**Received a copy of ebook from the author for an honest review.**

"My place was here, beside him. We had been destined to meet, to merge our paths into one. I couldn't imagine a life without this man."

"He followed me with the sole purpose of getting me back."

This was undoubtedly one of the nice reads. So many secrets and so many questions yet to be answered. I couldn't stop myself even for a second to give a break in between. The anticipation is building and building. What will be next in the story? Argh... so many answers required. Overall I enjoyed the story. I guess in the next volume we are finally gonna meet Oliver. In this we only had a glimpse of his life. I liked how both of them were into each other, loving more and more with each passing day. And the chemistry between them was so intense.. *sigh*. However, someone is still determined to ruin their relationships by the tuning Alexia and sending her letters from Alexander's past, now I want to read the next volume to find all the answers, cannot wait.

"You're the only woman I'm sharing my life with. The only woman I desire and love."

"What I feel for you is too strong. I won't let anyone split us up. I won't let you leave me."

"You are my life, my muse, my everything!"

5 Cliffhanger Stars

Yet another cliffhanger and I can't seem to get enough of Alexander and Alexia. There were so many things that were trying to rip them apart but their love for one another are so strong. The only thing that I gets on my nerve is that Alexia is so worried about Alexander going back to his old life style. Her insecurities are just off the chart. I can't wait to read the forth book. Will there be happiness or will there secrets and lies? Waiting for book 4 :)

ARC/R2R received for my honest review.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I decided to test this book and NOT go back and read the earlier volumes in the series. I wasn't disappointed and not once did I feel uninterested because of not reading the first two books.

The book stood on it's own as torrid adult romance.

One of the big and persistent criticisms of this genre (a genre I also write in) is that feelings are given too much weight v. logic. The lead female characters are often portrayed as unable to control themselves against better judgment.

But what is life but emotions and the powerful things they force us to choose. What I always look for is does the book do an adequate job of describing the feelings so that we can relate to the why. The author here blows through adequate and hit me right in the heart of common emotions present in women.

I can't wait to read the first two books!

Have you ever fall in love with fictional characters? Well for me it is hard to do, but not with this series. I love both Alexander and Alexia, and understand both of their feelings. With each series the book gets much more intense, amazing and emotional twist and turns. Sharlyn will having you screaming at your kindle like it has ears LOL! This series is so good you will be sure to finish it in one sitting. Be sure to have a box of tissue at your side. Happy Reading!

***COMPLIMENTARY COPY PROVIDED BY THE AUTHOR IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW***

“I’m afraid I’ll wake up and find out that everything between us was just a wonderful dream.”
He put his index finger on my lips to shush me. “Never! What we have between us will never be over... as long as I’m alive.”



description


Squueee.... I love the first two books and I can say that this series is brilliant! This book will capture you from the very beginning until the end. The scenes are so hot and amazing that you feel that you're in there. And the emotions are real and you will feel what the character also felt.

“My place was here, beside him. We had been destined to meet, to merge our paths into one. I couldn’t imagine a life without this man.
Tenderly, he wiped the tear with his thumb and murmured, “We’ll never split up. I won’t let it happen.”


Their chemistry is so real and their love is so strong that even other people from their past wants them to tear apart they will never succeed. I love how Alexander protects Alexia and his possessiveness I love it, all of it! As you read this series you will say that these two characters are meant for each other, they are soul mates and they are destined to be together.

For those who love to read an amazing book, with a handsome, beautiful, sexy and an alpha male character and beautiful, amazing characters well this book is for you! And I can't get enough so I'm looking forward and freaking excited to read the book 4 of this series. Like right now!...hahaha

This book have a special place in my book of fame!

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.
In book 3 you see Alexia and Alexander's love grow even more.

I leaned in and pressed my lips against his. He tenderly kissed me back. He ran his fingers across my face and whispered, “My God, Alexia…You’re perfect.”

Even with everything that is thrown at them, they fight harder for each other. Alexia promises to stop running and Alexander says he won't be so jealous. Alexia's insecurities are still there and when Alexander's old friend tries to but in she finally stands up for their relationship.

Alexander Kraftberg was simply perfect; even now, wearing a frown, he was incredibly handsome. All he was concerned about was my safety, and I wanted the same for him.

You finally get a glimpse at Alexander's mysterious brother in this book, even though it leaves you hanging! Drama, love and vengeful ex's. What more do you need?!?! Awesome third book in the series!

