Can a monster ever find redemption?

Free from her captor, author Molly Clary finds herself back at home, but she's just as lost as ever. In the isolation of her new-found freedom, Molly makes a startling revelation; she can no longer function without Connor Reilly. She can't write without him; she can't live without him.

The admission leads Molly into the most intense and dangerous chapter of her twisted love affair yet, and by reaching out to Connor again, she must decide if she can really leave her old life behind to venture into the dark and mysterious confines of the organization known only as The Syndicate.

For a couple whose love is built on lust, and fear and submission, there should be no happy ending. But as Molly helps her kidnapper lay his ghosts to rest, the question beckons, can they forge their own brand of happiness regardless? Can Connor finally be delivered into a consensual union with his kitten, and will it be enough to satisfy both of their dark needs?

Buy the captivating conclusion to The Dark Necessities trilogy, and devour this tantalizing finale.

This book contains dark and twisted scenes. You have been warned...

Decadently Damaged and Depraved!

“Entwined” is the final entry in “The Dark Necessities” trilogy and offers readers closure to events, developments and questions posed in the previous episodes. Liberated from her captor, Molly is provided the opportunity to recover and reclaim her former life. Readers vicariously undergo the emotional as well as psychological turmoil and confusion of an abduction victim, including the difficult experience of returning to normalcy after such a traumatic event. Recognizing her conflicting feelings toward Connor (her captor), Molly must decide if reestablishing contact with Conner is rational considering his propensity toward psychopathic behavior or if connecting with him is even possible. Meanwhile Conner is an ocean away, protected from the authorities by The Syndicate and examining his past actions as well as obsession with Molly. Additionally, Conner’s background, family relationships and involvement with The Syndicate is revealed as well as the exact nature of the organization. To my delight the author retains Connor’s anti-hero status by preserving his dark, damaged and depraved qualities, while tempering his darkness as well as providing various avenues to seek redemption. Professionally written, extremely fast paced, unpredictable and exceedingly erotic “Entwined” is a seamless conclusion to such a decadent trilogy. Hopefully, secondary characters will be the focus of upcoming novels with a more in-depth view into the inner-workings of The Syndicate!

A perfect ending to this dark and twisted trilogy

If you've read the first two book, Taken and Tamed, then I'm pretty certain you won't be disappointed with the finale to this fantastic dark romance series. This can't be read as a stand alone, so you do need to read the other two books first. The Dark Necessities trilogy is very aptly named, because once you ventured into it's murky depths it soon becomes necessary to read the entire series. Molly and Connor will totally capture your heart, mind and soul with their wicked tale of depravity, denigration and desire.

This isn't as intensely dark as the previous two books, but it is just as captivating and smoking hot. We see some significant changes for both Molly and Connor, they must tread a pathway where freedom and choice is tempered by want, need and responsibility. They evolve and grow into a couple so very perfect for each other, a pairing where their dark edges merge and blend seamlessly.

I totally adore both of them, their relationship consumed me in a way that makes me want to never let them go. The writing is wonderful, it drew me in and kept me engaged throughout. The pace was perfect, the plot was unpredictable and their emotions held me in the moment.

The Dark Necessities Trilogy is an absolute must read. Unless you're a lover of dark reads it will push your boundaries, but it is so very worth that journey. I'm a bit sad now that the adventure is over, I almost didn't want to read the last few chapters just so that the story wouldn't end.

Unlike the 1st two books this one doesn’t start right when the other one ends but a couple months down the road. Molly is back in the US trying to live her life with out Conner. I really enjoyed that part of the book and when Molly decided to return to Conner and the syndicate. To be honest most of the book I enjoyed. It wasn’t until the talk about penance for Lydia that it started to loose some of the fire for me. I felt like Conners penance was unnecessary to the storyline. I would of preferred more focus on Molly as Conner’s pet versus everything with Lydia. There was very little humiliation of molly like the previous books. I liked those aspects of the other books I think it showed how Molly and Conner were perfect for each other. When Molly went back to Conner she agreed to be his pet again but those aspects of their story were glossed over in a couple of lines. So we know that she eats out of a dog bowl and gets spanked but we don’t get to know how Molly and Conner felt during those times. All in all if you read the first two books you need to see all the story ends. And as always it’s a nice long book.

