Tor
Jude and I managed to salvage something beautiful from the war torn rubble of our lives, a blissful happiness that we paid for in blood. We fought our way here, leaving pieces of ourselves along the way. I thought this was the happily ever after in our twisted fairy tale, but I was wrong.
Jude
I may be free by definition. That freedom came at a heavy cost and my family is about to pay the price. At any moment, this façade will come crashing down. Hard. The life I've lived—that kind of world—it stains you, and no matter how hard you try, you can never escape its wrath. Not even in death.
Love. Fear. Loss.
We're walking a wire and all that's beneath us is destruction.

FUCK me...





was just as I thought it would be...




Ah, Jude fuckin Pearson and Victoria/Tor Pearson, I 've missed these two, and to see their lives going in the steady peaceful direction
Two years. We had two years of reprieve. The calm before the storm.

was only an indication of the shitstorm that was waiting to happen…
Out here on this island, I'd almost forgptten what it was like to worry about shit. Being a figurative dead man has had its perks – until now.

And the shit really hits the fan – between the Mexican cartel, the Russian mafia, the FBI, the revenge, the payback and the collateral damage – it all comes down to being on the constant run & chase while picking up the shredded pieces of their lives as he's trying to make it right for his family – Tor & Cayla.
Whatever reason I got pulled into this – whether its because of my deal with the feds or just being in the wrong fucking place at the wrong time, I'm in it now. Right in the motherfucking middle and I may only be one man, but I'm pissed as hell, and I will not rest until every person who+s now come between me and my family is dead. Whatever the cost.

And Tor is crazy from the mixed emotional turmoil in her and around her, and it's hard to just sit back and wait for Jude to fix this…
He will always believe that we are safest with him, but what if we're not?

But when the fact that there's no „fixing this“, comes to realization and the danger comes too close to their daughter, Tor will have to make a decision, no mother should ever make…
I'm having to choose between the two people I love the most in the world and it breaks my heart. But ultimately there is no choice.

And the final resolvment of the clusterfuck of confrontation will result in bloodshed…
All we have is sacrifice, and there is no fairytale in which we all walk out of this. That is the cold reality.





As usual, in all the books I have read, so far, from this collaborating authors' duo (LP Lovell and Stevie J. Cole), I had a blast. A ton of pure adrenaline action, tension, passion, elaborated dramaturgic plot with characters that just happen to rule their written world as they come rushing straight from the vivid fiction to spear through your heart to leave a permanent wound, and you still remember them as being larger than life.

Can't fuckin wait for the next installment, cause frankly, leaving me with an ending like this, is just motherfuckin' cruel...

LMAO!


MUST be read in this order: Wrong (Wrong, #1) by Stevie J. Cole Wrath (Wrong, #2) by L.P. Lovell Wire (Wrong #3) by L.P. Lovell and the next installment War (Wrong Book 4) by Stevie J. Cole

Oh my, this was way intense my heart was in my mouth throughout talk about edge of your seat. This was such a rollercoaster a runaway train and shit just kept on getting worse. This is set two years after wrath, Jude and Tor are happy living their life in their island paradise with Marney and daughter Cayla. Jude now a ghost is laundering money for a Mexican Cartel. Everything is peaceful until trouble inevitably finds its way to their door and once again Jude and his family are placed in the firing line.

There’s also a lot of tension and angst between Jude and Tor as with Cayla now a part of their lives Tors priorities have shifted and as much as She loves Jude their daughter naturally comes first.
This takes us back onto US soil and down into Mexico as Jude and Tor are in a race against the clock to save their family. There are Mexican cartels and Russian mobsters this one really had it all and it was amped and so emotional. Tor has to make an impossible choice her man or her child and then to top it all off there was that finale oh my god what I way to leave you hanging luckily the next part is already out.

Jude and Torn return in Wire, the third book in the Wrong Series by LP Lovell & Stevie J. Cole. After being through hell and back together, Jude and Tor have finally had a reprieve from their previous life. But if you have read this series, you know that loving Jude Pearson comes with a price. For the past two years, their life has been perfect, but this was just the calm after the storm. A storm packed with blood, pain, and betrayal.

"We once had a fairytale. We once lived in a paradise with our perfect family but fairy tales don't last, and soon the monsters come crawling back in."


