Publisher's summary

With a single decision, Olivia Germaine’s fantasy has become a reality. Now, she’s faced with two commitments - one she must make, and one she must break. But in order to accept a love she never thought possible, Olivia will have to let go of the broken past that defines her...and of deeply rooted fears that could ruin everything.

Everything is what David Dylan wants to give her, and it’s what he demands in return. He’ll do anything to prove to Olivia that despite his playboy ways, he’s worth leaving behind the stable future her husband can offer her.

But even though he’s a man who always gets what he wants...this time, David may be fighting for something unattainable.

WOW

Wow What an absolutely beautiful story . Could not love David and Olivia story anymore what a beautiful ride what a beautiful couple. Love this series wish I had found it sooner but I have found it and it was beautiful. Love this type of series. Perfect narration.

4.5 stars

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Loved this series and this was a great ending to it- staying true to each of the characters. Thought provoking, entertaining, eye opening, great sex and ultimately one hell of a series.

Would love to get Gretchen and Brian's story.

What about Andi Arndt’s performance did you like?

True to character and played all the emotions perfectly

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

One glance. One chance encounter. One life changing whirlwind.

I loved this series

Where does Come Together rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

top 10

What did you like best about this story?

i mean there was a lot of sex ( which is always good) however i loved the LOVE story behind it, that she was willing to give up anything for david, it just goes to show how powerful love really is, because of this i could definitely relate.

What about Andi Arndt’s performance did you like?

OMG I LOVE ANDI ARNDT!!!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When she broke down and knew she wasn't able to live w/o david and finally expressed it to him.

Any additional comments?

i believe this series was a little dragged out, however when the end result finally came out it was totally worth it. People these days don't know what "REAL" love feels like and this is a prime example of it. when u know ur over the moon love in with someone you know, its magical.

Cheating Never Felt So Good

I really enjoyed the series. It was so good. I felt guilty for enjoying a series about cheating but it was good. I’m disappointed that she lost some friends. I think friends should care about their friends happiness.

Unpredictable Ending!

This is the third book in the Cityscape Series. If you have not read both of the previous books, PLEASE STOP reading my review. My review MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. This is your LAST WARNING, stop reading unless you want to be annoyed!

The cliffhanger ending in Come Alive (book number two in Cityscape Series) has been decided early on in Come Together. Now begins the hard work and consequences for Olivia and her decisions.

What is to become of her many relationships, with her husband, David, her friends and coworkers? Will they just judge Olivia's actions and if so, does Olivia care?

While the end was a different outcome than I expected, it (including the epilogue) wrap this series up in a neat little bow without any leaving the listener to wonder about any of the characters. I appreciate a definitive end to a trilogy, a book or a series.

I have read some reviewers who did not like the main characters, to them I ask, "Why did you even bother with book number three?" The characters evolve from innocence – for the lack of a better word – in book one. Their true colors are revealed by the end of book two.

Several complain about the relationships styles, calling the male partner (I'm not telling you who that is) as dominant and Olivia as submissive. There are other, rather obvious, facts that are brought to light rather early in the series. If you don't like the style of book, don't purchase it, the huge genre of erotic/contemporary romance runs the gamut.
The summary provides an accurate description of the book, read it.

The performance by Andi Ardnt is perfection. I do not know how she can make her voice soft, breathy and feminine and with the same set of pipes sound husky as needed for the male characters. She is a talented voice actor.

Jessica Hawkins grabbed my attention with book number one. As soon as I finished it I settled in for the long wait for book number two – which my friend pointed out about a week later was already out! I was fortunate to have some inside info relating to the date that the third book would drop and was very happy that from start to finish there was only about a one month waiting period. Perfect!

Notes: Mature themes and situations, strong language and definitely for the 18-year-old plus listener. Stars overall 5, performance 4, story 3.5–4.

*I did this receive this in exchange for my review but have no reservations about recommending it to those who like a spicy, edgy, romantic trilogy that is deeper than much of the flow that passes for romance these days.


Thanks for checking out my review~

Yes and I do! I listen to the whole series regularly. Something about it is so intriguing and flawed and sexy and utterly perfect - words can't describe it.

Jessica Hawkin's brilliant mind and ability to weave a story so flawlessly!

Which scene was your favorite?

ALL of it!

Following your heart isn't always the easiest thing to do.

Any additional comments?

Read everything ever written by Jessica Hawkins - you'll forever love her. She's brilliant.

Amazing

I loved loved loved. Great storyline with a happy ending. Unfortunately, some friendships are outgrown, the truth in others are brought to light by difficult times.

An Acceptable Conclusion

This is the conclusion to Olivia and David's story. The themes of this book are sensitive and deals with a person's morality, happiness, and self-wealth, for this realism I really enjoyed the book. I have seen these situations in real life so I can understand every decision made by all the characters. I can also understand why some may not enjoy this series.

This specific video review will be included in the April 2018 wrap-up.

Together Forever

David and Olivia are finally together! But not without having a world of obstacles to overcome. This love triangle has been one to follow! Olivia & David's love story is so raw and so relatable. And David on my gosh he is very woman's dream ! This story can happen to anyone it's life & it happens.

I can not say enough about the way Andi Arndt brings this book. All the voices she uses seem to bring this book/ series to life. She does an excellent alpha voice to top the narration off.
This is the second series I have listed to that Andi has narrated & I don't see how anyone can compare to her.

Jessica my gosh!!! I started reading your books not reading this series first. Man on man you were right when you told me you thought I'd enjoy this!!!! But there was never any doubt that in my mind I wouldn't, I just didn't realize how much I would love it. You never seem to disappoint. I've said it before you're an amazing author!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I believe there's only one book left of yours that I haven't read so guess it's next ☺☺
