My Rating: FIVE DIVINELY ENTERTAINING STARS*****
Resolution is the long awaited third and final book in the Swept Away Series by J.S. Cooper and she totally blew my mind - again!!! Cooper has dazzled her readers yet again with the masterful and riveting conclusion to her Swept Away Series and what a conclusion it is! In Illusion, the first book of the Swept Away series, Cooper laid the groundwork for an intricate web of romance, mystery, intrigue and suspense with a wonderfully diverse cast of characters that are fascinating, captivating, complex and intriguing. They explode from the pages and demand your complete attention. This story captures and holds you from beginning to end. I was totally enthralled! Cooper continued the intrigue with Book 2, Disillusioned, and has now delivered Resolution, the pièce de résistance and what I consider to be the best and most spectacular book of the series. It is exciting, dark, powerful, suspenseful, mysterious, compelling, thrilling, witty, riveting, enticing, arousing, romantic, and sensual. The narrative is exceptionally well written in the first person with multiple points of view but the story is told primarily by the female protagonist, Bianca London, complemented with first person inserts from the past as narrated by her father, Nicholas London. The dialogue is smart, snappy, hypnotic, at times humorous and flows effortlessly. The characters are interesting, fascinating, captivating, intriguing, engaging and sexy as sin. A wonderfully written dark tale of danger, murder, deception, betrayal, revenge, suspense, kidnapping, romance and dare I say, possibly resolution and redemption?
Beautiful Bianca London is determined to solve the mystery of her mother's death and claim her rightful shares of Jeremiah Bradley's company but suddenly finds herself kidnapped, tied up, in the dark, in the trunk of a moving car with an unknown man. What the heck? This was bad-very very bad! Surely it couldn't get much worse! Wrong! It does get worse, much worse when she awakens on the beach of an unknown deserted island with the very same sexy stranger. Except, he isn't actually a stranger. Bianca did meet him once, very briefly, in a coffee shop. But she doesn't even know his name - until now. After their rescue and departure from the island, Bianca discovers that the handsome stranger and fellow captive is none other than Jakob Bradley, son of Jeremiah Bradley, the man who was quite possibly responsible for her mother's death. After the harrowing experience on the island, Bianca finally learns that Jakob, the man to whom she has given not only her trust but also her heart, has been lying to her from the beginning. He not only betrayed her but is actually the person who orchestrated her abduction! What? Oh my glory! Bianca must decide if the handsome Jakob Bradley is friend or foe but she must remember her Father’s words - “Friends can be foes and foes can be friends”. It seems that none of the people involved are who they say, friends included, and all of them seem to have a hidden agenda, and unfortunately, at least one of them truly wishes her harm - deadly harm. Who's a girl to trust? Will Bianca ever be able to discover the truth hidden in her father's letter and unravel the mystery of her mother’s death? Will she be able to successfully navigate the waters of lies, deceit and betrayal in order to decrypt the clues, mysterious messages and secrets of the past and remain alive? Does Jakob Bradley truly care about Bianca or is his profession of love merely a ruse which is all part of a deadly scheme to exact revenge for his mother's suicide? Will the secret revelations from the past destroy Bianca's chance for happiness, and possibly claim her life? We'll see! No spoilers from me but I will say this – Beautiful naïve history major-check! Mysterious, handsome, alpha man-check! Cast of suspicious characters-check! Danger, drama suspense, betrayal, revenge, unknown enemies, evil machinations, heartbreaking angst and surprising plot twists at every twist and turn-check! Heated attraction, fiery passion, steamy romance and dreamy sex-you betcha! Oh my! It kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! Well done, Ms. Cooper, very well done! You have delivered another masterpiece of romantic suspense! Deliciously dark, seriously sexy, completely captivating and divinely entertaining!!!
