This finale was EVERYTHING! The intrigue, the double crosses, the disloyalty, the secrets revealed, and the secrets from the past were too much! There was a lot going on in this book. So much that, at times, it felt very soap operaesk. Yes, I know that’s not a real word. Save Me If You Can was a rollercoaster ride full of twists and turns and I so enjoyed the journey. This was a phenomenal series and well worth your time. You will not be disappointed.

Oh my goodness. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and the final book was just as good as the others maybe a little better. The drama. The mystery. The deceit. The connections. The mole! Sis got his ahh!! 😜🤣 I played it back & was like YESSSSS got em!! But anyways honey get your genograms ready bc there are so many connections you’ll definitely need one to keep up LOL. Idk how many times I gasped listening to the audiobook. I had to stop myself from reading ahead with the ebook. Such a good series to read.

Whew! What a ride! Well done Mrs. Jones. Even with all of the chaos I could still feel the love. Fast paced, yet thoughtful and sometimes kind of confusing. A few times I had to squeeze my eyes shut and think really hard about who was related to whom, loving on whom...definitely a brain game. The characters have depth and it was really good to learn their back stories. Christina balances the stories of this ensemble cast well. My preference is for a little less crazy however, the ending is in true Christina "love mode". I highly recommend this series. Do not start with this book. Read all three in order (Catch Me, Release Me, Save Me) to maximize the impact and enjoyment.

Awesome ending to the series! Christina Jones did her thing, much kudos to her. To intertwine the lives of the characters and bring it all to a culmination, simply phenomenal! One of my favorite books by CCJ! Keep flowing in your gift, you wear it well!!!!

Save Me If You Can, the final book in this series, was.... ALOT.
This was the first book that I've ever read by CCJ that was tough for me to get through. Not because the story wasn't good or because I wasn't enjoying it, but because there was just so much going ON.
This book followed so many of the characters and focused on on so many of the different characters' perspective that it was hard at times to stay engrossed in the story because as soon as you started really getting into a scene or emotion, the perspective would change and it would kind of take you out of the story.
That being said, its CCJ and these are characters that I have already grown to love and enjoy so of course this book was still GOOD. I loved all the twists and turns. All the dark and sinister reveals and all of the craziness. There were so many different connections and crossing of paths that I almost want to write everything down on paper to really see the bigger picture.
This series introduces a ton of baggage, secrets, lies and betrayal. But I enjoyed every minute of shouldering that baggage with these characters, revealing all the secrets, shedding light on all the lies and getting vengeance for the betrayals.

Just yes!
We love a good conclusion. There was A LOT going on, it was like a soap opera. But CCJ never disappoints. I love the found family vibe, the second chance at love and the friends to lover aspect. Noelle needs her own book because chile. Sidenote: I hate the get engaged at someone else's wedding thing.... ew.

This. Series. Is. Amazing!
It’s suspenseful without feeling like a bad horror movie. There’s lots of spice, and there’s plot and sweet romance moments to balance it. The way CCJ wove these stories and characters together into this book — I absolutely loved it!
Between the 3 books, there were a-lot of big plot twists that were revealed, but they never felt over the top or forced like I’ve seen happen.
CCJ showcased a lot of morally gray areas in the series which I liked - people aren’t just 100% good or 100% bad. Sometimes bad people put on a front to cover up their wrong doings, and sometimes good people do bad things for the greater good🤷🏾♀️ She also touches on some pretty intense topics in a way that does them justice without seeming exploitative. I can’t say enough good things about this book specifically, and the series as a whole!

And that’s how you wrap up a series! 👏🏾👏🏾 I enjoyed this finale overall but certain parts felt like it was prolonged but maybe I’m just impatient 😂 I figured out a couple of the twists but it still was a crazy ride. So glad that we got a happy ending! Great series, def recommend!

I loved this series. What a way to wrap up it up. It was honestly a movie. All three books had me entertained and I loved it. It ended how I actually saw it would.

This was probably the best of the series. It was definitely better than the others. Everybody was connected to everybody. I enjoyed the ending but I’m glad to be done with this series.

The ending was cool. I’m not in love but it was decent .

I am so glad this book is out and I can stop wondering and obsessing about Naomi, Noelle, Damian, Terry, Savi and the whole crew. This book is the final installment in the 'If You Can' series... an overarching story over three FANTASTICALLY Suspenseful and sexy books.
CCJ put her FOOT in this one. Not only are all of our questions from previous books answered (what really happened to Noelle? Is she alive or what and will Naomi ever see her? Does Damian get what he deserves? Where is Taylor and will Renata get her back? Will Terry King get what's due him? And uhh Agent Barnes...what up with dude? HUH?) but we get the full gamut of emotional stories from each character.
I recognize the hard work that it took to keep these lines together and Christina navigated them beautifully. This is a fabulous novel... though NOT standalone so you do need to read the first two before beginning this one. It won't be a hardship at ALL. The first two are just as good!