Once a bookie, always a bookie. Taking the story to a new level, the authors throw us into the world of not only the Russian mafia but also of the Mexican cartels. Jude being Jude, hasn't learned to choose his friends wisely, so after he found a man’s body sprawled across his porch all hell breaks loose. But this time, it's no longer a fight for Tor or Jude, the fight is for their new reason to live. So what follows is a bloody journey where they will try to get back what it belong to them, their family and their happily ever after.

I'm a huge fan of these authors co-writing style, their dark romances always leave me thirsty of more and this one was not different. And even though I wanted to vag punch Tor, I can't wait to get more of them.

In the past two books, I have admired Tor fearlessness, but this time I felt like it was too much. Instead of helping Jude, she was just being a pain in his ass. But then...



Yeah, Stevie J. Cole & LP Lovell know how to fuck up with my little heart. I'm still in denial mood on.

I'm not sure what to think of Gabriel, the only thing I'm sure right now is that I fell in love with Ronan fucking Cole. Here's hoping this book was just an introduction to his character and that he will be getting his own book SOON!

Marneyyyyy! Gahhh! Between all the blood and chaos that surrounded the story, he made me laugh and I adore him for that.

Stevie J. Cole and LP Lovell gritty writing made Wire a thrill ride that kept me on the edge of my seat. If you have read Wrong and Wrath, Wire is a MUST read! Let me warn you, it ends on a motherfucking cliffy but it's worth the pain.

I fucking love these authors and their ability to keep me on my toes and grasping for more. This book surely doesn't disappoint and is very unique to the previous 2 books. Just when you think life has settled down ( As much as life can be normal for them ) you get thrown into the gauntlet and just when you think you know whats about to happen, they pull the rug out from underneath you and send you on a fucking tailspin!
​​

 If you read my previous reviews then you know I have a love affair with Jude, I swear this character can do no wrong. Even if that means dabbing into his former life, I still love him
​​

Tor shows you a  different side of her in this book, we get to watch her evolve into being a devoted mother and how it's has changed her outlook on life.

This book starts out action packed and doesn't settle down until the very end, which ends with one HELL of an ending. To be clear, the next 5 days until the 4th book comes out is going to be BRUTAL for me. I have so many questions and doubts that its going to kill me.
​​
In this book we still get the amazing Marney and we are introduced to a whole slew of characters. One in particular had me rolling, he's hysterical. I am not going to even give a thing away because this book is amazing and I want you to go in blind just like I did.
​​

 To end this review, I can't say enough how much I love these books. I get tired of the redundant books that are out now and this series is such a breath of fresh air.

Wire starts off with Jude and Tor living a quiet life with their sweet baby girl Cayla, and as usual with these two danger is not far away. This book had me glued to my Kindle, from beginning to end. I just couldn't put it down because I had to know what was going to happen. I have to be honest Jude stole my heart in book 1 and with each book I fall for him even more. Yes he's a criminal and a killer but he is also so loving to his family and would do anything for them. Now Tor completely pissed me off and I am currently 30% into the next book and I'm she's still pissing me off. As a mother myself I completely understand the need to protect my children and I would do anything to insure that they had that protection. So like I said I understand the position she is in, but my problem is that Jude is her partner and her lack of faith in him is what upset me. She hardly gives him a chance to protect them before she's going off to act as Rambo. I know I said I loved how badass she has become but I'm getting more of a TSTL vibe from her now and I'm disappointed. With that said I'm still totally hooked and loving this series.

It never gets any better for tor and Jude does it? And now they have a two year old daughter to think about. I couldn’t believe it when after all the heartache of tor potentially never seeing Jude again, in book three she’s now trying to escape him. But I can see why. Why would she want to endanger her little girl?

The two of them were still hotter than ever in this book. The sex was still on fire and it can’t be said that their relationship is dull. But I can’t help thinking the series could have stopped at the last book. I know! I had a complete happy meltdown over the first two! I didn’t think I’d be saying that, but I feel it could have been tied up then and left as a happy ending, let’s face it they deserved one.

This time the cartel and mafia are involved which makes things even more dangerous. However the dark and depraved factor wasn’t prominent in this. That’s not a big issue, but it does change the whole tone of the book. It quickly turned into more of a crime thriller.

