Taking him down in a ball of flames…

My world had come crashing down as I stared at her.

She laid before me, helpless, and I knew it was my fault.

Darkness settled upon me.

But it was soon followed by rage.

I’d been holding back, but there was no turning around now.

If he thought I wouldn’t seek vengeance,

He’d better think again.

Absolutely astounding!! Another one hit out into the stratosphere!! Ace Bolton and Harlow Robinson have been put through the ringer in this series and the final instalment does not disappoint. Their path has been filled with insta-lust, rage, heat, sorrow, passion, anguish, danger, betrayal, and, best of all, love. They haven't had an easy or traditional relationship, that's for sure. This is the exciting conclusion that leads to the happily ever after we want but it will come at a cost to the couple.

Their day started off with an excellent romp in bed. Ace left to head into the city to attend his board meeting and Harlow was happily working her planned shift at the bookstore when things went awry. Ace received a phone call from a very scared Harlow who was racing through town to escape Emma, her former best friend. He had to listen to her be involved in a horrendous collision, knowing that he wouldn't be there in time to save her. When he finally does make it to the scene, the two vehicles are barely recognizable and Harlow has already been taken away by ambulance. He is losing control and that is one of the worst things that can happen to a man of his stature. Kingston Cross and Cross Sentinel are in charge of the scene, not the local police, where they have Emma secured, and Ace rushes to be at Harlow's side. Harlow's poor face and body are bruised and battered. It is going to take significant time to recover and Ace stays by her side while she recuperates. Throughout all the events that brought the couple together, Ace hasn't given up on his search for Falcone, the man behind all of their woes. If Ace can only find him, he will be able to put an end to the threats and attempts on Harlow's life. But into the best laid plans there is always a monkey wrench thrown. Ace and Harlow will learn many hard truths along the way and have to deal with disappointment and betrayal. People aren't always who and what they seem and this holds true for the ones pulling the puppet strings leading Ace and Harlow around. When you cut those strings, the result is either to crumple at the puppet master's feet or stand up and fight back. You can guess which method Ace chooses. Both of them are scrappers, having grown up with similar backgrounds. The system didn't break them when they were younger and they aren't about to let life and their enemies get the best of them now.

Get ready for a plot that twists and turns. Life would be boring if the road was straight and it is most definitely curved and twisting back on itself in this book. I highly recommend this series. Quick paced, action packed, with everything your little heart could desire thrown in to keep you catching your breath.

Harlow and Ace's story has had me firmly in its grip right from the start and boy, did the final book deliver! This is book three of three, so be sure to start at book 1, The Billionaire's Auction and then read The Billionaire's possession before diving into this book. Trust me, you don't was to miss out on any of the oh so, intriguing details or juicy bits along the way! Buckle up for more rich angst, intense suspense, raw emotion, fiery heat, taut drama and stunning twists before you finally reach the end of this incredible series. This is my freely posted frank, review.

Billionaire vengeance is book three in this trilogy.

It picks up right where book two ending in a cliffhanger and let me tell you Bri did not disappoint. I was not expecting what happened. She does end the series with a happy ending. I was worried there for a second lol.

I love how Harlow and Ace’s love story. With all the twists and turns she gets her happy ending and a surprise. Ace was such a good guy for it to.


I can’t wait to see how the other series play out.

Harlow and Ace. The pair we came to root for from the start. After everything these two endured in the previous books, this finale was well worth it. The drama of the car incident pulled so many pieces together. It all boiled down to the character we hated. Jerald's twisted since of life had brought hell on to them. His involvement with Kiki, Falcon and Emma made him so easy to hate. Harlow helped Ace move past all of this and Ace gave her something she never thought possible in return. What a fantastic series!

This is an honest review for Arc. 4.75 star rating please
Do read authors notes and to understand Ace & Harlow you need to start from the beginning.

“We started out fast and hard ……. slow and steady would help us in the long term”

Not going to spoil, but will throw out thoughts and questions. -
* A changed Ace, something he himself is getting used to.
* Harlow has been a target from the veery beginning. Why???
* Questions on Ace’s grandfather. Was he involved with Harlow’’s accident???
* Falcone, why did he want Harlow removed? There is more than a debt owed?
* Parentage of Harlow?
* ??? Again grandpa’s involvement and how far back did it go? Was gramps aware of Kiki ??
- Food for thought.

Vengeance - : Evolution of Ace with a twist. Tantalising, delicious, spine tingling, dominating, emotional. This basically described Ace. A man who evolved throughout the trilogy. Answers, conclusions well presented. Both Ace and Harlow fought for what they established, but also crossed many hurdles to reach their destination. To understand Ace, you need to read ‘The Billionaire’s Trilogy’ from the start. Then and only then you can appreciate who Ace the man is and what made him the man he becomes.
Harlow too, a pawn for some, salvation for one. Again, no spoiling for readers, an appreciation to read and accepting the characters is of your own choosing.

Bri has excelled with Ace /Harlow and all characters. Personally love how crossovers are in play and will be further pursued. No cliffhanger but will be reading more of the characters in further reads. There is still much to explore. Don’t miss out on bonus material 😉

Thanks Bri for letting us into your world of Ace/Harlow and the Cross members.

