❌You’d think, being an owner of a “gentlemen’s and/or swingers club”, he’d practice safe sex and not IN THE FINAL INSTALMENT of the Hxh’s trilogy.
An ow whom he’s known and cared about for years.
(More than the other hundreds of ow)
To whom he’s still intensely attracted to/aroused by, even while he's with the h now
In fact, I don't know why he would want to settle down with the h since he has his own little combo of Leila and Elena of 50 Shades going on…
The mother of his brand new (unexpected) baby plus his ex-wife whom he still cries over.
He’s life fell apart when she left and he hasn’t recovered since.
He admits he still has unresolved issues where she's concerned.
Confession:
He’s a full time swinger NOT part time like he initially told her
Confession:
The h cheats on the H
Confession:
His longtime (among many others) lover has just had his baby
LOL
Then they all live happily ever after....
An aside:
Not even mentioning the h because she just there for shits and giggles

Their Confession had everything I love in a book!! I experienced happiness, romance, anger and frustration that made me want to throw my Kindle through a window!! I felt like I was going through my own relationship with Darion right along with Gabi and wished I could transform myself into their world!! Darion is the ultimate BBF, MOST of the time, and he even managed to make me cry twice, but I'm not going to tell you why. This was the perfect ending to a fantastic series and I REALLY hope if you haven't read the first two books (His Confession and Her Confession) you will make sure you do before reading this awesome book!! I HIGHLY recommend the whole series because I read and thoroughly enjoyed each one!! So please don't hesitate to dive right in, you won't be sorry, I promise!! Enjoy!!!

Their Confession by S Valentine is book 3 of The Black Door trilogy and continues the story of Gabi and Darion. Book 1 is called His Confession and book 2 is called Her Confession. I would recommend reading the first two books before reading Their Confession to better understand the characters and their story.
Gabi tried to be what Darion needed but she lost herself in the process and it made her realise that she had to be true to herself. By speaking up, she expected to lose Darion but was happily surprised when he declared his love for her and was willing to make the changes necessary so their relationship could continue to grow. Gabi worries that she still won’t be enough for Darion though. Then she’s hit with a secret that Darion found out at the end of book 2 and it becomes unclear if their relationship will survive the biggest challenge they’ve faced so far.
“She was on cloud nine. Maybe they could have a normal relationship after all: security, stability, but with all of the fun parts included. Had she really tamed the bad-boy beast? Was he really all hers? She hoped so.” - Gabi
Darion never expected to fall in love again but Gabi is everything he needs and wants in life. He takes steps to make changes in his life as being with Gabi is now his priority but he’s keeping a secret from her; one he’s struggling to accept himself because it’s life changing and he believes he’ll fail at what’s now required of him. There’s also still the temptation of The Black Door club but he knows he needs to resist if he wants to keep Gabi. Darion wants a future with Gabi but will he be able to be the man she deserves and could the secret he’s keeping from her be the thing that finally pushes her away.
“Beneath the surface was the biggest obstacle their relationship would ever face. Darion was unsure of whether it would strengthen their bond, or shatter it completely. He was afraid it would be the latter.” - Darion
Having read and loved the first two books in this trilogy, I was excited to read Their Confession and see if Gabi and Darion could overcome all the challenges thrown their way. The cliffhanger ending of Her Confession made my stomach drop as it couldn’t have come at a worst time and it was obvious at the beginning of this book that it was something pretty big. I felt sick as clues were given to what it could be and even though I felt pretty sure that I’d figured out what it could be, I kept hoping that I was wrong because I knew it would crush Gabi who had already gone through so much to be with Darion. I also became angry towards Darion (I’d always loved him up to this point) because he tried to avoid facing his new responsibilities and after how he reacted to Gabi’s confession in book 2, I felt he was being unfair to her and knew he would hurt her even more by not telling her right from the start. As it was, Gabi suspected something was going on and the torture of not knowing what it was caused her to make assumptions and added to the stress she was already feeling. I know people make mistakes but it took me a while to forgive Darion for what he did to Gabi who deserved better after all she had done for him.
S Valentine is an amazing author and I’m surprised that more readers haven’t yet discovered her. She writes like an author who has many books out there for readers and her work takes you on an emotional roller-coaster ride, which makes your stomach drop and heart ache as her characters deal with real life issues. Lots of readers use reading as an escape and prefer their books to be more fairytale rather than real life but for me, I love it when authors make their books realistic and you’re able to relate with the situations written. S Valentine is an author I’ll be keeping up to date with because I love her writing style and how she deals with real life topics, which are clearly well researched and thought out. I also love how she keeps you guessing in this trilogy and has you hooked throughout. Some trilogies/series can become boring or repetitive after a while but that’s definitely not the case with S Valentine and each book in this trilogy just got better and better. Their Confession was the grand finale and what a way to conclude Gabi and Darion’s story.
I want to end this review by thanking S Valentine for giving me the opportunity to read and review such an amazing trilogy, which I’m gutted has ended. I honestly could continue reading about Gabi and Darion who are soul mates and were destined to find each other. Their journey wasn’t an easy one but it made them stronger and after surviving everything in this trilogy, could survive anything else thrown their way. I urge you all to buy and start reading this trilogy today!!!!

