Book Boyfriend #3
Euphoria
Re-releasing on Jan 19, 2020 with new covers and edits
After a series of catastrophic misunderstandings and impulsively poor decision-making, Scarlett MacGregor finds herself once again torn between two loves, as different as they may be. Lacking proper closure with their relationship, accompanied by the overwhelming guilt for her role in his devastating downfall, Scarlett resolves to help Mason recover and reclaim his life as a budding rock star. However, now that he has finally claimed her as his, Ash Walker is bound and determined to keep her by his side, and he will go to any lengths necessary to do just that.
Mason Templeton has hit rock bottom. He’s in love with a girl whose heart and soul belong to another and he’s partied his way off of an international music tour that was supposed to be his big break. Returning home for rehab sounds like the worst possible way to start a new year, but when an unexpected friendship emerges, he begins to realize that maybe everything does happen for a reason.
Euphoria is the third installment of Scarlett, Ash, and Mason’s self-discovering journeys to happiness and understanding the meaning of true love ~ the kind that begs for complete surrender.

I can’t tell you how excited I was to read Euphoria. I absolutely loved and gave 5 stars to the first two books. I’ve been waiting for the third, waiting to get more of my Ash. But this.. I can't even with this. I wanted to love it but WHY. Why why why!?
I don’t even know what to say about the book. I’m just in shock, distraught and a complete mess. I guess all I want to know is WHY? I am just so unhappy with how things turned out. It’s not about what ‘team’ I’m on. It’s not about who she ended up with. It’s about HOW it happened, HOW her choice was made. I don’t want to review and spoil anything so this is all your getting from me. I can’t review it. I’m just going to go into my little bubble and pretend I never read this one and book 2 is the end.
TEAM ASH FOREVER!!!

ONE STAR? TWO? FIVE? WHO KNOWS ...
I'm not sure what to say, to think or to feel ... Erin Noelle, what have you done to me? I'm struggling to know where to start, but the beginning is probably my best bet, at the start of this trilogy book one of this series was a loveable, fabulous, albeit messed up five stars. I loved the authors quirky tale and characters, I knew that this was a series I'd never want to say goodbye to ... Then came book two and let's just say it was a car crash of emotions, but it still held my love and attention and of course I was still riding on my Team Ash cloud of love. Those books lead me to today, those books brought me to the third and final book in the series and this book has led me to feel honestly confused, conflicted and overall disappointed. Here are my I'm nowhere near 'Euphoria' book thoughts ...
What's it all about ...
This is book three in a trilogy that centres around the lives of Scarlett, Ash, Mason and their friends. After a heart breaking, angst filled past Scarlett is moving forward with the love of her life, her heart has finally found it's home and her life is feeling settled. But nothing is as easy as It seems and her heart still feels split into two. Ash knows what he wants, he only sees Scarlett in his future and he'll do whatever it takes to keep her there, Scarlett is his everything and he won't let her forget it. Mason is finally learning to love himself and is getting his life in order, after all he knows he needs to do everything to prove to the love of his life that he deserves her love. Follow the continued journey in the most epic of all love triangles as Scarlett, Ash and Mason navigate through life, it's hardships and a forever ending.
What did I like?
Well aside from my disappointment and heartbreak, this author can certainly write, she has a way of drawing in her audience and bringing a story to life, so I guess I can blame her talent for creating the havoc that has currently taken residence in my heart. I've never felt so conflicted about rating a book in my life, on the one hand Erin Noelle has brought me to a place where I have fallen in love with her fictional characters, she is undoubtably a talented author and I know I'll read books by this author in the future ... But I feel cheated, I feel torn apart, and most of all I don't feel like the series has given me closure at all. Mason and Ash both deserve a huge star each, these characters will stay with me for some time to come, and I loved their unending love and soul-searching passion for the woman they loved. If life was easy and love a breeze then maybe I could have seen the perfect ending for both these characters but as it was, it wasn't meant to be. To conclude the things that I liked about this book, at the very end of the trilogy, I sat back, holding my kindle and smiled through the tears. Erin Noelle provoked a huge range of emotions in me whilst I read this series, I felt the highs and lows in equal measure and if nothing else this trilogy is truly unforgettable.
Why not five?
I don't want to be overly negative, I think it's obvious where I stand with my feelings on the overall 'feel' of this book. But there are two main reasons why this book didn't reach five stars: number one, Scarlett. Number two, the storyline and conclusion to the trilogy.
Final thoughts ...
Oh Erin Noelle, your trilogy was a journey and a half, I will forever be TEAM ASH, his love and devotion from the start captured my heart and I'm sad to say goodbye ... Erin Noelle is undoubtably an amazing author with a talent for writing books that stir up a host of emotions that are often times breathtaking and at times heartbreaking. The series didn't end on a high for my reading tastes, but you may love this messed up love trilogy ... Go check it out readers, enjoy kisses.

