Thornes & Roses #3
A Death to Seek
Head back to Thorne Haven in the last book of the series. Follow Finn on his journey of heartbreak, redemption, and a whole lot of secrets!
I spent most of my life keeping a secret. I was ashamed. I was scared. I was broken.
I thought my life was over the moment I met her, but I quickly realized it was only beginning.
She has her own hidden depths in those pretty eyes. And when she learns who I really am, I’m convinced she’ll push me away. But life has taught me to expect the unexpected.
It’s time to stand up for who I am. It’s time to admit who I love. And it’s time to seek love instead of darkness. But nothing is as easy as it seems because things have a way of revealing themselves at the most inopportune times.
Three secrets.
One heartbreak.
And the wedding of a lifetime.

4.5/5 stars
Finn's story was one I had been not so patiently waiting for. Didn't disappoint. I've always had a soft spot for the baby of the family.
He has always been in the shadows of his older brothers, the one that is always joking and diverting the attention off himself. Now, his chains are gone and his dark side is coming out to play. Despite his spot in his family and the shoes that he is needing to step into now that he is old enough, he can't keep the mask on any longer. He is a bit broken, hiding in his secrets and hoping that he is man enough to follow through. He isn't just hurting himself by his secrets. He's taking someone else down with him.
My heart broke for Zaria. She was a beautiful girl with a big heart and nothing she did was enough. Not enough for her family, not for her fake fans, not even for herself. She put it all on the line and despite so many misgivings, she gave in to her parents. She also has her own secrets, her own nightmares, her own darkness living within her. She just needs to find the right someone(s) to help her shed the chains and be the woman she is meant to be. Without the pressures of everything, without the noise, without the vile words ripping her to shreds.
Her time in Throne Haven will either set her free or keep her locked in the cage she's been in for the longest time. Is Finn able to open up, bear his sins and secrets to one that just might understand him better than his does himself?
This read is filled with secrets, redemption, coming into your own, passion and hope that will leave you breathless. It was bittersweet reading that last page knowing that our time in Thorne Haven has come to an end. These brothers are gonna stay in my heart... forever. The rose will never burn out.

I've been eager to get my hand on Finn' book since the moment I found out it would have been an arranged marriage kind of story.
But then Dani made it more appealing saying it would have been an MMF.
Now, I love, like really LOVE, this kind of ménage because I find them more "complete" if it makes sense.
But for me something miss in Finn, Jarred and Zaira' story.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the story and couldn’t stop reading because Dani' writing style is captivating, yet there was this lingering feeling that something was off.
If you read the previous chapters of the Thornes & Roses series, you should know by now Finn.
He has always been the playboy, the party boy, when in reality he is as broken as his brothers were.
But it seems he actually had someone who he could be himself with, someone he cares deeply about ... Jarred.
And this arranged marriage could destroy everything. Zaira, the soon-to-be wife could ruin everything.
I didn’t expect the relationship between Finn and Jarred, not in the way the author portrayed it.
It was impossible to guess from the previous books.
But it became the thing I loved the most about this book.
The connection, the love, the passion between these two men was so damn powerful and meaningful and heartbreaking.
And that's also the problem, because I didn’t feel the same about Finn & Zaira, or Jarred & Zaira, or Finn,Jarred & Zaira for the matter.
The clicking between the three of them was to immediate; I didn’t really see their affection growning.
Maybe because there was too much at stake with so many secrets and power games....
So even if MMF are my favorite, this is one of the times I would have preferred an MM.
In the way I see it what really bond Finn, Jarred and Zaira together is pain.
There’s so much suffering in these characters, it made my heart heavy at the beginning.
And obviously the s€x scenes are really hot 🥵🥵🔥🔥
No matter what, A Death to Seek is a great ending for a series i really loved. And i'm really thankful for the long epilogue because it was amazing see again Damien, Nesrin, Cass and Kalyn 😍

