Alyssa and Luke have been together for a year but Alyssa still has trouble opening up to Luke. Things become worse when Alyssa takes a job on Broadway in New York. They will be apart for six months and there will be many temptations in New York. The question becomes, Will Alyssa's recovery survive New York? Will her relationship with Luke?
This was a good book to wrap up the series the two finally had to focus on their relationship and not problems caused by exes. Alyssa and Luke had major communication issues despite the fact that they both loved each other a lot. I was heartbroken when they almost ended things for good in Hawaii but was so happy that Alyssa found a way to tell Luke how she really felt about him and I thought it was fitting that they return to Hawaii for their wedding.

In the beginning of the conclusion to Luke and Alyssa's story, things still are not great. Long distance is going to prove to be hard. It will either make or break them. She'll have to deal with all her old insecurities, by herself, since her career took her far from where Luke is.

I have to admit that this couple sorta drove me nuts with their will they, won't they back and forth business. There's a lot of angst again, and I was wondering, honestly, if they'd ever, ever get their happily ever after. The author did not let me down, though, and I was happy with them by the end. This has been one heck of a roller coaster of a journey they took. Angsty, steamy, and really, really emotional.

This was the third and final book in the Come Undone Series. This trilogy was very emotional in many ways and this book is no exception. The romantic saga of Alyssa and Luke continues. Grab some Kleenex because you'll need them. Emotional of full of passion and chemistry galore. A great ending that you will enjoy. I read an advance reader copy and voluntarily chose to review

This is the last installment in this emotional trilogy, and damn did I feel all the emotions with this one.

Alyssa, whom I seem to like more and more as the series goes on, is finally getting what she wants career wise, but in choosing to leave will her relationship with Luke crash and burn?

There were times that I didn't think Alyssa and Luke could ever get back to a truly stable place in their relationship, and with her being so closed off at times, and his unwillingness to see her side of things at times, I really thought this wouldn't end up in an HEA. I'm so, so glad it did though!

Luke, while he did drive me crazy sometimes, is one of my favorite male leads. I loved the way he loved Alyssa, and even though the distance hurt them at times, I really think it was the best thing for them. It truly proved that what they were fighting for all along was right, and they have a love that's so true, so passionate, and worth fighting for.

Be prepared to cry all the tears during this emotional installment! It's truly my favorite in the series

Love always wins

I received an advanced copy of this manuscript and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Alyssa is finally at the height of her career and is getting rolls that she wants and when the biggest opportunity arrives she is afraid to take it because that means being away from Luke for awhile but when she does take it all her insecurities that she tries to hide wont go in to the box that she keeps them in and that puts a big problem between her and Luke. Luke has his own law firm now and with that comes long hours and that is a problem because Alyssa's insecurities with what happened with Ryan and how she was with him still plays apart in her head and Luke tries to get her to open up but she just pushes him away and its worse when she is on the other side of the country she can close her self off even more and he gets flustered with it and keeps trying to pry open her head and that puts a big strain on there relationship but even though they are afraid to get hurt they managed to work it out in the end but not without a lot work and some ups and downs but there love for each other is strong enough that it helps them concur all there fears

Come to me is the third and last book in the Come Undone Trilogy by Crystal Kaswell.

I really loved Alyssa and Luke from the start, and couldn’t wait to read this one last book, hoping they’ll get their deserved HEA.

If I thought the second book in the trilogy was emotional, I didn’t know what was coming, for sure this one is even more. Really, I had to read it as close as possible to a tissues box, all the time.
There’s a lot of drama, when Alyssa takes a job things in their relationship get, even more, complicated. She’s closed off, and sometimes that drove me crazy. I wanted so much to their relationship to succeed… but sometimes through the reading, I really thought they’ll won’t make it, then got back to believe they could make it work.

This book is super emotional, but also steamy and full of drama and angst. Is really well written, and I could totally connect with the characters. I couldn’t stop reading! A perfect ending to an awesome trilogy.

