Adventure and Romance

This story moved at a good pace and the characters were lively. I liked there thawed was a good balance of thoughts and conversation. The narrator was good, but sometimes it was hard to distinguish between the characters.

Emotional, complex

The story dealt with very difficult psychological issues with care and truth. One was kept guessing until the end about the conclusion. The end was tidy without being trite.

if you're a crybaby don't...

I have a love/hate relationship with this series... I loved every bit of it! But seriously hate how much I cried and cried AND cried... cried tears of sadness of helplessness but also tears of joy of triumph ... I laughed, got mad, every emotion ... made me a big crybaby(in a good way)

Strong Characters, lovable story line

I have enjoyed this series. Even though the stories cut short at the ending, All three books have tugged at my emotions and instead of being a book based on internal dialog “vulnerability” like so many historical romance novels these are books of action and consequence.
I HIGHLY recommend reading the books in order because the characters overlap in all three books.

Liam’s vulnerability feels genuine and it’s refreshing to have a male lead role discovering a woman’s pleasure vs. having all the answers.
Evelyn’s PTSD is carefully crafted and relatable, linked with her courage and peril to be accepted, her story is encouraging but real.

Hoping to see a story about Kinna eventually, I would love to see the series continue and grow. Great read!

Another wonderful story

I love the relationships that she builds. The author brings a blend of romance with passion and always a twist in a return.

Great Read

This entire series is a delight!! I love all the characters!! So happy with all the endings!!

I loved the whole series, looking forward to more!

totally awesome series very captivating, it made them all fit together perfectly.Hard to put away

Slow burn

This was perhaps my favorite of the trilogy. but they are all so good. great stories, characters and twists for HEAs

Excellent story and series

I have read hundreds of books but these titles from Allison B Hanson are wonderful. I laughed, I cried, I howled. Seldom have I enjoyed a series of this kind. The books are full of adventure, mystery, and suspense but also filled with humor my favorite. Please keep up the good work

Happy Endings

Hated Eve’s choices and actions through the first half of the book so much I wanted to stop listening. I get that she had a lot of trauma but she treated Liam so poorly I wanted to smack her myself many times. I was so irritated with her behavior, I found myself not caring at all about HEA for her. Eventually she stopped being ridiculous, so I stopped hating her and was happy that Liam finally got the ending he deserved.