2.75 "I Turned In All My Wings" Stars
What’s to say?
Let’s start with would I recommend to my friends to start this series?
Thoughts on series as a whole:
The first book of this series had so much POTENTIAL! I enjoyed the story even though from the get go I didn’t care for the main character Scarlett. I did however love Mason and even Ash is pretty cool. So book one both guys fall hard for Scarlett and we have a love triangle. Scarlett is Ash’s “Butterfly” and she’s Mason’s “Angel”. Scarlett is home schooled beauty who finds that she sucks at making decisions and that everyone thinks she’s…
Book Two of this series…I HATED. Scarlett went from virginal and inexperienced to heart crusher and made a million stupid decisions while both guys are still crazy about her.
I left that book still Team Mason but would have been okay if the story went man on man and Ash and Mason fell in love and Scarlett was left alone.
That brings me to this final book of this series… what did I think?
I thought the author had something for the first 86 percent of the story. Scarlett decides she will be faithful to Ash and be a friend to Mason. Mason goes through rehab and his band is skyrocketing.
Then the author pulled and I don’t even know what to say at this point. She referred to for great quotes…so if you’re going to go for broke with that type of ending, I strongly feel that falling back on other’s who nailed it is just flat out weak.
No one likes a love triangle to end by default.
Overall, the story was fast paced, not boring at all but I was DISAPPOINTED.
I’ll stick to my ending in my head that Ash and Mason are hot and heavy in some hotel room and Scarlett is left all alone.

December 17, 2013**** review on the ACTUAL book now ****
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
LIKE FOR REALS?
So I have this problem with books where I usually have to skip to the end in order to see if the book has a happy ending, I know, I'm ruining the book for myself. The thing is, if it has a crappy ending then I get in to a massive slump that lasts for the days...
You see my problem with most of these books hmm.
So that's what I did here. And now I'm annoyed. May I just say, and I feel rude bringing it up, but if you can't make a decision on what boy the girl is going to end up with DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO KILL HIM OFF!
XHDHTPYBAMGBSJ@#%*%#*"-&/%-"!!!!!!!!
FRUSTRATION! *THROWS CHAIR*
Sorry, Hulk moment over.
I guess I'm just upset because although she ended up with my favourite, it doesn't mean I don't mourn the loss of a good book boyfriend. I had thought that once she made a decision the dude who lost out was going to get his own book!? :(
I didn't even read the whole book and I STILL want to strangle all the characters.
Now I seriously think this could have been avoided if after the first book, Ash found someone else... Gr I don't know.
I'm annoyed, I'm confused and I'm hungry. I just want to be alone right now :'( :'( :'(
*** old review ***
I just... I cannot explain how much I hate the heroine of this series. She's the most annoying girl I have ever read about. She's worse than Kiera from Thoughtless, Claire from Relentless, any of the chicks in the Molly McAdams books.
Now don't get me wrong, I love those books. The angst is great too. Even though love triangles tend to irk me.
BUT this book. This heroine. This storyline. Bugs the freaking crap out of me.
I literally skipped most of Ambrosia because I was so WTF is going on?
What annoyed me most from Ambrosia was the third addition to the love... square? And her reason for doing it. Get a grip girl.
Whatever.
So although the author's writing skills are pretty talented i'm not sure if I'll be able to put myself through reading this next book.
I kind of want Scarlett to end up alone and both boys find different chicks. She kinda deserves it.
Against the fact I totally love Mason and if I was Scarlett I would pick him, I think she should bugger off with Ash, if no one, in the end and let Mason be with someone that deserves him. If she ends up with anyone in the end that is.
So i'll probably review this book when it comes out and I get it on my kindle.
You know, if I can stand to read about Scarlett without throwing my kindle at the wall.