***4 "Ours!!!" stars***
"It's sometimes easier to fake something than to allow anyone to see your pain..."
Oh how much I have loved the Thorne brothers!!! Each one of them is unique and their darkness is so intriguing!!!!
Finn is the baby of the family and honestly, he seemed to be the more easygoing brother... The one with the jokes and no caring attitude!!!
But in here, Finn proved us that he was the most complicated of them all!!! And I loved him for that reason!!!
Add to that Zaria who is hiding behind her own mask and rebel Jarred and you will have an explosive result...
"Judging someone before you know them is a form of a lie. You tell yourself the truths that you want to hear, but you don't actually know the whole story."
Finn is not who you thought he is, if you have read the previous two books... He is a man who is keeping too many secrets from his loved ones and he is kind of wearing a mask to hide his true self from the rest of the world...
Now, the time has come for Finn to fulfill his obligations to the family in the form of a wedding and a wedding with a socialite girl is the last thing that he wants to do...
"I would never choose someone like her as my wife. Not because she isn't beautiful. But because she can never love the monster inside me."
Zaria is living a lie... She is popular and she has too many followers that she has to satisfy, but her heart is bleeding... She is a girl that is taking by heart the nasty comments that her supposed fans are leaving her and every single word is hurting her irreparable...
Now, her mother is about to sell her in a powerful family for the good of their family...
She doesn't know Finn Thorne, but she knows that she doesn't want this marriage to him...
"He thinks I'm like every other influencer out there. I'm far from over-confident. I was taught to never show weakness, so I don't. But I can't trust him to show him the real me."
This wasn't your conventional form of relationship...
Finn and Zaria had instantly chemistry and even though they have fought it, it still lingered and while the secrets were kept revealing, they were becoming more stronger together...
But in this equation, they weren't just the two of them... Jared was a part of Finn and he slowly and steadily became Zaria's part as well...
But honestly, you won't take another word from me about this story...
"I've kept it a secret for so long, I don't know how to be anything else to him than a hidden truth." {Finn}
"I'm no longer alone. I have him. I just need to figure out how to break down his defenses." {Zaria}
"There's no way in hell I can walk away from Finn Thorne." {Jarred}
This was a very intriguing and complicated story which could be a masterpiece if something wasn't missing...
The truth is that I felt Jarred and Finn's relationship so much, but their connection with Zaria was kind of dull and rushed... I needed from Dani to give more time to grow this thing between these three...
On the contrary, I felt like I was missing vital pieces of the story and that's my reason why I didn't gave 5 stars...
It felt that this was Finn and Jarred's story and that Zaria was someone that just happened to exist between them... and I know that this girl had so much more to give.
"It feels as if I'm a king with two hearts to love."
Overall, this was a very intriguing story... very different from the previous two books in the series..
It had so many secrets and the story took a turn to darkness that I loved very much!!!
The sex scenes were really hot and there was electricity that needed more exploring in the air...
And honestly, I can not wait for more stories in this world... I just need Creed Haven's story and for the old readers, in here you will meet again old characters from a cruel war!!! I really need to read this book too and I will do it very soon!!!
"Nobody can save you if you don't want to be saved."

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trope: arranged marriage, secret society
Angst: 😱😱😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A Death to Seek is the third book in the Thornes and Roses series by Dani René. Finn's father has arranged a marriage for him that he is definitely not happy about. He has a certain life that he likes to live and is worried his future wife will not accept him nor find her place. When Finn first meets Zaria, he is very confrontational, but soon learns that Zaria is also not as she appears and has depths that call to him. The writing is good, but I gave it 4 stars since I felt as those the relationship development was a bit rushed. Overall, I liked it and will continue to read the series.

A Death to Seek by Dani René delivers heartbreaking emotions in a twisted plot. This steamy MFM romance was full of secrets and sins. Finn, Jarred and Zaria all have broken pieces and darkness inside. Together they fit like a puzzle and their love is the most beautiful thing.
Zaria Abadi was pushed into an arranged marriage with Finn Thorne, the legacy of Thorne Haven who will take his place in the powerful secret society soon. After her father's death, she is sent to Thorne Haven to stay for some time and to get to know each other. Finn thinks she is a spoiled rich princess. Zaria thinks he is an wicked dark man. She doesn't know that Finn is already in love with Jarred, a man working at Finn's household and running from his past. Will she find a place between and with them? What secrets will come out to destroy them?
Zaria is a pretty, kind and sweet girl who has been abused and hurt by the social media bullies. She has scars and she expertly hides her pain. Jarred has his own complex past and he has always stayed away from his home town because of his guilt and bitterness. Finn has always starved for love and affection from his father and he doesn't really want to take his place in this secret society. He has been heartbroken before and he is barely holding onto his pieces with help of Jarred. But fate will make them face the greatest fears and heartache. And it will form a strong connection among three of them. The power plays and games will test their love but they stand proud and tall. Finn and Jarred are both edgy, deviant, dangerous and devilish alpha antiheroes and Zaria matches them at every step. Together they are a team, a force and a dream coming true. The twists will keep unfolding till the last page and the shocking suspense will keep you glued to the pages.

