Three is a War

This series was interesting to me only because I didn’t understand why I was kept so enthralled. The writing was good, the character’s ok. I had a love/ hate relationship with the protagonist most of the time and I was neutral with both the men. Not enough character development in either one of them for me to like one more than the other. Their only difference seemed to be physical. But regardless of all this I kept on reading because I had to know who she would hopefully and eventually choose. A bit drawn out but in the end I understood her decision and the happy ending was given. Easy read, great suspense at times and the sex was oh so naughty.

This story starts with a BANG!
While I appreciate the absolute impossibility of Danni choosing and the importance of understanding why both men are great choices, I can’t help but feel most of book 3 is too similar to book 2 with slight variations. I’m more than halfway through this book and believe that instead of a trilogy, it could have been condensed into two books. They are in limbo. It doesn’t seem possible to come to a well-thought out conclusion. Danni loves them both too much. Not enough new information is given in the third book. It’s same old same old, which is a bit disappointing for this author’s normal brilliance.
The pain the three of them have to endure is heart wrenching and agonizing. How can they possibly recover and move on? The ending was good and appropriate. What a roller coaster ride!
The playlists in all 3 books really add an extra layer of beauty and understanding.

This is a difficult review for me. This author has gut wrenching writing and stories that shake you to your core...thats what I have come to expect. In this series - One is a hot promise of everything she has written before. Danni & Cole ignite the pages and Trace seeps like gasoline in between all that they know to blow this story wide open. The story weaves in and out of what we think is true and what is actually going on between the death of her lost love Cole. She moves onto Trace. In Book 2- 3 is a lie...I am over half way in and wanting to stop...this was not my best read...#2 book totally gets only 3 stars for droning on and on about how Danni will pick between Trace and the returned from the dead Cole!! GAH it is exhausting to read I really hated Danni but I kept going because maybe I was supposed to hate her. Then almost at the end of this book it gets good. So not sure there is anything to say about the middle book except it gets you to the last. While it is not off the charts in intrigue it is off the charts in sex, anxiety and has enough of a twist to make you feel redeemed for reading it. If you get into Book 2 just keep going Book 3 is a war ~will give you a reason for everything before. It was perfect for me. Trace and Danni...he was an enigma and polar opposite of Cole. Together they ignite the story and in the end its as it should be. So happy in the end and Cole goes back to undercover ops while Trace and Danni go forward together. So 4 stars all in all.