Rating…hmm. This is tough. Okay so I am going to try to be as fair as possible. I enjoy Erin Noelle’s writing, I was in heaven through nearly the entire book, but when it was all over. I was not a happy camper.
I think that the most I can forgive myself for is a 3ish star on this. That is giving her writing and this series the 5 stars it deserves, but I am just not able to muster anything for the ending of this, I tried. I let it sit for a few days, it didn't calm the fuck down, it festered. I might be angrier now than I was then.
So let’s get to the facts, just the basics. Scar has just rushed off to be by Mason’s side after he stupidly throws himself into a fury of drugs and women. Fresh off an overdose, Mason wakes to find his Angel at his side. But she’s not his. She’s Ash’s butterfly.
Scar and Ash are in the full honeymoon phase of their relationship. Balancing space and togetherness perfectly. Planning a future. But Mason is still lurking in the background. Scar can’t abandon Mason when he needs her most, but she’s unsure if Ash will trust her to maintain a friendship with the only guy that could take her away from him.
I had expected to see growth from Scar throughout this and sadly found her to be annoying. I wanted to throttle her through every part of this story but the last few pages. Even Mason really needed to man up. We've all had broken hearts, we all don’t decide to win the ‘who can shove the most drugs up their nose’ contest or sit around and cry about it. He was borderline girl with his damn feelings. Broken boys are a fine line to create. They have to have one hell of a hard shell that is fractured, but still intact. I want them shoving those feelings down until they are mid thrust and finally realize they are in love with the girl they are banging, I don’t want those feelings spilling out of them. I think Mason and I would have synced our cycles if we spent just a few more pages together.
---- So that’s where that part all ends and the fun shit begins.
I was flying fucking high through this, I had my HEA all planned out. I was convinced that I was going to be squealing in delight. All those hopes. BOOM gone.
To ensure that your experience is not ruined the rest of this is going to be done as a spoiler.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After waiting for so long for this book, I felt so sad and annoyed reading it!!!!
THAT WAS SO UNCALLED FOR!!!
Scarlett, y? I feel like clawing..... like an angel but you deserve few good slaps!
The book begins with Scarlett visiting Mason in the hospital and leaving Ash behind.....All her actions at times were so stupid and the story keep dragging on. One for sure, those boys were nothing but so sweet, and she doesn't deserved them!!!!!!!
2 sweets and adorable stars for Ash and Mason!
N don't get me started on the epilogue....
Read
August 11, 2016I can't read this book. I'm a book cheater and I looked at the ending. I think the author is lucky I didn't get a coronary or there'd be a stack of hospital bills on her front door. I just CAN'T ACCEPT this book ending so I'm going to pretend everything ended in book 2.
December 19, 2013
I have never been more confused!! I can't decide who I want her to end up with!! Gah I love them both, they both fuck up but they both love her and... SHE DOESN'T DESERVE EITHER OF THEM!! I wanted to slap her more than I've ever wanted to slap ... Ahem a book character... Before in my life! And I secretly love the angst! I hope Erin can end the series in a way that we feel happy for each of the characters. It's gonna take some crazy word spinning, and I can't see how that is at all possible at the moment, but I have faith in you, Erin! Pleeeeease hurry with Euphoria, the suspense is killing me!
AFTER READING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, I asked that she end the series in a way that we feel happy for each of the characters, and as I suspected, that couldn't exactly be done. However, even though I was absolutely pissed right around the 80% mark, by the end, she allowed me to find peace in the way she had chosen to take the book. I just finished about a minute ago, and my heart is still so unsure how to feel at this point. I no longer want to slap Scarlett. Now I just want to hug her.