It took me a few days to put my thought together for this review. I really wanted to like this series because I think it is a good story and I like all the different elements to the story. I felt it could have been set up different. I like that this story was real life problems but for me personally this book was too "real". I know that may sound weird to say but I like to escape reality when I read. I know that life is hard and its far from perfect. Maybe reading and watching fairy tales give false hope to some BUT I know they aren't reality. With saying that I respect to author for writing a story with 'real" characters that made real life mistakes is amazing. Their actions were real ones and we really feel and act real life. I however hate when people break-up and get back together a doze times. That is a BIG issue for me (again my issue). The problems were real and many people face everyday. I think this story could have been told in 2 books not three. Don't get me wrong I love a book with sex scene and I understand that the 2 main characters had great chemistry and couldn't keep their hands off each other but I felt there were too many sex scene. I felt it was just a way to fill the page with words to fill a book. The set up of the books didn't work for me either. I hate for something to be held over my head. There is a big secret/confession but we are going to make you read 40% of the book to find out when we pretty much know what it is. Id rather be surprised with a big shock then know its coming and keep waiting for it and reading sex scene till I get there. It is really hard for me to start a book and not finish it and that is where this book fell. I finished it because I started it and I wanted to make sure I had guessed the big secret/confession. With all that being said it did end up in a nice pretty bow. This is was not my cup of tea but for some this may be what your looking for.

Their Confession was a perfectly provocative conclusion to The Black Door Trilogy! S. Valentine has definitely secured a place in my heart after this series! I was completely enthralled in Darion and Gabi's story! I have seriously never been so in love with a couple like I am them. I completely devoured this book! Just when I thought Valentine couldn't possibly bring more angst she brought it bigger than ever. This book is a complete roller coaster of feels! Yet another well written web of mistakes, vulnerability and heartache! This book should seriously come with a warning keep ice water close by because man does things seriously get HOT! I love how the author show cases one huge lesson, love, relationships, and life is not easy. You have to change, and make mistakes and fight for happiness and what you want in life.
Darion Milano was ready to move forward with his life and forward with selling The Black Door. Just as things couldn't be going better with Gabi his past always finds a way into his present. Overwhelmed and more scared then ever Darion finds himself with one last confession.
Gabriella Woods couldn't be more happy with the progress in her relationship with Darion. But as usual life with Darion is a wild and crazy ride. When mysterious texts start coming in, doubts start creeping in. Gabi finds herself wondering if a guy like Darion can truly settle for the lifestyle she dreamed.
5 stars well earned with enough twists and turns to keep you on pins and needles. This book lays it all bare and trust me when I say Darion Milano will completely blow your mind!

Their Confession is book three and finale in the Black Door series. They series is a continuation and does need to be read in order. One of the thing I really enjoyed about this series was how it stuck with you. I haven't read His Confession or Her Confession since they came out and yet when I started reading Their Confession I remember everything that had happened in the previous two books with the subtle reminders that bring you right back into the story. I absolutely adore the main characters in this story, Darion and Gabi. One this that I did notice about Their Confession was that it was slow to move the story along in parts and would start to drag. It wasn't enough to take away from my overall love of the book and series. Of course the Kindle was on fire with the chemistry between Darion and Gabi for the majority of the book. The book has a great ending with a small epilogue to get a little catch up. I would highly recommend this series to romance lovers out their who like some kink to their stories!

