I decided to write one review for the entire series of Baited by Ali Parker. The series consist of three, very short, parts involving the same story/characters. I am not sure as to why it was broken down in three parts. I read the entire series in about 90 minutes so even together it is a very short read.
Baited is the story Becca, a late 30 something year-old owner of a company. She has put her career before anything else and is very successful at what she does. Part of the reason she does so is because of the guy who broke her heart from high school many years ago. Kade & Becca were best friends but as soon as they started to become more Kade took off to California and she never saw him again. Ever since no man can come close to Kade so Becca focuses on work. Becca begins to date a young 20-something from her office, Jason. He is extremely into her and she wants to be into him but the age thing makes her a bit nervous. This is when Kade comes back in to the picture and Becca needs to decide who she wants.
Though the book has a really great set up for great romance novel it fell a little flat to me. Kade is this guy Becca has been thinking about for years, yet he is in like three scenes total in the book. He was all mystery and I have no idea what he was like. I knew right away who Becca would chose with how the story going. There was no suspense. Kade's character needed to be more developed. I think the problem is the book was simply too short. I enjoyed the idea of the book and Ali Parker is making her way into becoming a great author but there just wasn't enough story or depth to the characters to give the reader much of anything.
With that said, I really hope this series can be retouched and given more depth because I really enjoyed the synopsis and the idea of it. There wasn't really a love triangle either and that left me disappointed. I would definitely reread this again if changes were made.
I give Baited, Part 1, 2 & 3, by Ali Parker 2 stars.

The conclusion in this series! Who will Rebecca Choose? Kade, her first love or Jason, the sexy younger man who she is attracted to, but is also her employee! You will be surprised and love the ending!
April 20, 2015
Rebecca gets her chance to talk to Kade McMillian whom she has thought herself in love with since high school. She has not had a real relationship because of her hang ups over him.
Then she met Jason, who is also her employee. He has real feelings for her and asks that she give him a chance. She gives in and they go on a work trip together alone to see if this is what they want.
Jason is really all that she has ever wanted. If only he were closer in age to her and not her employee. She is being encouraged to date him by everyone around her, but is reluctant to cause the company a bad reputation.
When she finally gets her dinner with Kade, Jason happens to walk in and see them together. Since she never told him what was going on - he thinks the worst. Can true love conquer all? Can the honest feelings be love? I found it compelling and was hard to put down!

I really liked how this series ended. Actually, I noticed I liked a lot of things in this book. Firstly, the way Rebecca often talked to herself and answered herself in the process. I liked that her friendship with Parker was platonic, like a sister confiding to a brother and vice versa. I also liked that Rebecca finally found the courage to settle her differences with Kade, and Jason .. oh my, what else am I going to say about Jason? I think he’s perfect! Hell, if I weren't married to my husband, I might as well pick him for myself, don’t care if he’s 10 years younger than me. :)
This was really a feel-good story, very light-hearted and sweet. Rebecca is one helluva woman and ALi Parker is crazy brilliant! I was really impressed with Ms Parker’s writing and She writes a wonderfully romantic story, complete with some quirky, dashing characters that every reader would surely love. This is by far my favorite book this month!

I Denfinitely recommend this Series to everyone. Its a short story that you must read!

I did receive this book for my review in exchange for unbiased and honest opinion.
This was a quick read. I really loved how the ending went. I just wish there was one more book that lets us into what more happened with her decision. I know we have a pretty good idea at the end of the book. Is Rebecca ready to move forward or is she still going to hold on to the past. I can't really tell you or it will ruin the book. She has to make a decision of who she wants, Kade from the past or Jason from the present. The decision is made in this book and you will be surprised!

received a book form the author for an honest review....
The conclusion to Rebecca story was amazing....she finally chooses one of the men who want her, I was really hoping it would be her business partner and best friend Parker, but no such luck. When Rebecca goes to tell the man she did not choose that there is no them, the one she did choose sees it and walks away.
Will the relationship be over as its starting???will Rebecca remain alone???

For Becca in this one she gets her chance to figure out things with Kade and Jason. Add in Parker drama and it gets pretty interesting.
Kade and Becca have a history that needs to be dealt with for both of them to move on. Jason and Becca have issues too that also require attention for them to move on, and Parker just lightens the mood.
It was good.

I really liked this series. It was realistic as well as fun to read. And what a great quick read it was! Can't wait to see what else this author puts together for us. A definite 3 star series in my little old opinion.

This series was very good!!!

Phenomenal ending! I'm excited that she went with Jason over Kade. Kade may be in his thirties, but he is still immature. I'm glad Jason steppes up to the plate to be everything and more for Rebecca.

I liked the series.
It was a good story. The triangle of friendship, past and future love had me turning pages . The characters were fun and would love a spin-off.