A Death to Seek by Dani René is book Three in the Thornes & Roses Series. This is the story of Zaria Abadi and Finn Thorne. I have read the previous books which did add to my enjoyment of this book.
Finn was the youngest of the brothers and the one that was reserved but did get attention from him with jokes and appearing to be not so series. But now his father has set in motion that he is to marry Zaria for business purposes which his assessment of Zaria isn't good. Zaria has been raised to be the perfect daughter with the ability to hide emotions. But we learn who everyone thinks she is...isn't who she is. Zaria has scars and emotions that can't seem to see the light of day. When she is sent to Thorne Manor she meets of course Finn and the sparks fly. Finn to starts to feel a spark towards her. Zaria meets Jarred who she starts to think there is something more than friendship between Finn and him. This was a exciting read and I will be looking for more books from this author.

Finn has been trying to get his father to see him for years, and all of a sudden, Finn gets told that he has to go through an arranged marriage. The problem is that Finn had been hiding a relationship with Jarred and he doesn't want to add to it, especially a total stranger.
Zaria isn't all thrilled to be marrying a stranger either, but then she meets Jarred and Finn and things change.
I really like how well the three of them fit well together. All 3 of them are broken, but their broken is less broken together. They don't really fix each other as much as make each other stronger. Great story.

I have been waiting patiently/impatiently for Finn's story and oh how this one did not disappoint. From the opening pages I was once again hooked in the Thorne Haven world and the encompassing journey with the characters. The secrets, the ups and downs and the conclusion create for the most perfect read!

I love this series and really looked forward to Finn’s story. And boy was the wait worth it! He is the youngest Thorne and the one who really surprised me the most. He has been perceived as the quiet one, keeping to himself, but in this book you see a whole different side of him. He is torn for his feelings for one and is being forced on another, against his will. Can he be who his father wants him to be? Can he be the man he was raised to be? Will his darkness and secrets hold him back?
When he meets Zaria, he isn’t sure what to make of her, can he trust her? She is young and beautiful, but has her own past and secrets and heartache and is torn about opening herself up to Finn. She’s always done what she was told to do, but will she be defiant this time?
This story deals with a sensitive subject and this author does forewarn you, but it’s pertinent to the story and is written beautifully. Reviews can be hard to write as I don’t want to give any spoilers away, but you will be blown away like I was. There is so much to love about this story and series. I highly recommend reading it.

December 5, 2021I learned from the worst. But unlike my brothers, I hid my pain so well, nobody knew just what I was going through. It worked for a long time, it was my secret. But secrets have a way of revealing themselves at the most inopportune times."

The story line was very captivating while the timeline itself was choppy and at times a little hard to follow. I felt like I was missing pages or even chapters here and there. Like I was missing out on some events that happened. The characters hinted towards things happening but it was never written, but only acknowledge in passing. Almost as if those pages or chapters had been edited out. But the book isn’t overly long so I couldn’t see it being a time/pages cut to the story. With that being said I liked this story. I just wish there was more of it and through the entirety it felt more complete. The development of the relationships between the characters is missing. They basically meet and then are in love with nothing building towards it. They talk of how their relationship has grown and what they have built together. But there is no explanation or anything regarding how it was built. As if those pages are missing. Mentioning a nickname she had been given. But the first time it was actually mentioned in the book was 65% in. I’m so confused and lost as if I’m missing portions of the book.
I’m honestly stuck on how to start this review. It’s my first time reading a book by Dani and while the storyline and the basic parts of the story I loved I felt it was lacking in depth.
There’s a play list at the beginning but the first song isn’t mentioned until 90% into the book. Which has again left me wondering “am I missing pages or even chapters of this book” almost as if there was a mistake made with my copy and it’s not completed yet.
There were two cringe worthy moments in this book where I was just shocked by how cliché it was. One regarding a tattoo and one with a song choice for a special moment. Both left me thinking this book was written by a teenager
I’m so confused on this book. I’m left wanting more. And not in the usual way where a book ends and you want more of the story. As in what happens next. But as in I needed more in between the chapters. I felt like there was so much left out, every time something significant was mention I was left thinking to myself “wait how did we get here” did I accidentally double tap and skip a few pages….is my copy missing chapters. How did we get here.?” And this happened several times throughout the book. This story could have been so amazing and captivating but without the base of the characters background them building a relationship and getting to know each other I found it hard to really connect with the characters and the story. Which is disappointing because there was so much potential with this book. I can’t even give it a low star rating because the book was good. And maybe other readers won’t feel the same way as I do. That it was lacking. I’ve gone back and forth a few times on how to write this review. So in short. The book was good. Storyline and characters amazing. But very hard to follow the timeline and felt as though I was missing a lot. It’s a quick easy read and easy to get into. So give it a shot and maybe I’m just being picky. I know others who have read it and said they loved it. That’s the thing about books. No book can satisfy every reader who picks it up. But every book will have at least one person who loves it. Maybe this will be that book for you. But for me. It was sadly just not it.

