This series is going to drive me to drink and I'm planning on making the sadists that are Taryn and Cari my sponsors, because that's the least of what they owe me for putting me through these cliffhangers. But then again, I'm a willing victim, because these books are my crack. Just as I think I got one thing figured out, a whole new twist is thrown into the game and it leaves my mind reeling once more.
Volume two ended with Blake firing Grace after their turbulent and explosive affair. Grace is dealing with the aftermath of not only realizing that what she ultimately went to Blake for, she'll never get. And what she wants from him now, he'll never give.
But a fire that rages between them is too hot to resist, and it's not long before Blake is following after Grace once more and the passion between them ignites once more.
I'm not typically a reader that enjoys serials, because more often then not they're missing that character and relationship development that makes me truly invested in a couple. This is what I've come to really appreciate in The Boss. Cari and Taryn give you multi faceted characters and a superbly developed story that goes far beyond just an erotic tryst. There's mystery, intrigue, a bit of suspense, and of course the hot and sexy loving.
In just under 100 pages, the authors manages to hook me each and every time and leave me salivating for more. There's more pieces added to the puzzle. And the fact that each installment is told in either Grace or Blake's POV allows you to really get to know them and get in their heads.
Then of course they hit you with that cliffy with all the impact of a damn two by four, and leave you rocking in a dark corner while crying for your mama in the wait for the next book.

He filled me up, demanded everything. He even barked orders for my orgasms.
I wanted to give it to him.

Book 3 alternates and is told from Grace's POV. She now has to deal with the fallout and breakdown of her and Blake's relationship. The only good thing about their breakup is that it's given her inspiration to finish the sculpture she's been working on.
Her old boss at the art gallery request her help with a show. When one artist doesn't show up with his art there is an opening and a chance for her to show off her new piece, "Fallen Angel." But when she finds out who buys her sculpture, she looses it. When she heads over to confront him her secrets come out instead. If she's going to lose him at least he will know everything.
Just as they seem to be working through their differences a curve ball is thrown at them and we are left with another cliffhanger and more questions. Now unfortunately for me, I read too fast and have to wait a few more weeks before the next book is released. I'm really enjoying this series so far and hope that if you pick it up you will too.

Blindingly hot and gripping. I’ve reached to point of no return, the only reason I’ll be able to put this serial down is because it’s not yet complete.
She used to live in her grandmother’s house, now he owns it but someone has been breaking in and is willing to get shot at to find its secrets. But not even its past resident or current owner knows what its hiding.
While the push and pull between Blake and Grace continues to grow in its intensity, so does the intrigue. Grace had gone to Blake in order to try and somehow convince him to return her grandmother’s house to her but got caught in his seductive vortex and left her original plan in the background. She found out that she not only wanted to be his lover, but also work for the “alphahole.” But his hot and cold attitude has reminded Grace of what’s at stake for her.
This third part of the serial picks up right where the previous left off, when Blake fires Grace right after they have mind blowing, soul shattering sex on Blake’s office building rooftop. Now told from Grace’s point of view, she’s picking up the pieces and realizes that getting her grandmother’s house back is as futile as getting her brooding ex-boss to open up and give in.
Like a moth to a flame though, Blake simply can’t resist staying away from Grace especially when she’s had enough and finally reveals her true intentions.
Even though the fabulous Cari-Taryn duo have provided more pieces to the puzzle, it’s still not complete and I suspect it won’t be until we get to the very end. I’m completely hooked with yet another twist, these fascinating characters and of course more incredibly sexiness to this well-crafted mystery.
This is the third volume of six in The Boss serial. It is a short read, told from the heroine’s point of view with a cliffhanger. It is strongly advised that these be read in order.