"I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced copy of this manuscript"
I panicked! I really panicked for a second there... That's what a good book will do to you! When you are so invested in the story, so in love with the characters that you live every second of their tale as if it was your own! But it was a wonderful ending to a wonderful series!! An addictive mix of steamy romance and socio/psychological analysis of all the consequences of fame or the pressure put on us everyday! A real rollercoaster ride with issues that were very close to home, at least for me! Mental illness in relationships is still a taboo and a difficult subject of conversation when it comes to society, especially nowadays! In this "love yourself" and "put yourself first" era it's already extremely difficult to just manage a "normal" relationship. So managing one with someone who's struggling is quite challenging... But in pure Crystal Kaswell's style you are reminded with an amazing book that all you need is love...

Allyssa and Luke at a loss, but don’t give up
Come To Me by Crystal Kaswell is a well written book that is emotionally dramatic. While I mean that in a good way, it did leave me wondering throughout the book how it would all come together happily at the end. Allyssa and Luke really struggle to maintain their connection while 3000 miles apart for their jobs. For me, Allyssa and Luke’s story highlights how important communication is. These two have the emotional capacity to love one another, accepting of flaw not to mention explosive chemistry. However, if there’s an unwilling to talk and share what one is feeling, there’s likely to be more sadness and pain than joy and love.
Overall a very well written book that this author takes her characters through some highly dramatic and painful moments that in the end help them realize what they really want and what needs to happen to get them the HEA they deserve.
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.

I love Crystal Kaswell! What an amazing end to a fantastic trilogy. Alyssa's career move takes her 3,000 miles away to New York and Broadway while Luke stays behind in California. Luke is living his own dream of owning his own practice and helping people on his terms. Luke and Alyssa struggle to maintain their relationship while they are apart. Will the long distance and insecurities bring Luke and Alyssa's relationship crumbling down leaving them both with broken hearts? Will Alyssa finally open up to Luke the way he wants her to? Will Alyssa and Luke finally get their happily ever after? I really loved Come To Me by Crystal Kaswell. Come to Me has drama, angst, steam, chemistry, and lots of emotion. I would Highly Recommend getting Come to Me, Come Undone, and Come Apart by Crystal Kaswell. What an amazing trilogy that will take the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.

Come to me

I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Well I just loved all 3 of these books. Come to me ended the series perfectly. This story was beautiful, showing that love can conquer all but it’s not always going to be simple. Ally was so damaged in so many ways and I felt her journey from the first book right up until the final pages and seeing how far she had come. She had strength but also vulnerability and showed she didn’t need a man but wanted him.
Oh Luke, how I swooned. He was the perfect hero. Loving and supportive even through the most difficult times. It took a lot for him to walk away but he knew he had to do it for himself and for Ally.
A wonderful ending to a beautiful love story (and lets not forget the hot sex!), Crystal Kaswel does it again, I cannot wait for her next book

[Kate · Rating 3 out of 5]

The third book in this series is my least favorite. Maybe it's cause I could not relate to Alyssa. I have dealt with a long-distance relationship, and while it's hard, it's not impossible. Alyssa constantly doubts herself and I don't know why. She is talented and really gets into her part, but then she pulls away from Luke. Luke bends over backward to help her and she just takes advantage of it and plays the "poor me" card. Who doesn't think about the future with the person they're with? Especially after two years. Luke needs to run away. I also didn't care how in the end everything is awful then bam Alyssa is fixed and they live happily ever after. This book made me feel sorry for Luke and made me dislike Alyssa more than before.

What a emotional ride! Welp, I'm sad Ally and Lukes story is over. They have had a emotional ride together on their path of self discovery and love. Honestly I didn't know by the middle of the story if they were going to have their HEA. They both had a lot of insecurities they haven't worked out yet and have only been together barley 2 years. Ally goes to New York to work on Broadway and Luke stays behind in Cali. The back and forth and unsureness was getting frustrating. But the story is realistic and thats the best part of the story how real it was. People have lots of ups and downs, lots of insecurities and life is always wanting you to learn more. This is a beautifully written story Crystal does a excellent job channeling each characters emotions throughout. Read this triolgy you will love it!

[Kris · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the last book in the come undone series. I really adore Alyssa and Luke. They have great chemistry. Alyssa is kind of closed off. She doesn’t share herself easily. It begins to cause problems in their relationship.

