Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliot didn’t let you sit for one moment and ponder what was going on or where The Boss was leading in the final installment. They kept the story moving, kept you guessing, and surprised you around every turn. It was mysterious, fun and extremely sexy. ~ Kitty, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
This is the FINAL book in the six part serial. This book is from BOTH Grace and Blake’s points-of-view and will be more than twice the size of the other serial installments.
She doesn’t know how bad I’m willing to be…
For years, Grace Copeland was the one woman I couldn’t have. Now she’s mine.
Mine to possess. Mine to protect.
Mine to kill for.
He doesn’t realize how far from good I’ve come…
Blake Carson was first my nemesis, then my boss, and now my lover. He’s determined to shield me from the threat that surrounds us, closer than we could ever guess.
But I’m no one’s damsel, and I might be going down…but I won’t go down alone.
This time, when we fight, we’ll fight back to back—or not at all. No matter the consequences.
Win, lose, love, death. Whatever it takes.
Review copy provided for an honest review
Was I surprised with the ending to “The Boss”? Yes and no. I was hoping that Blake would 
become a man and figure out what he has to do to keep Grace and that Grace would face her real feelings for Blake. I got a little bit of both.
We finally find out Blakes past and it really does blow up in his face. But, in typical Blake way, he finds his way out of the messes. He even tries his damnest to be romantic but the lies just keep getting in the way. He finally has to man-up, face the music and admit the truth to Grace. He has no idea how she will take the full story or if she’ll even want to be around him, never mind love him. Yes, he finally admits that he loves her, at least to himself.
As for Grace … she grew a spine and refused to let Blake really walk all over her. Well, unless it was in the bedroom. Then again, she started taking what she wanted, when she wanted it as well. She had a lot to face as the truth about Blake, Annabel and Philomena finally come out. How she dealt with the truth was going to be the telling sign as to the rest of her life.
We are surprised with who is trying to kill her and why. We learn about the secret room. We learn about just how devious and controlling her grandmother was. We go on a helicopter ride and have a beautiful Italian meal that ends in disaster. We fall in love with Blake, finally, and cheer him on as the truth about him is revealed. And, we cheer Grace on as she becomes a strong, independent woman standing up for what she believes in and holding her own against Blake.
As for how this ended … my heart melted and I just knew that Blake and Grace, after all the lies, the half-truths, the death threats, would be fine. And, in typical Blake fashion, it was over the top!
I love the writing of Cari and Taryn. They didn’t let you sit for one moment and ponder what was going on or where it was leading. They kept the story moving, kept you guessing, and surprised you around every turn. It was mysterious, fun and extremely sexy and I am so looking forward to Jack’s story. They made it clear that there is way more to him than we got to see.
Thanks Kitty for the review
I have been collecting these waiting for the last one before I read the story. Sounds like it was worth the wait. Thank you. I need to go read now. 😀
Pansy, you won’t be disappointed. Kitty