This story could have been so amazing and captivating but without the base of the characters background them building a relationship and getting to know each other I found it hard to really connect with the characters and the story. Which is disappointing because there was so much potential with this book. I can’t even give it a low star rating because the book was good. And maybe other readers won’t feel the same way as I do. That it was lacking. I’ve gone back and forth a few times on how to write this review. So in short. The book was good. Storyline and characters amazing. But very hard to follow the timeline and felt as though I was missing a lot. It’s a quick easy read and easy to get into. So give it a shot and maybe I’m just being picky. I know others who have read it and said they loved it. That’s the thing about books. No book can satisfy every reader who picks it up. But every book will have at least one person who loves it. Maybe this will be that book for you. But for me. It was sadly just not it.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
I spent most of my life keeping a secret. I was ashamed. I was scared. I was broken. I thought my life was over the moment I met her, but I quickly realized it was only beginning. She has her own hidden depths in those pretty eyes. And when she learns who I really am, I'm convinced she'll push me away. But life has taught me to expect the unexpected. It's time to stand up for who I am. It's time to admit who I love. And it's time to seek love instead of darkness. But nothing is as easy as it seems because things have a way of revealing themselves at the most inopportune times. Three secrets. One heartbreak. And the wedding of a lifetime.
If you have been reading this series them I am sure you are life me and could not wait to get to read Finn's story. Finn is the baby of the family and his story does not disappoint at all. I actually devoured it and couldn't put it down. He has always had this way about him of taking the attention off himself. He sure doesn't like to get all the attention. He would rather his brothers have it all. Now thought we get to the dark side coming out of him since he has some shoes to fill now. Finn though has some major secrets he is hiding also. He isn't the only one that he could take down with his secrets. Now there could be someone else that the secrets could affect. Zaria is a beautiful young lady with a huge heart but nothing she has ever done has been enough for her family or her fake fans and really not even for herself. But she too is a girl with secrets and a darkness living inside of her. She just need someone to help her break the chains that are around her and become the woman that she was always meant to be without the pressure of her life and the vile words of other ripping her apart. Now she is in Thorne Hill and she is hoping that it will set her free. If not things might turn out where she is still locked up in a cage that she has lived in for the longest time. When she meets Finn the sparks are flying all over the place. But is he the man who will set her free while sharing all his secrets with someone who might just understand him better than anyone else in life ever will. I loved every second of this story and I really didn't put it down until I was finished. I loved Finna and Zaria and the story they had to tell will leave you breathless.