Alyssa takes a job. That is when the drama begins. We watch the couple struggle to make the relationship work.

I experienced a range of emotions while reading this book. Sometimes I thought things would workout. Other times not so much. I loved these characters together so I felt so much as they each struggled to love each other despite the issues.

Good work from Crystal Kaswell. I felt more emotion, more sweetness. More vulnerability. Pulled at my heart all the way thru. I wanted to keep reading because I just had to know what came next.

[Jackie D · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an emotional tug of war this story has been!
The third and final story between Luke and Alyssa wrung me out to dry while wrapping me up in all the feels!
I have been all over the place- right along with Luke and Alyssa as they sorted through mountains of baggage.
Frustrations aplenty I thought to myself many times this couple may have banging chemistry, but they don't seem like a good match.
Well, as in real life, Ms. Kaswell took all the good and the bad times, dissected them, and let the characters decide how it got put back together.
Giving me a new perspective on both as individuals, and as a couple, and making for a dynamic ending to an emotional cluster of words!
I highly recommend reading all three books!

The End of the Trilogy

I finished book 2, Come Apart and was left hopeful for the last of the trilogy. Crystal is an amazing writer and she draws you into the characters. This story is no different.

Unfortunately, these characters drove me absolutely nuts! I got to the point where I just wanted to yell at Luke to do Alyssa from the get go. She was so frustrating from the get go. Her constant whining and “poor me, nobody understands what’s going on in my head” moments made me bonkers.

The hot sex scenes are here, the arcs are here and as always, the other characters are well written.

If you are a fan of Crystal Kaswell’s, this is a must read. Just be prepared for the frustration with these characters.

[K Reynolds · Rating 5 out of 5]

As it should be


This last book offers the perfect end for this fantastic trilogy.

There's just enough struggle without being over the top. Our characters grow and sacrifice to make sure the HEA they both deserve and have fought demons and the world for comes to be.

I recommend these books and can say you'll have the satisfaction of a journey well told and experienced.


I requested and received arc copies of the whole series and chose to read them all before reviewing them. This is my honest opinion and not influenced in any way. I do recommend reading when you're able to read the trilogy together - it enhances the experience.

[Loralie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Alyssa and Luke's relationship, even from the beginning, has been far from "normal." I figured it was about time they rode off into the sunset with each other. I was wrong. I know real life isn't always sunshine and roses, but I felt the pain they were both going through. It almost seemed like they couldn't align their happiness and both be happy at the same time. I was frustrated and wanted to throw my phone while reading. That is what a good story does. It makes you feel, good or bad. No matter if the story has a happy ending, a great tale makes you react. I received an advance of this story and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

[Raecharmed · Rating 5 out of 5]

Luke and Alyssa start to struggle with the long distance part of the relationship. They have issues with communicating with each other and soon old insecurities rear their head. Alyssa wants to further her career and still be with Luke and he is trying to be understanding of her decision. Will the distance be a stumbling block they can't manage? Can they tell each other what they are feeling and going through?

This is a great ending to this series but its an emotional and frustrating one. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

[Bethanne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok

This is the least interesting of the three books in this series. It was actually hard to finish because I realized how much I dislike the lead female character. She's so messed up psychologically and it doesn't seem she is in therapy although she mentioned a therapist. I just ended up not caring if she ate dessert again as long as she stopped making herself and everyone around her miserable. The last scene was ludicrous.. After refusing to marry and being in a panic over the idea of getting married the relationship ends and then suddenly they are getting married. Nope...don't believe it.

[Melissa Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Crystal Kawell. She takes you there in the moment with the characters. You feel the pain, the love, the passion all the feels along with Alyssa and Luke. You are not on the sidelines you are in it. This book is the third installment of the series You will be cheering them on to their reach the magical moments, as you take the crazy ride with them. Miles may separate them but isn’t true love meant to overcome. This is a must read tale of epic love. Get your copy today. I had the pleasure of reading an advanced copy.

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

Come To Me is the third and final book in the Come Undone series. While it is a complete story, reading book one first is recommended.

