Let Me Go #3
Find Me, Keep Me
Originally released as “Find Me, Keep Me” under the name L.L. Akers it has since been released as “The Girl in the Sea” under both L.L. Akers and Lisa Akers
Olivia has a new job; one that unknowingly lands her right smack dab in the middle of a dark, depraved world of prostitution and sex-trafficking.
And to make matters worse, she's finally found someone. She thinks he's everything she wants, but he's strictly an online friend. While he tries to remain hidden behind his avatar, she's at last ready to put her rocky past behind her, if she can convince him to step out from behind the curtain.
But when she invites her anonymous friend to her sister's wedding on the beautiful, beachy, sub-tropical haven of Bald Head Island, he says no; he's not yet ready to reveal his true identity. Instead, along with an unexpected squall that blows in, Grayson--the mysterious brother of the groom--arrives.
Olivia is rightfully wary of Grayson. He's a dangerous, real, flesh and blood man, after all. So, when her own heart beats out a warning tempo, she takes heed. Danger finds her anyway, as the beach is slammed with murderous hurricane winds, and the two are thrust together.
All is not as it seems, and she must dig deep if she is to unmask the mystery of the man, and save herself, by forcing him to confront his own inner storms and secrets, while he battles his two biggest demons: revenge and redemption.
Fiction: Romantic Suspense, Psychological Suspense, Family Saga
Trigger Warnings: abduction, vague references to prostitution and sex trafficking, violence to women

Couldn't put down
I have read all three books in the Trilogy & couldn't put them down. I felt all the emotions from sadness, anger, love, scared, happy, you name it.

A fantastic tale of survival.
This is book three in to series but can be read as a standalone. But I defiantly will go back to read the first two.
This book drew me in. I wasn't to sure what to expect I went in blind. I was blown away. This deeply hear wrenching tale was just the perfect balance of anguish, mystery and romance.
I'll for sure look out for future releases. Bring on fatefully unfree xx

Although this is the third book in a series, I read it as a stand alone. I fell in love after the first chapter. The characters are so well written that they draw you into the story. The story line is so well thought out. it is not your usual plot line. I highly recommend you read this book. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out. I plan to go back and read the first two books to catch up on the rest of the story.

This book was given to me by Rebecca Hamilton in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Really enjoyable read that in the end I read in the day. Plenty of twists and turns and some of the characters need a good slap . Smoothly written with good dialogue and some pretty graphic scary scenes in the story line. Part of a series but a stand alone novel . Definitely one for the to read shelf

*3.5 Stars*
I received this book as an ARC a long time ago...so long ago the title was different. Akers changed the titles of all the books in the trilogy but I don't know if the content changed or not. So I'm letting you know my review is of the ARC. I'm certain the overall story didn't change though and it was a good one.
What Worked:
*Format
After having met and coming to adore these 3 sisters, I was grateful that the early portions of the book included their POVs along with Olivia's - who was the MC. We also got Grayson's POV - the other MC - and that not only enhanced his character but also amped the suspense.
*Story
While Akers has always tackled difficult subject matter - abuse, PTSD - she incorporated a relevant subject in this story...human trafficking. I'm excited over the fact that she apparently did some spinoffs of this series that delve further into this element and I'll pick up those but in The Girl in the Sea, I admired the fact she didn't stray too far from her "roots" so to speak, focusing on the themes she's made the heart of this trilogy - survival, redemption, forgiveness, and strong familial bonds. Those are the things that kept me riveted to her books in the first place. We not only get Olivia's story - seeing how tights she is with her sisters after all they've survived - but we also get Grayson's, who is the brother of Olivia's younger sister's fiance. I like and am invested in all these characters and I appreciate Akers giving us this tight-knit group of "family". I also appreciated the suspense elements - and there were a few. I found myself worrying over how things would unfold and I admit to not having guessed parts of the outcome.
What Could Have Worked Better:

There were certain areas that felt a little rushed and I feel like would have had more of an impact if things had been fleshed out a little more.

The Girl in the Sea was a good read and I'm kicking myself for having let this languish for so long. I will be looking into more from Akers for certain. I want to add that I'm rather certain, having looked at the difference in page count from the original publishing to the current one, that Akers did flesh out the areas I felt needed fleshing out. I'll have to see about getting an updated version. :)

WOW
How does she do it? Book after book , the next better than the last, this book was very emotional, I love the way it brings light to a very dark reality, the world of sex trafficking and also sheds light on PTSD . A book concerning these very real issues is also normally hard to read but some how she makes it work and brings so many emotions that it makes every issue absolutely real

Great series
I love the characters in this series! They can be lovable, funny, annoying, and frustrating all at the same time. I had read the SHTF series first not realizing they were connected to this series and already loved the gang, now I can read it again with a whole new understanding of each character!

Captivating
I personally love the details LL goes into, regardless of the subject. This book will keep you "turning the pages ". The characters are believable and down to earth. There is always a lesson in each situation. This series has been one of the easiest read books I've experienced, as far as story lines and layout. Definitely try to read in order.

A satisfying end to the trilogy
While it didn't contain any huge surprises, this book perfectly wrapped up this trilogy and dropped tantalizing hints of things to come. This trilogy may be over but the story of these three remarkable sisters and their families is far from done.

Not everyone gets their fairytale.
Olivia and Grayson's stories are not all sunshine and rainbows. But reading their journey and struggle to find a happy ending, is a nail biting adventure. But keep in mind that !like life, not everyone finds their fairytale ending.

Awesome Continuation of Series
Most series have a weak book in a series, but not this one! Loved the storyline of the characters, reading front to back without pause. Already got & starting on book 4. Must read series!

Book #3
Fairy tales do come true. Prince Charming. Happily ever after. Enjoyed The Girl in the Sea. Not as dark. The series was enlightening. What a rollercoaster ride.

EXCELLENT READ!!!
After reading book 1 and 2 Let Me Go and Captured Again, I could not wait for the third book to come out. It was worth the wait! I enjoyed every moment of this book. An engrossing tale that took me to places I have never been before. Again the author was able to draw me into the story as she had done before. An amazing story from the first book to the last. Waiting patiently for "Fatefully Unfree."

Another Amazing Must Read
Make sure you read Let me go and Capture me first. L.L. Akers does an amazing job on Olivia's story in the third installment of Let Me Go.
