4.5 Paint splattered with love Stars
This trilogy of books was good. Full of need and want, sex and desire, secrets and finally some answers.
This 3rd book was the perfect conclusion for Jake and Lacey.
Innocent Lacey had her world awakened when she met Jake. Her senses were put on ultra high. She was encompassed with secrets that finally had light shed upon them .
I was definitely not expecting Jake's dark and sad past. Plus a little added bonus we get nicely surprised with about Mr Jake!!
This book would have been 5 STARS if Lacey's past was more detailed. .....I know that part would have been shocking as well.
Adding a book 4 to continue their passion would be acceptable Miss Dark!

The final installations in this delicious dark series is as fulfilling as death by chocolate. The mysterious Jake’s past is revealed and his journey with Lacey comes full circle. Love is about compromise, and meeting in the middle. Something that Jake and Lace learn all about through their ups and downs.
I read all three books in one night. I couldn’t wait to find out what came next. If you’re interested in dark romance, but worry that it might be too heavy for you, this is an excellent starting point! The humor and rumor that run through it really lighten up the darkness.

3 - 3.5 Stars.
This was just a little too quick for me.. I loved the BDSM in it. I wanted Jake to kind of lead/guide Lacey through it instead of just putting her in the situations. Overall it was a quick read and easy to follow.. the ending was just a little to unrealistic to me.

3.5 Stars. This was a short sexy serial that consist of three books that total under 190 pages. That's why I rated 3.5 instead of 4 stars, I could've used a bit more.
I really enjoyed the authors writing style, the hero was sexy and mysterious and the heroine was very likable. I had quite a few laughs because of her banter, whether with her friend or the hero she kept me entertained. The sex scenes were very steamy and the story, although not original, was written well and kept me turning pages to see what would happen next.
All in all, I enjoyed this sexy but short 3 part serial and look forward to reading more from Aubrey Dark.

Secrets, locked doors … Jake and Lacey have bonded through their art as well as all the erotic encounters Jake has created. Lacey begins to wonder if she will be able to say goodbye at the end of the week. She then stumbles upon Jake's biggest secret which is the catalyst to bring all his walls down. From there an amazing piece of artwork is created in one of the most sensuous scenes I've ever read. Will they say goodbye? Or will they realize that they have both found something that they don't want to let go?

3 parts, 1 review
This was a quick, light read. After part 1, I honestly expected a little more domination but it was seriously light on that front. A couple of spanks and a tickle with the crop and that's it. He doesn't even really order her around. There's not much of a plot but it's full of steamy scenes (even if they don't seal the deal until the very end) and I enjoyed reading it just for its hot factor alone. I'm shallow like that.

The final part in this series about Lacey and Jake. He was keeping her for a week as his birthday gift to himself. But what will happen at the end of those seven days. They've discovered a lot about one another in such a short time and feelings have become involved. I really liked this series and will definitely be reading more from this author.

Dark but Bright!
At first, I was not certain about the content, then Aubrey Dark took me, the reader on a whirlwind ride! I felt like I was in the room with Kate and Lace. Watching them create their painting. The conclusion to part 3 made me want to cry! This is better than "Fifty Shades of Grey"!!!

Part 1-3: 4 stars! Great chemistry and characters that really caught my interest. Could not put down!
Part 4-6: 2 stars! Was really happy when I found out that there was a continuation to these. Too bad that they were only decent - what happened to the heat?

Finished... Kinda where you expect to see it, but these type of books for me is in the details. It's being able to picture it in my mind as I read it. This one does that.

Ok... this is a review for his gift 1 to 3... this was ok... a bit short a really fast read...
This is the story of your typical virginal farm girl In NY that happens to meet the billionaire under atypical circumstances... she happens to be confused as the "pet" gifted to the hero... after that you can imagine what goes by... a billionaire who doesn't listen and a girl who is happy to let him do anything... and then ta da! He falls in love!
I hated that this happened in 1 week... it was to much to fast... but apart from that it was ok.

This was a great series. Quick, fast paced story. Easily pulled into and engrossed in the roller coaster ride this story puts you on. Fun and emotional with romance and sexual tension, everything you need. Will be looking into this author.