"Many psychologists refer to euphoria as a state of intense happiness and self-confidence, a blissful self-clarity if you will, and most people throughout their lives search and strive for this feeling. Why many never achieve it is because they never learn how to love themselves. When you discover the true beauty of self-love, then and only then, will you experience pure euphoria."
Where do I even begin with this book?
***This review contains spoilers and a possible rant***
So if you are reading this review you're obviously following this series
and let me tell you, I can easily say that I haven't felt as much anger
for a book character as I have for Scarlett
The only reason I continued to follow this series is because it's bloody
entertaining and I love when a book brings out so many different
emotions in me.
FYI I AM TEAM MASON
So... Mason, my poor darling Od'd at the end of the last book and
Scarlett left Ash to be at his side.
Its clear that Mason needs help for his addiction and needs to get over Scarlett
"Sometimes forgetting isn’t the answer, Hun. If you forget completely, then the lesson that was to be learned is lost and the pain and heartache were for nothing,”
Now Scarlett must make the ultimate decision and finally stick to it!
Yes she chose Ash...
"I love you, too, Ash. ‘You’re my end and my beginning; even when I lose, I’m winning,"
And im proud of her for not opening her legs to everyone in this book
but at the same time, I was so angry at both of these awesome guys!
Seriously! This chick can do nothing wrong!!!
Ash must accept that she's friends with an ex lover whom she still
clearly has feelings for.
"I love you, butterfly… ‘your curves and all your edges, and all your perfect imperfections.’"
Mason must accept that she's with Ash but still pining for her. Taking
whatever he can get.
"Mase, I thought we were moving forward as friends. You don’t run away from your friends. Like I’ve told you, I want you in my life, and I want to be in yours. I can’t even begin to tell you how important you are to me, but I’m with him now… whatever the messed up circumstances that brought us here, it’s where we are.”"
Serious case of 'wanting your bread buttered on both sides'
Let me list my issues with Scarlett
1) Leaving Ash to go to Mason
2) Thinking of Mason while with Ash but claiming its just "as friends"
3) Visiting Mason in rehab multiple times and not telling Ash (claiming
she was 'going to tell him'- an omission is STILL A LIE!)
4) Texting Mason 'as friends' and hanging with him when Ash isn't around
5) Going to Mason's gig in Vegas without Ash
The ENDING..... Really I did not expect that! Seriously!
Anyway...
This book wasn't as entertaining as the others and the ending was very
stupid and it broke my heart so for this I CANNOT rate higher than 3
stars!

December 19, 2013I am still team No one !!!! But my heart is with Mason ❤️
Yeah ..... Proper closure .... Of your legs Scarlett !!!
After a series of catastrophic misunderstandings and impulsively poor decision-making, Scarlett MacGregor finds herself once again torn between two loves, as different as they may be. Lacking proper closure with their relationship, accompanied by the overwhelming guilt for her role in his devastating downfall, Scarlett resolves to help Mason❤️ recover and reclaim his life as a budding rock star. However, now that he has finally claimed her as his, Ash Walker is bound and determined to keep her by his side, and he will go to any lengths necessary to do just that.
❤️Mason Templeton has hit rock bottom. He’s in love with a girl whose heart and soul belong to another and he’s partied his way off of an international music tour that was supposed to be his big break. Returning home for rehab sounds like the worst possible way to start a new year, but when an unexpected friendship emerges, he begins to realize that maybe everything does happen for a reason.
Euphoria is the third and final installment of Scarlett, Ash, and ❤️Mason’s self-discovering journeys to happiness and understanding the meaning of true love ~ the kind that begs for complete surrender.
Thank you. I need proper closure !!! That. Is. All

However, now that he has finally claimed her as his, Ash Walker is bound and determined to keep her by his side, and he will go to any lengths necessary to do just that.
❤️Mason Templeton has hit rock bottom. He’s in love with a girl whose heart and soul belong to another and he’s partied his way off of an international music tour that was supposed to be his big break. Returning home for rehab sounds like the worst possible way to start a new year, but when an unexpected friendship emerges, he begins to realize that maybe everything does happen for a reason.
Euphoria is the third and final installment of Scarlett, Ash, and ❤️Mason’s self-discovering journeys to happiness and understanding the meaning of true love ~ the kind that begs for complete surrender.
Thank you. I need proper closure !!! That. Is. All