I'm just going to say now that I may not make it until the fourth installment. Cari and Taryn are killing me.
So at the end of volume two, Blake fired Grace because some truths were revealed. Granted not all of them, but enough to make Blake second guess everything that happened between them.
This installment is back to Grace's point of view and oh man, does she break my heart. I think she's close to just being emotionally done in. She misses her Grandma, she lost her house, she's illegally living in the maid's quarters (it's an old house) on the property, she lost her job, and she lost Blake. I think that's around the time your heart just says "Screw it, I'm done. I'm going into hibernation." Grace, however, funnels all that pain into her artwork and ends up creating a completely different style with her "Fallen Angel" piece. Of course, days later when she comes up for air, the pain is still there and so is Thanksgiving. A day she would always spend with her Grandma and now she's spending it alone.
Her friend and former boss, Philomena, calls needing Grace to work an event and Grace jumps at the chance. It gives her something to focus on and as she's unemployed, she could really use the money. Grace should know by now things don't always go as planned.
Here's Blake. He's actually there for such a sweet reason (nope, not telling) and he and Grace end up doing what they do best together. Flipping hot! I swear Cari and Taryn write some fire starting sex scenes. *fans herself*
But is that it? Will they really leave things that way? What does Blake do at the gallery showing that sends Grace over the edge? It seems Blake wants so much more from Grace, with Grace. Can Grace come clean and tell him everything? Blake has alluded numerous times that he's always known who Grace is and has always wanted her. Yet, Blake doesn't know everything and if there's any chance for a future between them, he needs to.
The night doesn't end like either one expected it to. Yes, they talked and yes, they both seem to want to see where this can go and you mentally do a fist pump in excitement that they just may make it. Then real life interrupts and that future may be taken away from them. Three words - epic plot twist.
I highly recommend this to everyone. I'm not usually a fan of serials, yet The Boss quickly won me over. Read them people. *whispers* Make sure your significant other will be home soon, otherwise you will be hurting. *wink*

The Boss: book 3 by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliot just blew me away (again)! I received an ARC from the authors in exchange for an honest review but I would have bought it even so. It was very short, so it only took an hour or so to read! I was amazed when it was finished so quickly, so I went back & read it again. This book is from Grace's POV & just once in awhile she needs a push in the right direction.
Blake & Grace are a mystery, waiting to explode. She's "always" been his - What does that mean? Grace doesn't seem to recognise him, but he knows who she is & what she's hiding from him. These two authors know how to tantalise the reader so well - the carrot dangles before our eyes... so close but just out of reach. Now I'm desperate for the next book, hopefully in Blake's pov. Make sure you read this serial, you won't be disappointed.

Um
In this part of the series, Blake is a little better.
After being fired by Blake, Grace goes back to doing what she does best, creating art. When her friend Philomena calls and ask for her help at an art show Grace is more than willing. Little does she know that Blake is going to creep in and why? Because he thinks it's where she lives because she never told him that she was secretly staying in the maids quarters of her grandmas house, that now belongs to Blake.
They end of having sex again and Blake tries to pull away, but she holds on, needing him to know that it's just not sex to her anymore and he allows her to.

Overall: Blake has just fired Grace and she is in a state of shock because she thought they finally had something good going on. After a few days Blake comes looking for Grace and they hook up again and clues start to come together about why Blake knows Grace and Blake finally learns with Grace lives. The end leaves you with a HUGE cliffhanger.

This is definitely a case of going in knowing there is going to be more and knowing it is going to be really hard having to wait for more. However, I'm glad I read it. Grace and Blake can't stop...hating so much and knowing they want each other. It is so hard...these two are smoking hot together. This one focused more on Grace this time around. Her creative juices are flowing and WOW. You really have to read this series. Start at 1 and slowly work your way to the end - Just like I am!

Things get even more interesting in the third installment of The Boss! Just when I thought things had become clearer between Blake and Grace, a new turn of events has them both stumped! And that ending is so horrible it's wonderful!

This 6 book set is going to kill me. Each one ends with another cliffhanger. I honestly thought that the first 3 books would sum up the whole of the story. Nope! Don't fall for it. On the upside all of the pieces are released so it's not like we have to wait for what happens next.
Blake fired Grace for lying to him. What she lied about he really isn't sure but he knows she lied and is not a big fan of being taken for a fool.
Grace did lie to Blake of course but not for the reasons he thinks. She doesn't want to con him or anything like that. She just was so upset about her current state of affairs and marched to his office to give him a piece of her mind when her whole world turned wonky.
In this book 3 of The Boss series Grace is recovering from being fired and having her heart broken - although she hasn't admitted to herself that her heart is broken. She is pretty much drowning herself in her work when her big chance actually hits and Grace gets the chance to highlight her work at her friend's art gallery.
Blake shows up at the art gallery and the spit hits the fan. Finally Grace has decided to come clean. Lies are exhausting it seems. One thing leads to another and it looks like our hot couple is finally going to get their chance to make a go of things. But, don't get too comfortable. Remember? Cliffhanger....Off to read Book 4.

