So, Absorbing White starts off where Feeling White leaves us and right from the start we are thrown straight into the thick and are left to flounder scratching our heads in confusion, What the hell is going on?
I felt like I had been plunged into an episode of the twilight zone and hadn't been given a script.
Such is the brilliance of this series, never having a clue where the tale will take us next, you think you know where your heading then out of the blue
BAM!!!
Everythings topsy turvy.
just as Alex excels with his head games so does our wordsmith Miss Hart and this makes for never a dull moment in our saga, constantly keeping us on our toes and chasing our tails.
So Absorbing white gives us a much deeper insight and finally brings Pascal centre stage, which he so deserves with his theatrical persona and sexy stick and we finally get to really scrape beneath the pretence, outing and revealing things that were hidden.
I also found myself much less comfortable with certain things in this book, it really stretched my boundaries and I found myself questioning my concepts of what is normal and who gets to decide these things.
This is a so much darker read than previous books which I wasn't expecting at all, but contrary to this fact, I really enjoyed absorbing White, my only gripe would be the ending.
I felt the finale was a bit unresolved, maybe, I'm hoping there possibly might be a book four on the horizon fingers crossed from me.
So in conclusion really enjoyable read that stretched my boundaries and really kept me guessing.
Oh, and sister Belle was back in major BITCH MODE!!!
Knew it was too good to last, Beth? just disown the bossy cow
just thought i'd mention it lol so do enjoy all that is White.
I know I did.

When I began this story I wondered what Charlotte Hart was trying to achieve with the storyline and the characters and the first thing that came to mind that it read like a game of chess.
The structure of chess is clear - White always moves first and the other players take turns. Players can only move one piece at a time and the player can only take pieces when they encounter their opponent in their way or "movement path".
There are a number of players in Chess (bit like this trilogy) but the objective of the game is to 'checkmate' - block the King so that there is no escape - game over.
I wondered what planet Alex White was living on. I became fed up with the same rhetoric that "no matter how f***ed up you were" love would find a way through. Well, it didn't in this story because no matter what she did to show him what love was and how much she loved him he blocked her.It was his way on nothing - a bit like the direction the Queen moves on a chessboard - she can move direct or diagonally but not any other way or she is blocked.
Alex White was not one of those damaged dominants that we have met in other similar stories. You know the ones that find redemption in the arms of the woman he loved. Nope, he wasn't that man. For me, he was no dominant and neither was he an alpha male. He was a sadistic tyrant, a conceited bastard who enjoyed torturing women but he was also a man who blamed everyone for the way he was instead of looking closer to home. He was who he was because he chose to be. It was all down to him.
Alex reminded me of the King. His aim was to win at all costs. He attacked, his intent was to capture and block anything that got between him and his goal. His aim was to win regardless.
Beth couldn't make her mind up. One minute she loved him, the next she hated him. She allowed Alex to treat her appallingly all in the name of love. She moves from being an insecure woman to trying to convince herself that she was stronger. Similar to the Queen on the Chessboard moving from one direction to the other depending on the given situation.
The Pawn? well, that was Pascal...... unique because like the Pawn is the only piece that can move in one direction and capture in a different direction. The world that Pascal occupied is full of depravity and for him, there is nothing 'off-limits' similar to the function of the Pawn. It can turn into a Queen, Knight or Rook depending on how the game progresses.
So if you want to read a story about unending and forgiving love. It's not there. This trilogy won't leave you with a warm smiling feeling. It will leave you asking WTF happened?
This trilogy was contrived, overdone and tedious and by the time I closed the last page the game was lost for me. There was no Checkmate.
I would bet that there is gonny be a book 4 as the game continues, doesn't it?