TEAM ASH ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!
December 22, 2013
I am trying and I mean TRYING to be fair and not go crazy. I am #TeamMason, have been since the first book and I even think the ending is HORRIBLE!!!! I usually do spoiler free reviews but in order for you to understand why I am upset there will be spoilers....**I AM WARNING YOU NOW THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS**
I felt that the book was rushed and not at the the authors top notch writing. The other two books had a great flow and kept me entertained. This book I was rolling my eyes and saying where is my Mason from the last two books?
Mason was such a pussy in this book, not at all the confident man I grew to love in the other books. Poor Ash, I felt so bad for him. He has a girlfriend who seems like she only gives a shit about what she wants, doesn't even consider his feelings. I am... well... wasn't a huge fan of Ash in the first books but this book made me look at him in a different light.
Mason goes to rehab and Scarlett goes and see's him. Doesn't tell her BOYFRIEND, doesn't care if she hurts him. He finds out and I gotta give it to him he was mature enough to listen to her and her reasons. Im sorry I call BULLSHIT. If my man knew I was seeing my ex like that he would have told me there would be no choice go be with him, but its fiction so I was like okay fine moving on.
We get to the part where Ash has put in letters to schools for grad school and some for Scarlett as well. He wants her to go to California with him. He wants to start a life with her, so he puts in transfers so she doesn't have to. She finds the letter and flips out. Ash asks her to please "talk" about it and nope she does what she ALWAYS does and that is run. I'm like ummm shouldn't you stay and hear him out much like he did for you? but of course these guys just cater to her.
Okay, they work it out and then they move away together. I can accept that, couples go through stuff. Again she goes to see Mason this time in Vegas and Ash dies. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? what was the purpose? why would you kill off a main character? Wanted to be like Molly McAdams? I don't see the point. I was irate, and remember I am TeamMason. I should have been elated. No I am mad. Mad because the author chose an easy way out. Mad because this is not giving the characters a happy ending. Mad because the two other books were so well written and this, this was a rushed ending to just end the series. I would have accepted Ash's death had the author given me more. More love, more passion, instead it felt like a slap in the face to those of us who love the series. That was not a real ending. More like her saying "I don't give a shit and I can't think of another ending so I will give this one that a friend suggested to me long ago."
Ash dies in a riptide but, I grew up here in California when you learn to surf you are given lessons about the water and how to come out of those and every other scenario. While I know surfers die, I find it hard to believe that he would have forgotten to swim parallel to the beach. Maybe I am wrong but that is what I thought while reading this.
Another reason I felt this book is rushed is because the author did no research. In California you are not allowed to scatter the ashes of a loved one right off shore or jetty. You need to be 500 feet out in the ocean. Doesn't take long to google.
Then as much as Mason loves her he never comes to see her? REALLY? wow okay then. So then they end up and married with 2 kids. huh? WTF?
I am disappointed, I am not one to ego boost or kiss an authors ass. I will be brutally honest. I do not know who her betas were but, if they seriously thought this was okay then she needs to find some that have more backbone and can let her know this was not ok. Maybe they liked it, but being one who loved the series I was frustrated, I knew the ending could have been better, the writing could have been better, all of it better. I mean its fine if you want to kill off someone, but at least don't rush it. They were in California for like a month. Geez couldn't you have waited like a year, let them actually have a relationship where Mason isn't there looming? How was this happy? Mason deserved to end up with someone he wasn't "addicted" to. Someone that loved him and got to know him, not be with a girl who never knew what she wanted. A girl that only caused him more harm then any good. Do I feel like Scarlett settled with him just because Ash died, YEAH I do. What guy do you know wants to be second choice? The author said somewhere that sometimes in life we just settle, I am sorry I don't just settle and I highly doubt any man would just settle to be second choice.
While I loved the first 2 books in the series this book has me sick to my stomach. I tried to look at it in a different view. I tried being understanding, in the end I hated it. I felt the writing was rushed, the characters were not given any more development in this story. I felt that Scarlett has no growth. She is just as selfish as ever and only cared to get her way. I was pissed that Ash and Scarlett had this "special connection" and was thrown at me right and left in the first two books, to just have it end like that. Also that Scarlett threw that back in Ash's face! I am mad that Mason ended up with a girl who only ever chose him as second best. I wish Erin would have said fuck the deadline and took her time to perfect this book. Like I said I would have accepted Ashs death but not like this, not rushed like he meant nothing.

Honestly? People can say I didn't finish this because of the ending (I was team Ash) but before I knew what happened I wasn't very into it and was commenting about it with one of my friends....
Scarlett is too indecisive for my tastes, she needs a constant wake up call!!! And no matter what people say if she really chose Ash, she wouldn't go back to Mason! If she really chose Ash, then she couldn't go with Mason. Her heart would feel betraying Ash. Of she easily go to mason to "settle" that's showed just how much she cared for any of them in the end...
I hate when it's easier to strip the choice from a character with an easy way out, like KILLING someone crucial to the story! I wasn't ok with Taking Chances and I'm still not ok with it!!
I'm not pointing fingers and I don't want to offend anyone but to me it feels like the buzz was being killed so it needed to be shaken up and what better way than do something like this??
I guess love triangles aren't really my thing, this year I've mature as a reader and I'm even more picky than I was before!
I'm not sorry to say I outgrew it and I'm really not that upset...so it might not even be the book, it might be just me (i feel like I'm breaking up with the book "It's not you, it's me" LOL)... But honestly...Scarlett's constant ping ponging gets in my nerves! I know she went through a lot, but she is just too weak, she needs maturing and she only will have that away from everyone, alone in an island lol
Even though I'm not caring enough to be upste, I need to point out I feel robbed from my reading time, since the author promised HEA for everyone...Since when dying is HEA??? I may need to double check my dictionary sometime...
I'm sorry for being harsh but sometimes I just can't stand the disappointment!

