Crimes of Passion #3

Who Will Be Her Lover

There’s nothing left to give.
No forgiveness to be had.
Everything I’ve ever known and loved has been taken from me.
That leaves only one thing: revenge.
And I intend to exact it.


Inmate Alisha Thompson has had enough. The justice system has failed her in more ways than one. Now she’s seeing red and taking matters into her own hands. And she’ll stop at nothing to uncover the truth if it means avenging her husband’s death.

Ivy Rogers thinks she’s outsmarted them all. But she had no idea what she was in for when Caramie Langley entered her life. Just how much does her son’s nanny know about her past? And did she have anything to do with Ivy’s tumultuous downfall?

Soon their secrets will be exposed; after all, the lines between love, lust, and hate are often blurry.

Intensely unnerving and vindictive, Who Will Be Her Lover is the nail-biting conclusion to the provocative Crimes of Passion psychological thriller series.

"Ms. Jump again takes you on one of the sexiest and most scandalous rides you have ever been on! It is the most heart-pounding, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat story I have ever read!" Lisa, Goodreads Reviewer

This is the third and final book in the Crimes of Passion Series. As with the previous two books, I devoured this book. Its dark and spicy! It was a great ending to the series. So many twists that I didn’t see coming and the ending was chef kiss and tied up in a nice little bow. If you are looking for a deliciously spicy series that you won’t want to put down, this is the spicy thriller series you need to add to your TBR.

A big thanks to Shannon Jump for my #gifted copy and allowing me to be on your review team!

This was a whole lot of “what the fuck?” with a dash of “why am I crying because it’s over?”

Well, shit.

4.5⭐ Rounded up.
I knocked off a half star for one scene . This has more to do with me than the writing, but still.
This was a fabulous end to the series.
There was heat, of course, but there was also so many moving pieces that had to be tied up and Lady Jump did it with style!
There were a few things I didn't see coming, and a few things I didn't want to happen, but I get why she did it. If you haven't read any of Lady Jump's books this series is an amazing place to start!
Much love to Shannon Jump for letting me be a part of her JumpStreet team and getting this ARC into my hands.
My pre-ordered paperback arrived early and is looking super pretty on the shelf with all her other books. Look forward to seeing what Lady Jump does next!

Who Will Be Her Lover is the 3rd and final book in the Crimes of Passion series. It’s broken into 2 parts and told in 1st person from the POVs of Alisha, Ivy and Caramie. I had the absolute pleasure of beta reading and giving feedback
(not that Shannon needed much since her brain is brilliant) and I’m so thankful for the opportunity. Watching this series and particularly this final book come together was a great experience.

Like the other 2 books in the series, Who Will Be Her Lover drew me right in from the very first page!! I absolutely loved having seeing the different perspectives of the women. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it over and over again, Shannon’s writing is incredible. This was a great ending to a trilogy and I wouldn’t be mad to see some of these characters make an appearance in the future 😏 I’m incredibly sad to see this series end and the characters go (especially Alisha) but wow what an incredible and twisty finale to a thrilling series 🤯

Song Rec: Vigilante Shit by Taylor Swift

“I don’t start it, but I can tell you how it ends, don’t get sad, get even….”

I was mildly concerned when I finished Like A Bird in Flight- how was Shannon Jump going to bring this convoluted, insanely delicious trilogy to a rewarding end?

Spoiler alert: she absolutely killed it.

The Crimes of Passion series finale is a lustful game of chess between inmates Ivy and Alisha. With the outside dealings of Caramie, the stakes have never been higher or more deadly.

I finished Who Will Be Her Lover a week ago and I am still trying to find the words for a review to do this book justice. The ending. Dear Lord. I did not see it coming. If I had pearls on, they would be CLUTCHED. This series belongs in a genre of it’s own and I loved every juicy, unhinged moment. The multiple first person POV, the varying degrees of evil, the STEAM- it all came together as a satisfying exclamation point of an ending. Bravo to the author!

This book contains content that may be triggering for some readers. For a full list of warning, please DM me or the author directly. Who Will Be Her Lover will be available in KindleUnlimited on 11/15 and the full series edition will also be available as an Amazon exclusive in both paperback and kindle!

Another great one by @shannonjumpauthor

Ivy & Alisha are still at war with each other when Ivy ends up in the same prison, that she got Alisha put into, for a murder that she didn't commit. As if prison life isn't hard enough, Alisha is determined to make Ivy pay for killing her husband.

You definitely want to read this series if you have not already! I can't wait to see what Shannon comes up with next!

NOTE: If you have not read the first two books of the series, you must do that before diving into this one.
I could not wait to get my hands on the conclusion of this series! Thank you to Shannon for the ARC copy and for allowing me to be a part of your team!

Will Ivy win Alisha’s heart? What is Alisha’s plan? How will they navigate prison together? How does Caramie fit into the picture?

Who will be Her Lover is pure perfection. It is wildly consuming! These characters penetrate your thoughts and leave you thinking about them long after you turn the last page.

More twist and crazy than anything I have ever read!