Hmmm I don't even know where to start with this review! I have literally just finished the third installment of this series and my mind is reeling.
So... book 1 Seeing White I enjoyed, it felt like a mix of pretty woman and fifty shades to start with and I prepared myself for the same old, same old! Did not happen! Book 2 Feeling White gave me the feels, the love, the connection, the tortured soul etc and I couldn't get through it quick enough. Then this book... I hated the start, I did, I hated Alex for what he did on that bloody plane and I wanted to stop reading. At the time the thought of a 3 star rating rattled around in my head because I wanted the love story. But... again I couldn't stop reading! A sure sign that the author is doing her job well. I love when a story pulls so many varying emotions from me and this book did just that!
I'm struggling to sum it up without giving any spoilers but Pascal features heavily in this, at times I didn't enjoy where it went because I wanted it to be about Alex and Beth but then from nowhere I loved Pascal, the dynamic still didn't sit quite right with me but the story just worked.
The ending is soooo annoying but at the same time I'm glad it wasn't the predictable - get married, have kids, live happily ever after. I really hope there will be a follow up, I can't be left hanging like that (see what I did there?)lol.
Even while I've been writing this review (which is the longest I've ever written) I've been changing the star rating because I just can't decide. This will be one of those books that I won't be able to stop thinking about for a while and therefore deserves the full 5 stars!

JUST OMG>>>>>>>WOW>>>>>
I'm not really sure where to go with this one. I don't wanna give much away. It's a book best read for yourself, then delve into the reviews or have a group chat about what you did and didn't like and why. We all knew Alex was effed up seven ways to Sunday so is it really shocking seeing where he came from? Is it wholly unbelievable that he would treat Beth in such a way? I commend Charlotte Hart for not giving us a stereotypical alpha bad boy. I rejoiced in the way the characters held their own, stayed true to the way they've been throughout this series. While I DID want Alex and Beth to get their glorious HEA with the white picket fence and the 2.5 children, dog and a cat...I'm SO glad it didn't go there. I'm so happy that things are just as complicated and just as beautiful in it's unusualness...that there wasn't a final chapter stating, Alex loved Beth, proposed and they settled down happily ever after with just a spanking here and there. Damn Woman....kudo's for sticking true to the story and not caving to give your characters that typical HEA. Pascal, Alex, Elizabeth...they all have something that each of them needs...can't wait for things in Pascal's story! And if you decide to revisit Alex and Beth, that would be awesome too....

Ok, I cried! I'll tell you why shall I...it's too bloody beautiful!
My heart aches for these 3 wonderful characters
In my review for Feeling White I said that this was going to be a belter...I wasn't wrong!
Beth has grown into one hell of a woman throughout this trilogy. She is feisty, sensual, confused, strong, loving, funny, dedicated....I could go on! She is the complete opposite of the Beth we met at the very beginning and her story to this place is jam packed.
Alexander...this time we see the weakness, the fear, the history. He's still the big bad Mr White we know and love but there's that sense of reality hanging over him this time that just give you the feels.
Pascal....My God, I love that man. Absorbing White really solidified his presence in this relationship for me. He's stolen my heart. His secrets have finally come to light and boy, do they shed some light on things.
The story as a whole is outstanding. It's got the kink you would expect from Ms Hart, but this time we see a shed load more love and passion combined. There's also quite a bit of non bedroom action; violence, despair, and quite a bit of death! It's heart breaking yet heart warming. Witty and light hearted yet dark and dangerous.
Me Hart has done a fantastic job of bringing the words and characters to life. I can see in my mind's eye the way the characters look at each other, I can imagine the love that in their eyes, feel the tension and passion in the room, the exhilaration, the fear and terror.
I am also really pleased that while this series doesn't end in tears, it's not particularly a happily ever after either. This isn't the usual wedding, pregnancy and a dog type situation. It is what it needed to be, followed the path in the best possible direction and ended just the way I hoped it would!

