Let me start with this. If you have not read book one and two...... STOP!Read them now... I'll wait!Still waiting.. Finished yet? I know once you start you will not be able to put them down.  All right I am going to trust youBook three picks up right where book two left us..If everything you've known has stemmed from lies and deceit. Can you ever have anything that is "real"?"You are my home Norah. It doesn't matter where we are in this world; when I'm with you, it's the past, it's the future, it's just this calm and passionate feeling of perfection that rises in my heart every time you are near. And you may hate me forever and never forgive me for doing this, but know I will never stop fighting for you, I will never stop searching for your soul and I will never stop believing in our love"Norah feels she has found her happy place. She has followed her heart and found love. Right? Is it possible to build a life while you created it upon a bed of lies? Josh has finally gotten what he wanted. Everything will work out. Right?I love Josh. I love him for all his flaws and bad choices. He is one of my favorite characters. I feel that his love for Norah is true. It's a lifetime love. It was built years ago and stems from friendship. He is such an interesting character. I dare you not to become infatuated with him. I have caught myself sitting and wondering how Josh ticks, what drives him. I am completely captivated by this man and how he goes about his life.Will this love ever be fulfilled? Is it possible? Only time will tell!(I'm NOT telling, lips are sealed)"You say she's mine.... but honestly, I don't think she was ever mine to begin with."Clint cannot let her go, his love for Norah lit a fire that will never burn out. I think he needs her like he needs air.  It's passionate and it's the only love he wants. He will always love her, with his soul.  He is still suffering the drama and events from book two. Again, I have to say I adore Clint too. Clint has made me want to dive into my kindle and wrap my hands around his neck. He infuriates me and then makes my heart flutter.Let's not forget about Samuel. His part in all of this comes to light and I was able to view him totally different. (I was not a huge fan in book one and two, lol) but I have not one valid reason for this by the way! I am guessing you can tell already my obsession with this series - not rational!This is the beauty and torture! You as the reader are torn. You see all sides of this story with Ms. Richardson's amazing writing. (This has led to a few emails that I am sure she has question my sanity! Sorry!)I adored the alternate POV's. I wanted to be inside their heads. Each key player got a turn. Each chapter pulls you in more. I could NOT put the book down.The Lappell, the Mob ... Where else can you get mystery, intrigue and steam that makes the pages singe your fingers while holding your book.I think every woman on the planet would want to be loved the way Norah is loved.  It is intense and passionate and raw. It makes your toes curl and your insides melt. It sets your skin ablaze... amazing! I honestly think at times the lights flickered in my house - power over load from the sexual chemistry and angst dripping from the pages.This book is the perfect conclusion to this fabulous series. Every rock that has been upturned, twist you have encountered. All comes full circle. You get answers to questions you did not even know you had. It's simply amazing. Brilliant. I am going to miss them! I could go on and on.I cannot wait for what Ms. Richardson gives us next. Bravo! In case you missed my hints.. READ THIS SERIES.