The Boss: Book Three was fan-freakin-tastic!!! I truly LOVE this series!!! Book 3 is told from Grace's pov and picks up immediately from where book 2 left off. Grace and Blake have broken up and he has fired her. After some time apart, they can't stay away from each other. Both still have secrets but Grace finally reveals some of hers to Blake. These two still have unbelievable chemistry and in this book, it goes deeper than before. There are some major shockers at the end that had me on the edge of my seat. As with the other books in this series, this one has a MAJOR cliffhanger that made me want to throw my device across the room in frustration at having to wait to read the next installment releasing in a month. Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliot are the absolute queens when it comes to the art of a cliffy and they have lived up to that title with this one! They leave you craving the next book ASAP! The Boss: Book Three is another awesome read.

Billionaire, Blake Carson has shaken Grace Copeland's world in several ways. She's definitely not complaining about the mind-blowing sex, but the rest is the problem. The plot thickened in Volume 3 and Grace is wondering what Blake's intentions are. New elements have come into the story and I'm dying to read the next installment. Did Blake leave Grace homeless intentionally? What did he know and when? And what are those tattoos about? This is a fantastic serial. The installments alternate between his and her points-of-view and I love it. There will be six parts total.
December 13, 2015
It's official: I might die waiting for part four. Like for seriously. If Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott were any more awesome as a writing duo, I don't think I could handle the awesome. The Boss Part 3 picks up where 2 left off and instantly captures readers, urging them to keep reading on. This serial keeps getting more and more awesome. I am rooting for Blake and Grace, and I cannot WAIT to see how things continue in the next installment.
July 5, 2016
With each book in the series, I'm more and more invested in the characters. And live tweeting my reads, slowed my reading pace which in turns makes me appreciate the flow of the story. The full review of these books can be found on my blog!

Now that Blake had fired Grace what is she to do. She's lost everything. In black Friday her old boss Philamena calls to get her help at one of her showings. When an artist first show up Grace puts her fallen Angel up for sale. When she finds out Blake bought it she is furious. Will all her secrets come out when she confronts him?? Great read

The third one cliffhanger in a bang
Grace is not being honest with herself or with Blake. They have a steamy relationship and no trust in one another.

Now we're getting somewhere
Some mysteries have been solved and others are just beginning. I think I like Blake best when he isn't talking. Can't wait to see where this is headed.

THE BOSS Volume 3 by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott
ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 10, 2015
I used to be a good girl. Until he tempted me to be bad...
Just one night.
It only took one night to lose my grandmother, the most important person in my life.
Just one night.
That mind-blowing night locked in with my alphahole boss, Blake Carson, made me start to crumble. To forget why I'd made the choices I had and what was at stake.
Just one night.
I risked everything in our seductive game of cat and mouse. Until he cut me loose.
Just one night.
Now he's back, and he's the only one who can save me...or let me fall.
A SIX PART SERIAL with dual points of view, lots of bad words, the creative use of glass-walled rooms, and a beach house that holds a whole lot of secrets. There are all sorts of cliffs in these books, some even include actual rocks. You have been warned.
••••••
REVIEW: THE BOSS Volume 3 is the third installment in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s serialized storyline focusing on billionaire glass entrepreneur Blake Carson, and glass artist Grace Copeland. Their continuing story begins to reveal the truth about Grace’s connection to Blake Carson, but keeps secret Blake’s reasons for keeping secret the sins of his past.
Told from first person point of view (Grace) volume three is a darker installment as Grace must venture out on her own. Her recent art showing nets a wonderful profit but the man behind the sale is a bit of a surprise. What ensues is another sexually graphic and steamy installment where two people are keeping secrets and telling lies. But life is about to get more complicated when Grace and Blake venture back to her grandmother’s house. The premise is exciting and revealing; the characters are beginning to blossom; the relationship is escalating to something more.

"I'm so tired of the lies."
"All we have are the lies, Grace."
Despite, or because of, the incendiary passion that she and Blake Carson share, Grace Copeland finds herself fired from her position at Carson Covenant Glass, and with plenty of time on her hands. With her mind spinning and nothing to fill her days, Grace turns to what she does best, finding solace in the glasswork that she loves so much. But Blake isn't done with her by a long shot, and it isn't long before passions flare out of control.
Gah, Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott are KILLING ME! This is a six-book serial series, and I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be a hot sweaty mess by the time all is said and done. THE BOSS: BOOK THREE is as much a twisty, turny, intrigue-filled read as the previous two. Grace and Blake begin to let down their guard with each other, but we still don't know the secret that Blake is hiding. Oh, sure, we get hints, but there's still plenty of mystery here, mystery and subterfuge.
This piece of the series ends with, you guessed it, a cliffhanger, and it's a doozy. I'm talking edge of my seat, 'what the heck is going on?!' kind of cliffhanger, and I am dying to know what the devil is going on, so hurry up, January, 'cause I can't wait! The usual 5+ stars for this one. Read these books, and thank me later. <3