**Received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review**
Can a love story get any better? Well YES! this love story has been keeping me on my toes, each book gets more intense, amazing and jammed packed of emotional twist and turns.

Once you start reading you won't be able to put it down until the end. I kept asking myself more than ever, can their relationship last when everyone from their past is trying to pull them apart?

Alexia is having doubts about their relationship; once again Alexander’s possessive nature arises and causes more stress and added pressure to their already volatile relationship.

Definitely an immense rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish highly recommend this series!

*****I received this book in exchange for an honest review*****
Another amazing book from this series, I really enjoyed it..
After the last book ended with Alexia running from Alexander after finding him in a compromising position they sort things out.. They are both still extremely jealous of one another but their love for each other is stronger than ever.. Someone is still determined to ruin their relationship, by sending Alexia photo's of Alexander from his past..
I would recommend this series to anyone...

Can a love story get any better , well yes this love story has been keeping me on my toes I have received book 2 and 3 as ARC. Alexia discovers the past of Alexander and she keeps running away at each hiccup in their relationship. Luckily for her Alexander always come back to reason her and declares that she is the only woman in his life. External factors are testing Alexia 's love and messes with her head and emotions . The author has kept a beautiful balance between the steamy couple . I can't wait to read the BooK 4 which I want and hope the author will give a HEA.

I love this book!
The story is captivating and hot! Once you start reading it you won't be able do put it down till the end. My favorite thing about it is that there is a very good transition in the storyline from volume 1 to volumes 2 and 3. At the same, time every book stands on its own and can be read separately.
I would definitely reccomend this book to anybody who is a fan or erotic novels

Limits of Destiny, Vol3 : ”since the moment I saw you, I’ve not been interested in any other women. I only have eyes for you.”
The Series Limits of Destiny is very well written and thoughtful. With every volume the story becomes more intriguing and interesting. Volume 3 is filled with mystery, love and HOT scenes. The book is captivating and you will not be able to put it down until the last page.
Аlexander Karftberg is sexy, strong alpha male with a very dominant and jealous character. But he loves Alexia and wants to make everything in his power to protect her. I love such men, who put their women first and want to do everything to make them happy.
Alexia Welson also loves Alexander but is afraid from his past, afraid from his secret life...
The love between the two characters is very strong. Your body will get on fire when you read the book.
„I was melting under his red-hot gaze. He leaned over me and carefully put the mask on me. I couldn’t see anything, but sensed the gentle touch of his lips on mine. The contact was too brief and made me want more. I heard him squeeze the oil out and a second later felt his slippery fingers on my skin. They slowly traced a line from my wrist, up my forearm to my underarm. Then they slid toward my neck and between my breasts. The sensation was so exciting and nice. Oh... so nice...”
Every tоuch, every moan, every word, which they said to each other, the situation... everything makes you want to read more and more. I really loved reading every page of this book!!!
“My place was here, beside him. We had been destined to meet, to merge our paths into one. I couldn’t imagine a life without this man.
Tenderly, he wiped the tear with his thumb and murmured, “We’ll never split up. I won’t let it happen.””
The book is like in a movie, there is a lot of passion, love, jealousy, mystery and a mountain of HOT scenes. This couple is setting the sheets on fire!
“No kiss is more wonderful than the one where both of us have reached the apex and completely surrendered to our bodies. There are no words that can describe this supreme pleasure, which makes you feel like you have wings.”
The chemistry between the main heroes is very strong. Their exes make things complicated and threaten to jeopardize their relationship. Alexia receives a note in the mail, which makes her learn more about the dark hidden past of Alexander.
Fantastic read, which captivates you from the first page to the last.

Alexia and Alexander have come back from Dubai and Alexia is having to face some very tough choices. However we learnt in the last book that Alexia walked in on Vanessa jumping on Alexander and even though she didn't know exactly what happened she felt so hurt that she ran home. When we start this book we notice that no matter what Alexia realises that she has Alexander on her side and he wouldn't let anything bad between them happen and that includes breaking up with each other.

Alexia is constantly having to deal with people from her past, for example her new boss/her ex Ralph Egli, when Alexander finds out that he won't leave her alone he gets insanely jealous and it's hard for Alexia as it feels like she can't do anything without his approval. Even though she craves him for the whole of him she can't help but question his love for her even though he says it quite often.