I really do not know where to begin. The first book was amazing. To say I was not a big fan of the second book is an understatement. But, I am so on the fence with this book - floating between a 3 - 3.5. Why not a 5 star, as I hoped it would be? One reason, SCARLET.
This is a story of one girl, Scarlet, who falls hard and fast in love with two men. Ash and Mason are both lovable in their own way, and I fell in love with BOTH characters myself. On the positive side, I liked the way their characters grew and became stronger. However, through most of this series, Scarlet was ‘wishy washy’. She bounced between these guys like a two dollar hooker and broke both their hearts. I am NOT a fan of her character for the entirety of book 2 and 3. She was weak, immature, selfish and lacking common decency. I feel she was the main cause of the destruction of both men.
I believe that the author painted herself into a corner in writing this series. There was no happy way out for these characters. There rarely is in a love triangle situation. I knew there was going to be a painful conclusion to this story. I knew going in, but the events sadden me none-the-less. I was truly hoping for a happy ending for all three, but that clearly does not happen. The HEA is bitter-sweet.
In conclusion. this was a hell of a bumpy ride. This series takes you on an emotional journey and you need a lot of patience to get through it. If Scarlet’s character was written to be stronger and less annoying, it would have been a perfect tale. Regardless, I am glad I stuck it out to the bitter end.

Euphoria was the third and final book in the Book Boyfriend series by Erin Noelle. It was the conclusion of Scarlett, Ash and Mason’s search for Euphoria.
Wow. I knew the reviews were mixed. And I knew there were unexpected twists but I still had to plow through it for my own opinion. And frankly, I can’t voice it. It was well worth the read, but that’s all I can say. You’ll just have to read the entire trilogy and experience the emotional roller coaster for yourself.

<3 this series! And yes… I've seen all the people going all cray over this one, but let me just say this… I think Erin did a fabulous job staying true to the characters and it was written beautifully. She's made a fan for life in me! <3

Well it might be the percocet talking after my tooth extraction today... all though I still am not a fan of Scarlett by the end I didn't hate her with every fiber of my being. So that was definitely a positive. I think no matter what "team" you were on for this one it was a doozy when it all went down. It's really hard to review this one with out saying too much. But let's see if I can break it down in a few bullet points...
Made me want to slap a bitch...
*The usage of the word "had"...
*The male pov was way to feminine...
*Scarlett... repeat this one times infinity
*When Ash started acting entirely contradictory and like a pussy...
*Lack of sexytime...
*Relationship development seemed to halt or just become extremely dull...
What I liked...
*Heather... LOVED THAT CHICK!
*Andie & Max (Can't wait for that book!)
*Mason's development and journey
*The "realness" of the situations in that shitty things do happen to decent people all the time and you never know what tomorrow will bring
*Music & Book References
*The way that the fact that you can love and be in love with more than one person at the same time was presented
*The importance of time and timing
That's all I got!

3.5 WTH... ? Stars.
I have been team Mase All. The. Way.... but WTH? I really did not see this coming and well... guess you all will have to read it if you want to know what I'm talking about.
I started reading this before bed and could not put it down until I finished... I am a sleepy girl, now :-(

