The Bailey Family #3
A Malice Love 3
In this bone-chilling and blood-spilling finale, you see that people will do anything to keep their secrets safe and their livelihoods protected.
Who knew that one attempted suicide would cause so many problems is what Kason thought when all his secrets started rearing their ugly heads. When his secrets come out, he does the one thing that he thought he would never do, which is commit a murder and try to cover it up. When the one person he thought would never turn his back on him does just that, his life takes a wild turn no one will ever forget.
All of Malice’s secrets are on display for his wife and the world to see, but that is not stopping him from trying to work on his marriage. Realizing that his wife is not budging, he finds a new friend, but will she live up to Kam’s potential, or will Malice realize that he has more fight in him to get his wife back?
Kam woke up with her life playing out on TV as if she was a movie star. After she is released from the hospital, she tries to steer clear of her husband, but he is making that impossible by popping up everywhere and stalking her on social media. When she notices that Phoenix may have a new girlfriend, feelings that she thought were gone came rushing back at once.
Will Kam still go through with the divorce, or will she realize that true love is worth fighting for?

Finally this part of the series has ended. Kam and Malice have finally gotten there happily ever after. Her dad also gets to be a dad again and found love.
Idc Kason should have died a horrible death however the ass whupping he got was 😏.

*Review covering all three books in the ‘Malice’ series*
Kambridge 'Kam' Lewis and Phoenix 'Malice' Bailey are from two sides of Chicago, although their backgrounds are closely related. Kam is the suburbia, prep-school-educated daughter of Judge Lewis and Tracey. Malice is the youngest son of Paxton 'Korupt', kingpin and old acquaintance of Judge Lewis. Kam and Malice's fathers use them to settle old dilemmas; instead, the two fall in love and are taken on a rollercoaster of secrets, lies, and drama!
This series was a never-ending cycle of drama, drama, drama! Everybody was connected to everybody, and they all had secrets. I did enjoy the rise, fall, and rebuilding of Kam and Malice’s love story. Kam’s parents (Kason and Tracey) were absolute garbage! The way they treated her was worse than hate, and Tracey was OBSESSED! Cat, certifiably crazy! It took too long for her to get what was necessary. Malice wasn’t a bad dude, but he should have outed his secrets to Kam early on. Kam went through so much in this series and her change in character was kind of left field.
I enjoyed the first couple in this series and recommend it if you need some drama to keep you on pins and needles.

OMMMGGGG, I really didn’t want this book to end! I’m so happy for Malice and Kam, they got their happy ending! Kam really had it hard, phewww life threw her every curve ball. Glad my girl finally caught a break. Those parents both got what they asses deserved. This was a great series, now on to Mayhem’s story!!

I’m so happy that Malice & Kambridge got their happy ending, cause it was not looking good for a minute there.

So, I had to come to the computer to write this because it would've been too much to type on my phone. I was looking for a series with a lot of books and I ran across this one. I stopped everything I was reading and started book 1 on 11/11/2022 and I have been reading ever since. I 5 stared book 1-2 but I left no comment. Because I had to complete Malice and Kam's story before I made any kind of comment.
BABY!!!! I loved this book I loved the mannish way Malice handled Kam and the way even thought she was pissed with him she had his back. I was thinking that she was going to get Dontay killed by being friends with him. But he was stupid for even looking in her direction because he was aware of Malice's rep (so he had a death wish if you ask me.) I am glad that Big Will was able to get a 2nd chance on life and that Kason will NEVER, EVER, be free. I think that Cat, Tracy, and Taryn got what was coming to them because they asked for it. I am wondering what is going to happen to Kade, Shelly, Mayhem, and even little Kalena.

