Possessed: Part Three

Rate this book
My boss, the billionaire bad boy Leo King, not only tricked me into being his fake-wife, but the dirty secret he's been keeping from me is now also exposed.

I can't believe I fell for his lies, and worse, I still want him. He says he loves me, but does that fix everything?

The joke is on me. His crazily hot presence is impossible for me to deny. Fighting temptation or risking it all; the choice is simple, but the consequences are tough.

However, when new revelations threaten to break us apart, there is only one thing I can do: Stock up on chocolate and sit this fucker out until the end.

The third part of Possessed, a three-part series from Coco Cadence.

OMG, I so loved the conclusion to the series! I had such a great time following these two characters! Such a fun storyline.
We finally get to see Samantha making a decision about her relationship with Leo King. We see her struggle in her attempt to forgive him for what he out her through.
We finally see Leo revealing his true feelings for Sam.
This sexy conclusion will put a smile on your face and certainly is enough to lift your spirits.
Coco Cadence has such talent in creating great characters with an ease that's almost surreal. I loved our heroine and I will say it again; she is so independent and feisty!!! Love her.
Leo is just...Leo! There are no proper words to describe him. He is one of a kind!


Don't miss this series and don't miss this new author!

*This is the same review on all 3 books in this series, because I actually read all 3 books before passing judgement on them*
OMG! That was honestly one of the most awful books I have EVER read and I have read a whole lot of awful books because I am a book junkie and I read all the time and by all the time I mean like a book a day all the time! The ONLY thing this book had going for it was that it was free on Kindle Unlimited.

Let's address everything that was wrong with this book:

The dialog - childish and moronic. Seriously how old were these people????
The characters - Annoying as hell. Wishy Washy doesn't even begin to describe them.
The entire plot - Poorly thought out and delivered. And don't get me started on the inconsistencies. I would add some quotes here that show that there were many but that would require me to go back and skim ) through the book to find them and that would be torture to my poor brain. I have read the billionaire needs a fake wife plot plenty of times because lets just say it has been done to death. But this is by far the worst one I have ever read because really this billionaire doesn't need a fake wife, because he has a real one! YEP! He was stupid and drunk and married her in Vegas. Yep, she lured him into it! And then she wants nothing to do with him but she wants his company. Ok, so tell me this! If you married a man to get his company, would you not claim to the world that you were married to him, make the world see you as his wife, play the part, demand he do the same and force him to admit to the marriage and THEN since there is NO prenup )because if you are drunk enough to get married in Vegas, you sure as hell weren't thinking about a prenup), take his ass to the cleaners and get the company that way?! If she wanted the company so badly, why did SHE keep is a secret, NOPE!!! Can you say NOT EVEN REMOTELY BELIEVE ABLE??? Can I just write a bunch of gibberish on paper and call it a novel. Apparently you can.....
The format - Did it really take 3 books to tell this story?? I think NOT!!!
The sex scenes - OMG! I was actually embarrassed for the characters! Seriously. I don't think this author had ANY idea how to do a Dom/sub book, so why did she even try? I mean seriously!!! Did she NOT read 50 Shades of Grey?!!! She could have at least figured out the general principles behind one if she had!!!
Not sure what book everyone else read but I am pretty sure it wasn't the same one as me.

Drama, erotic romance and retribution all come together brilliantly to finish this trilogy.
Marilyn continues with her evil plans to become CEO of the magazine. She believed in that twisted mind of hers, if she got Sam out of the picture, it could all be hers.
Sam does something that has dramatic consequences...... Leo fires her.....it looks like Marilyn got what she wanted and she signs the divorce papers, but she will never be CEO, so it looks like it's all good for Leo too, or it would be if only Sam would answer her phone, text messages, or email. Leo wants her, and by God, he will have her... he pulls out all the stops in order to reach her....but Sam is feeling, used, her heart is shattered. Is there even a way to come back from such devastation? She gave it all, all of herself to him, and he callously threw her away. But whats really killing her is the fact that shattered or not, her heart and her body still wants Leo, Sir, all of it...... You have got to read this phenomenal trilogy yourself. I can see a brite future ahead for this new Author. A brilliant beginning indeed.