February 16, 2014Before I start this I just wanna say that this series is one of the most frustrating, amazing, beautiful, confusing and captivating roller-coaster rides I have ever been on.
The characters in this series have a way of making you fall in love with them from the get go and this story will stay with me forever.
This is something I have never ever done before and it really does break my heart to do this but I can't rate this book. At all. I'll tell you why in a bit.
This is the third book in the Book Boyfriend series.
In Metamorphosis Scarlett made a choice to be with the one who helped spread her wings. In Ambrosia she decides to stand by the one she truly loves but when tragedy strikes she makes a decision to be there for the man who holds a piece of her heart, which leads us to Euphoria.
Scarlett is in Miami waiting patiently by Masons side while he tries to wake up from a self induced drug coma. He's in bad shape though after everything that has happened between them he's shocked to find her there singing songs about fighting to keep him and staying alive. Leaving home on Christmas Eve to be at Masons side definitely causes tension between Scarlett and Ash but she proves to him that he is who she loves and that her friendship with Mason is just that, a friendship. After a few misunderstandings they decide to start fresh, and new with a clean slate for themselves but what they don't know is that life has a funny way of knocking you on your ass when you think you're on top of the world.
So here is where I tell you why I can't rate this book. Don't get me wrong this series had been a big part of my life over the last year and I have been on the edge of my seat wanting to know how it all ends. In my heart I truly know that Scarlett and Ash have this undeniable connection between them, something so strong that they will always find their way to each other. But on the other hand, I am and forever will be Team Mason. His love for Scarlett is addicting. There's no denying that there is something there and it shows when she chose him at the end of book one. Do you know how ecstatic I was when that happened but that final chapter totally caught me off guard and I was a ball of nerves come Ambrosia. If you know me then you'll know I have been repping Team Mase since day one. DAY ONE!!
It really does hurt me to have to say this but this book was a huge disappointment. Don't get me wrong, this author has a way of captivating her audience, the style of her writing is so amazing that it leaves you wanting more, but my issues are solely based on the events that happened in this book. I found myself feeling cheated, disappointed and just shell shocked. When I read what I read I had to go over it a few times to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me, and when I realised it was true, I went through motions of being shocked, devastated, to so fucking pissed that I pulled the biggest temper tantrum/rant known to man in which resulted in my partner falling asleep halfway through my rant which made me fume even more coz come on here I am tryna get this shit outta my system and he has the nerve to fall asleep...on me??? Ugh then at some point I swear you could see steam coming out my own ears, then I figured I already know where this road is heading, why finish? Why should I continue reading when I know that the ending will be awful. I mean it already was when this unnecessary thing happens, why waste my time going through it? but thank heavens I calmed down enough to finish this book coz the final quote got to me, but the events that happen in this book to me truly felt like an epic fucking cop out! I'm writing this and I am still so freaking pissed that I just can't fully express what I'm feeling coz I'm that pissed.
All in all I want to thank the author for bringing these amazing characters in my life. They really will stay with me forever. Also a beautiful friendship was created throughout this ride. If it wasn't for this series I never would have met these beautiful, talented ladies who I can truly call friends. Though we were divided in the middle by this epic love triangle I was so thankful to have taken this ride with you guys. Y'all know who you are...love you all to pieces❤️❤️❤️
Though Scarlett pissed me off like no other, her naivety, her thirst for life, her indecision, her loyalty, her undying strength was a beautiful thing to experience. She grew so much as a character throughout the series, and she really is my love to hate, hate to love character. As for Ash and Mason. They are so uniquely beautiful in their own ways. Total opposites but their love and devotion for Scarlett was true, and in that love it made them both better people and it was so amazing to have experienced this ride with them.
*sigh* I really can't recommend this to anyone who has already started this series because I know I won't be the only one who is disappointed by this, but it's also one of those stories you cannot live without. Though frustratingly annoying at times this story, this epic love triangle is one that has cemented it's spot in my heart and will be with me always.

Wtf! I loved the other 2 books.. Usually i get so annoyed at the author for dragging one story into 3 super similar books but since I loved the first 2 I thought what the hell..! Nope I'm so pissed what happened in the book... It was uncalled for! And in the end did she really choose between them..? Nope.

Hmmm....
Huhhh.... Where do I start.
I'm speechless.... Really
I guess I should start off by saying that I absolutely loved the first two books in this series! I was so hooked!
I mean....
I love a good love triangle story!!
But....
Had I know that this series was going to end the way that it did...
I probably would not have read it. Or I would have just waited until the whole series was out
& checked out the reviews first.
So I know what I'm going to get myself into.
I was not happy with this book at all. & I feel bad that I even have to say that!
It truly broke my heart. I kind of feel cheated.
I know Scarlett has to pick someone....& she did in the beginning of the book.
But, I feel plain & simple... She settled!
All because of the way that person ended up...she settled for the other guy!
I don't like that at all!
I don't want to give anything away...
But...
Ending a love triangle that way leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.
You read book 1 & your hooked. You read book 2 & you're emotionally invested.
So when book 3 comes out... You want a conclusion... you want the closure. Even if she doesn't end up with who you wanted her to end up with. I'm good with that.
But...
To go that route....
Ughh...no!
I understand life throws obstacles in your path. I do...I understand that... Fully!
But...for me....
Reading a book is like taking me away from all the day to day hustle and bustle of life. Escaping... From reality.
If I wanted to read a sad book...
I would have picked one! Knowing fully what I was getting myself into.
This book just took me by surprise.
& it also takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride!!
I'm all over the place!
I truly can't believe that it all ends this way
Utterly Disappointing.... Heartbreaking.... Letdown... Shattered
Hmmm....
Huhhh.... Where do I start.
I'm speechless.... Really
I guess I should start off by saying that I absolutely loved the first two books in this series! I was so hooked!
I mean....
I love a good love triangle story!!