When I started reading this trilogy, I knew it was going to be dark. Normally I don't read dark stories like this but the snippets I saw intrigued me so I jumped right in. Oh My!!!! I jumped into a world that kept me on the edge of my seat (well my bed because that's where I read). The third book was just as good as the first two books. Molly is free from Connor and back home but just can't seem to function without him. Twisted? Yes and no! When Conner connects with her, she is almost at her wits end as to what to do with her life. I soooo much loved this story. It may have started out as him holding her hostage and doing depraved things with her, but this turned into a love story I couldn't see happening. Will Conner be able to overcome his past? Will Molly leave him again? If you've read the first 2 books, you NEED to read this to complete the story!!!

Who knew twisted and depraved was so delicious..Felicity Brandon, of course. If you’ve had the deviant pleasure of reading the first two books in this series you owe it to yourself to read Entwined. To read the culmination of Molly and Connor’s story is like having a cigarette after a nice hot sweaty round of rolling in the sheets. I was waiting with bated breath for this final story. It’s breathtaking. You don’t want to miss this.

I read and reviewed a copy of this book.

Entwined is the conclusion to The Dark Necessities Trilogy, and since it's a dark & twisty journey, you HAVE TO READ IN ORDER Taken (Book 1), and Tamed (Book 2), FIRST! This is not a suggestion! Now, Felicity Brandon has blown me away with this dark romance kidnap thriller as it's labeled, because honestly, she's taken me out of my comfort zone. I have had issues with Connor this whole time, like wanted to cut him, issues. I don't pretend to know why Molly misses her muse after finally getting away from him, after everything he did to her, but I find that I can't stop needing to know more. Does that make any sense?! If so, please explain it to me. I mean there were all kind of twists throughout that tried to explain it to me, but the f-bomb dropping took over all rational thought. So then I was spending my time between wanting to still cut him, yet wanting to hug him. Yeah, again, does it make sense? There's so much at play here that I'm twisted all up inside so it's an experience that I'll have to revisit again to see if it becomes any clearer because this author is diabolically brilliant & she messed with my mind. I mean there's no other way to put it, but trust me, it's a journey worth taking! This ending to the Trilogy has me all WOW & HOLY HELL WHAT DID I JUST READ! So I'll just end my insane thought pattern with HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDING TO ALL!

I received this book and am leaving an honest review. What a brillent, creative way to end this remarkable dark romance series. We find Molly who is free from her captor and finally at home, but she is unable to write, she misses her muse. Even after all the things Connor did to her she finds herself reaching out to him as she realizes she is in love and needs him more than ever. Connor can't forget his kitten and needs her in his life so they reach out to each other and meet up again in England. With the blessing of the Syndicate, Connor has to convince Molly that she belongs with him but at a cost, she needs to leave her life behind to be with him. Her submission to Connor is stronger, emotional than ever and she helps him seek redemption for the things he did to her and Lydia. Can the monster be saved, will their union satisfy the dark needs they both crave and need? The writing and plot will have you on edge as well as the emotions you will feel for these two characters, the ending will leaving you hating to say goodby but it will leave you exhilarated. Felicity has done a wonderful job with this series and this is one you won't want to miss.

What a thrilling ending to an outstanding series!
Molly is having conflicting thoughts about her experience and time with Connor.
And especially her feelings towards him.
Her mind knows what’s right. But her heart isn’t following suit.
Across the other side of the pond Connor is also contemplating his actions.
He feels lost with Molly.
As the book progresses secrets and mysteries are revealed and questions are answered.
I love the first two books especially the second one.
But this one as just as good as the others.
Ms. Brandon did one spectacular job with the fantastic series!
Entwined flows smoothly and is paced perfectly.
Connor and Molly are one unforgettable couple.
I loved how the author had them grow and expand.
But without them losing their essence.
I highly recommend this series for all those that like/love dark romances.

CONTROL. DEVOTION. TWISTED LOVE STORY WITH AN AMAZING END.

Connor and Molly - words can not describe this book and how their story has developed to this point. I loved this story. It shows love, devotion, control - the basis of their whole entire story. It wraps everything up in a nice, neat, extremely hot package.It makes me so so happy that Molly and Connor get their happy ending and become partners and not just Master and Kitten.

One twist to the story Connor’s display of devotion. It was an unexpected turn of events for sure. I loved it so much and you need to read this book to see how the tables turn.