Coming November 15, 2022--the climactic end to the Crimes of Passion series! I am so thankful to be on Shannon's ARC team so I could get a chance at an early read. First, if you have not the other two books in the trilogy, DO NOT proceed with this book until you're caught up.

The fates of Alisha, Ivy, and Caramie are all woven together in such sly, intricate ways. Alisha is still trying to avenge her husband's death, Ivy is still gloating and seemingly untouchable, and Caramie...well, I'm going to let you meet her and draw your own conclusions.

This storyline never lost steam over the course of three books, and it was an absolute delight to have one more round with these characters. I was so honored to have a character named after me, and a correctional officer at that! Was I one of the good ones or one of the power-hungry, domineering ones? You don't have much longer to find out! Forever grateful to the author for my early copy!

This was an absolutely incredible, jaw dropping, insane ending to this series. I had to spend the weekend processing the ending before coming back to write the review because I am just really not ready to let go of these characters. I was absolutely shocked by how this last book went and really did not see ANY of the events coming. I loved watching Alisha and Ivy continue to play cat and mouse and loved to see the conclusion of their saga happen in a way that gave them both the justice they deserved. I only had one or two questions left at the end that the author cleared up for me (I probably should have realized the answers on my own looking back but there were some references to the 2nd book that I had forgotten). Overall, this sexy thriller series gave me everything I never knew I needed. This was just everything. Don't walk, RUN and buy this!!!!

The much anticipated conclusion to the Crime of Passion series! Trust me when I say you’ll want to block off a chunk of time to read this in one sitting! Once I started reading I was so immersed in the story and desperate to see how it would end! It’s so twisty and there are lots of shocking revelations and unexpected moments. Like the other books in the series, I love how you feel like the characters are talking directly to you and sharing their darkest thoughts with you as the reader. It makes you feel even more connected and invested in the story! Highly recommend checking out this series!

Thank you so much Shannon Jump for the early copy!

Incredible, addictive, and binge worthy end to this phenomenal series. I could not put this down. THAT EPILOGUE?! The way these characters stories ended was fantastic. Shannon’s writing is simply unmatched. The multiple POV is done flawlessly and you truly feel like you’re in these characters’ heads.

Pick up this series and binge it all in one weekend just like you would a Netflix series because it is so good!

OMG……Shannon Jump has done it again!!! Who Will Be Her Lover is the highly anticipated finale (or is it??) to one the BEST scandalous series I have ever read! You MUST read Wouldn’t You Love To Love Her and Like A Bird In Flight first. This storyline just flows from start to finish! She had me blushing in the first book, sitting on the edge of my seat for the second, and this one, well my mind is blown! It is told in multiple point of views and the revelations are shocking!! There is no guessing in this one, Ms. Jump just puts it all out there and it is exceptionally shocking!!! This one has some of the steamiest twists yet!!! Addictive and unputdownable, this one will have your heart pounding and picking your jaw up off the floor numerous times throughout this fast paced book!!! I would love to spend some time in Shannon Jumps mind, it is just amazing what comes from it!! I highly recommend this provocative addition to a series that will not disappoint!!

Thank you Shannon Jump for allowing me to be a part of your team and this series. I was totally honored and surprised to read my name in this series. My opinions are my own.

SHANNNNOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN. Ma’am. Holy Fuck. What the actual fuck. These are the actual words I personally used when I started beta reading the final installment of The Crimes of Passion series, Who Will Be Her Lover. I messaged her gasping and clutching my pearls. Annoyed her with Voice Messages - news flash, she hates them but indulges me cuz she knows I am lazy.

I have said this time and time again, when Shannon writes, she sucks you in. She writes as if the characters are sitting right in front of you having a full on conversation with you. You can hear their voices in your head. This is probably also why these 3 psychotic bitches popped up in my dreams one night, and not in that way you pervert. The twists, I did not see coming. The sexy time parts… lets just say, Shannon knows how to write a damn sex scene 🍆🍑. THAT FREAKIN EXTENDED EPILOGUE, I DID NOT SEE COMING, changed the whole freakin book, and made me love Alisha a hell of a lot more than what I did already. I just can’t gush about this book, or this series enough. The series alone has made it into my top 3 of the year, and I’m also not saying this because yours truly is in there talking about housewives and boobs. This series is freakin sexy, brilliant, thrilling, twisty, and bloody.

Shannon, thank you for letting me be a part of your beta team and seeing you work your madness from start to finish. I cannot wait to see what’s next for you. The future is bright for you, and I need my shades so I can see it unfold and watch you grow!

Noooooo…….I refuse to accept that this is over. This Crimes of Passion series has been unreal. I don’t reread books - there’s just too many out there - but these will be read again. I need to go back and absorb its totality.

I did not keep the promise to myself to read this book the second I got my hands on it and I don’t know why the hell not. I can’t believe this beaut has been on my Kindle for this long. I hate when life and other obligations get in the way of such amazingness!

The first person writing that Shannon does is outstanding. I find myself flying through the pages and forgetting things I should be doing. Like sleeping. I did fall asleep. For about three and a half minutes. Got up. Made sure my kids were sleeping. Picked up the book again and read the whole damn thing in about a 3 hour timeframe.