I enjoyed this book, but I preferred the first two in this series. The writing was fantastic and so were the characters. Alyssa and Luke have been a very interesting couple to follow through this series. Crystal does an amazing job pulling the reader into these character's lives. I enjoyed reading all the twists and turns they went through during all three books. 4 stars

[K. Smock · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 Stars! Come to Me is the third book in this Trilogy and it does not disappoint. Intriguing story and characters. Lots of angst along with dreams coming true. Alyssa is getting what she always wanted though what will it cost her? Luke is finally in his won practice, helping his clients the way he wants. But, will the distance between them break them apart or will they be able to work it out? Can Alyssa open up enough for Luke? Who will have to sacrifice? Good conclusion to this series.

A beautiful, emotional conclusion to this fabulous epic Romance between Alyssa and Luke.
They have already been through so much and yet they are still facing challenges that they have to overcome.I love Luke and Alyssa the love they have for one another has not been easy and I was just hoping for them to get their HEA.
This was a very passionate, steamy and touching book that I could not put down,Crystals writing as always is perfect and I felt everything that this story projected.
I loved it and it was the ideal ending to this magnificent trilogy.

[Pauline · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this heart wrenching, heart warming conclusion to the Come Undone trilogy, Alyssa's career is taking off and with that is the opportunity to star in a play on Broadway, three thousand miles away from Luke. Although neither want to be apart, they both realize the opportunity this affords. But with Alyssa still on her journey of recovery, she lacks the faith in herself that she can survive on her own. With a lot of angst and emotional ups and downs, it really was touch and go as to whether Alyssa and Luke would end up with their HEA, but thankfully they do. Great series.

[Misty Warner · Rating 5 out of 5]

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. This is the last book of the trilogy and what a way to go. Make sure you have tissues handy when reading this one.
Alyssa and Luke are struggling with all the miles between them and different time zones are making it seem impossible to communicate. It seems like the universe is against them. When Alyssa's show is over can they go back to the way they were or has the miles made them even further apart.
This book was so good and the ending was so beautiful. I'm sad to see this series come to an end.

[Sissy's Romance Book Review · Rating 5 out of 5]

Come to Me by Crystal Kaswell is book Three in the Come Undone Series. This continues the story of Alyssa and Luke, so you really should read the previous books: Come Undone, Come Apart before reading this one. Alyssa in this book has chosen to further her career and that has taken her away from Luke for several months. In this book we are dealing with their distance at first but this did settle in to them finding their perfect ending for them.
This has been an emotional series that I have really enjoyed.

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally! (Spoilers included)

Alyssa Summers is in love with Luke Lawrence but she just can’t quite commit herself to him fully. Lots of reasons from her past and other things get in the way. She drove me crazy with her wish-washy attitudes and non-commital stance. I considered her a coward and indecisive and I was ready to strangle her. The entire book was like that with Luke chasing but trying not to push and her behaving ridiculous. That’s the reason for only 4 stars. Still I’m glad there was a conclusion to their story that finally ended in a HEA!

[Teal Wolf · Rating 5 out of 5]

Come To Me is book three in the Come Undone trilogy by Crystal Kaswell. Alyssa and Luke's story concludes in this fantastic final installment of the series. Can they survive the latest tests to their commitment?

Drama, angst, steam... this book delivers a well written and interesting storyline with characters we have grown to really care about. I got a bit emotional with these two, Luke and Alyssa... I really rooted for them and needed a Happily Ever After.

I received an advanced copy of this manuscript and am voluntarily leaving an honest review. They found each other when Alyssa was previously in a terrible relationship, they made it past Luke’s ex fiancé trying to come between them, but can they make it through the next test of their relationship? Alyssa has an amazing opportunity for work, the only catch it is in New York for 6 months. You can feel the struggle that they both go through, in this well written book. I definitely recommend this end to the trilogy. Kaswell has outdone herself once again.

[Jennifer McCarthy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was the trilogy conclusion to Alyssa and Luke's story. Unfortunately, I don't really like Alyssa and I felt it dragged on to get their HEA. However, by this book I wanted Luke to ditch her and find a new woman! Alyssa constantly keeping everything bottled up was very frustrating. She was so wishy washy with her feelings that I really felt for Luke. I am glad they were able to work out their issues.

I received an ARC for my honest review.