After the cliffhanger at the end of The Billionaire’s Possession, I couldn’t wait for this book. It was worth the wait though as I have to say it was the best book out of the trilogy!

It picks up right where we were left off and boy are you in for a journey in this one! I fall more in love with Ace and Harlow’s relationship with every page! The development of his feelings from the first book to the one is one of the best I have ever read!

Oh, the angst and suspense in this book though! This is written as well as the romance and spice are! I couldn’t put the book down, it is one of those that you just haave to know wat is going to happen

And that twist towards the end, I did not see that coming until maybe a couple of chapters before but even then I wasn’t 100% sure until it was confirmed.

I loved the ending for this. Both the Epilogue and Bonus Epiloguje were perfect for them!

I can’t wait for the Brentson University series to come out later this year as I will be picking it up as soon as I can!

An ending with a twist

After the last book that I struggled with, this is the ending that we've all been waiting for. Ace finally gets vengeance on those that have wronged him and Harlow, and he did it in style.
The story starts with the cliffhanger and doesn't really let up until the last page. Lots of villains to deal with, and the biggest, baddest one of them all was both expected and so unexpected at the same time. That one was incredibly satisfying, especially after we found out the completely insane and bewildering reasons behind their actions.
More than anything, I was pleased that Ace and Harlow ended up living in light and airy homes instead of that mausoleum monstrosity that Ace was slowly fading away in.
It was nice to see a couple of the Cross brother cameos, and Parker too. I'm looking forward to his trilogy, especially after what we learn about him this time, but it looks as though I'll have to wait until after the next trilogy, though that looks promising too (apart from both trilogies containing the dreaded cliffhangers like this trilogy did!).

I received an ARC copy of this book and I am leaving a review voluntarily.

I loved this book! It was actually my favourite in the series. I loved watching Ace grow emotionally, his love for Harlow is so clear. After the accident, he's waiting for her to wake up and I loved how Bri made it so you really believe his concern, his anxiety, and desperation for her to get better.

I apreciated all of the open communication in this book, once Harlow felt that she was ready to know what was happening, Ace openly talked about her accident, his plans for revenge, and the details they were learning along the way.

The only thing I didn't love was Ace's willingness to forgive his grandfather, in the other books Ace wasn't so trusting of others, especially those who have treated him poorly so I felt that this was out of character and really had me screaming at the book. All this being said, I obviously gave the book 5 stars, so it didn't really bother me that much.

The whole series is a great read and I would definitely recommend reading it.

This was the ending we have all been waiting for. Ace has let Harlow in and given her his love and protection. He will do anything to keep her safe and show her every day how much he loves her. When her life is once again threatened and he finds himself in the position of waiting to see is she will survive he is determined if she does nothing will ever hurt her again. Harlow is so in love with Ace and the more he takes care of her the more she falls for him. These two are a powerful couple together she will push him to become the best man he can. There are till twists and action and things you didn't see coming to make it even better. What a well written ending that keeps you reading all the way to the end. You will fall in love with these two even more. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.

Ace and Harlow!

Well all good things have to come to a end sometines and Ace and Harlow did fine peace and happiness even if his grandfather did have to die.His grandfather vwas a sick man if he was having Harlow killed so Ace would stay on track.And she was c able to finally talk and re connect with her birth mother and learn the why's. So alot of the questions were answered but their was still a few more but some day maybe they will be answered! I'm glad the men's heads on this series wasn't cut off,because looking at the cover at times is part off a sell for me and just not how hot the story sounds!Great job Bri and I will read more of your books I'm sure!Please everyone who is trying to fine something interesting to read try this series because they are hot,steamy and keeps you guessing!

This is the third and concluding part of this phenomenal trilogy, and this story pucks up from the cliffhanger ending in the previous novel. There is certainly and unexpected twist which is never saw coming! Ace will do whatever he must to protect and keep Harlow safe, while she is willing to stand firmly beside her man. This is a well written story which is emotionally charged, dark, raw, gritty, and intense, with intrigue, vengeance, angst, suspense, drama, twists, and love, which leads to a steamy and perfect conclusion. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Sitting on the cliff of The Billionaire’s Possession was so worth it! This is in my top 3 trilogies and this ending was just so perfect…kind of screwed up, which is probably why I dig it so much, but perfect nonetheless. The trilogy as a whole hits some of the best tropes. You roll from the enemies to lovers vibe that is The Billionaire’s Auction, into the second chance romance of Possession, then cap it with that kind of twisted, yet totally beautiful, happy ending that makes you smile (maybe even blush, totally depends on how you react to Ace’s dirty mouth) right here with Vengeance. I’m sated.

Fantastic conclusion to the trilogy! So good. Harlow is unconscious in the hospital with Ace constantly at her side praying for her recovery. Ace is desperate to find the instigator of the plot to kidnap Harlow leading to the automobile accident. Meanwhile Kingston and Parker are still searching for Emma and Falcone without much success. Ace's grandfather has been pressuring him for a meeting. Since they have never been on good terms, Ace suspects something sinister is going on. There is a wonderful romance as well. Some violence too. And at the end, all the bits are tied up and everyone gets their just deserts! Great series!