4 🌟 for this instalment. It’s not that I didn’t like it, I really liked it! It’s just that it was missing something I can’t quite put my finger on. I feel like the series is being drawn out a bit now despite wanting to read on. The ending to this one has me thinking book four will be more of the same but with a vital character absent. And with that character gone, I can only imagine the book will be nothing but cartel wars and vengeance.

We once lived in paradise with our perfect family but fairy tales don't last and soon the monsters come crawling back.

WIRE IS A CONTINUATION OF WRONG AND WRATH.
Make sure you've read Wrong.
Wrong
iBooks: http://bit.ly/WrongiBooks
Amazon: http://bit.ly/WrongSeries



I feel like a fish right now, I open my mouth I close my mouth, I'm speechless.

Jude and Tor have been hidden away for two and a half years they have a perfect life by the sea with their daughter but with Jude still having connections with the Cartel it was only a matter of time before someone came Knocking and boy did they come knocking.

Russian mafia,Mexican Cartel, it seems Jude has many enemies and Tor wants only for her daughter to be safe.

A mother's love knows no bounds.

I missed Jude and Tor's love and passion for each other and as a reader your taken on a rocky roller-coaster ride yet again with angst,twists and turns, danger at every corner.

I'm speechless right now, sad I'm not sure how to digest or what to make out of the explosive ending that subtly leads to another book.



Anything can happen and I don't want to make assumptions, only put my hope for Tor and Jude and their daughter Cayla in the hands of these brilliant but devious authors.

This series is a definite recommendation to any reader who loves angst,action the grittiness within a mafia read and to be taken on a nail-biting ride.

Told in dual pov's, I can't tell you if this book was fast paced read or not only that I couldn't turn the pages quick enough.

Tor and Jude’s story picks up where Wrath (Book #2) left off.  Jude, Tor, and baby Cayla are enjoying a peaceful existence.  Jude is no longer a bookie, but he hasn’t given up his old ways.  He aligns himself with a Mexican cartel putting him and his family in grave danger. Tor was beyond mad and disgusted when she learns about Jude’s latest business dealings.  She doesn’t want his actions to put their daughter in any danger.   Choices need to be made when their fairytale life comes to a deadly halt. 

“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crashes down remorselessly all those that stand in it’s path.” - Agatha Christie

Wire is the latest nail-biter in the Wrong series. This fast-paced, action-packed mafia romance pushes the limits of love.  This dark and deadly story is not to be missed. The ending just about killed me. Please read this series in order Wrong, Wrath, and Wire. The murder and mayhem will continue with War on August 16th.

Gah, this series rocks!

It was amazing to see Jude, Tor and Cayla so happy in the beginning of this book. I really think they earnt their happy ever after.
But freedom comes with a high cost for a man like Jude and those he threw under the bus have come back for blood!!

"I love you," he whispers and presses his lips to mine. The kiss is short and sweet and so full of love. "You and Cayla are my fucking world. Don't take that from me." I can feel my heart breaking under his soft touches, his warm kisses.'

Tor has been happy for two years. Living in paradise with Jude and their daughter. She's leant to love him for who he is and accepts him with her whole heart. I loved how sassy Tor has become. How she pushes all of Jude's buttons so hard and challenges him at every turn.

'Jude is my twisted version of happily ever after, my bloodstained prince in a sea of violence and revenge.'

***

'I slowly turn around and see the back of Tor's car smashed into the driver's side of my BMW. "What the fuck!" I shout. Tor rolls the window down, smiling from ear to ear. "Oops, sorry, honey."

Bahahaha. Only Tor would be crazy enough to smash up his car!!


Jude has found a new meaning to his life, Tor and Cayla are his world. His love for Tor consumes him, in the best possible way. He burns and aches for her, he trusts her and admires her. He's shed his old life and who he used to be and just wants to remain as far under the radar as possible.
But new allies draw attention to his skills and put a target on their backs.

'He laughs. "Not like you. You are untraceable, like a ghost."
"Well, I'm fucking dead."
"Exactly,” he says with a smile. “You do not exist and therefore, my money does not exist. The Feds must be shitting on themselves trying to find it."


When push comes to shove and Jude's past catches them up, Tor learns how deeply a mothers love runs. That she will sacrifice anything, even the love of her life, to protect her child.

This book was so gripping. I was hooked from start to finish. I love Marney and Gabriel is crazy, but awesome.
There are so many twist and turns and times I wanted to scream at them for not seeing the truth behind each others actions. Or the stupid mistakes they were making and trusting the wrong people. But this story proved that in their world, trust is almost impossible.