I’m so sad this this is the end of this story, but I know with this author that is more and better to come. She writes in detail and wraps you up in the story. You are part of the characters world and you can’t stop turning pages. Thank you for this amazing story and Connor and Molly!!

You have to read the precious books to read this book. Their story started with Taken, then went to Tamed. Look it up and buy them!!

**This book was given to me as an ARC. All of my opinions are my own.

This book is the third and final one in this series. Wow!! All I can say is wow! I loved the second book and didn't think it was gonna get any better but it did. You really start to fall for Connor in this book his softer side definitely comes through more with Molly as she doesn't suffer so much humiliation in this book as with the previous two.

This story doesn't pick up straight after the one before as did the other two it picks up months after where we find Molly back in America, back to "normality" thinking she can get back in to her writing everything will be ok. Only that she can't write without Connor he's in her thoughts all the time, she can't function without out and as we find out Connor is the same he can't function without her. What will it take for Molly to be back in the arms of Connor? We find out a hell of a lot more about the syndicate also in this book.

All in all been a cracker of a series and even though book one starts off a bit slow boy oh boy does it grab you and not let go as the series goes on.

It took me a couple of days after I finished reading this to actually write this. I needed to process all the feelz I got from the story. Molly and Connor's story has been intense and a roller coaster and I had the carpet yanked out from under me more than once while I was reading the entire story. This one was no different.

I actually had to take a break in reading during this for a couple of hours and start a new book. The feelz were so strong and I was feeling so affected by the story that I had to take a breath so that I could actually catch my breath.

I got so mad at Connor during certain times of the series, but never so mad as I did in this book, and I actually like him a lot in this one. I think I felt sorriest for Molly during this one, but I think that she really came into her own power and her own strength.

I loved this story. I think it's fantastic and I'm sad that I'll never be able to read it for the first time again.

What a moving conclusion to Felicity Brandon’s trilogy. Entwined (Book Three in the Dark Necessities Trilogy) lives up to its title. Both Molly and Connor’s lives are entwined together, they are lost apart and miss each other. Once they are reunited they become whole again. Molly feels bound to Conner in an unexplainable way and in her words “It’s us. We make this magic together, Connor.” I found that this trilogy took me on a gamut of emotions both high and low, especially in this last book. I so wanted it to end the way it did. I had a smile on my face and a cheer in my heart as Molly and Connor were finally able to give in to their love for each other. I highly recommend this book and series to everyone and I will miss that it is over. I only hope that Felicity Brandon writes another wonderfully compelling story soon.

This third book is where the real romance comes in. You will fall in love with Connor just like Molly does. Yes you do end up liking him. Gasp! Yep trust me on this one. Third warning...it’s a dark romance with kinks that not even Christian Grey would dream of touching. If Fifty Shades of Grey was too much for you then you need to think hard before reading this book. This book pulls the story together from the first two books and we get our HEA. Or as much of a HEA you can get with a man like Connor.

This is the third and final book in this trilogy, and this phenomenal series needs to be read in order. Molly is now free from her captor and at home, yet she is lost without Connor. No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written flawless story, which is dark, twisted, depraved, and dangerous, which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I cannot wait to read more from this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all lovers of a dark romance.

Well this book truly wraps up his trilogy. After someone's escape, Molly finds herself back home in America, but safe and secure with friends and family is the last thing she feels. With deep longing for the man who kidnapped her she is lost in an abyss. Unable to function, write she seeks her tormentors out. Connor now lost without his kitten, will do anything to reclaim the woman who's changed him, together their relationship takes on a new turn, with redemption and resolve before they can look toward a future together. A great end to this dark series.

The Powerlessness of Love

Wow this gripping conclusion to The Dark Necessities Trilogy by the amazing author Felicity Brandon was stupendous! This unique plot had everything and was oh so intriguing with rich men’s secret societies, murder, sadism, abduction and suspense in the spadesful that keeps you on your toes the whole way through this highly recommended read!
Could Molly now move on now that the trial is over and move forward in her life? Her prose in her writing was her medium, her life’s passion! Is writers block her guilt and punishment! Will and can Molly continue to protect Connor her captor with his dark secret! Can she throw off the haunting shadow of Connor and return to her normal life? Or will The Syndicate intervene with what she knows?