At the end of the previous book in the Thornes & Roses series - A High so Sweet - Ms. Dani Rne dropped a bomb on us (readers) and her characters with the news that Finn is going to get married, but he does not know the bride. To say I was excited about the book is like saying nothing! And I got what I was waiting for.
Finn is the youngest of Thorne brothers, he's used to being in the background as the child of the family - that needed to stay out of bright spot to not be seen by others. You know the type - laid back, always with a joke on his lips. We wear masks when we need to, to protect ourselves, to make sure we hide something, but sometimes those masks fall off and then all hell can break loose in this case. So what his hidden part will bring to the story - a lot! If you like secrets - then Finn is your guy, like he was mine on my checklist for favorite parts of the character.
Our girl is Zaria, and at first, I thought I would not like her when we got the introduction, but I quickly, like really quickly changed my mind and broke for this girl, that was dragged into this arranged marriage situation. She was always treated like a way to make the aim, but this makes everything feel so fake and disappointing for her. A beautiful lost, damaged soul, that will need someone to glue her back and make her stronger in the end. The manor in Thorne Haven can bring her two options - she will grow in this place or stay in the same state as before. What will Zaria choose?
So be ready to dive into the story of the last Thorne brother and check how his story will form with a lot of secrets and unexpected turns.

The youngest Thorne brother’s story is now ready to be told.
While getting to know him somewhat from the previous books I could not wait to see what Ms. Rene had in stored for us.
Finn’s story is gripping and had me turning the pages as fast as I could read the words.
Finn has always been the joker and prankster but underneath it all lies a sad broken little boy who grow up a scared secretive man.
I loved Jarred.
The quiet flying under the radar man is so much more than what meets the eye and what the world knows of him.
Zaria brought up to be the perfect daughter and to show no real emotions.
She’s made to put up a pretense and live a life that’s so fake.
It has her literally not knowing who she is.
Together these three embark on a painful journey.
Trying to find their true selves.
Trying to find happiness.
And trying to find true unconditional love.
But before finding all that there will be anguish and uncertainty.
Lies and secrets that are being concealed.
A past each will need to confront and deal with.
The quote “Nothing worth having comes easy” absolutely fits these three to a tee.
While this story is sexy and lust filled and had me fanning myself.
I loved how Finn, Jarred and Zaria’s brokenness and feelings of not being enough or incomplete were what I saw and felt as drawing them together.
Their spirits and souls reached out to each other to fill, glue and piece together each other’s fragmented pieces.
My heart is happy they found their peace.

Who knew Finn had such a story! I was always curious about Finn, he is the one that will crack a joke just like that and also the first one to contact the PI when things need to be done. His story was a page-turner.
Finn's dad has arranged a marriage for him to Zaria for business reasons. However, Finn has a secret that he believes no one knows. He also thinks from her social media that Zaria is a spoiled princess- he has no time for her and that! Finn needs to find a way out of this marriage so that he can be himself and still be a Thorne.
Everyone see Zaria as always put together on social media! Yet she is far from perfect, she has some secrets in her that she needs to understand and clarify. She also wants out of this arranged marriage.
Yet when these two finally meet, they both have a kindred connection. She also believes there is more to the friendship between Finn and Jarred. Can these three work together to resolve all their hidden questions and secrets?
A Death To Seek is a page-turner, the relationship with the three main characters evolves right on the pages. Also, look for appearances from the other Thorne brothers and their wives!!! And hopefully, some side characters will get a series...hint hint!
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Entertaining, Unpredictable, Steamy, Twisted, Easy-to-read, Wonderful characters,Page-turner

A Death To Seek (Thornes and Roses #3) by Dani Rene is Finn's story. We know from the end of book 2 that Finn's father has set up an arranged marriage for him and he is definitely not happy about it. We do learn more about who Finn really is in this story. What we have seen of him in the previous books is certainly not who we think he is. Getting to learn who Finn is and his secrets was so good. I most definitely didn't see that coming. His bride to be has secrets herself. Zara has had to live up to her parents standards and wishes. This arrangement of moving into Thorne Manor before the marriage has her scared and alone. The pressure of living up to everyone else is taking a toll on Zaria. Neither Finn nor Zaria want this marriage and their journey together was entertaining. Many ups and downs. Of all the brothers I liked Finn's story the best. There was so much to him and his story was so interesting. However towards the end, part of the story got strange and I was left with some questions. But the conclusion of Finn and Zaria's story was so good. I would love to read more about them and the other brother's life. 4 stars for me.