These characters feel like they are part of me, and I’m not going to lie - I loved the epilogue and the revelation that Alisha gives us 🙌🏼 I don’t hate you, Alisha - I love what you did!

Shannon - keep rocking this part-time gig of yours. I am forever grateful to be a part of the Jump Street Team (and forever begging of forgiveness for my late reading 🙏🏻)!

I’ll shout it from the rooftops again - GO GET THIS SERIES. We all need to do a better job of supporting these amazing indie authors!

“Devils disguised as humans do make the best predators.”

Inmate Alisha Thompson has had enough. The justice system has failed her in more ways than one. Now she’s seeing red and taking matters into her own hands. And she’ll stop at nothing to uncover the truth if it means avenging her husband’s death.

Ivy Rogers thinks she’s outsmarted them all. But she had no idea what she was in for when Caramie Langley entered her life. Just how much does her son’s nanny know about her past? And did she have anything to do with Ivy’s tumultuous downfall?

Soon their secrets will be exposed; after all, the lines between love, lust, and hate are often blurry.

Intensely unnerving and vindictive, Who Will Be Her Lover is the nail-biting conclusion to the provocative Crimes of Passion psychological thriller series.

It’s official! I have been psychologically thrilled!! (See what I did there?) 😜

Ok so I had barely begun this book and already my jaw was on the floor. Shannon ties up The Crimes Of Passion series with a deliciously dark and addictive conclusion to this crazy story of betrayal, sex, love, and obsession.

Shannon! Book 3! Wow!

I’m pretty sure all of my reviews start in a similar way, but I just can’t help it because you always manage to impress me!

Your writing style makes for such an enjoyable reading experience. I always feel like I’m caught in the middle of all the chaos and I enjoy every second of it! Such an addictive, binge worthy, and spicy series!!

It’s hard to believe that the series has finally wrapped - how bittersweet! I will miss the craziness of Alisha, Ivy, and everyone else but I am so so so excited to see what else you have in store for us.

Congrats on your first series and for wowing readers all over the damn place. Thank YOU for allowing me to be a part of your process. Sending all the love, hugs, & champagne! 🥂

Well this was one fantastic conclusion to a wild ride!

This series is everything a psychological thriller should be. There’s murder, mystery, mayhem, love triangles — it’s all here. This final installment in particular was quite twisty!

We get to hear from the POV of our 3 major players; Alisha, Ivy and Caramie as they work through the mess they seem to have found themselves in. 2 are in prison for murder and the remaining one is essentially the eyes on the outside.

I love the way these books are written. It’s the characters themselves telling us a story. It’s really like we’re just chilling and having some girl talk with them as they share their deepest, darkest secrets.

I’m sad that it’s over! I wasn’t ready but the ending was so perfect!

What an amazing conclusion to the Crimes of Passion series from @shannonjumpauthor! We jump right into how Ivy and Alicia are navigating live in prison and the games they have to play to survive. Caramie’s POV was a great addition to this book and the role she played in this one had my mind racing as I connected the dots! The passion, anger, lust, and mind games are still at the forefront of this novel and Shannon has executed it beautifully. I was so satisfied with the ending and the epilogue was 🤯🤯 If you are looking for a spicy novel with amazing twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end, then this is a series for you!

Shannon, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your Jump Street team, it’s an absolute pleasure to read your novels! Pub Date is today, November 15th! 👀

Dang! That’s my first thought of this book. @shannonjumpauthor you’re super talented and have done it again with the last book of the Crimes of Passion series. I was hooked right away because I HAD to know what happened with our lovely characters from the last book. Plus, these characters.🔥My thoughts on this series: Smoldering, provocative, thrilling. In total, there are three books in the series.

Wowza! This book gave me whiplash in the best way possible. Everything tying together at the end and that epilogue…makes you feel like you got closure but then not really. This is the third and final installment of Crimes of Passion series. You HAVE TO read the first and second one to realize what's going on. I loved the small chapters. Shannon Jump, I really loved this. Thank you for sharing this and letting me be on your street team!

This book was twisted. . .in so many good ways. Nothing is ever as it seems in this series. I whipped through the final book in one sitting, eager to see how it would end. I was captivated by the epilogue. I'm glad Jump included that little extra. It made me question everything, and I loved that. This story was already so twisted, and you never knew who you could trust- the epilogue was icing on that delicious and naughty cake!

This whole series has been so much to read. This is the final book and we finally wrap up lose ends and get that final "wow" factor thrown in. I loved all the surprises, twists and turns, and everything this series had to offer. I loved the characters, the storyline, how these books made me feel, everything. I highly suggest you check this series out, it any books by this author. I've enjoyed everything so far.

"I don't want to think about what happens if they let me out of here. Because if they do, this is just eh beginning.
And in their attempts to punish me, they'll only have created a monster."

Did I read this in a day? Hell yes I did. Once you pick this book up cancel all your plans because you won't be going anywhere until the last sentence of that epilogue.

The conclusion was a mix feelings. Beeing in prison sooner or later you come togethet one way or an other. Unforunatelly all the bad things come out. And also the twist were not so great as in previous books but they conclude somehow the trilogy.

You can not have in all. You have to decide what you want more.