I simply cannot wait for book 4. I HAVE to know what happens next. Who to trust? Who has Jude's back? And who is just waiting to stick the knife in..?

All we have is sacrifice, and there is no fairytale in which we all walk out of this. That is the cold reality.

Two years in paradise. Two years of leaving America and both of their pasts behind. Jude and Tor thought their fresh start would last them a lifetime but are unpleasantly surprised when trouble makes an appearance of a dead man in the garden. Without much warning, Tor, Jude, and Marney are thrown back into the turmoil of the underground criminal world.

My beautifully broken man, so strong and fierce, so loyal. ~ Tor



Gabriel “Gabe” member of the Juarez cartel is a new character in this book and plays a very pivotal role. He is Jude’s current and only employer but is a powerful man and soon both attract the attention of a rival cartel. I loved Gabe’s character- sometimes hysterical but also ruthless and cold at the core. I felt his character never strayed from his core being.

To be honest, in this installment my enjoyment of Jude and Tor lessened. In the first two books I found both of them so raw, so redeeming in this book I found both so OVER THE TOP in their angst and drama that they seemed almost juvenile. Tor and her endless “F- you Jude” *slaps face* and Jude’s never-ending jaw clenching that made him too angry to be an Alpha in my opinion and more like a hormonal boy. Ugh- even Marney was sick of their sh!t as he told us many times…he’s too old for this.



Despite all, I was still rooting for Tor- still rooting for her to come out on top! Wire was jam-packed with action, heartbreak, and betrayal. About half way through I could not put it down for one second because the plot was moving so fast! Now I’m not a prude at all but I thought the f-bombs got to be a little too excessive and it did detract from my reading experience because I stopped “hearing” the dialogue and the characters in my head-just f*ck this and f*cking that. Overall, the plot still outshined any minor detraction I felt.

The ending KILLED me- just when I thought the action couldn’t get any better-it did. I absolutely cannot wait to find out what happens next and am very grateful the authors continued the journey of this series. Overall, 4 stars for a highly entertaining and violent read! Highly recommend the series!

These two authors have no chill and I love it!

Wire (book 3) starts off where Wrath left off and in true Jude fashion his life is filled with, danger, money, action, love, and the cartel. What? The cartel? you say. You'll have to read and see ;)

Jude and Tor have been tested time and time again, but I feel as if this is they're biggest test yet. With new threats lurking around the corner, my heart yet once again breaks for Jude and Tor. They just can't catch a break, but I guess that's what happens when Jude lives the life he has been living.

This story was a wild ride of action, love and lust, and I loved every minute of this roller coaster.

And I will say this, THAT ENDING THOUGH!!!!!!!

Well FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!

That ending!! I may have had a few choice words calling both authors not so nice names!! I mean come on!!!!!

He's back!!!!! After a few years of normalcy Jude and Tor's life takes a turn for the worse.

We left them blissfully happy with baby Cayla and now the past is catching them up. It starts with a bang! We follow Jude and Tor through some of the worst weeks of their lives. Jude will do anything for his girls. He tried to get out of the life he had but now he has no choice but to go back to the life he once knew in order to protect them.

Tor thought the past was behind them until it arrives back with a vengeance in her own back yard. Tor loves Jude to the end of the earth but if anything happens to her baby, nothing, not even Jude will stand in her way of protecting her.

Where to start!!! This is so action packed i got heart palpitations!! Edge of your seat, bite your nails, soil your undies, gripping story. We have the Cartel, we have the Russian Mafia, we have drug lord allies, then we have Jude!! The infamous Bookie that is sought by all. Jude is a major commodity and this is why everyone want's a piece of him. Unfortunately this is his downfall.

Loved Jude in Wrong and Wrath. This book see's him a little shell shocked shall we say. He thought it was all over but now he has to get back to his old ways. I love how protective he is of his girls. He'll die for them both. Nothing is off limits. I also loved to see him break a little. I can't wait for the next book because i think there will be no holds barred now! He has nothing left to lose.

The chemistry between Jude and Tor is always simmering and this book is no different. He craves Tor and she's addicted to him. Both of them together will kill or be killed to protect Cayla. There's plenty of heat and passion between them but you can also feel the helplessness they have at their situation.