I loved this book, it was a great 5 star read. I was excited to finally get Finn’s story.
Finn has been set up in an arranged marriage. This marriage can ruin everything that he has been planning for. Zaria, this poor girl. She wasn’t sure what to expect when she met Finn but there was something in his eyes that she recognized. Finn thinks that Zaria is a spoiled rich princess who loves attention, little does he know the painful secrets she holds.
Zaria is very perceptive and she quickly suspects there is something more than friendship between Finn and Jarred. As she gets to know both of them they all start to have a connection, you could feel it coming off the pages. Can this marriage really work? What will happen when all of the secrets come out?
Overall this was a great read. My head was spinning from all the twists and turns. My emotions were all over the place as well. We also get some very steamy scenes. I loved all of the characters and it was great seeing the previous characters as well. The author does a great job with her writing and you feel everything the characters do. I can’t wait to read more from her.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I'm a big fan of this author so she's an automatic one click for me without knowing what the book is about. I'm saying that because I don't tend to read this type of romance for whatever reason despite the sexiness of it. That being said, let's talk about this story. A Death to Seek is the story of Finn, who is told that he has to marry Zaria, who is faced with that same demand. He doesn't want to marry her and vice versa, but they don't have a choice. Both have pain in their life that have caused scars, but he's keeping a secret which will directly involve her going forward, and it could make or break her at the end of the day. I LOVED this story honestly, but there's a reason I didn't give it the perfect rating at the end of the day, and it has to do with Finn's big secret because I didn't feel it when Zaria got involved on the emotional side. Yeah, I know that sounds confusing, but I don't want to give things away so you'll just have to read it for yourselves to see what I'm talking about, and now it's time to hit those one click buttons! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Everyone has secrets. Behind every smile lies a dark story.
Finn is a complicated extraordinary man. He is the youngest of the Thorne sons. Finn is an enigma and conceals his secrets deep in the vault of his mind. He is feeling trapped with the responsibilities that his family has placed on him.
Zaria has not had her own voice her whole life. She has been told what she can and can't do by her family. Putting on a fake brave face is second nature to her. I felt her pain that she experiences, beautifully expressed in the pages of this story. When she meets Finn, she has an immediate connection to him. She sees his pain and torment in his eyes. They both camouflage their real feelings by wearing a mask to hide them.
Finn was definitely worth the wait, but saying farewell to this emotional and impassionate series is difficult. But I will never forget the mind-blowing stories of these 3 brothers.

I absolutely loved this book, I was eagerly waiting for finn and my god he did not dissapoint, its close, but id say hes my favorite. If i could give it more than 5 🌟 i would, its beautifully written, broke me to my core and rendered me speechless. I instantly loved zaria too, being in front of the paparazzi cant be easy and for them and the rest of the world she puts on a front, lets them see what shes wants them to see, whilst on the inside shes broken which inturn broke me along with her. I felt her highs and lows to my very soul.
Zaria + Finn +Jarred = Holy Hotness and my god its hot, the chemistry sizzled off the page and I couldn't put it down.
The twists and turns of this book made it for me an absolutely amazing read, if you think you know what's going to happen, you're proved wrong at every turn. Also we get to see all the boys in one book, what more could you want.
Well done, It's another absolutely fantastic addition and a 💯 must read.

This is the third and final book in this phenomenal series, and my word, this author has kept the best story till last. Finn is, the youngest brother and has kept in the shadows of his brothers, but in reality, he is the most complex, and he may be the playboy, party lover, but he is just as broken as his brothers and hides his demons. Zaria has a huge heart, but she has her own demons, and no matter what she does it is never good enough for her family, and now her mother is setting up an arranged marriage with Finn. The chemistry between Finn and Zaria is combustible and undeniable, and bring into the mix Jarred, and they are complete. This is a beautifully written story which is an emotional roller coaster, with intrigue, secrets, heartbreak, redemption, family, friendships, passion, and love, which leads to a steamy and powerful riveting page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I always highly recommend.

Wow! I was completely blown away by Finn and Zaria’s story. We’re taken down a path of heartache, love and a roller coaster ride of emotions throughout this read. Learning the secrets Finn has kept tightly sealed within himself and then seeing him open and stand up for what he wants is beautiful. Zaria broke my heart when she revealed the path she was facing during a darker time in her life. Witnessing the dark path these individuals have been in and seeing them break through and follow their hearts is empowering to say the least. The storyline is capturing from the first chapter and then scenes are on fire and will have you breathing heavily along with them. A must read that can be enjoyed as a standalone but I doubt you’d want to miss out on the other brothers stories, you’ll be clicking theirs too if you haven’t already.