This is the sizzling and stunning conclusion to this trilogy. You must read books one and two before reading this book as Gabi and Darion's story evolves throughout the series. I adore this couple and their romance is packed with heat, heart and intensity. This couple has had many issues that they have had to get through and book three tosses more bombshells and obstacles at the pair. This book and in fact the whole series will make your heart race, your palms sweat and your knees weak. Such an excellent romance! I am posting by my own choice a forthright review.

A tumultuous ride ❤️
Oohh. This book finally gives us so many answers and seeing darion and Gabi finally getting to settle had me feeling so happy. But there are secrets still brewing and this time those secrets might be the final thing that breaks them apart.
What a ride this series has been. I absolutely loved each book, not knowing what would happen. Would darion cross the lines, would Gabi be able to go outside her comfort zone. Yep, loved loved this one.

Their Confession
This is the last part in the trilogy. They have had a very rocky relationship. She has to contend with not only his ex wife but a second woman who had his child. He kept secrets and the lies nearly broke her. His insecurities was his down fall. Will they stay together? Or will he revert back to his old ways?

This is book #3 in this series that has only improved with each new book. I'm glad to have many questions from the previous book answered. There are still secrets Darion and Gabi keep. Will their relationship be able to survive them??? Tons of obstacles in this series that make it such a good trilogy. Loved all the steamy scenes.

Their Confession is the third book in The Black Door series I highly recommend that the first two books are read before this one.
This book has love, lust, passion, secrets and loads of hot sex scenes.
As always S Valentine does not disappoint. The story carries straight on from book two where Darion is selling his beloved club.
Gabi isn't sure she can even be enough for Darion after all the exploits he has gotten up to in the past. She loves him with all her heart but he keeps secrets from her still. She know Darion loves her but keeps her at arms length pushing her away when the going gets tough, he goes running.
Darion is a bad boy with a heart of gold. He doesn't use words to show he loves thanks to his ex-wife Eva making him feel needy for showing affection. Gabi is the exception for Darion she is his world, but they have so many obstacles to overcome they both feel like they are on a never ending rollercoaster.
When the truth comes out will Gabi be able to forgive Darion?
Will Darion be able to face up to what his future has in store for him?
Will they get their HEA?
At the end of the book you get a glimpse into the the lives of all the main characters throughout the three books. It's great to see a little into the future.

I feel quite sad that Their Confession is the conclusion to Darion Milano and Gabriella Woods story. I feel like throughout the three book series, I have been along for the ride with these guys, through all of their ups and downs. Witnessing growth, acceptance and forgiveness. I don’t want their series to end
So Their Confession follows on from Her Confession. Darion has declared his love for Gabi and has decided to sell the club and give up his swinger lifestyle for a future with her. Gabi is ecstatic but as time goes on, she wonders if she and her vanilla lifestyle are enough to keep a guy like Darion around and does what she can to keep things exciting and him interested.
Darion realised, he had never truly been in love until Gabi, even with his ex wife Eva. Gabi is more than enough for him, but he is keeping something from Gabi, something he fears it will break them and that he will lose her for good.
Gabi knows there is something going on with Darion, at first thinking that he is regretting the sale of The Black Door and the lifestyle it afforded him, but then she starts noticing text messages on his phone and that he seems preoccupied and her mind goes crazy thinking of what he could be up to. The secret is a true test to their relationship, a real shock and a huge twist. Are Gabi and Darion strong enough both together and separate to handle it or will it be the game changer that destroys them and alters their lives completely?
Their Confession switches from present to future once or twice. We start off in the present, the confession about to be told, then just before it comes out, we flash back to a few months before to witness the build up of what is to come. Once we are back to the point of the confession being revealed, the story then follows on with its reactions and repercussions.
I only gave a brief review of the plot so I didn’t give too much away, but Their Confession starts straight off with drama that has your heart in your throat for the characters and it keeps you on your toes throughout the whole story, beginning to end. It is written from Darion and Gabi’s perspective, providing insight into each of their thoughts, insecurities and their worries. I was glad we had dual point of view, this way I totally understood Darion’s actions and words, if we weren’t able to read from his mind-set also, I may of ended up starting to dislike that sexy guy.
The chapters seemed to pass quite quickly giving the story a feel of being faster paced, which is awesome because the suspense just builds and builds and you just want to know what the confession is, and how it affects people, and if Darion and Gabi have a future together or not, so many wants in one go.
As with the whole The Black Door Trilogy, the erotica is on point. Its descriptive and exciting, none of it feels samey or boring or makes you want to by pass it. As well of reading a whole lot of HOT in these scenes, you are also feeling the intensity of each characters feelings with their want for each other. Sophia Valentine definitely has a great skill for writing the erotica. The whole series is a great combination of just the right amount of erotica mixed in to a great back story and plot, so it doesn’t just feel like you are reading about a whole lot of sex and nothing else. It doesn’t feel repetitive, each sexual encounter feels exciting and passionate.
As written in the beginning of my review, the changes and the growth of Gabi and Darion, along with one or two of the secondary characters is evident and throughout book #3 it made my heart very happy. I have loved both Darion and Gabi throughout the whole series. Even though Gabi loves all thing fashion and enjoys a good pamper and lifestyle, she doesn’t come across as an entitled character with it, I still get a down to earth feeling from her. Darion, sexy sexy Darion, well our bad boy has a secret softy side and I love it when I discover this about as bad boy character. I felt for him throughout the series, I felt a sadness about him, but it turned out, all he needed was the love of a beautiful woman. He is a successful guy but he isn’t obnoxious in the slightest.
This series keeps you guessing. It is full of suspense, twists, heartache, insecurity, sexy times, adoration, excitement and hope. A real roller coaster of a series that captivates you and doesn’t let you go until you hit the end of book #3, even then you don’t want to be let go. I think Darion and Gabi could keep me hooked and reading about them infinitely. This series has a plot that is well developed with believable characters. I definitely recommend that you add this series to your collections.
Their Confession is a very satisfying and gripping conclusion to Darion and Gabi’s story. I love Sophia and her writing. She has brought us an awesome series to read in The Black Door Trilogy, and being a part of her author group on Facebook, I feel like I have also developed a friendship with an author I will continue to follow throughout her career.
So Their Confession follows on from Her Confession. Darion has declared his love for Gabi and has decided to sell the club and give up his swinger lifestyle for a future with her. Gabi is ecstatic but as time goes on, she wonders if she and her vanilla lifestyle are enough to keep a guy like Darion around and does what she can to keep things exciting and him interested.

