I’m coming to pick up the pieces. To rebuild what I broke. I was mistaken when I thought taking down my father would restore my faith in love. Lauren did that with just a flash of a smile. She’s who I need, Whom I desire. The only person on this planet that I trust. I’m not leaving until I have her.

Yes!!! I couldn't have hoped for a better ending for the last book in this trilogy. As the action happens 7 years from where the 2nd book ends there is a lot of catching up to do from Vance and Lauren in regards to each other. One thing that hasn't changed though: their crazy chemistry!! And it's so palpable, you wish you would be in Lauren's place and experience those feelings. Lauren re-learns to trust, listen and look up to Vance again. And with his patience, love and tenderness it's hard not to. The danger is still there, shadowing their happiness once again but this time they fight together and what a beautiful battle there is!! Amazing secondary characters that gave this story so many laughing and colorful moments. I would love to read one day Marcy and Colt's story. And Yaya, with her wise and sassy moments..you gotta love her!! One thing I know for sure, I already miss all these characters and their stories in my life and that says a lot. Well done, Brooke!!
What an incredible final book in this trilogy! I loved the first 2 books and couldn't wait to dive into the final installment of Lauren and Vance's journey and it certainly was a journey--holy amazeballs! The trials and tribulations, twists and turns, angst and happiness --if you like getting into the heads of the characters you read; enjoy unique plots; desire well-developed secondary characters that bring color and life to the story; and you've been searching for the type of book that you can.not.put.down, then you must read this series! As has already been said, human sex trafficking is the underlying storyline but these books are so much more than that! I wholeheartedly recommend this series if you're looking for something that's different and will hold your interest through the entire series! 5+ stars!
OK... Have you ever read a series that you JUST COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF? Well... The Riptide Series had my brain going in all sort of different directions throughout the entire series I couldn't wait to devour the next in the series. Kind of Bittersweet that this was the final installment but I am hoping that there will be more down the road for the gang at The Shore. Ok.. So we pick back up after a few years away from the Shore to find that some demons never go away and may be closer than they seem.... Absolutely LOVE Vance and Lauren and Colt and Marcy and let's not forget YaYa.. I NEED these people in my life and that is because Brooke Page sucks you into each and every story and keeps you guessing till the very end!!!

Rebel by Brooke Page is book 3 in the Riptide Series. The books need to be read in order. In book 1 and 2 we met Vance Everett and Lauren Owens. They had a pretty steamy relationship for a few months at the shore and now they come face to face again 7 years later. Old feelings come rushing back. Most of those feelings never really left. There is a lot to find out in book 3 and I was just like wow!!! You definitely don’t want to miss out on this series. So much happens in book 3 that will just leave you speechless at times. Such a great read!!!!
The third installment of the Riptide series did not disappoint. It kept me on my toes, my heartstrings pulled, and my emotions all over the page. There was so much going on in this book. 7 years have passed since the last book. A lot of emotions, mysteries, and chemistry poured out of the pages. I had a hard time putting this down and so happy I found this author. Brooke Page has not disappointed. She certainly knows how to write a riveting read.
WOW .. Absolutely outstanding conclusion to this captivating series. It’s been entertainment at its absolute finest!! Each book in the series has been a breathtaking ride of high stakes danger, excitement and suspense. Don’t hesitate ..You definitely don’t want to miss this story with its incredibly complex characters and it’s controversial storyline .. This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy
I liked the story. The characters were interesting. However, my enjoyment of the three books was once again lessened by the lack of proper editing. It is very frustrating to me to find myself correcting errors while I am reading. Strangely, I would still recommend the trilogy.
If you have not read the first 2 books in this series ... STOP! Do not read this review as it contains spoilers.
Will Lauren forgive him for breaking her heart? Or will their secrets keep them apart?
I could not put this book down! It was just one twist after another. I could feel the chemistry between Lauren and Vance ... it was off the charts. I loved Lauren’s daughter ... she was so trusting of people and only saw the good in them. I thought this book had a whole different feeling from the first 2 books ... that is until the latter part of the book. And the ending ... I was not expecting that at all. This is a great series and I highly recommend it.
I graciously received an ARC courtesy of the author in exchange for a honest review.
Oh my, I really loved this book! It sent my feelings on a roller coaster. At first I was disappointed with how Vance handled things. Luckily he redeemed himself to me early on with his desire to fight for the woman he loved. There were so many twists I didn't see coming right away. The author did a great job keeping me guessing and made the wait worth every minute. *I recieved an Arc for my honest opinion.*
The twists and turns that Vance and Lauren have to continue to navigate are amazing. It's very apparent how strong their love still is for each other even with the tests they continue to face. It's nice to know that true love can withstand all the trials and tribulations that life throws at us and still win out in the end.
Wow! Brooke Page took this story in a completely different direction than how I imagined Vance and Lauren's story would end. Rebel was so intense with shocking plot twists, and I loved every minute of it! I highly recommend this trilogy!
I can easily say this was one of the best series I have read. I could not put the books down, I just might read them all again. Vance & Lauren are great lead characters, I loved their chemistry and their relationship. Colt & and Marcy as support characters are just as good. The series had a gripping well developed plot. You are kept guessing the whole way through and often think "I never saw that coming." The series is centered around the devious dark world of human trafficking and the plot was very cleverly developed so you did not know who all the villains were. I can honestly say the worst thing about this book is that it's the end of the series. I'm hoping that Brooke Page will surprise us with another episode. As there is adult content I recommend this book for 18+. I received this book as an ARC.
