Blood & Roses Series Book Three

Excellent copy! Thank you!

I love the action... the strong characters.... great story

TWISTED God I love this series, there's no preamble and right from the first page we're once again thrust into the storyline with a bang, literally!!!! Callie continues to feed my Zeth addiction and the series is going from strength to strength. I never want it to end! This is gritty series and one which makes a violent lifestyle seem almost normal, especially when you see how easily Sloane has accepted her new life with Zeth who is as firmly attached to her and she is to him. Still on the run from Charlie and Julio, Zeth and Sloane together with Michael and Lacey are in hiding and wondering how they can ever be free again. With the DEA still looking for them and Rebel still demanding that Sloane go to him, Zeth and Sloane must decide how far they will let their relationship take them before one of them is killed. Zeth is still unclear about his feelings for Sloane but Sloane knows her heart and it's telling her she wants Zeth, whatever the end result. Zeth is still continuing to fight his demons though but by the end of this book we have more of an insight into his life as a child and why he has an obsession to protect vulnerable women from harm. Mystery still surrounds Zeth and Lacey's connection and whilst Lacey has accepted he is her brother, they are still unsure of their parents until news reaches them which is almost unbelievable and causes Lacey to become even more fragile. Pippa and Olly are still protective of Sloane and thinking she can trust them she turns to them for their help only for them to once again push her further into Zeth's arms and protection. There is violence, explosive and domineering sex, passion and heartbreak once again throughout this book and it is so deliciously enticing that I'm tempted to go back and read the series again from the start to feed my obsession. I love how Zeth is becoming more and more human, story by story, and it's heartwarming to see Sloane reach out and anchor his heart. ***Angry Girls rule*** ***************************************************** COLLATERAL I first saw this series through another blogger's TBR and knowing her reputation for finding great books and great authors I thought what the hell, I'll give it a shot. Little did I know that I would become obsessed with the Blood & Roses series and its extremely talented author. It's not often that these days we find a series which is so memorable because let's face it, we're all reading so much now thanks to the indie author community and ereaders that it's easy to move on from book to book without looking back. That is certainly not the case with Blood & Roses though and I know I'm going to read this series more than once to enjoy Zeth uninterrupted. We were hit hard with the first instalment. Zeth the heartless monster, Zeth the sex fiend, Zeth the killer but book by book, Zeth has given up his secrets to us readers until we get to see the real man, his heart, his passion and his love for his angry bird; Sloane. This is a story of beauty and the beast and in true romance style, the beauty slays the beast with her tenderness and a determination to win over this beautifully broken man. Together with Michael, Zeth’s loyal friend and his sister, Lacey, the group continue to struggle to find a way to overcome the nightmare that is Charlie Holsan. After Charlie spins lies to Lacey to win her trust, Zeth and Sloane must find a way to rescue her from his clutches before it’s too late. As ever, the group try to move secretively in order to avoid the ever watchful eyes of DEA Agent, Denise Lowell, who is still trying to bring Zeth to justice along with Sloane’s brother-in-law, Rebel. Now working together; Rebel, Zeth, Sloan and Michael hatch a plan to get Lowell off their backs once and for all but things don’t go to plan and the group have to think of another way to ensure their freedom. Zeth is starting to accept that Sloane’s love for him is genuine and he knows he already can’t live without her but is he willing to open his heart to this woman and to trust himself to be in her arms, especially at night? For me the turning point in their relationship was when Zeth and Sloane kissed on the mouth and after all the angst, emotional turmoil and raw passion of their relationship, we found ourselves breaking for this damaged man as he trusts Sloane to fight through his penultimate emotional defence. I read this book willing there to be a HEA especially after all of the heartbreak faced by this group of friends throughout the series so far and whilst I loved the ending it wasn’t read without tears and sadness. Zeth’s fragility is raw and his emotions are tangible and the chapters where a simply a few words were expressed extracted more emotion from me as a reader than the in-depth analysis of the story line. As ever, the sex in this book is breathtakingly brutal and violent but the pain continues to be welcomed and wanted by Sloane. This series isn’t for the squeamish but it is one full of suspense, intrigue, violence, sex, and most importantly LOVE.

The last two books in this series will leave you reeling! If you haven't started this series yet, what are you waiting for!

have not read the book yet but like the cover I am looking forward to reading the books