I couldn't wait to start this book I had to wait to long to see what happened with Darion and Gabi. I thought I loved His Confession and Her Confession but this book tied everything together but not in a nice little package. The story begins when they meet everyone at The Black Door for a party and Gabi is looking forward to seeing everyone except Eva she is one woman Gabi could do without. When Gina comes and Darion looks nervous Gabi can't help but ask what's going on and Darion closes his eyes. When he opens them and tells her she can't get away fast enough, she thought they were good but her world has just crashed. The story does rewind to two months prior where the story explains what leads up to that moment. My heart breaks for Gabi over and over in this book and I can't believe how strong she is coming back to the man she loves. All the characters good and bad are in it some turn over new leaves and others get worse. I had to finish the story in one day the suspense would have killed me.
I requested this book for free from the author and I was more than happy to review it.

Their Confession is the third and final book in The Black Door trilogy and needs to be read after reading the other two books in this series. After reading Their Confession I was a little sad that Darion and Gabi's story has come to a conclusion as I have loved each and every book and will miss reading about them and some of the other background characters like Gina and Lexi that have played a big part in the story. I have wondered if maybe the author has considered a spin off series that would maybe feature some of these characters as i'd be very interested to read more about them and where there lives take them.
There are a few surprises and twists to this part of their story that I didn't see coming, this added more spice to an already overheated and ansty pot of trouble that has been brewing between Darion and Gabi since she discovered what his lifestyle consisted of. After having to deal with his drinking, partying and women from his past stirring up trouble Gabi has so much to consider, whether her love for Darion is enough to get through this new problem that has come between them and their happiness or if this is the end for both of them.
This has been an amazing series that is well written and easy to read, its full of hot and sexy scenes with lots of heart stopping moments along the way. We get an insight into the life of running a Gentleman's Club and what's involved in a swinging lifestyle but its also a story of love and of learning to trust again when its been broken by those closest to you.
A brilliant 5 Stars!

We start the book with the unanswered question from the end of the last. Who was the call from that Darion took and what was it about? This question is not answered for quite a while so it leaves you guessing and coming up with the wrong answer all the time.
Is Darion able to give up the life of the Black Door for good? Will Gabi ever fully be able to trust him?
They have such an on again off again relationship that at times it becomes too much. If anything this was my only criticism. It could be that I read them to close together.
However, don't let this be the reason to stop you reading the series.