A Death to Seek is the third and final book in the Thornes & Roses Series. This time it is Finn’s story and Zaria’s story.
Finn is to do his duty to the family and marry Zaria Abadi. This is an arranged marriage by their fathers. But Finn has been secretly seeing Jarred.
Zaria moves to Thorne Manor prior to them getting married for them to get to know each other. What she finds is that Finn and Jarred have a thing going.
This is a MMF romance and one of my favorite kinds of reads.
Zaria is addicted to Social Media and it isn’t always for the better. It can bring on very negative thoughts by her after what people think about her.
I really enjoyed Zaria, Jarred and Finn’s story. They make the relationship work and bed@mned what anyone else thinks. I am looking forward to Dani René's next book, whatever it might be.

Another great book by Dani. You already know I’m crazy over her, I think you can call me obsessed. This story’s a different one, never read one of these.
I loved this book so much, like every other in the series!!! Dani has this poetic way of saying some things but she still manages to write it without being too much. She’s such a great author and totally deserves more hype.
We have one girl and two boys. All of them are very similar if you ask me. They all have been dealing with trauma, but the most honest and transparent about it was Finn. I love the three of them so much. Their combination was so powerful. When they weren’t together it always felt like something was missing. They fit so well together and I’m so happy that this one got a happy ending as well!!
Genuinely proud of you! Thank you for this ARC and for being my friend above all. She’s such a ray of sunshine between all of the darkness. I love you and congratulations on writing this beautiful book. I love you so much 🤍

This is the third book in Thornes & Roses, with Finn’s arranged marriage story finally being told, and to me, it was the most intriguing of the series. We’ve seen the playboy façade that Finn has presented, and now we get to experience the real Finn. What I love about most about Finn was the amount of growth he shows in this book, embracing his legacy and all that comes with it, knowing his worth and using everything he has to protect those he loves. I had a few moments where secrets were revealed & plot twists had me rereading parts—the author pulls some scenarios together perfectly! Loved revisiting other characters from past books too.
I received a copy of this book. My honest opinion is voluntarily provided.

I've been waiting for Finn's story in A Death To Seek and I'm so glad we finally have all the gang back together.
In this book we get to meet the youngest Thorne sibling Finn! Finn is definitely a confused character who keeps his biggest secrets locked up tight so when an arranged marriage is thrust upon him by his father Finn is unsure of were to turn! He wants to please his dad but he also wants to follow his heart.
Zaria is a beautiful young woman with her own closet of skeletons and she struggles to open the door up to her own problems but who can she trust to unburden her secrets too.
A powerful, gritty storyline with so many secrets to be unearthed! I loved this powerful series.

I've been waiting for this book because Finn has fascinated me from the very beginning and this story didn't disappoint in the least. I loved every second, until I reached the end and had to say goodbye to the fabulous Thorne brothers.
I've read most of the books by Dani Rene and I don't think I've read another story (by her) that's quite like this one. It had the complex characters and the dark themes that I'm used to, but there was something Finn was hiding that shocked me. It also made me love the story that much more. I'm not going to go into the plot or the secrets that are being kept, but I will tell you that this is a beautifully written love story that has it all. I highly recommend this series, but this is my favorite book of the bunch.

I highly recommend this series, but this is my favorite book of the bunch.

Finn's story is without a doubt a romance to devour!
The baby in the family comes out of the shadows with the shoes he has to fill. The secrets are creeping out and it's time for Finn to show his darker side. And it's one you don't want to miss.
I was pleasantly surprised on how different Dani made his character. In the previous Thorne novels, Finn always personified this witty, charismatic and joking behavior. Dani totally turned the tables and gave us a man who was dominant, alluring and downright SEXY!
"Judging someone before you know them is a form of a lie. You tell yourself the truths that you want to hear, but you don't actually know the whole story."

A beautifully flawed love story brought together from many broken pieces.
Finn Thorne is the youngest of the three brothers, and his life is filled with many secrets.
At times a hard to read storyline filled with many strong emotions that wll keep you captured and wanting more.
Zaria Abadi projects the perfect socialite rich spoilt and yet still feeling unwanted by her mother. After life throws her yet another curveball she finds out that her mother has plans Zaria's life that has her now living in the Thorne manor.
Such a beautiful emotional charged storyline filled with all the emotions.
