolutely would fall in love with a normal girl like you. Matt Damon and Matthew McConaughey did! Nia Kelly was just that girl. Smoking hot sex, lots and lots of panty melting sex, danger and heroics, and of course the adjustment to Hollywood fame and shame. This book is off the charts good and you better have your significant other or B.O.B handy cause your gonna need it.....often.

Great finale
This book had me laughing and crying. I really enjoy the banter between Nia and Derek. The downfalls of the book were there are a lot of editing issues and for Nia being so strong, she seems to make a lot of bad decisions. Even so, I would definitely recommend this trilogy.
