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…
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.

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.
“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.
