Billionaire Jacob Whitmore thought he was ready to finally let go of his anger and move forward with Leila after learning the truth--then Cole shows up, asking the unthinkable. Letting go of his hatred is hard enough, forgiveness seems impossible, but saving the person behind this whole mess? That seems insane. When he looks at Leila, Jacob knows what his answer has to be. But the stakes are higher than he ever imagined... His Passion (Part Three) is the third installment in the Billionaire Dom Diaries series. The Billionaire Dom Diaries series is the sequel to The Billionaire's Wife series.

So , His Passion leaves off from part 2. As we all know Jacob agreed to help Brittany. He has a heart of gold and will do anything for Leila. And even though after everything that happened he still helps Cole. They find out Brittany was sold to the sex traffic and try to get her back. They take Lars hostage and force him to take them to Brittany. They get her back and head home.
Cole reveals another little tidbit of info that he shares with Jacob and it nearly shatters his world. I did NOT see that coming and my mouth was hitting the floor... I cannot wait to see what the next part brings. How this person is involved and what blow back they will have to deal with from Lars. Great installment. Had you gripping your seat and itching for more. Ava does it once again.

This was a good book, I love Jacob and Leila. I still think it is crazy that they actually helped Cole and his sister that treated Leila horribly, it makes no sense to me. I am glad that the two brothers got to bond some during this experience. Brittany is a big mouthed, immature brat and she got on my nerves big time. I would liked to say I was shocked by the tattoo Brittany had but I wasn't, as soon as Cole flipped out about it I knew what had happened and who was responsible. Curious how this will end, and will we have to worry about Lars coming after Jacob and Leila, I really hope not, I want then back to the loving couple they were at the end of the submission series, I am tired of them not being happy.

Jacob really proved he was the bigger man in this book by agreeing to help Cole rescue Brittney! Personally I would have left her in the hands of Lars because she is definitely unhinged!! She didn’t even seem grateful for being saved from a life in the sex trafficking business.

Ms Claire twisted things even further by revealing who is behind all the messy business…..

(I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.)

This series just gets better and better. It's also a little over-the-top crazy at times; and I'm still trying to decide whether or not I think this time was too over-the-top. I know when you're a billionaire, things that happen in your life can seem pretty unusual to the average person. Your world is so much bigger that you're bound to get into some scrapes that most people could not even fathom. In Part 3 of her series, however, Ava put poor Jacob and Leila in a terrible situation that has become far too real for many families around the world. Because I work really hard to keep spoilers out of my reviews, I won't go into details about what it is, but it truly is a scary issue.

So why, you ask, do I find it a bit over-the-top? It's the way the climax of the book goes. Because of the spoiler thing, I can't go into it more than that. I just keep finding myself thinking that it was very unlikely that things would work out so well, so easily. Don't get me wrong. The book had tons of action, and the climax was written so well it left a very clear picture in my mind. I just found myself waiting for the other shoe to drop. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. I suppose it's possible that things might have actually been easier because Jacob's a billionaire. I don't think so, though.

I absolutely can't wait to read the last part of the series to see where this all ends up. This part ended with a serious cliffhanger, and I have to say it left me shocked.

This series of "books" picks up where The Billionaire's Wife left off. Leila is safe at home with Jacob after being kidnapped by Cole (Jacob's brother) & his crazy sister Brittney. Leila won't talk about her ordeal to Jacob & every time he asks if she's okay she says she's fine. He is frustrated because he knows she's hurting & he just wants to help her heal. The rage inside him is growing & he is trying to track down Cole so he can get revenge on him. Jacob takes Leila to Ireland telling her it's business but really he has tracked down Cole. Leila knows exactly where Cole is & when Jacob leaves her at their hotel she follows him. She doesn't expect to walk into Cole's house in & find him tied to a chair with Jacob trying to behead him. Thankfully Leila stopped him before he went to far & did something they couldn't undo. Leila finally breaks down & tells Jacob everything that happened to her & how Cole helped her. Jacob admits he didn't know how to handle not being in control & how lost he felt when she was taken from him. The day they are leaving Ireland Cole comes to their hotel & begs Jacob for help. Someone has kidnapped Brittney from her hotel room in Paris at gun point leaving her boyfriend behind. When they get to Paris they find out a very dangerous criminal who is a well known human sex trafficker has Brittney working in one of his Brothels. Jacob is horrified when he sees the condition Brittney is in when they find her & even more horrified when he finds out who paid for her to be kidnapped.