This is the final kicker in what has been a perfectly encapsulated little series, a completely delightful means of escape.
As with the previous books, the story revolves around Sam and Leo and after the revelations that were divulged at the end of book two it is time to finally make sense of the situation and to try and find a way for the both of them to survive the aftermath of everything they have been through.
But they are closer than they think, to being able to accept the truth about the nature of what they not only have now but have had all along – because Leo lays it all on the line in his bid to win the heart of Sam and I have to say he picked up a few extra brownie points in my books when he tries to explain that he has had feelings for her all along – ever since her interview.
But the path to true love never runs smoothly as we are all very much aware and for Leo and Sam the very large and obnoxious fly in their ointment is Leo’s ball and chain – the much hated “wife”, the woman holding the annulment he so desperately seeks hostage over him. She wants what he can’t give her, but when Sam plays right into her hands in a misguided attempt to help – Leo is left with no choice but to do the one thing he never wanted – he fires Sam!
But when the truth all comes to light, Leo fights back with every means possible, can they make it back to where they both need to be- can he explain his actions and win his woman back?
Well, she doesn’t make it easy for him and the lengths that he goes to were little short of Epic but when I said he laid himself on the line earlier in the book – I underestimated the man, he did his grovelling in a HUGE way and he had too because firing her marked the end in their relationship as far as Sam was concerned and that broke her heart.
She couldn’t comprehend why when she stood by him despite everything he had done, he would be able to just dismiss everything that they had, he smashed her heart to smithereens and worse still she let him.
But when she finally gets a glimpse of what he has been up to in order to win her back it was obvious that she was fighting a losing battle and I have to say that I was glad she didn’t leave him hanging too much, they had been through too much to walk away and when she heard his explanation, he must have laced his words with more than charm because each word attached itself to the shattered shards of her heart and slowly glued them back together
All in all they don’t only compliment they complete each other and this nippy little trilogy is a crafty little read that not only introduces great characters but a new author that shows from the get-go that she has plenty to give to the genre.

Title: Possessed:
Author: Coco Cadence
Publisher/Year: Coco Cadence 4/16/15
Length: 98 pages
Series: Possessed Part 3

Overview

My boss, the billionaire bad boy Leo King, not only tricked me into being his fake-wife, but the dirty secret he's been keeping from me is now also exposed.

I can't believe I fell for his lies, and worse, I still want him. He says he loves me, but does that fix everything?

The joke is on me. His crazily hot presence is impossible for me to deny. Fighting temptation or risking it all; the choice is simple, but the consequences are tough.

However, when new revelations threaten to break us apart, there is only one thing I can do: Stock up on chocolate and sit this fucker out until the end.

My Thoughts

A big hearty thank you to the publishing team here for giving me access to the whole series before it's out - in the hopes that maybe just maybe you guys would find this series to be as interesting and fun to read as i do. What we have here is the finale to the novella series and the culmination of what turned into a really complicated relationship dynamic.

As you'll remember in the end of Part 2, Sam and Leo were in a very bad place. Sam was fully aware of the situation of Leo and his 'real wife' but that didn't make things any easier. She also learned the identity of Mr Awesome, and that makes things even more complicated for them. I mean, what happens when the man that you have been talking to about your asshole boss has such a close relationship to said asshole boss?

Anyhow, the journey in this finale is one of understanding what you'll allow yourself to go through and what the idea of Love means in the hopes of coming to a happy place. There are so many factors outside of these 2 that are constantly pulling them apart, knowing that there's a chance that being boss/employee will blow up in their face, along with Marilyn who doesn't want to let go of Leo w/o the CEO position, and the fact that there's this intense sexual chemistry between them that will explode. We've seen that Leo likes to take on the D role and that's something that on paper Sam likes, but will she like it in real life - that's to be determined.

I like the ease in how this story flows - we get to see the back story on Leo and Sam's relationship and how it came to be what it is. It's nice to see that Leo's human since he was made into the mean boss from the onset. Aside from that, it's all a crap shoot. So on that note, you'll get to enjoy some hot scening between these 2 and some passion and chemistry that leaps off the pages. All in all, not a bad way to enjoy my day reading.

The story has laughs, suspense, secrets, betrayal, and heartbreak.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first
Possessed - Part One (Possessed, #1)
Possessed - Part Two (Possessed, #2)

This is Samantha and Leo’s story. This book picks up where the last one stopped. Leo did something Samantha was not prepared for. Can she deal with the outcome? Will she ever forgive Leo or was this the very last straw? Seems like every time they get to a good place some other bomb is dropped and Samantha is always the one getting crushed with all the shrapnel. Can Leo fix all the mistakes he has made and makeup for all the secrets and lies?

