Can this bad boy live happily ever after?

King is the bad boy who stole my heart. It’s his, and I don’t want it back. All I want is to put the past behind us, so we can build a life together in Chicago.

Then King’s brother turns up on our doorstep, threatening to pull King back into the gangster world he’s turned his back on. If his brother succeeds, it could destroy everything we’ve worked so hard for, and I’m not going down without a fight....

Will my demons destroy us or set us free?

I can’t ignore my past anymore. Not if I ever want a chance at redemption and a life with Rory. But it means bringing down my own brother and in the process becoming someone I vowed never to be again. Someone who Rory wouldn’t recognize.

But if I don’t? Neither of us may live to tell the story....

I was unsure when I started this series as it’s not my normal genre but I am SO glad I did. I could not get enough and was so sad when it was over. Rory snd King are the very definition of opposites attract and both have more baggage that any one person should. The narrator of this series makes you feel like you are sitting in the room with the characters making this a completely immersive experience. Aiden and Ali hit another one out of the park!!!

One of my favorite series

Rory and King finally get their HEA! This is the third in the series and definitely have to be read in order to get the full story. Rory and King have one final big hurdle to overcome to really be free and get their HEA, and that hurdle is King's brother. King is so protective of everyone and tries to handle everything on his own so as not to get anyone else hurt, but I'm glad he finally learns that getting support and help from those closest to you is the best way to overcome adversity. King and Rory are perfect together and get the perfect HEA for them! The narrator did a great job with the story and the characters. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audio book.

Great Series Ending

This is not a stand alone it's a continuing series featuring 1 main couple but has a great cast of characters. I reall loved how it progressed and the ending was perfect for the series. Jay does a good job giving life to these characters and it has a nice solid narration that made it a pleasant listen.

Good Finish

This is the 3rd book in the trilogy. I had to go back and listen to the first two to make sure I understood what was going on here. I’m happy to say Rory and King finally get their HEA. :) Rory and King have an issue with King’s brother that they must deal with to be together. King tries to handle everything on his own, but he learns he must seek help from others to be successful. This books ends with the much needed HEA that Rory and King deserve. The narrator made this story come to life. :D I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audio book.

End of Trilogy - Good ending :)

Let me just say that I went Gaga for the narrator, he’s voice is lovely and made the story much more enjoyable. As always Bates and Lyda did an amazing job on another addition to the series.

An lovely new addition