Wow this series just keeps getting better! his Passion is book three in Ava Claire's Billionaire Dom Diaries series. You should read books one and two in order to know what is going on. This is not a standalone!
This book picks up from where book two ends. Jacob has agreed to help Cole strictly because of Leila. He feels he owes him in some twisted way. They find the man holding Brittney, Lars, and he is selling her in his sex trafficking ring. All kinds of chaos ensues to get Brittney! Once they get Brittney, another bombshell is laid at our feet! Geez! Total twist in the story! I was so enthralled with this chapter I was reading super fast cause I had to see what was going to happen! And I sure didn't see that bomb at the end coming! Ava Claire did not disappoint! The next chapter will be very interesting to say the least! No only are we sure to see some retribution from Lars-for stealing Brittney back, but we also have to see how this surprise is all mixed up in a sex trafficking business! There's a lot on the plate here and I am looking forward to devouring it all up soon!
I was gifted this book by the author for the express purpose of an honest review. The rating and review are solely my opinion and in no way was I compensated.

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. To start this off this book is part of a series and needs to be read in order this book is not meant as a stand alone.

Now with that being said oh wow is this series good. In this book we find out what has happened to Brittany. We also find the lengths that they will go to get her back. Jacob is looking to protect is wife from anymore hurt or harm and Cole is looking to get back the closest person he has been with for most of his life his sister. What we find is that Cole is finding his inner bad a** and going to protect the person he loves most. Also Cole and Jacob are finding a middle ground after everything that has happened so far. There is so much more I want to say about this book but I don't want to give away any secrets. This book is amazing I highly recommend this series to anyone and everyone.

By now you figured out the favor Cole asked of Jacob and because Jacob feels he owes Cole for protecting Leila during the kidnapping, he agrees. Now they're in Paris, rescuing Brittany and it's more dangerous than Jacob originally thought.

I still can't believe they helped Cole! Especially because it was Brittany who is actually in trouble. She's so ungrateful, immature and smart mouthed that it's like talking to a teenager with an attitude problem. The tattoo? SHOCKER!!! I can't wait to see where that goes. I love watching the love still burning hot and strong between Jacob and Leila. Awesome series! I can't wait for part number four.

How do you help someone that you hate? Jacob is put to the test when Cole needs his help to find and rescue Brittany. I love getting inside Jacob's head as he faces these new challenges. You really understand the depth of his love for Leila as she is a driving force behind the decisions he makes. I truly have enjoyed this journey as we get to experience more of Jacob and Leila's relationship but also all the twisted aspects to his family and just what makes him tick. The final revelation is shocking and I'm very curious how it will play out in the next installment.

Brittany annoys me to no end, but Alicia....she is just a horrible person with no remorse for anyone other than herself.
With that said, this 3rd part was good though I did call the ending before I read it. As soon as Cole yelled for Jacob to look at the "thing" Brittany showed him I knew what it would say...and I am extremely interested to see how Jacob and Leila handle this.

There was a lot of action in this one but not too much to overpower the story. The next one should be VERY interesting to say the least!

Oh Goodness Cliffhanger! Really Ava you leave in a state like that! I need more I am so addicted. Leila is a great woman. Her love and compassion is so honorable. Even after everything that has happened she is still going to help Cole and his sister Brittany. With all the twist and turns that Leila and Jacob have had on the trip they are going to need another vacation. I cannot wait for the final book in the series. The characters are well developed. Jacob and Leila's passion is spot on.

You know when you're reading and you just know in your gut that something like this is going to happen. Every part of me knew that witch was behind this. I know to some they may think it was a good thing she did as payback for Leila but wow that is beyond low.

I know you're scratching your head aren't you? Lol well you have to pickup this latest action packed thriller to find out. Ooooh I can't wait to sink my teeth into the final section. Be awesome if this led to another spin off....

Passion

Worth picking up and reading with love one by your side. Romantic with a hint of believability that one could fall into relationship with a billionaire. In your dreams but one could only hope that's a possibility. When young and hopeful, not life in general.