This is the third and last book of The Black Door Trilogy.
Just when things start to go right for Gabrielle and Darion irony and twist of fate puts their love and strength to the test. At the end of the second book was left with a bit of a cliff hanger which I suspected would happen in this book! Sorry not telling!
Insecurities crawl out from both Darion and Gaby but patience, the love they both have for each other, the heavy chemistry and sex appeal that attracts and bonds them triumphs over.
The sex scenes are just as steamy as they are as endearing and loving as the ending.

As soon as I read the first chapter I was hooked! I just had to know what secret our sexy Darion was keeping. It turns out to be one hell of a mind blower that's for sure! Gabi shows that she is a tough cookie. However, there is only so much one person can handle....so Darion's big secret might be his final secret for Gabi. I loved this book from beginning to end! The author did a fantastic job!

I had to have a quick review of the previous books before diving straight into this one, and it was no hardship because I was able to indulge in what has been to date a superb series. I was aware that this was the conclusion of their story but that intensified the story if that make sense because I knew that the author had to wrap it all up and I was just dying to see how she was going to do that.
I have loved the story between Darion and Gabriella it has been a wild ride, they have been through so much that it is a miracle that they are still standing but testament to what they are able to endure.
Gabriella has been thrilled so far that Darion was willing to leave the lifestyle behind, sell the club and commit to being with her, that is up until her conscience starts niggling away at her, can a guy like Darion actually settle for a life without all the frills and fancy?
Well she might not know the answer but she is willing to do her best to try and ensure that he has no reason to regret his decision. With a new vigour she sets about showing him that he made the right choice and that together they can make things exciting. They can keep the spark alight but what if the only thing that they have going for them is the physical attraction…poppycock, this pair are smitten and Darion knows it. Gabriella is the best thing to have ever happened to him and being without her is not an option but that might all change because if she were to ever find out what he was keeping from her…it just might be a reality!
I loved the fact that the author used their own fears against them, her insecurities praying on her and convincing her that his distance was a sign that he was unhappy with what they had, when the truth was that nothing could have been further from the truth, his unhappiness was at the fact that he could completely let the woman he loved in to everything that was consuming his life for that meant him facing his own fear of being without her. So could they find their way to survive not only the external pressures but also the internal battles that they had foisted on themselves
Of course the story has a confession as the title obviously indicates and when that is finally revealed it is one that has the potential to blow everything they have ever had out of the water, they have to quickly face up to the fact that this is their new reality and they either face it together or allow their lives to change completely. What a dilemma!
Told from both points of view this is a story that will keep you on your toes, it takes hold early on and it never let’s go and believe me it is not a gentle hand hold, nope this grabs you by the throat and is totally relentless. I liked the perspective that the pair of them brought to the page, they were open and that gave me a renewed appreciation for what they were going through.
Packed with more than enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat, this has all its bases covered, it has their intimacy absolutely nailed, it is scorching! But it shows them not only at their strongest but also at their most vulnerable, it lays bare their insecurities and uncovers the heartaches that hold them back, all the while pushing them to explore their desires and desperation not only for each other but for the future they deserve
Highly recommended, Darion will blow your mind!

OMG, I did not think Gabi and Darion could face any more obstacles than what they faced in book 1 and 2. I loved the surprise Darion sprung on Gabi. I am so in love with Darion, his flaws and all. I highly recommend this series. I was provided a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

This is the third and final book in this amazing series. This can be read as a standalone, but personally, I am glad I read the first two books before this one. Gabi and Darion still have secrets between then, and confessions which may shatter their relationship for good. This story is filled with angst, twists, surprises, and obstacles to overcome. No spoilers, you really need to read this awesome series for yourself!
This is a wonderfully addictive and erotic story, which the author has done a great job of writing. I highly recommend this authors work for all readers, and look forward to reading more from her in the future.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book!

'Their Confession,' is the third book in the 'Black Door Series.'
Darion and Gabi's chemistry is hot and they sizzle off the page. The ploy twists and turns kept me turning the pages wanting more.
Will Darion's secrets destroy his relationship with the only woman he's truly loved?
Can Gabi accept Darion and his secrets?
Will they get their HEA?
This final book and it's ending was wonderful and truly well worth the wait. I love the way Ms. Valentine writes and commend her for a fabulous series!