When Alexander learns that someone posted an anonymous letter to Alexia's letter box stating that she needs to stay away from him he is honestly angry and has to get the police involved as this is starting to involve an old case that he was involved in quite a while back.
Everything seems to be going so well up until Alexander goes out one night and Alexia has an encounter with Bert Gras who happens to be Vanessa's husband. He tries his hardest to push Alexia into doing things she really doesn't want to do and she's scared that he's going to hurt her until Alexander comes back and pulls him off her.

It's not everyday that Alexia is used to having that happen to her but what will she do now that one of Alexander's friends have tried to hurt her, will she be able to move on and hope that it's not going to happen again. Will Alexander learn to keep his jealousy under control. This book has kept me on the edge of my seat whilst reading it, a lot happens that you won't want to miss. I recommend anyone to read it as it will draw you in from the beginning. Sharlyn Branson your work is truly amazing and I am honestly happy that I have had the chance to read it, keep up the amazing work that your doing.

Strong alpha male, mystery, love!
The Series Limits of Destiny are very engaging and volume 3 is my favorite so far.
Many mysterious things happen in this volume! I do not want to share too many details so that the book is interesting for the readers. However, i have to confess i read it in 4 hours.
Аleksander Kraftberg is very attractive, dominent and jelous – real alpha male. His love to Alexia is endless. He is ready to stay behind her even with the risk of his life. Alexia means everything to him.
“I’m afraid I’ll wake up and find out that everything between us was just a wonderful dream.”
He put his index finger on my lips to shush me. “Never! What we have between us will never be over... as long as I’m alive.”

Their love is very strong. However, people from the past are trying to keep them apart. Fear collides with uncertainty, their love –with trust, which makes the relationship between the two characters very shaky.
The author does a great job in describing the action and the emotions of the characters and it makse us want to read more.
A friend of Alexander puts a hand on Alexia and it complicates the situation even further.
Alexia receives pictures of her loved one which makes her feel extremely insecure – like walking on thin ice. The shady past of Alexander does not help the situation. Alexander is very rich and very desired man with weakness for women. Alexia is afraid that she may lose him. I can feel the fears of the main heroine.

I love that the book is very emotional. When you read the book you would feel as if you are one of the main characters - you will feel their desires, their fears, their passion.
“I love you more than life itself and don’t want to lose you.”

When there is true love, they cannot be influenced by others. At the end of the book you will find out the family secret of Alexander, which he tries to hide from society.

I highly recommend this book for all women who love emotional erotic novels with strong alpha male, mystery, love and very hot scenes.

In volume 3, Alexia has to determine if she can handle Alexander's past and is faced with some pretty difficult decisions when the past is haunting her and could possibly be fatal to her self worth and her body physically.

Alexander and Alexia have a solid relationship and while their love is real they are still finding it difficult to come to terms that they have what it takes to make a future together. They want that future, but tend to use their hot off the charts chemistry (sex on fire let me just say is more tingly in this volume than the other 3. Don't get me wrong the other volumes were on fire too, but oh my the things they try for Alexia's first time is wowzer good in this one) as their leveling device instead of facing the truth and getting questions answered or learning more about them as a whole.

We learn who the person was from the hotel, but there are still questions about why and how they know Alexander? Is Alexia safe? Who is her secret admirer I'll call it? I will say, I think there is a little bundle in this relationship that is blind to them at the moment. My the thoughts if this is true, that I can hear with Alexander and what this means for his 5-10 year plan. It would be quite epic.

We finally learn more about his brother at the end of this volume and we will have to read volume 4 to see the answers we have been waiting for. There is so much more I would like to say, but that would be giving away spoilers and you aren't getting those from me so read on and enjoy the Limits of Destiny volumes just like I have.

What we have will never be over...as long as I'm alive. Holy hotness. This book is drama, mystery, and love in the hottest hotness bag ever!!!! This might be the hottest one yet!!!!
Just when you think it can't possibly get any better...IT DOES!!! I think this might be my favorite. However I'm reluctant to say that it's like picking your favorite sister. LOL Alexia is still questioning her relationship with Alexander after all the revaluations. It is hard for her to believe that she can be enough for him, but for Alexander she is everything. Yes, he has a past that is not the greatest but she finds it hard to leave his past in the past. It seems in this book everyone and everything is against them. Trying to pull them apart. His past just keeps seeping out into their relationship and it becomes hard to deal with. She knows he loves her put when his past smacks her in the face she finds it a little hard to function. Then the unthinkable happens and we get to see a different side of Alexander. Not going to lie we really needed that side. I am a total fan of talk DARK and handsome, but he almost has too much black without white.
With the more of the truth coming out. And ex's running rampant will their love survive? Can she see past the past and move forward with the one she loves while leaving the past behind?? I can't wait to find out!!!