Tor is pretty badass in this book. She surprised me to be honest. The scene where she fights her way out of an ambush is ahh maaa ziiing!! Go Tor!!! I think Cayla is her strength and brings out a whole other side to her.

The story had me turning the pages so fast my app couldn't keep up!! I was desperate to see what happened next!

As usual with these authors it was beautifully written and almost poetic in nature. They make you care for someone who maybe you shouldn't.

The supporting characters are drawing me in. Gabriel is intriguing and i can't wait to find out more about him. Also the illusive Russian Ronan... what's his deal?? I need to know!!!!

Just brilliant!! If you loved Wrong and Wrath you will gush in numerous panties over this!!!

Bring on the next book!!!

Is it done yet?

Now?

Can we read it yet?

COME ON!!! HURRY!!!

"It's hard to trust anyone in this twisted world of power plays and death traps. Only fools completely give their trust to someone. Only fucking fools."

Happily ever after has an expiry date. Having had two bliss filled years it's time for Jude to remember exactly who he is and what sins he has committed as the debt has become due and the price is too much to pay. Living in secret as he is supposedly dead he has continued to launder money for Gabriel and his Mexican cartel. Yet one death spirals out of control, the start of a chain reaction to plan that is being masterminded by the Russians. Power plays and games ensue as rival cartels go to war with one man and his family as collateral in the middle of it...

Tor hasn't lost any of her defiance, now with a daughter to protect she really will do anything to keep her safe, even trade in the man she loves. Risking it all she trusts no-one as its her innocent child's life on the line as she comes to the realisation that her perfect life was all just a fantasy and you can never really escape the underworld, once you are in you are in until death. With all the King Pins making a play Tor has no choice, no top trump in a game that has far larger stakes than she realised. Jude finds himself drowning, in anger and desperation as he feels helpless his past mistakes haunting him as he finds himself boxed in with no more moves to make. But Jude hasn't lost his edge and he still manages to pull off some amazingly ballsy stunts but will he save his wife and his daughter?

I love these authors, their stories whether writing separately or together, never fail to deliver the goods. Oh how I've missed Jude and his steely determination. He gets business done no matter how bloody it becomes. This is a fast paced, action packed thrilling intense read that ends on a WTF. I hope I don't have to wait too long to find out more. The Mexicans, The Russians and an American starting a war to end all wars Jude has to lay the ghosts of the past to rest and try to figure out who really is the enemy. So many questions left unanswered. I am wound up tight needing to know...a fantastic addition to this series and I loved every page in this nail biting story.

A five star who do you trust when you are already dead read.

Pure Adrenaline Rush!!

Holy smokes, I don't think I've ever read a book that fast! On one hand, I am a little peeved at Stevie J. Cole and L.P. Lovell because I said goodbye to Tor and Jude in my last review.

"Wrath is fantastic! It completes the story of Jude and Victoria nicely. Everything I wanted in a second book as well as an end to a series." 8/21/2015

My. Words. I was done and then take Wire for review and am sucked right back in! Deep down I knew these two couldn't live happily ever after with the kind of past they have, but good grief, I never expected the S-Storm that hit them this time around. This review may spoil previous books.

"There is always a cost to loving a man like Jude Pearson."

And boy or boy Tor is finding out that price is pretty damn high. While I admire Jude's love for his girl, I want to strangle him for the crap he constantly puts her through. Two years. Two freaking years of peace is all the girl has gotten since the moment she met him.

"For the past two years, my life has been perfect. Flawless. But monsters rarely ever get a f-ing fairy tale...and I know that."

What I didn't know was how far others would go to get to Jude and why. The man is a bookie for christ's sake, but I guess a pretty darn good one in the world of bad guys. Now they want him and will go through whoever they need to to get him.

"He's not god, Marney."
"Nah, that boys the devil."

Never were there more true words spoken and by Marney nonetheless. That guy was the humor we desperately needed. This is pure edge of your seat reading, the kind that plays out in your head like a movie. Stevie J. Cole and L.P. Lovell, as annoying as it was, truly outdid themselves with this third book in the Wrong series. And to really rub salt in the reading wound, the saga of Tor and Jude STILL isn't freaking finished. I'll tell ya what, those girls better crank out the next book P.D.Q., or they will have one very disappointed reader on thier hands. ;)

1.5 van de 5 sterren

Het derde deel in de verkeerd-serie weergeeft het leven van Jude en Tor op een hele nieuwe manier. Met een dochtertje erbij lijkt alles een stuk gecompliceerder dan gedacht. Na twee jaar onder de radar geleefd te hebben, lijkt daar een einde aan te komen. Iets waar Tor niet zo blij mee is.