WTF?! Inacreditável, no pior sentido da palavra...
Não acredito que esperei tanto por esse livro... O primeiro livro, Metamorphosis foi bom, curti, vibrei, torci pelo Ash e até a Scarlett teve minha consideração. A estória tinha um bom potencial, continuou bem em Ambrosia, e contei os dias para o lançamento de Euphoria, ansiosa para ver o desfecho desse triângulo amoroso. Iniciar e desenvolver um triângulo amoroso pode ser até fácil, mas concluí-lo bem não é pra qualquer autor e, definitivamente, não foi pra Erin.
Para deixar claro, não tive problema em aceitar que a Scarlett amava - ou achava que amava - tanto o Ash quanto o Mason. E já estava preparada para o fato de que ela escolheria um, mesmo que não fosse meu queridinho Ash. Mas, really?! O que a autora fez qualquer um escreveria! Qualquer um!
Para que esse final?? Para não ser previsível? Para não ser óbvio? Se não tem uma boa carta na manga, que siga o caminho mais plausível, por mais óbvio que seja.
Não quero dar spoilers, mas se você leu os outros livros, está com uma expectativa grande nesse e torce por algum dos personagens, seja Ash ou Mason, não importa, aconselho que pule para o antipenúltimo capítulo e boa sorte! E para a autora, Sra. Erin Noelle, meu conselho é que se esconda, de preferência dentro de um colete a prova de balas.

I loved this series.
O.k. now use your imagination readers and picture an gif where there's this hot girl jumping up and down, tears of joy streaming from her face, waving her hands in the air like she just don't care and that would be me and how I feel about this book. I was so close to not reading this and that would have been one of the biggest mistakes of my life. It was fan flippin tastic!!! I will read ever book this women puts out. I just can't say enough about this journey. READ THIS SERIES!!!
Ps Sorry for descriptive gif. My kid won't get from behind me and I can not open my photobucket.:)

Well damn. This has got to be one of the hardest books for me to rate. SO MUCH unnecessary bullshit kept happening. I understand Scarlett grew up sheltered, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have common sense. I was so angry throughout so much of this book. And then the bomb? GTFOH. That was the
MOST
unnecessary thing ever in this book. For what???? There was no reason for that. Everything was on the path to perfection. They all were learning and were becoming better people for themselves and the people around them. UGH! I’m getting angry just thinking about it again. Anyways, while writing this review, I’ve settled on 1.5 STARS, and that’s being generous. The execution of this book threw the whole SERIES completely out the window for me. I feel like I just wasted my time reading these books. I liked the first two, but damn. All that reading was for nothing.

I know a lot of people are not going to be trilled with this outcome. Though some of it was shocking, I truly enjoyed it! I think it was a good ending for this particular series.

This one has left me in a complete daze. I THINK I give it 4 stars? At most points it could have been on my '5 stars will never be enough' shelf - but then IT changed everything. My heart rate and breathing included!
This was a love triangle for which I still don't have a deciding 'team' for. Ash and Mason are both deserving of the girl. That's what makes the events towards the end even harder to swallow. IT floored me.

This book reminded me much of 'Taking Chances' - another book which made me so damn angry, but still think about months after reading.
Already I know I'll be able to recover and recommend this series, but maybe this last one could be a little more polished, a little longer (the last 20% felt a little rushed), and a little more sympathetic to the reader.

~~3.75 HEARTS~~
Wow! What a way to end this trilogy, but I think I understand why Erin Noelle decided to go the route she did. I will have to say that I enjoyed the first two installments of this trilogy better than this book. You see a lot of the characters mature more in this book. Mason especially. He has to hit rock bottom before he realizes and change his ways but, nonetheless, he does change for the better. This is a great trilogy that will keep your interest and bring you down a rocky love triangle road. I'm a sucker for love triangles. Great read!