Well I have finally finished this book and I still must give it 5 stars, it is very different to the Dom that we all know in our books but it wasn't as dark as I thought it would be, yes it was dark in places if Elizabeth was more timid or frightened then maybe I wouldn't of liked it so much but where she stuck up for herself and wanted what he delivered I think it was a very good read, saying that I'm not happy with the ending of the book and I'm hoping there will be another one as there are still questions to be answered?, Pascal I love so much I love how all 3 of them connect together and when Elizabeth needs him he's always there for her and the love Alex and him also have, but need more to understand the rest of the story so let's hope there is another one!!!!
January 11, 2016
I'm torn! I want to like you, Mr. White, but I'm not sure if I can! Please let there be more to your story...

I don't know were to start with this review
I was so looking forward to this book but was really disappointed .im not saying I dislike the book cos I couldn't wait to finish but all the time I was like what ,why ,no.. I love twist and turns in a book which this as .
I thought yes poor Alex white damaged, tortured soul but with the love of Beth she will help to heal him but no .. Alex white is a sadist and yes I get he's damaged and yes I get he's a dominant man but there is a difference between the two for me
I expected more I didn't like the plane scene I couldn't understand how he could do that to Beth when he said he loved her .yes he wanted her to see his dark side but if he loved her he wouldn't have done it in that way. I also didn't like the scene at Eden neither because again if he loved beth and she was his angel he wouldn't have done it .I get his heads fucked up but the way he was portrayed in the other 2 books he just would not do that to her
then there's Beth and when she was trying to be dominant it just did not ring true with me .
Also there is Pascal I get the threesome and I get Alex is confused about his feelings for Pascal but Alex is portrayed as a possessive jealous alpha and in my mind he might have liked the threesome but I just feel he wouldn't have let it be like it was after ...
I felt it had a touch of fifty shades, this man, crossfire series and heart of stone series(mason, Kane and ava) which I love all the men in these books... Its left me feeling confused ... that saying I do hope there is another book and all questions are answered

Book 3 is a rollercoaster and I often found myself wanting to throw the kindle or reach into it and strangle Alexander.
The first few chapters were very difficult and I really empathized with Beth – each time she thinks she knows what’s going on and feels confident in herself and where she fits in the game – the board changes and there are new rules!
There is a lot more of the background of the secondary characters/stories, however it is does not detract or derail the main story - Pascal is a delicious, deviant, dominant Mister Miyagi in this one – while still being as enigmatic as ever – I began to think I could actually understand the method to his madness in this installment as well as the way Alex thinks.
I would call this one a happily ever – for now, as there are a lot of unfinished threads from this series that I am absolutely dying of curiosity about and I am hoping will be addressed in the next series about ‘VDP’.
Absolutely recommend the series!

Clearly I wanted to continue the torture. NO, i just didn't want to leave a book in the middle of it. So, as a glutton for punishment, I started book 3.
We get introduced to this new guy, AP. He's a mafia boss. And at this time, I was already summarizing Alex: billionaire, ex mafia, fighter, dom, sadist, abused child. I thought... ok. Maybe he's really has that much life experience. And our heroine was a cook, baker, pianist, chess player, speed maniac, sub, masochist. Ok... they had so much going on. (I had nothing against it or whatsoever, i just wanted to rant)
Anyways, book 2 ends with the heroine getting dumped into an airplane to new york against her will. She was crying, shaking, and all that fear oozing out... and what does the hero do? Chuckle. I clearly had some issues here. I know he's a sadist and all, but he's claiming to love her for Christ's sake! And what happens in the beginning of book 3 wants me to hurl my ebook away!!!
Remember that flight attendant named Tara who had most definitlely had sex with Alex before? Well, she's on this plane. And since the heroine is too scared and confused with what she'd learned, he goes out the private room and plays with Tara. Yes, Beth goes out and sees Tara naked. CLEARLY, AGAIN WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!! ALEXANDER WHITE, I hated this hero.
That's not the END of it. Tara as instructed by Alex gets it on with Beth. Yep, MFF?! NOOOO!!!! And, Alex dips his fingers into Tara and they get on with it while Beth is clearly crying and telling him to stop STOP!!! Alex doesn't listen of course. And Beth gets a knife and holds it in Tara's neck to stop them. Inner Alex's monologue goes around to getting aroused with Beth's reaction. What.am.i.reading??? If I was Beth i would stab Alex instead and get rid of him.
After reading thst, i jumped to the last page of the book without reading the middle part. I just didn't care anymore. And sad to say... is there's a book 4?! Nope. I don't think I'll be reading any more of this.
F*ck my personal rule on not finishing a series.
WHITE trilogy started as good, to worse, to arse.