This is a six-part novel series. It is very sensitive and at times very funny wth extremely hot BDSM scenes, Lacey is a graffiti artist who is about to lose her apartment. She has taken a part-time job as a bartender at night along with her job as a waitress in the daytime. Her bff Steph who owns a bakery has asked her to deliver a $2000 birthday cake for her and she'll pay her $100. Lacey's a tomboy and doesn't wear dresses. But Lucas the man that commissioned the cake's delivery has insisted it be delivered by a female in a dress. Steph dolls Lacey up and sends her on her way. She winds up going into the wrong room while looking for the kitchen and enters an art gallery in the billionaire's home. Her heel gets caught in the deep pile carpet and she looses the cake. She kicks off her shoes and walks barefoot looking at the art and she sees that the cake lands on the floor and the shoe of the billionaire birthday cake recipient, Jake. He mistakes her her as the gift that Lucas has promised him as a birthday gift for a week. An amazing read. So much happens to this couple, including several kidnappings.

I didn't give a review on this trilogy until I read all three because I wanted to see where the story was going. For me it's not necessarily the BDSM that I like in the story as much as I like the reason the character feels the desire to be sexual like that. In most stories I've read there is always a deep seeded reason for them to be drawn to it. I liked Jake's story. I also liked what he and Lacey had in common, the way they connected through art it was almost like they could see art through the same eyes and it connected Jakes heart to Lacey's heart. One thing I have to agree with a few of the reviews I read, the story was too quick. There needed to be more time to their relationship , their story. But who knows for a person like Jake who has spent most of his life not feeling and not experiencing love maybe it just happens that quickly when that special person comes along to unlock your heart I guess it could be as quick as a turn of a key in a lock. Good story

I'll review the series, because each book has like 60 pages and....
So, thank GOD for Kindle Unlimited, because i don't think i would have paid money for this series.
As i have said before, i don't really like short novels. They all seem rushed. This one included. BUT, this one has something new: a billionaire, but like to dress up in hoodies and paint graffitis through NY or Paris. Seriously?
Anyways, something in all this smells a lot like FSOG. Alpha male handsome billionaire, who likes kinky stuff (BDSM, of course), sad childhood, meets young virgin whom he starts to fall in love with and .
I must admit, it was intriguing and i didn't dislike it. There was just sex, so it was ok.

I recommend,only if you like the dark.
I waited to read all 3 books because really the first was kind of mild. The second a little more intense, bout the third?
Yes, that showed everything everyone's true nature.
Kage and Lacey will do well. They both "see" their art with sex. But only with each other. She needs his darkness and he needs her innocence, I would not say light because she enjoys his darkness just as much as he does but because she is innocent at everything I think that is why Kage is able to open finally to her.
He does not train her into his wants and needs when it comes to sex. But she does get it, his feelings, so it's not abuse it is a shared art.

*Honest Review in exchange of an ARC*
After reading
, which was a pain... a sadistic pain (pleasure-pain-pleasure-pain-pain), this trilogy was really refreshing, even it's dark, it flows wonderfully and you are expecting for more, which Ms. Aubrey delivers perfectly!
Delivering a cake wasn't so much exciting before. It's all I'm saying!
If you want to read something good, quick, and dark, this is it!

His Gift (A Dark Billionaire Romance Part 3) by Aubrey Dark
** I received a copy of this book from the Author in exchange for my honest review **
Part 3 was a rousing, heartwarming, salacious book! I was completely engaged from page one until the end. This was the best of the three books. Jake and Lacey opened up to each other and learned each others true selves. Their openness leads to one of the best scenes I have read in a book in a very long time. Outstanding job Ms. Dark, thank you for this fantastic read at a time when I needed something wonderful to to take me out of my head!!

Ah, yes. This was the ending I was looking forward to. I'm not a fan of insta-love, but seeing as this was a serial, I could deal with it. I could understand Lacey's struggle and empathized with her. The time was winding down for them. It was supposed to be 1 week, but it was turning into more than that for her. Much more.
And apparently for him, too, if the ending was any indication. After that speedy conclusion, I wasn't at all satisfied. So it was just my luck that the story continues in His Ransom!

As in the previous two novellas, I liked the chemistry and the developing relationship between Jake and Lacey. They interact, fight and grow with each other in a realistic, light and bubbly way (and the sex just adds some spice to the sweetness). A little short for my liking, and it didn't feel like too much happened over the course of the books, but I've discovered that there's another one (couple?) to dig up, so I won't hold it against Miss Dark. It keeps the readers coming back for more.

I am soo disappointed by the series!
It was spread out over 3 books and yet it was rushed with little detail.
Seriously they fell in love with each other in a week and wanted to live together already?! They don't even know each other for crying out loud! It would have been way better if it was dragged out over months. Build up the excitement.

***(small very small spoiler)***
my favorite book of the series. this final chapter gives you everything you need. I could have done without the I love yous. I think you could have gotten your point across and gotten the happy ever after without it but it was still my have favorite installment.