L.P. Lovelle en S.J. Cole wisten met de eerste twee delen een sterke basis neer te zetten. Wat een ijzersterke reeks is 'verkeerd' toch niet: gewaagd, passie en zo gevuld met liefde. Allemaal sterke elementen die maken dat het verhaal uniek was en ook voor niet-erotiek lezers interessant is. De reeks is ook ideaal voor liefhebbers van thrillers en het wat ruwere verhaaltype.
Deel drie lijkt overigens door een heel andere auteur/duo geschreven te zijn. Het sluit niet aan bij de voorgaande delen. Sterker nog: het bevat geen enkel van die sterke elementen die deze reeks zo typeert. (In ieder geval de eerste twee boeken typeert.)
De plot is één grote warboel aan personages, clans en meer. Als lezer wordt je in een verhaal gegooid dat deels herheland aanvoelt en langs de andere kant bijna niet te volgen valt. Je kan niet langer volgen wie nu precies welke rol vervuld en vooral de nevenfiguren zijn zo ontzettend vlak dat er geen diepgang te vinden is.
Vooral de afwezigheid van liefde en passie, viel sterk op. Jude en Tor waren in boek twee onafscheidelijk en als lezer kon je erbij wegsmelten. Helaas is dat in het derde deel niet zo. Beide personages staan zeer vijandig tegenover elkaar en lijken mijlenver uit elkaar te zijn. Zelfs de intieme scènes komen niet overtuigend over waardoor je de voelen met de hoofdpersonages al snel verliest. Als lezer is het ook niet te volgen waarom ze plots zo tegen elkaar doen.

Uiteraard vind ik de vlotte schrijfstijl nog steeds aangenaam te lezen en heeft de serie iets unieks. Alleen heb ik het gevoel dat deel drie niet in het rijtje thuishoort. Het voegt niets nieuws toe en is lang niet van hetzelfde niveau als de voorgaande delen.

Wire takes place about two years after the last book, and we see Jude and Tor living in peace with their small daughter. The peace has come because Jude became a ghost after all the chaos from his past living in obscurity with his little family. Unfortunately, his violent past didn't quite die off, and the wrong people found him. Now as he tries to keep himself out of that world, he also has to worry about keeping Tor, and his daughter safe. However, enemies of the past don't care how they get to him, they are determined to use whatever means necessary to make him pay. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jude and Tor, and when I got wind of this book, it took everything in me to wait, as I just wanted to constantly ask this duo, "Is it here yet, is it here yet, is it here yet?" The darkly brilliant, and diabolically evil duo surpassed all of my expectations for this story, and I will NEVER EVER get enough! It was such a loud f-bomb dropping worthy, action packed story, that my heart has started racing again while as I type up this review. My hidden dark and twisty beast has been fed well, and yet, I cannot help but to raise this dynamic duo to the top of the list of authors trying to KILL ME with that ending that had me losing all speech. So that means that they have a new hash tag, #QUEENSOFALLEVILWHOREDOM forevermore, (especially since they're on the path to winning all of the seven kingdoms, LOL), so the next book cannot come out quickly enough! In the meantime, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Wire, not to mention this series, to ALL AND DARKLY SUNDRY!

5 stars!!! OMG I love this series <<<<<



Right let me start by saying I was happy with the ending of book 2 but I was so glad we got more of Jude and Tor. And what a book it is such a roller coaster of a ride and you don’t want it to end.. it is fantastic read just like book 1 and 2 it pulls you in and doesn’t let go.

I was at the edge of my seat for most of this book. I will say how I felt
I shouted a lot, I screamed murder at my kindle and I cried. I really was not expecting the feelings I had while reading.

I really loved Tor in this book she really was amazing in it. She is so selfless and will do anything for her family. She is totally badass.
I loved Jude. What can I say he is Jude!! lol
In this one they think they are free from Jude's past but when it all comes crashing down on them. And the enemies are back how far are they willing to go to save the ones they love.