I don't think I've ever, in all the books I've read, had such a change of heart about a character in an instant like I experienced during the first two chapters of Absorbing White. They were so hard to read because I can get very attached to characters and I certainly have with this couple, but my feelings instantly changed about Alex and I absolutely loved this! That particular scene was incredible because of the effects that the authors words had on me, and set the book up perfectly for what I was about to read.
You will have read the first two books in the series by now, so you are aware of the troubled background of Alexander White. I felt that love had changed Alex and I think that's why I was affected so strongly by his actions towards Beth, who is the love of his life. We had been warned and indeed have already seen what Alex is capable of, and I really appreciated how the author wrote this book so to give me further understanding of the person that Alex is and why he needs to do what he needs to do. Beth is his perfect partner. She has changed so much over the past three books but even though she is happy and willing to be the person that Alex needs, there were scenes where I could see she is still the Beth that we first met and loved, and I valued this.
Once again I did not want to put this book down until I had reached the end. I'm aware that Pascal Van Der Braack's story is there to be read and I believe that hearing his side of the story will give further insight into the world that both Alex and Pascal are a part of. I would love to know what happens next to Alex, Beth and Pascal, and also Belle and Conner too. I do think there will be more about this story as there is a certain character who I wonder if we will see more from - you will know who I am referring to when you get to the end of the book.
Absorbing White is a fabulous and gripping read, just like the first two books in this trilogy. I am certain that I will be spending the next few days thinking about this story and I hope you will enjoy the trilogy as much as I have.

I felt that love had changed Alex and I think that's why I was affected so strongly by his actions towards Beth, who is the love of his life. We had been warned and indeed have already seen what Alex is capable of, and I really appreciated how the author wrote this book so to give me further understanding of the person that Alex is and why he needs to do what he needs to do. Beth is his perfect partner. She has changed so much over the past three books but even though she is happy and willing to be the person that Alex needs, there were scenes where I could see she is still the Beth that we first met and loved, and I valued this.
Once again I did not want to put this book down until I had reached the end. I'm aware that Pascal Van Der Braack's story is there to be read and I believe that hearing his side of the story will give further insight into the world that both Alex and Pascal are a part of. I would love to know what happens next to Alex, Beth and Pascal, and also Belle and Conner too. I do think there will be more about this story as there is a certain character who I wonder if we will see more from - you will know who I am referring to when you get to the end of the book.
Absorbing White is a fabulous and gripping read, just like the first two books in this trilogy. I am certain that I will be spending the next few days thinking about this story and I hope you will enjoy the trilogy as much as I have.

Let me say that the first 5 chapters of this book had me hot/mad/devastated/turned on/crying/pissed. That being said – I couldn’t put it down! Had to re-read! My emotions were all over the place in this third book of the series. This book incorporates all of the elements that we find in Alexander White – the good, the bad and the extremely sadistic. We get most of our answers to probing questions in this book.
Beth has grown so much in this series – strong and loyal but embracing her submissive side with Pascale and their Alpha-Male Alex. How she manages all of the mood swings and power struggles is beyond me. How she stays with him is a testament to her overwhelming love and connection to him.
Pascale is priceless – have loved him since the beginning. Hot, sadistic and damaged – his story has to come out fully! Connected to Beth and Alex, he is a force!
This book goes up and down like an elevator – always on your toes with each chapter. The ending had me hanging a bit but I didn’t know it continues with “The Parlour” VDB Trilogy. I will be looking forward to the continuation of this series!!!