Book 3 of 6:
After being fired by Blake, Grace goes home. She rips apart the Fallen Angel and works nonstop on it for days, not sleeping or eating. Phil, her friend, prior gallery employer calls in need of her help at the gallery showing. Grace knows that she will get great commissions and agrees to help Phil. She is helping get everything set up when Blake shows up at the gallery. After he leaves Phil tells Grace that one of the main artists that is suppose to provide his latest works has canceled at the last minute and everything will have to be changed to fill the space. Grace tells Phil that she has a piece that could work that she has just finished. Phil tells her to get it. Grace grabs one of the other workers and they ring it back to the gallery. Once the show is under way, Grace finds out there is a bidding war on her Fallen Angel. The winner is of course Blake and Grace is furious. She takes off and drives to Boston and convinces Violet to let her go up to see Blake.
Again, there is so much left to tell, but this will leave you with having to wait for reading this installment of the story and the next book. Cari and Taryn continue to co-write an amazing series, that is short and suspensefull. The steamy sex is hot and the story line is so good that you get frustrated with the waiting for the next book (which is Jan. 2016).
This one ends with not only Blake going to the gallery and the hot sex, but Grace agrees to show and tell.....

Omg! Taryn and Cari are killing me!! I can't wait for Vol 4 after the way they just ended this part! In Vol 3, we pick up where we left off, Grace has just been fired and not only did she lose her job, she lost Blake too.
When her old boss from the gallery calls Grace asking if she can help with an event, Grace jumps at the chance. What she wasn't expecting, was for Blake to walk in. Blake is actually there as a peace offering and of course anytime these two are in the same room, clothes go flying and sexy times start. When Grace gets pulled away to work the event, an artist didn't show and that gives Grace the chance to sell her new piece, Fallen Angel. When a biding war ensues and it's sold for way more than she ever dreamed, she just has to know who bought it.
When Grace goes to find Blake, she decides to tell him the truth, and she takes him to her house, well technically his house. Will Blake be able to get past all the lies? Or are they done for good? You better get to one clicking because you don't want to miss out on this part of Blake and Graces story!

Book 3 is short, sexy, and plot twisting. Yes, you will still be begging for more
This installment goes back to Grace’s POV…How does Grace deal with being fired by Blake? By pouring her heart and soul into a new and most inspiring piece of art. Her “Fallen Angel” piece is her vision of herself, both present and hopeful future. As Grace tries to deal with her emotions, she realizes she is missing too many pieces of the puzzle. As much as she has kept hidden from Blake, he has obviously kept hidden from her as well. “I’ve known your name, longer than I’ve known my own.”. The words haunt her and drive her at the same time.
The anticipation and hotness from the gallery scene was enough to set my panties on fire! The rest of what happens at the gallery I will leave for the reader to find out…and just when you think Grace and Blake may FINALLY get their stuff together and be real for a moment…to be continued…seriously, this series is consuming and leaves you begging and cursing for more…

This installment of The Boss is written from Grace’s POV. This quote from the book helps explain her relationship with Blake: “We were nothing but smoke trapped under glass. We suffocated each other, wrapped around each other, and then dissipated the moment we were set free. Not even an ember left when we were done with each other.”
Blake and Grace continue with the struggle of their secrets and lies. The intensity of their attraction to one another increase tenfold (if that is even possible.) Grace has lost everything dear to her. Her grandmother passing, losing the only family home she knew to foreclosure, her job, and Blake. Blake took her job away, he bought her grandmother’s home out of foreclosure and then he buys her latest stained glass creation. Grace has had enough of Blake taking everything she loves away from her. She goes to confront him. The sparks between them could burn down an entire block of buildings. But a break in at her grandmother’s house and shots fired in the dark could end everything. Part 4 needs to be released soon!!

Just before opening the artist around whom the show was based is a no-show and Phil asks Grace to bring in some of her work. The only thing Grace has is Fallen Angel.
Blake arrives and he and Grace are explosive together. A bidding war for Fallen Angel, a confrontation, and a gunshot…You’ve got to read it.