Ace: I will never let anyone hurt you.

Ace and Harlow were invited to his father’s private island. Ace was really surprised because his father had never even given him the time of day. Why would he start now. Daddy dearest act was fairly good, being remorseful for his lack of interest in Ace’s life until now. But Ace just had a gut feeling. When two goons came into the room and pulled out their guns and daddy pulled out his, he had to stop this. Daddy said he was going to kill Harlow. She was just a distraction that he would not allow. This is a awesome book!!!! You will love it!!! I did.

I have enjoyed the trilogy for Ace & Harlow and loved how their relationship has progressed throughout the book.
However again I felt this was a little rushed and could have actually been a book with up to 300 pages not 186.
The relationship with her mother was just too quickly brushed over, the issue with his grandfather I had guessed that from when he turned up at CIH it was just too coincidental.
Also we still don’t know what happened to Emma and I would have liked to know what the decision had actually been.
Like I said it’s a good storyline and I probably would have liked to see a baby maybe in the extended novella.

The Ruthless Billionaire Trilogy.

Ms. Blackwood has easily acquired a NEW FAN!

This trilogy satisfied this dark romance reader without any reservations!

I was absolutely captured by the story!

Harlow and Ace are so well fleshed, you'll feel like you Know them!

I do so enjoy this trope. I often question my mental health, but, since writers write this, and many readers read it, I feel like I'm in good company and not on an island.

Thank you for satisfying my dark side!

Ace and Willow's story came together perfectly. I felt with this book we really got to see their relationship grow in this book and see not only Ace's power and what he'd do for Willow but also Willow's growth.
Once I got to the end of the book where everything came out, I did find things felt a little rushed. There were reveals that happened that I don't think got some of the time they deserved, and the bonus epilogue also seemed a little rushed.
Despite the end feeling rushed, I still give this book and series 5 stars. I loved the story and can't wait to read more from Bri Blackwood.

Wow - what a thrilling conclusion to the Ruthless Billionaire Trilogy that immediately sucked me into the middle of all that was happening and I was totally immersed, sitting on the edge of my seat, until I read the last word. I loved the steamy off-the-charts romance between Ace and Harlow and felt I was right beside them during their ups and downs, surprises and OMG moments. Ms. Blackwood blew me away with the BIllionaire's Vengeance and I can hardly wait to see what she has for us next. I received an advance reader copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review.

The story continues, picking up the action where Part 2 left us. The dual pov carries on so we know what both Ace and Harlow are thinking and feeling as the action heats up and we are left wondering who is really after Harlow and why or are those we believe are responsible lying for reasons unknown. The story climaxes with a surprising conclusion, before realising Ace and Harlow's HEA. All told, I enjoyed the trilogy and found Ms. Blackwood's writing easy to read and her storytelling style easy to get caught up in.

I am voluntarily leaving this review. This was a great end to this trilogy! That plot twist wasn’t quite what I expected. I was hooked from page one.

I love how protective Ace is over Harlow and how he will risk everything to protect her and make her happy. I love how Harlow isn’t afraid to put Ace in his place and stand behind her man!

I can’t wait to see what else Bri has in store for us! I am loving all the appearances from the broken cross series as well!

This is the third and final book in the Trilogy. You will need to read Read The Billionaire’s Auction and The Billionaire’s Possession before reading this book. If you like dark romances and enemy to lovers themes you'll enjoy this book. Be warned that once you start reading you'll find this book hard to put down. It's been an intense series and it's nice to get to the finale. I read an arc via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.

Loved this story!
Ace & Harlow have such a special place in my heart after this trilogy.
This book took place after the aftermath/cliffhanger from book 2.
You definitely want to read books 1 & 2 before reading this book.
Otherwise you'll be fully lost as this is a continuation story.
Loved Ace's passion for his girl and finding vengeance for what was done to her.
Bri is an amazing storyteller and I can't wait for more from her.

Great ending!

This series was really awesome! I love her writing and although I thought the second book dragged a bit I now realize that it really brought everything together and the ending had a surprising twist! I am always ready for another Bri Blackwood book so off to read a series that was recommended by her at the end of this book. Did I mention the very hot sizzling hot sex scenes! Well she has a way of making my Kindle sizzle! :) Enjoy!

After that cliffhanger ending in book two (The Billionaire's Possession), I couldn’t wait to see what would happen with Ace and Harlow, and I was not disappointed. Ace and Harlow’s road to a happily ever after isn’t an easy one and is filled with suspense, danger, action, unexpected twists, and love. I loved the ending….it absolutely perfect. A definite must read book and series!

The Billionaire's Vengeance was a wonderful conclusion to Harlow and Ace's story. This book picked up right from where we left off in book 2. Answers are starting to emerge and we are thrown for a few loops while we figure out who is behind the plot to kill Harlow. Not everything is as it seems and the ending will shock you.