It's been a while since I finished this book, and I'm still struggling to arrange my thoughts on it into some sort of order.
The third in the White trilogy, this book goes deeper and darker than any of its predecessors. Here, we truly see the depths of Alexander White's soul and the darkness that lurks there in the scars from his past. We see what is almost a power struggle between the three key characters. Elizabeth truly comes into her own in this book, becoming feistier and stronger in order to stand up to the two men in her life who could so easily become over powering to her if she wasn't.
The ending, while not a heart and flowers, skipping off into the sunshine with babies and weddings, fits the story much, much better. It felt right for it to end the way it did, and certainly gives us the hope that we will see their story furthered in future books.
This trilogy, at its heart, is about imperfect people finding people who, while equally flawed, are perfect for them.
I look forward to what will come next from this author!

Absorbing white By Charlotte E Hart
*sighs* Ive finished book 3, Hangover doesn’t even cut it right now! Im lost, I need more but what and incredible end to an amazing set of books! Im now moving on to VDB which is a spin off trilogy from this set of books. Its been such a long time since I devoured books the way I have these nd it was nice to really enjoy reading again!
I don’t honestly know how many more nice things I can say about this trilogy. It really is everything that you want from a book. I forgot everything and everyone around me while reading this story. I read the whole trilogy in 72 hours!
It really does have everything you want! Descriptions, emotions, twists, turns and a faultless plot line. Characters you can relate to and feel like you have known them all your life!
Its going to take a while to get over this book! I purposely slowed my reading down in the last 10% of the book just to drag it out a little bit longer.
Charlotte honestly thank you for such an incredible journey!
5* from me!

I am soooo angry, what a shit fucking end to a trilogy
WTF, I’ve put my heart and soul to this story, to the characters, gone through so many emotions for that ending pleeeeesssse!!
I’m done!!!!!.......not happy at all!!!!
I feel so so flat ....I thought I’d get an epilogue of an ending it should of unlikely had like all hearts and flowers, that they could now be a “normal couple wanting kids and a family life’ ..... but no ends as abrupt as Alex white was and I guess that’s the meaning to it all

This book goes up and down like a roller coaster but I still like it.
January 15, 2019
Oh man just when you think you know where the story is going, then you see the wall.... you try to hit the breaks.....only to be turned in the opposite direction and headed downhill with no breaks. But its one heck of a roller coaster ride!! Buckle your seat belts folks and hang on!

This was the worst 'romance' book I've ever read - worse than Crossfire and the other ones I've called 'the worst ones' before. Interesting that I can still be shocked/surprised.
I can't leave a book series unfinished and it's been the elephant on my Kindle. At 43% I finally skipped to the end. This was a terrible, sickening read.
This review and this review also sum it up well.
There's nothing romantic about this, it's a very disturbing book series where I am still wondering if the author had a mental breakdown as per my review of Feeling White. Also, the series is weirdly named: Seeing White, Feeling White, Absorbing White? Ugh. What will book 4 be? Fucked up White?