Gabi is excited that Darion has moved on from his swinging lifestyle and to move forward into a committed relationship with her. When Darion starts to withdraw and become secretive she starts to question that she is enough to satisfy him and fears he may want to return to his previous lifestyle. What she didn’t expect was the confession that he made that shook her entire world. Will they be able to conquer it together and will it bring them closer or will it break them apart?
The story is a great mix of chemistry, twists and an emotional rollercoaster that draws you in and a fitting end to the trilogy that you won’t be able to put down and will make you yearn for whatever her next book will be.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book.

I Loved this book. I didn't read the first two books in the trilogy but I don't feel you will need to either, however it may help you to understand the characters further.
The first chapter was very good and captivating, really draws the reader into the book. S.Valentine throws the reader 2 months ahead into the life of Darion Milano and Gabriella Woods where Darion has given up the Black door, and is attending the re opening under new management with Gabriella.
However the reunion with all the staff does not go as planned, an old friend of Darion's, Gina, breaks down in tears and asks Darion if he has told Gabi their secret ( Their confession). The chapter ends with Darion turning to Gabi and he said "I'm sorry"......... What is he sorry for?
And then the second chapter takes you back 2 months before the BIG secret. I just loved that the plot was at the beginning of the book, because it made me as a reader want to read on to find out the big secret. This book was filled with so much sexual tension, romance and erotica.
Darion Milano-
He is the typical sexy man, has his own wealth, and enjoyed the sexual fantasies he could live while owning and working in The Black Door, however he decides to leave that behind to be with Gabi. However there is nothing easy about their relationship. He has a BIG secret ( His Confession) that he has not told Gabi, will it break them up.
I enjoyed getting to understand Darion more, however his character uses sex a lot to disguise his true feelings, whilst battling with commitment issues. I enjoyed reading about Darion, and how he started to grow up and become a man. He really does have a romantic heart hidden under his sexually dark personality.
Gabriella Woods-
Poor Gabi, I could relate to her throughout the book. She is a lover of books, and works for a publishing company. All she dreams about is the "perfect" romantic relationship, based upon her well loved book genres. Of course nothing is perfect in a real life relationship compared to fiction. After all a fictional character does not always come with "Baggage" like Darion. But then how can she deny a man who makes her weak at the knees by just smiling at her.
Gabi presents herself in designer shoes, perfect hair and makeup, whilst struggling to keep a man she loves dearly in a so called "normal" relationship. However nothing is boring in the bedroom when it comes to these two characters. After all, all Gabi wants to do is to get married and have children with this gorgeous man she has fallen so deeply in love with.

I feel sad that having to write this review as it means the end of Darion Milano and Gabriella Woods.
In this final instalment there are a few surprises and twists in the last book that I personally didn't see coming, this adds more mistrust and insecurities that has been to a pot of trouble that has been brewing between Darion and Gabi since they got together and Gabi discovered what his lifestyle consisted of.
Gabi has had to deal with Darion's drinking, partying and last but not least women from his past stirring up trouble. You feel for Gabi as she has so much to consider, whether her love for Darion is enough to get through this new problem that has come between them and their happiness or if this is the end for both of them and what has became one of my favourite book couples
.
This has been an amazing series from start to finish it is very well written and easy to read, its packed with plenty of hot and sexy scenes and not forgetting heart stopping moments along the way. We also get into see what truly goes on in the swinging lifestyle but most of all its also a story about love and the learning to trust again when its been broken by those closest to you.
I would love to see another book written about the background characters that some you grow to love and others you despise.
This trilogy is easily go on my top 5 recommended trilogies to go to.

Holy Smokes what a story!! It's a shame it's the last book in this series, but what an ending!
Read books 1 and 2 before reading this one (they are amazing), although I think this could be read as a stand alone. S. Valentine is one of my "go to" authors because I know her books never disappoint!
Gabi and Darion's story picks right up in this book and we also get some answers that left us hanging! Darion is my new book boyfriend, he was awesome!
This story has everything that I love in a book! Most importantly, a hot alpha man and lots of sexy scenes!! I had a hard time with this story because I wanted to read it fast and finish, but I wanted to read it slow because I didn't want it to end!

Good ending to the trilogy. Characters were still interesting.
This was a book I was waiting forever for....I was expecting a bit more action but it was still good.
