Given To You is the 3rd and final installment in the Killer Next Door Series.  You must read Fallen For You and Taken By You before beginning this book.  The story picks up right where Taken By You ended with Roger surprising Kate outside of the spa disrupting her plans to rendezvous with Neil.Kate has to fight her instincts to flee and stay in Roger’s good graces in order to prevent anyone else from being harmed.  Roger made my skin crawl every time he touched Kate and made sexual overtures towards her.She is also startled to see that they are not alone. I felt for poor Jacob.  His twisted father had not only taken his mother from him but has no regard for his own son’s welfare.  I cringed when Roger drugged him just so he could be alone with Kate sooner.Neil wasted no time in hunting down Roger to save his beloved once he knew that she had been taken.  His background check of Roger proving helpful in determining where Roger may have taken Kate.While Kate is trying to stall Roger’s advances, we gain some insight into Roger’s childhood that has moulded him into the monster his is today.I was on the edge of my seat when time had run out and the time had come for Roger to finally have his way with Kate.  I felt my heart race praying that Neil would get to her in time.When Roger gets away and leaves his son to save himself, I was screaming at my kindle !Just when it seemed like good things were on the horizon for Neil and Kate, Roger resurfaces to complete his mission.  Kate at all costs.Carlie wraps the series leaving you with a sigh of relief and a smile on your heart.  The series was a roller coaster ride of angst and emotion.  I am happy to have seen Neil and Kate’s journey through to the end.I will be looking forward to the Companion novel, Beholden To You, which will explore the relationship of Mac and Natalie.