First of all, this is a rating of all 3 books.
I already read the whole series and am not dissecting my view of the complete story.
I have a hard time reviewing this series as it is. And apologies in advance for the long but hopefully not to confusing review.
It is well written, the storyline is good and i enjoyed this dark erotic romance.
Besides the plot is really nothing new. For me it appeared to be just a darker, rawer and more complex version of "50 shades of grey".
There are also a lot of parallels to the book "This man" from Jodi Ellen Malpes and other top books in this genre. It is not really a bad thing. There were a few moments in this series where i was relegated to memories of these other books, remembering, but in a good way.
We have a hero, mentally and physically abused as a child. Inability to deal with and therefore suppressed emotions, turning into a control needing alpha. He has more than sadistic tendencies. Of course he is bloody beautiful and rich.
We have the naive, shy and good hearted heroine. Of course she is bloody beautiful and of course not aware of it. Mixed in with some cool friends and a passion for cooking.
The story evolves around the relationship between Alexander White and Elizabeth with a strong sexual focus as the plot unfolds and is in some aspects well thought through but in others lacking for my taste. The slow and mature introduction into his sexual preferences is very appealing. But at some point it drags a little as the relationship gets more intimate and develops, with his inability to emotionally connect and her journey to embrace life and get out of her shell.
The emotional components were sometimes described over the top and endlessly.
The sex scenes were sometimes very confusing to imagine in a physical matter. I found myself often thinking, there should be no room, or wasn't she not pressed to the wall from the other side. Well, anyway. The descriptions sometimes just were confusing. The surroundings were at times described in detail were i would not have needed it. And lacked when i was interested in what is going on around. Like in some clubs.
The personalities were complex and intriguing. But i found both personalities at varying points in the story not very well thought through Or at least not very well developed for me as a reader to comprehend some drastic changes at this point in the story.
For example:
His change to embrace his full sadistic and controlling alpha self. By finally revealing all of himself, he did a one-eighty and it appeared that the Mr. White we got to know before never existed anymore afterwards.
Her strong tendencies to be a pain-slut, where did that come from? Her strong attraction to Pascal, were did that come from? I did not even see that coming? Her self-abandonment and fully devotion to his needs, were did that come from? Either the characters or me as a reader were not prepared well enough by the author in the progress and development of the book so far, to comprehend that. She did not appear to me nor was there given any sufficient background of a history to her upbringing to indicate such personality.
For example: the first meeting and introduction of Pascal. When i think of the heroine and her everyday good girl personality at this point. Who then in the bloody world would stand transfixed and enamored by a man, in front of a nightclub, who has not one minute ago kicked another man to the curb and peed on him in front of me and is now kissing his way from my hand up to my neck? While additionally i might add, the otherworldly most beautiful man i am with, stands next to me?
This is just idiotic for me, i am sorry. I couldn't comprehend that one bit.
But maybe all of this comes down to one major issue i had with this book. And the more i think of it, it makes sense.
On the one hand we have depth. Complex, intriguing and dark personalities. Their first meeting, their first emotional and physical attraction. Their struggles to bond and grow with each other. The psychological struggles and developments.
And then on the other hand, throughout the whole series it always ends up or comes down to one thing. How bloody beautiful this people look like. The superficial point of view that erases all real and authentic aspects for me.
The physical descriptions of how beautiful, knee buckling and drool worth the people look is ridiculously detailed and repetitive. This over the top and repetitive focus on the physical, otherworldly beauty of people turns at one point actually to be pathetic and annoying, it subtracts from the quality and intellect of this book enormously.
This glorification and worshipping of how people look, appeared also sometimes at critical points in their relationship, to give him/her everything they want. And that is never a good enough reason.
Then there were some inconsistencies. Strands of the plot were just thrown out, but never picked up again. Like his visit with a psychologist. His family, the aunt side and his fathers side. Thrown in, never heard of it again. Left in the open, unfinished and never included in the plot anymore.
I also found it very hard to accept, he was molded by his fathers abuse. Therefore emotional crippled. He ended up struggling to find an outlet for all his hurt and rage as an addict in sex and drugs, as well as a hitman and then puff Pascal decides the best outlet and balance for him is embracing and flourishing his sadistic sexual tendencies. It just felt like he never had an actual say in it at all.
The end left me more than unsatisfied.
And as i was intrigued to those 3 in a trio relationship and their progress and what they would become, i am not really inclined to read about Pascal and a new main character. That defeats the whole purpose for me.