Taken and Tamed, are such fantastic dark romance books, it is twisted with such murky depths it is necessary to read the series. Molly and Connor's story will destroy you.
This book is not as dark as the other books. Molly and Connor,must find a new path where they can fuel the needs and desires of each other. Can they develop into a couple and make their own way into a HEA? I think this is a perfect ending into what started out as a very dark and daring read.

The last book of this trilogy - a perfect ending to a fabulous story. After reading the first book I didn’t know what to think. The book lingered for a long while. The second one, then I was more prepared. It also lingered.
This third book was a bit different then the others, but not in a bad way. I felt very happy for Connor and Molly. There were laughter and heart ache as well as sadness. A lot of emotions.

Molly was back home but wasn’t happy. She goes to visit her parents and pretends to write even though she can’t. She eventually goes back to her own place and decides to open her readers site where Connor said he contacted her.
Connor had to get permission to contact Molly and gets s secure side and gets in touch. Molly answers and they eventually Skype each other. Connor asks Molly to come to him he sends money and they meet in a remote spot.
Molly and Connor eventually get back together and she goes to stay with him but that is not the end that is only the start of there adventure I’m not going to spoil the rest only to say you must read. I received this for an honest review.

This was the perfect conclusion to the trilogy where we get to see real feelings and Connors dark life he belongs to and its dangerous, twisted and sadistic and has you on the edge of your seat waiting for something to happen and oh boy does it ever and I was so shocked and couldn't believe it. Connor and Molly are perfect together with still some issues but it was like they are drawn to each other no matter the situation and the craving for each other as they bury themselves in each other not knowing how to live any other way. It was such a good ending to their story and did them justice in every way.

Totally fucked up and hot as hell!

Wow! Book 3 the final in the series is so dark and twisted and so hot it’s ridiculous! Connor and Molly’s story is as screwed as they get but it keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more. Would love a story on Dalton, Connor’s brother maybe next?? Pick up Taken the first book in the series. You won’t be disappointed!

This is the final chapter of Molly n Connie's story. This is absolutely for the lovers of dark romance. It should be read in order. So u must read the first two books before picking up this one. Molly is free now but all the more lost now without Connor. Human emotions are contradictory n multilayered. I think we don't need to agree with leading characters in order to like the story. Most of the time I couldn't understand molly but was rooting for her HEA with Connor. He is the least likable hero I have read till date. No offense. Not meant for faint hearted.need to applaud MS Brandon for writing an out of the box story.

The last book in the series and we find out what happens after. That is something you don't see a lot

I am not sure how I feel about this book. I loved the beginning of the book a lot. Finding out what happens and how both characters were doing and how affected they were after all the events from the previous books. They weren't the same two people from before. It was so interesting to read.

But I think I missed the intensity of the previous books and I enjoyed the characters more before. Saying they were more fun, is probably not the right choice of words, but that is I felt.

This wasn't a bad book by any means. I was left wanting though.... something felt like it was missing. Maybe it was that, like a bad Friday date night, the climax seemed premature. I'm not sure what it was. I've been attempting to put my finger on it.

I would say that as a trilogy sum of the parts was a 4-star... honestly, if I had read them all back to back the final book might have made more sense as far as the story arc goes.

The first book in this trilogy went in a direction I wasn't necessarily comfortable with. As I read the 2nd and now this one, it went in a direction I didn't see coming. I really enjoyed how Connor and Molly's story evolved. Their need to have each other is kind of intense after everything.

Wasn't as impressed with this book as I was with the first two. I found Connor too indulgent with Molly. He basically did a 360 in this book. I know he was trying to redeem himself and correct the wrongs he committed but it just seemed like Molly was topping from the bottom. There was no darkness left to him.

Oh good heavens! I thought this wa ms going to be one of those flat endings. Nope! We pick up with a very unahappy Molly and a morose Connor. And then...no spoilers here, but, I can say that in my head I would scold Molly, but in the end, I rooted for her. All I can say it was very unexpected and very satisfying read!

I have to give this book five stars because it was the massive train wreck of an ending I was hoping for and expecting. I have to give the author props for trying to make Connor a more sympathetic and redeeming character but it fell flat for me. And I already considered the characters be flat to begin with. Lots of eye rolling this book. Even more than the previous two.