Leo and Samantha have a ton of chemistry and can laugh and poke fun at each other. They are a great couple if they could just stop hurting each other and come together for the right reasons and not the wrong ones.

I recommend this book and this series.

*this review will contain spoilers if you haven't read the series*

Finally! The conclusion to this seriously hot and steamy serial series full of twists, turns, suspense, and tons of steam. This book was really good and provided a nice wrap up for this series.

This is it for Leo and Samantha. Leo once again has dropped a bomb on Samantha leaving her realizing that there is a lot more to Leo than she realized. Leo wants Samantha and he is determined to make her his. As these two try to figure out what they want, they both realize along the way they have fallen in love. Can the past be dealt with and put to rest once and for all? Does love truly conquer all? Pick up this steam and last installment in the Possessed series.

Loved Leo! He fought and fought for Samantha in this book. We got to see that he truly does have feelings for her. We got to see that delicious naughty side come out. And that dirty mouth of his should come with a warning!

I also liked Samantha in this book. She had some decisions to make in this book after ALL the revelations and truths were revealed. I like how she really put Leo through the ringer so he could prove to her that he was all in with her.

I loved this two together. Once everything was out in the open, it was beautiful to see them come together. There was one incident towards the end that got my blood pumping BUT it was done for a reason and a good one at that. I hope for more of these two in the future.

I highly recommend this series.

4.5 Stars - Now that all of Leo and Sam’s secrets are out, Coco Cadence heats things up in the final installment of the Possessed serial. Free of their inhibitions, Sam and Leo light their story on fire. Coco Cadence never ceases to entertain with her snarky banter and quirky characters. Leo King continues to surprise me, bringing all of his alpha personality to the pages of this novella. He’s possessive, demanding, sexy, and has a mouth that will make you absolutely blush. He also happens to have an unexpected sweet side that will leave you melting. I knew we were in for some serious tension with the revelation we were left with at the end of part two and Coco Cadence did not disappoint. Part 3 is just as sweaty as it is sweet and Leo and Sam seem to have unleashed even more lust in this book.

I have to admit; I was impressed with Coco Cadence’s plot development in this novella. While things with Leo and Sam certainly moved in the anticipated direction, the twists and turns of their story kept me guessing and prevented the story from feeling too predictable. Sam’s actions not only surprised me, but helped showcase her overall character growth since the story began. We also get to see both an incredibly sexy and controlling Leo and a less cocky and emotionally vulnerable Leo in this installment. This gave the character more complexity and authenticity. I adored every heated exchange and sarcastic comment volleyed between Leo and Sam. Part 3 was a great way to wrap up their story and I am looking forward to seeing what Coco Cadence will tackle next.

The secret is out! Leo and Sam have a big fight right at the start. I really enjoyed the angry and playful conversation they have over the many secrets this man is juggling.

I understand Sam's reaction to the mess she's in. She's emotionally cornered and doesn't trust this man who's so seductive, yet earnest to win her over despite his attitude and mistakes. I liked the process she goes through, her confiding in a very funny friend and her concerns whether she should give in or stay away for good. Oh, that hot declaration from Leo had me rooting for him with all my heart!

He's such a naughty, dirty-mouthed boss, but he's quickly earning sexy points because he's so determined to keep Sam for himself. I liked his attitude of never giving her up. And oh, the intimate scenes between them are getting even better, which is quite a hot, hot feat ;o)

Though hell can get worse too. This kinky, feisty couple are going to have even more problems to overcome which threaten their newly found bliss. The final part turns messy, ugly and hurtful but incredibly entertaining as the rest of this serial. Leo is fond of big gestures and the finale proves it in a huge way. I loved it. This serial is equally fun and hot. It won't be the last thing I read by this original author!

Possessed - Part One (Possessed, #1)

Oh my god! HOLY HOTTNESS!!!! I loved Leo King. He is so dominating and sometimes quite harsh with the way he speaks. Sam is Leo King’s assistant and she absolutely hates Leo, especially when he comes up with this proposition. Leo wants Sam to pretend to me his wife to fool his family. It seems like he doesn’t get on well with his family but he told them that he got married and now he has to show up with his wife. Both characters are brilliant and I loved reading about both of them. There is an attraction between them but Sam is engaging in sexy foreplay with a guy she has never met but she e-mails him. She only knows him as Mr Awesome. But little does Sam know that Leo and Awesome are the same man.