I think pascal is very much needed
How am I meant to go to work tomorrow and concentrate knowing what’s unreaveling What a whirlwind of emotions this series has taken me on ,
I’m speechless....
I’ve loved them all hates them all at times ,felt their love ,their pain their struggles .
I’ve been on the edge of me seat so many times held my breath not knowing what was coming up next, I’ve lost so much sleep because it’s always 1 more chapter... and then boom something happens (in every chapter) so it’s just 1 more then go to sleep. Even when I manage to stop and put my kindle down there all in my head and I’m trying to think what else? What other emotions can this book rip from me without me knowing until I’m feeling it
I need more quite frankly.... I hope The parlour will carry this epic story on I hope the 3 of them get there happy ever after I’m seriously hoping for a pascal and Alex loving its like 1500 pages of for play we all deserve that scene to be in our minds 😉
It really is sleep time I’m not even downloading The Parlor until I get a decent night sleep. So that story is for tomorrow... don’t think I’ll be doing much at work do you lol

Bdsm
So our trio returns in finding a path of love, control and beating. Liked the story but too many lose ends. The sister and the Chinese purchase, henry, his father.
Alex turning into a bdsm fiend with no stopping.
Good characters and dialogue. Elizabeth turned from a shy flower into a thorn ridden rose.
Although I liked the storyline I didn't like the direction. Elizabeth changed too much and Alex turned into his father.
I felt sorry for pascel, he was a tortured soul and neither he or Elizabeth deserved what Alex did to them. Abuse isn't love. They both needed protecting from Alex who in this book lost his identity and embraced his darkside.
Over all three books there was some editing errors letters missing from words of the wrong word utilized but the saving grace is the story.
One of the better written bdsm books out there and worth a look if you don't mind graphic descriptions of abuse. Not really my cup of tea but the storyline was just engrossing and in my opinion didn't need it because I was invested in the romance.
Just as a personal note if my boyfriend did what Alex did on the plane I would have dumped him out of it. Elizabeth lost herself.

WHAT A RIDE!!!!
This review is for the entire trilogy, not just this book.
I was ambivalent about the first book. I couldn’t help drawing comparisons between this and the Grey story. While the situation had some differences, there were a lot of similar scenes.
I almost didn’t read the second book.
That would have been a mistake. After reading some of the reviews, I dove in. I am so glad I did. The story became deeper and so much more engaging. Soooo not like fifty whatever, thank god. One was enough, right?
The third book was the darkest, naughtiest, and most consuming. I couldn’t put it down. My family is leaving for vacation tomorrow, and I haven’t packed a thing because I literally could not walk away.
It’s a long trilogy, but well worth it. I am definitely picking up the books for Pascal’s POV.

I feel like I'm in wanting. Wanting more. Needing more. I know we can't always expect a happy ending, but where this ended. Argh!!!
I feel like he justifies his horrible actions because of what's happened to him. Which in my eyes is not good enough. And that Pascal has been feeding this idea too. I feel like they both kind of keep pushing Beth out. But I really want her to find her voice and put these men back in their places.
I get that she hadn't been through anything like him. But the way he treated her on the plane was abhorrent, and still that topic has not really been broached. And she's much more tolerant than I, to put up with what she has from him.
But part of be still wants them to get their happy ending.
Probably not as important, but I found this book to be absolutely full of typos. Spelling, grammar and punctuation. Editing needs to be much more stringent.

Annoying
After buying all three books in this trilogy I was very disappointed to get to the end of book 3 and it was left with no ending. Ugh. This is no way to promote your books. I will not be buying any more of this authors books for that reason. When it states a trilogy that then should have an ending, there was so many questions unanswered. Annoyed that I paid for these books.

Absorbing White
Amazing story, amazing, very hot smex! The way Charlotte writes about what is going on in Alex’s head is amazing. You think that Alex is some kind of psycho (which he is of some sorts because of what his father did to him when he was young) but you get to understand what is in his head & why he reacts like he does. I shall certainly be reading more of Charlotte E Hart books!

Exceptional
Anger, confusion, disbelief, happiness, and sadness describes all the emotions this book will draw from the reader. Alexander White, was quite a character with the many demons that hunted him, but at times, seemed to control them all. This book is a must read!

I have been impressed with this trilogy but I found this last book a little more difficult to get through than the other two but I can't put my finger on why. Don't get me wrong it's a fabulous series of books and I am looking forward to reading the next series of books - VDB.