Just let me tell you how much I love this series. First, it is sizzling hot. Yes, you might need a fan. Also, it never gets dull. Things are always happening. Then, as a result of these two things, you just want to keep on reading to find out what is going to happen next. Alexander is a multimillionaire that is very sexy, ver y jealous, and has a past history of a different woman each night, sometimes in the sex club that he used to go to. Alexia is a normal woman that works in the bank, has several ex boyfriends that seem to want to get back with her, and is madly in love with Alexander. Is he going to get tired of her? What about children? What about his brother? I love how each book is a full book, not a short novella. You will want to start at Volume 1 and read all of the books in this series, because they are that good. I received this book from the author in return for an honest review.

Limits of Destiny 3 picks up right where book 2 left off, Alexander quickly clears up the cliffhanger from the last book and they get back to trying to have a normal relationship.
Until Alexia starts to receive threats and photographic proof of Alexander's past.
Hitting her straight in the heart, how will she deal with all of this when she still questions their relationship?
And then the unthinkable happens, she's attacked in her home. Alexander finally shows a bit more of himself while helping her recuperate.
And by the end a little more of Alexanders life comes out, secrets he's kept from her but is now sharing. FINALLY I have something good to say about him! He still hasn't cut ties with someone I believe he should but he's beginning to give just a tiny bit and that's the progress I've been waiting for.

Another well written, highly engaging volume of the Limits of Destiny Series. Can't wait to get to book four.

Let me start by saying that while I thought this was the last book in the series, it's not, lol. Which means that while I was expecting an epic finale for this amazing couple, I was left with more questions and doubts. But on the plus side, I know that I will get at least one more book with Alexia and Alexander, so it's all good:)

After returning to Switzerland and believing that their love was on solid ground Alexia is thrown for a loop when she sees Alexander in the arms of a former lover. Just when it seems as if they will be able to reconcile and move past this, more evidence of Alexander's past comes to light. When Alexia is faced with threatening letters and physical harm, enough is enough. Alexander finally starts to open up to her about his family and past. But will it be too late at this point? I'll just have to wait for the fourth book:)

Once again, we have a Hit! there was a few things that discouraged me regarding the leading characters, like the fact that Alexia doubts Alexander so much but he hasn't really done anything wrong. She talks so much about being in love with him and not wanting to lose him, but then she runs off with re ex to talk things through and get perspective or she goes and has lunch with her boss ( whom is also her ex) in his office and thinks that Alex should be ok with it because she doesn't have feelings for them like she does for him.

Ummmm news flash you already know he's jealous and so are you so why put yourself in that situation. It baffles me how insecure she is, which puts unnecessary strain on there relationship.

other than that love the drama and the scenes are HOT, HOt HOT

I am seriously hooked on this series and cannot wait for the story to unfold in book 4.
The story is fast paced and keeps you gripped wanting to know what's going to happen to Alexander and Alexia in this next installment. Photos from Alexander's past surface to haunt Alexia and fuel her insecurity about their relationship and why Alexander is with her when he can have any girl he wants. Also adding their poison to the mix is Vanessa and her husband Bert who is truly a nasty piece of work. Just how much can one couple take?! Keep going Sharlyn - need the next one.

I was giving a copy of this book in exchanges for my review of Limits of Destiny: Vol.2 (Limits of Destiny, #3)


another cliffhanger and I can't seem to get enough of Alexander and Alexia. There were so many things that were trying to rip them apart but their love for one another are so strong. The only thing that I gets on my nerve is that Alexia is so worried about Alexander going back to his old life style. Her insecurities are just crazy. Why don't Alexander
open up about this brother what so bad about him.

I hope we get hear or at least see his brother pop up in the last book.

I enjoy finding new authors, and hope that I enjoy their books, and as with the first book, this one did not disappoint.
The book continues to follow Alexia and Alexander as they begin living together. Just as everything seems to be going along nicely, and they begin to start their lives together, things happen that test their relationship again. Though I still sometimes find Alexander to be a little too controlling towards Alexia, he makes up for it in various ways.
Will be interesting to see what happens in the next book.