WHAT TANGLED WEBS WE WEAVE. CCJ has ended the If You Can Series on an emotional ride full of twists and turns. The whole time I was reading Save Me If You Can, I kept looking at everyone sideways. Who could you really trust? And who had sinister motives. I like that the author gave us a taste of the relationship issues each couple was dealing with this time around. It gave you a chance to see relationships evolve. When the reveals came out as to all the twisty turn relationships the main characters had with one another I couldn't help but be blown away. And let's not forget the romantic scenes between the couples. They will have you fanning yourself and sweating. I'm so sad to see this series end because I so enjoyed it. 5 Stars!

This finale was E V E R Y T H I N G!!! The intrigue, the double-crosses, the connections – woooo! My head is still spinning!
Going into the series, I wasn’t really sure if I was going to like it since I’m not big on suspense/thrillers, but I was truly engrossed from Page 1 of each book. I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll just say that CCJ did an outstanding job with this book and this series. There was a lot going on, but the story flowed and nothing was unclear. This is a new genre for the author, but it was hard to tell. How she made all those connections and kept everything straight boggles my mind, but she did an excellent job.
Great job, CCJ!
p.s. Damien Wolfe *deep sigh*. In the words of Kanye West, 'I'on care what nobody say, I still love him!"

Save Me If You Can
The crew is back strategizing and seeking an end to the case against Terry King and Damien Wolfe. There is a mole in their camp but it was not who I expected. Along the way several working relationships become personal ones with marriage and babies. It was an interesting, yet surprising ending to this trilogy. I recommend it.

Excellent ending to this bad-ass, dark, romantic trilogy from my girl CCJ. I had so much fun with this series, and I cannot wait to continue my way through CCJ's backlist, she just does NOT miss. Who knew romance-suspense would really be THAT girl? Not me. And now I'm hooked. Anyway, someone better option this for a movie series, immediately. I need it!

Part 3, Save Me, was the perfect ending to this trilogy. Loved all the couples! Storyline was dynamic & a definite page turner. Great closure as all the questions were answered. I thought Christina C. Jones did a fantastic job writing this series! Highly recommended!

3.5 stars
This final installment took some unexpected twists and added even more romantic pairings. As with the previous book the characters and pairings got a bit intertwined and confusing, but the plot was solid and made this book an overall win.
In the Release Me If You Can I had confusion with the characters and while I was less confused on who was whom in Save Me If You Can, I did struggle with just how very similar they were. If I heard a name, I knew who we were talking about, but where I got confused was some of the back stories. Everyone's life is so intertwined (which is part of the plot twists of this book and the series really) but as brilliant as it is for the plot, it gets a bit much for the characters. I think if each book had been focused primarily on one couple, and just their POVs, like in the first book - Catch Me If You Can - that would have worked a lot better. Let me see the other couples' progression, sure, but through just 2 POVs. All the POVs just muddied the already hazy water.
That said, I did really enjoy all the characters and pairings. There were some pretty sexy moments, romantic moments, and heart wrenching moments. And that's just the romance. The plot was equally complex - with shocks, twists and gut drops. And things did not end up the way I expected, which was also cool. I like when I'm fooled and get a less predictable conclusion.
The narration was good - I really enjoy Leon Nixon and Wesleigh Siobhan. I do think they help a bit with keeping characters straight (I was uncertain if the voices were inconsistent in the last book, and I don't think they are). I listened at 2x and enjoyed the performance!

This series is better as a collection because CCJ laid the ground work from book 1 and with each book things got more complicated with higher stakes. Idk if the ending was enough because we were certainly taken for a ride and felt like we just had to wrap it up. I think everyone (mostly) got what they wanted for an ending but these HEAs were hard fought. Jesus the lengths of revenge ran deep though like decades deep with tons of psychological revenge.

I’m happy with the conclusion of this book. I loved how the character development in the other two books led to understanding everyone’s role in each others lives as well as their mission. It seems like a lifetime of action & drama.
In the end it was all worth it. This was a good read; so much happening in every page of the book. Keeps your attention.

Ok, I didn't see most of that coming. This book makes the theory of six degrees of separation seem like child's play. I had to stop reading several times just to connect the dots. Another awesome story and series by Mrs. Jones!