Malice and Kam have won my heart.
This series has blown me away! Of course, I had strong reactions throughout the book because it was back to back draaammmaaaa! I was just waiting for Malice and Kam to get it together and realize they couldn’t lose each other. I was just waiting for Malice, Korupt, Mayhem and Big Will to drag Kason. I was so disappointed in Tracey for standing by and letting a man abuse her daughter. What mom does that. On top of the fact Cat!!! That lady had me losing it. Don’t even get me started on the new chick Taryn. Like Malice must have a gold bar as a piece. It was ridiculous. But in the end love conquered all.
My only gripe is that the author continued to make every woman in each separate relationship call the man “daddy”. That was weird. And every time they did something they all “squirted”. Nothing wrong with it but it was so redundant and like come on…ALL OF THEM?! 🙄 Other than that the book series was great!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I could not stop reading. I loved these characters but honey the drama was real. I laughed. I cried. I almost wanted to throw my damn iPad into a wall because it seemed like they just couldn’t catch a break! I’m so very happy for Malice and Kam and now it’s time for his brother Mayhem’s story. Moving right along then!

I’m Glad I Stuck It Out!
Each book gets better and better! The way things played out was crazy. I really enjoyed the different couples. Ngl this series was great!! I really enjoyed it and now I’m going to continue on with the other books.
Here are a few things that I want on the record 🚨SPOILERS BELOW🚨 -
1. Kade was a wack brother and really could have done more.
2. Tracey death was not long enough for me (😭😂, she deserved worse. Idc Idc Id .)
3. Korrupt finally turned it around and became a decent father but THE NORTH REMEMBERS (he used to say and do the absolute most🙄)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
Whew!! This series was so good I read all three books in just a few days!! There were so many characters that I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up, but it was actually easy and everyone added something to the story. Kambridge went through so much, and seeing her finally loved the way she deserved was beautiful. Malice did not play about her, and his job added a wild twist I totally understood her being mad about. There are so many things I loved about this series! There’s so much that could be said about the characters, but honestly, I just really enjoyed this whole series. Five stars. ❤️❤️

Whew….. everything came full circle
Judge Kason was the worse and got everything thing she deserved. I loved that Malice never gave up on his wife and knew he didn’t want anyone else. He and Kam both was keeping secrets and saying things off emotion. Tracey was stupid and I couldn’t believe she went that far, but her fate was met. I just loved Trent being there for his baby girl and also finding love himself with Olivia. They were to cute and I loved that for them. The ending was great and I can’t wait to see what Mayhem does

Well everything is so much better when you can come full circle about life. The relationship between Malice and Kambridge. The writer shows the good ,the bad and the ugly of relationships and life.I tell you ,whom ever said that revenge is a dish best served cold,got it right. This story was well thought out and excuted. Take a ride and see life up close when its a "Malice Kinda of Love".

Malicious Finale!
Miss Bianca Xaviera wrapped up "A Malice Love 3" in a neat little bow! Kambridge and Malice fought hard for their love, and against enemies, foreign and domestic, to keep their love! Shelley turned out to be such a true and faithful friend that she at least deserves a novella! Loved the whole family (minus a n obvious few)!

A favorite of mine
Definitely one of my favorite series. It had some crazy moment that kept me going. Kam and Malice got there happily ever after along with Trent. I just love Malice family. Everyone supports each other. Well deserved. Now I won’t leave a long review because I am off to read the Mayhem series.

Meant to be
So much to uncover. Kam really went through it but glad that she's a survivor and conqueror. Karma whooped her parents like nobody could, except for what the men did to Kason. Things turned out how they were meant to be.

Beautiful finale
Kam tried it! She knew Malice meant his vows when he said them! I love how he protects her even when she tells him not to. Olivia & Trent were a good addition to the storyline. Kason & Tracey got what their despicable tails deserved. I love Shelly!🥰

dope story line
This story was great. Perfect ending. Kam knew she was not going leave Malice alone for good. They were a perfect match. That beating they put on the judge was exactly what he needed.
I can’t wait to see what happens with the rest of the family.

What a ride.
This book took you on an emotional ride that you didn't want to get off. The lies and drama that these people went through were insane. Love all three books. Can't wait to read more from this author.

great series
I really enjoyed this series. Even tho Kam and Malice relationship got rocky n the middle, I’m so happy that everything came together n the end. Kason and Tracey both got the karma they deserved. And I happy Trent got his happy ending. Overall great series.
