Book buddies, this is one final book I was extremely excited to read and now I have!! I'm so, so happy. I absolutely recommend this trilogy by Lisa Renee Jones. She's a clever lady, this writer :-)
About The Careless Whisper Series:
-------- New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones returns with the third book in the sexy, suspenseful Careless Whispers series.
Passion burns fiercely hot between Ella Ferguson and Kayden Wilkens, the man who held secrets and lies in his hands, and then allowed them to fall into hers. But even though he has become her anchor–helping her recover from amnesia after finding her unconscious in an alley, and allowing her into his secret world–all is not what it seems.
Kayden still has secrets, and pieces of Ella’s past are still shrouded in the darkness of her mind, while the powerful man who hunts her will not stop until she is his. In this final, explosive novel in the Careless Whispers series, Ella discovers that while her life with Kayden didn’t begin in that dark alley…it could easily end there. ------------
MY OPINION
An amazing
finale.
What a
gripping three-novel story. The writing is laced with a sharp tension like a
tight rope over a gaping chasm.
The more
snippets of truth Ella remembers, the more dangerous everything and everyone
around her seem to get. The treasure-hunting organization The Underground
devotes all its powerful resources to finding the missing piece in Ella's past
and to defeating all the open fronts. War is in full throttle.
I loved that
atmosphere of finality, of big weapons being drawn in the dark and against
monsters. The scene of the meeting in the War Room was enormously rewarding.
Through a maze of clever plotting and foggy secrets, Ella and Kayden pull a
tug-of-war in their relationship. Trust and a future together are in the
balance, and their conversations as well as their physical intimacy were
breathtaking and sultry.
Ella is
indeed Lady Hawk, a badass tigress who's survived countless odds and violence,
and I'm in awe. The secrets, conspiracies and crimes are a veritable Gordian
Knot, and when it's cut in the novel's exhilarating end, it really bursts with
emotion and thrill. I loved this trilogy with its intense atmosphere, the smart
dialogues, the amnesia that covers up a singularly riveting plot, and the
wonderful characters. I'm going to miss all of it.

READ AN INTENSE EXCERPT
“Just
know this. I would never betray you. I would never hurt you. I would, as I have
said, and will say over and over, die for you.”
“As
I—”
“No,”
he says roughly, his voice gravelly, affected. “Do not say you would die for
me, because that is not what I want from you. Never do I want that from you.”
“I
know you don’t want that,” I say, my voice now gravelly as well, “but you see,
I feel what you feel. I can’t stand the idea of living instead of you, without
you.”
“I
don’t plan to let you.” His fingers flex around my hands. “Hold them right
here.” He waits for my reply and I give a tiny nod, before he reaches beside me
and produces a roll of masking tape, already tearing a long piece.
“What
are you doing?” I ask again, my heart now skipping and
racing, but by the time I start to pull my hands back, he’s already holding
them.
“Aside
from protecting your newly inked wrist by avoiding a tie that would be on top
of it,” he says as he attaches one side of the tape several inches up my arm,
“I’m proving a point.” He finishes wrapping my arm, then grabs the roll to pull
off another piece.
“What
point?”
He
wraps more tape around my arm. “You can’t get free,” he says, tossing the roll
over his shoulder. “I can do anything to you I want to do to you, and you can’t
stop me. You could fight, but I’m bigger and stronger. Does that scare you?”
“No,
it doesn’t scare me, but if I wanted to get free, I could fight. I’m good at
fighting.”
“Do you want to fight me, Ella?”
“No.
Of course not.”
“Because
you’re safe with me. I want you to stay safe with me. That is why we can’t go
to Paris. Not now. Not yet. I’m not trying to dominate you or control you. I
just want you to be alive to fight with me like you just were. To change my
mind. And for me to change yours, and in this case, I’m going to.” He folds my
hands behind my head, and orders me to keep them there while his hands slide to
my back, molding me to him, his breath a warm wash on my lips. “I can’t lose
you, Ella.”
“Kayden,”
I breathe out, emotion tightening my chest, so many emotions I cannot even
begin to name them. Things I’ve felt in the past and present, things I know and
do not know, colliding and erupting inside me. I need him and I know he needs
me, and I have never felt such a thing with anyone, ever.
“Not
can’t,” he amends. “I won’t lose you. Do you understand?” He doesn’t give me
time to answer, or to let my fears that I will become his weakness take shape.
Already he is kissing me, deeply, fiercely, kissing me and lifting me as he
does. And even this, the way he holds me and I cannot hold him, not with my
hands behind my head and my forearms taped. So I just savor the taste of him,
of us together, and all we are here and now.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones is the author of the highly acclaimed INSIDE OUT series, which is now in development for a television show to be produced by Suzanne Todd of Team Todd (Alice in Wonderland). Suzanne Todd on the INSIDE OUT series: Lisa has created a beautiful, complicated, and sensual world that is filled with intrigue and suspense. Sara’s character is strong, flawed, complex, and sexy - a modern girl we all can identify with.