In this final book, Sam decides she needs to make decisions on her relationship with Leo. She struggles to forgive him for what he has done to her during their relationship. From the proposition to the lies, will she ever forgive him. Will she get her happy ending. your going to have to one click this one to find out.

Leo King final secret is reveal to Samantha Webber and it throws her even more.
\Can things get any worse? Samantha finds herself still wanting her boss despite all his lies. She knows she should let him go but he has a hold on her. Even his admission that he loves should not change the situation, he still is technically married and not to her
.
Sam must fight this temptation or will she give into him and risk everything. As the two fight off each other and thrown in a wife who wants his downfall. Is there any room for the two of them to make things work or should she cut her loss before it is too late?

Another steamy read by Coco Cadence as their chemistry sizzles.

I gave this book 5 stars!

This book leaves off where book 1 ends. Sam is having a heard time accepting the truth that Leo is married. She is trying to figure out where her heart and her job lie. Leo is telling Sam all the right things but is it to get in her pants or is it something more?

We start to see Leo in a different light and so does Sam. Will Leo still be the asshole or will he be her knight,?

This is a fun, cute and a quick read that does have a cliffhanger. I love how Coco gives Sam so many emotions that I feel like I am Sam. Looking forward to reading the conclusion of Sam and Leo.

So we are at the end.....Secrets are being let out in this one. Leo just revealed a huge one that rocked Sam's world but more is to come especially when Sam gets writing. Leo is trying his best to get rid of his real wife while Sam has a better approach to it. Besides all this going on, Leo and Sam are getting closer and closer and the sex is off the wall hot! All these books are short, fun and sexy reads, keeps you wanting more as you close out a book. You won't regret picking up these books. Here's a quote that I think sums up this series best, "We're like two magnets attracting and pushing each other away." I'm so thankful I got to read this series, it was a great read!

At last! Part 3 is finally here and what can I say? it was amazing, explosive and HOT as hell! In part 2 we learn what an asshole Leo King really is and we come to know of Sam Webber's dirty sexting with Mr Awesome. I won't spoil what happens which is difficult because they are short books. But drama enfolds here and so much more.

Written to perfection Coco Cadence really does have talent and a dirty imagination! This is a must read!

Aimed at audiences of 18+ with a lot of hot sexual content.

Wow! What a great conclusion to this series. We get to see Sam struggle with her relationship with Leo. What lies do we believe and if Sam gets what her heart wants. All 3 books has such a good storyline and you either love/hate Leo. I think I'm starting to love him!!!

Coco you have written a beautiful story that was fun, amazing, cute, had the right amount of emotions and was a quick read. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.

These two make me think of pinching cheeks, they are too adorable for words! I felt the happiness they felt when they were together and the devastation when situations ripped them apart. I don't normally willingly spend money on a novella but Coco Cadence has a decent quality in the writing that paying for it is so worth every penny. The story makes you want to fight for the characters and hate the world that keeps them apart.

"Possessed: Part 3" was the best possible conclusion to this short trilogy that I could have asked for. I loved Leo and Samantha the most in this final installment, and was so happy their story had a happy ending. The entire Possessed series was a quick and short read, and I was glad that I gave it a try.

The third and final installment of this three part story is approximately 75% raunchy sex and the rest is horrible dialogue with a rather absurd public apology scene.

I'd certainly like to know how Leo is going to keep his previous marriage a secret from his extremely wealthy family when it was published as a story and then he took out a newspaper article...

I really enjoyed this series. I would love to see more from Samantha and Leo. I think there could be more trouble they could get into. I would also like to see some more stories in this world maybe a story for Sams bff, and or Leos brother. He was def up to something I would love to see some of that.

This is a nice ending to the Possession books by Coco Cadence. In this book all of the issues are worked out and all questions answered.
I gave this book 3 stars because I wasn't particularly impressed with the story. Once I figured out who the mystery man was, that was it. I'm glad that it ended well for them but this story as just meh.

This redeemed itself with as much romance as there were steamy erotic scenes.

S and L finally get an HEA; albeit unconventional. Luckily I did not predict that S would do what she did nor did I expect L to do what he did, so it was more enjoyable for me.

I just couldn't get to a point where I liked Samantha at all. She was repetitive when describing Leo and to me just couldn't make her mind. I liked Leo's character and wished I could've got more from him but the story is from Samantha's POV.
