I hate him…

I hate that I fell in love with him, hate that he didn’t love me back, and I hate the fact that I just made a life-altering decision just so I could get the hell away from him.

He’d always said that he was unchangeable, heartless, and cold…

I really should’ve believed him…

Final book in the Reasonable Doubt series…

Amazon / Barnes & Noble

    

Everything we had was built on lies…

I was a little worried about jumping into this book immediately after finishing the second since I just didn’t get the excitement from the second book that I did for the first. I was scared that this would follow an unfortunate formula that some serials have had for me lately and fizzle out at the end. But after finishing it? It blew the first 2 books out of the water. OH MY GOD. I devoured this in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. What an amazing conclusion to a great serial. Whitney, I will never doubt you again. Seriously. I bow down. Wow.

What this book had:
1. An asshole Andrew that fucked up with Aubrey in epic proportions.
2. An Aubrey that finally grows into her own, grows a pair of lady balls and makes Andrew WORK for it. And I mean WORK for it.
3. A grovel of epic proportions. And I ate it up like the starved little pervert that I am and loved every second of it. Perfection.
4. An even better epilogue that was the icing on an already perfect cake.

Now then, on to the review. But if you haven’t read the first 2 books
STOP reading my review. It will not contain spoilers for this book, but it will definitely have some from the previous 2.

It all started with an email.

You and I will still be friends a few months from now, and you’ll be completely okay with not seeing my face.
Watch.

You and I will be fucking a few months from now, and the only reason I’ll be okay with not seeing your face is because you’ll be riding my cock as I bend your ass over a table.
Watch.

Andrew has kicked Aubrey not only out of his apartment, but also out of his life. After his past quite literary comes back to dig up long buried secrets and wounds, he feels like he has no choice. He tries to move on with his life and tries to continue with his one dinner, one night, no repeats motto. But every time he tries to replace the image of Aubrey with another woman, there’s always something that holds him back. It really doesn’t help that Aubrey is now completely freezing him out and wants nothing to do with him inside the office or out of it. So he does what he does best; push. Until one night he pushes too far and she’s done.

What do you want me to say, Aubrey? Your pussy was so magical that it opened my eyes and made me want to change all my ways for you? That I can’t live or breathe without knowing you’re by my side? Is that what you’re expecting me to say?
“No. A simple apology for-“
“Kicking your inquisitive ass out of my apartment? For trying to prevent you from feeling like do you right now? Fine. I’m sorry I didn’t do it sooner.”

Aubrey is tired of the scraps she’s been getting from Andrew. She doesn’t just want his cock, she wants his heart, but he has no interest in ever handing that over.

But when Andrew finally starts to understand the depth of his feelings for Aubrey, it’s too late. She’s moved on, moved to a different city, and wants nothing to do with Andrew ever again. What follows in the second half is a grovel that will make you smile and pant at the same time. It was, in a word, perfect.

As for the secret that Andrew’s been keeping and the mystery behind his past? Well it all gets revealed little by little and chapter by chapter. And when you finally get the whole story, your heart will absolutely break for him. All I can tell you is that Whitney manages to bring the story a full circle and not the slightest detail from the previous 2 books goes unanswered.

The thing I loved the most is that the author stayed true to Andrew’s character. He never loses that edge of his asshole ways, even when he finally gives into his feelings for Aubrey. And of course there’s always his filthy mouth and the scorching hot sex. But while the sex was hot, it wasn’t at the center of the story like I felt the last 2 books had. This had a rounded story, more character development, and just more of everything. I loved it and I can’t wait to see what this talented author will have in store for us next.

A satisfying category romance from Entangled’s brand new Lovestruck imprint…

Two radio show hosts. One show. Who will come out on top?

In a moment of restlessness, Tate Grayson sold his multimillion-dollar company and spun his love of sports into a radio talk show. Life, and love, is too short to take seriously—a fact he enjoys rubbing in uptight radio host Noelle Butler’s face.

After the death of her parents, a tragedy she blamed on herself, Noelle vowed to live a controlled, focused life. Now a psychologist, she channels her need for connection into her radio show. But when the arrogant sportscaster next door tells listeners men shouldn’t get married, she’s all too happy to yank the silver spoon out of his overprivileged mouth.

Their heated on-air arguments are a hit, but when the station director forces them to do a joint show for two weeks, Tate and Noelle object. They can’t stand each other, despite the attraction sizzling beneath every interaction. But if they can’t pull the struggling radio station back from the brink, they’ll lose their jobs. Or worse, their hearts.

She had commitment written all over her. For him, relationships were all about temporary fun. Women looking for a ring need not apply.

What happens when an uppity psychologist that gives love advice on the radio comes head to head with a structure hating sports talk show host? This book.

Noelle Butler and Tate Grayson couldn’t be more different. Noelle is a radio host for a love advice show. She lives her life in a neat and structured order, dreams of a love that her parents had, and gives love advice to the masses on her show. Her view on relationships? They need to have the 3 C’s

Cool, commitment, and communication. Are you cool with each other? Are you committed to each other and making the relationship work? Finally, are you respectfully communicating with each other about your feelings?

All is right with her world until Tate “The Great” Grayson, the sports talk host at the same radio station as her and commitment-phobe decides to call into her show and offer his views…

“My three C’s are chill, cling-off, and change.
Chill. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you. Don’t let her fool you into thinking you can’t live without her because you can. Cling-off is kind of like bug repellent. Don’t let her cling. If you follow those two words, it makes change all the easier. When things get boring, bam, you’re off, your emotions unattached.”

They may butt heads when it comes to their views on relationships, but that doesn’t mean they’re not radio gold when they do it. So it’s only logical that their station director forces them to do a joint show for two weeks. A recipe for disaster or for the sparks between them to truly fly? Guess you’ll have to read to find out.

I enjoyed this book, but I can’t really tell you that I loved it. I think it was just a little too “sweet” for my personal tastes. It’s completely a case of it’s me not the book. This read like a really cute romantic comedy, but while I enjoyed it for the most part, I just didn’t fell that connection between Noelle and Tate. Their bickering was entertaining but felt more friendly than sexual for the most part…at least in the beginning. I’d definitely recommend this book for those readers that enjoy a sweet contemporary romance. Who knows, I am in the minority with my opinion, so you just may love it. The writing was great and I’ll happily read Jamie Wesley’s future books.