These two authors just write the story perfect. You feel the characters pain you are cheering them on and rooting for them.. I’m not saying anything else, because I don’t want to ruin it for others, but YOU have to read this book if you have read the first 2 books if not grab them now you will not be disappointed.

This book is dark and twisted and I loved every minute of it and I can’t wait to see what is next.

I've been so excited waiting for this book. I absolutely love Jude & Tor you Just never know what's next with these 2.

At the start I thought I seen a different Jude the feeling was different but as the book progressed I seen more and more of the old Jude which was amazing.
I want to be Tor when I grow up, that woman has bigger balls than any man. I love her.
Her love & fight steer her into Jude's world that little bit further but this time the stakes are at an ultimate high.

The outcome well in true LP & Stevie fashion I wanted to throw my kindle off the wall at 3am when I finished it.

There's a lot of new people in this book, some are ruthless people & I can't wait too see more of some of these characters.

But the ending was perfect I LOVE a cliffy & it also means we get some more, which I cannot wait for ❤️

Loved it ladies

An American, a Colombian and a Russian walk into a bar and all hell breaks loose…

“We once lived in paradise with our perfect family but fairy tales don't last and soon the monsters come crawling back.”

Wow. This was just as I thought it would be. Awesome. I can’t wait for the next installment, cause frankly, leaving me with an ending like this, is just cruel…

I am torn on this book. In one aspect, it was great to see where Jude and Victoria are in the future because it was fun to see where they were personally. In the other aspect, I detested the ending of this story. DETESTED. I read romance for a reason, and no matter how good the story was up to that point, it wasn't what I had hoped for in a romance. As strong as a character as Jude was, I don't see him coming up with another option. I feel like I would have been better off just imagining what life is like for this little family than the reality of what the authors gave me.

Fantastic! I'm so hooked on the writing! Tor and Jude are living a life filled with shadows lurking in the corners. Can Tor keep her family safe? Will Jude fight for her? Will he be able to protect his daughter? A cliffhanger worthy of thrashing my ereader against the wall, I need the next book stat! A must read series!

Wire is book three in the Wrong Series. Jude and Tor are back with the addition of their daughter, Cayla. This story has one speed, full throttle. Hold on tight because you're in for an intense, dark and twisted roller coaster ride. The ending left my eye twitching.

They had been living happily for two years with their daughter but it was only a reprieve, the calm before the storm.

"But monsters rarely ever get a fucking fairy tale...and I know that."

An American, A Colombian and A Russian walk into a bar and all hell breaks loose. Jude hasn't given up his old ways, he's now working with Gabriel the leader of the Juarez cartel. Jude continues to launder dirty money but the difference is he now does it as a ghost. Well, that's until his past catches up to him and the Russians join the party.

"I'm having to choose between the two people I love most in the world and it breaks my heart. But ultimately there is no choice. It's Cayla, It will always be Cayla."

Tor has a new focus. She's now a mother and will do anything to protect her daughter. Even bargain against her husbands life. She's a woman on a mission and she will fight to the end. My heart hurt for her struggle.

This story is intense. Nail biting! I read it in one day because I couldn't put it down. The ending leaves us up in the air. I'm ready for the next book! Give me! Give me! 5 Stars

And the story just keeps going on. At times I was wondering why the authors didn't just let the story die with the second book, we didn't really need anything more as it seemed pointless at times. Jude couldn't just leave the crime behind and live a safe life with his girl and their daughter. Why have new bad guys and start it all over again. Never the less I still enjoyed it. It was not dark, twisted and sick like the second book in the series, but nonetheless still an interesting read.

Title: Wire
Author: Stevie J. Cole & LP Lovell

5 amazing stars



There's just something about Stevie J. Cole and LP Lovell that when they write together, you just can't help but take notice and think 'Holy crap, that was intense!' I've read many of their duets, but i hadn't had a chance to read their darker works. Don't get me wrong, The Game series had some dark elements, but it just doesn't seem to compare to their Wrong series. Individually, these authors are great, but together, they're amazing and unforgettable.

4.5 sexy dreams



I wish i had taken the time to read the previous books in the series because knowing what i do about Tor and Jude now, i can only imagine what they've gone through to get to the point they are now. Words fail me to truly describe how much i enjoyed this book and knew deep down that i'll be adding a new series, to my 'gotta start from the beginning for the full effect' list. So trust me when i say that Wire is absolutely worth it.
