Love Me (WITSEC Book 3)
R**N
That cliffhanger!
I am a bit speechless right now. I just finished this book and I am like WTH?! Ashley, you just shook me to my core lol. If you read the other two books then you know this one starts right where book two left off. If you were frustrated about the lack of answers or action in the last book, then you will love book 3. I feel like we learned so much more about the Stone brothers and Shiloh. I was worried she would be falling apart through this book as she had the last, but she really did prove she is strong and resilient even with all the crazy sh*t that was happening to her. There is a lot of talk about healing and living through trauma. One thing I have to say is I really lost a to of respect for Logan... I didn't think he could stoop any lower... but he did. I'll leave it at that.Some things I really loved about this book:-The spice was hot and heavy (definite 5/5 for spice)-Shiloh came into her own-Heart-pounding action from start to finish-Nail-biting suspense-How mental health was handled and talked about in the book-How the brothers supported and protected ShiThe only thing that kind of bothered me (totally just my opinion. I did give 5-stars lol so I obviously loved the book) was I felt like Shiloh went from one addiction to the next. In the first book it was running, in the second book booze and self-destruction, and in this book, I felt like she used s*x as a way to numb the pain. Before you come after me, I do think she loved the guys and that they connected as well through intimate moments. I will be the first to read a book just for the spice lol but I think with how much was going on I would have loved to see more about the situations at hand (can't say what because it's a spoiler). Don't get me wrong, those spicy scenes... *fans self* wow.. lol. Bravo Ashley bravo!If you read the last two books and loved them, you will love this book. It's action-packed, full of suspense, and there is LOTS of spice lol.

Loved every minute but that cliffhanger, ouch!
The first book was about Shiloh and her life, with all it’s hurdles. The second book was more focused on her relationship with the Stone brothers. This one is a perfect balance of the previous two and gave me exactly what I wanted. The cliffhanger is resolved immediately, so that was a relief, but this book will make your heart race with all the suspense. Shiloh’s life is getting hectic and she’s feeling off kilter. Her gut is telling her that something is wrong, but she doesn’t want to overreact. The school bullies, the corrupt sheriff and creepy Jacob are constant threats, so she rationalizes the feeling away.Logan is still trying to get her to relocate, but even Ian agrees it’s not necessary. She worries that Mr. X will find her and take out the guys to get to her, but they already have plans. Whether they need to fight or run, they’re not going to back down from Mr. X or anyone else. While fraught with scares, there are lots of sweet moments, too. We get insight into her relationships with each of the guys individually, but the group dynamic is always at play. And while I don’t want to spoil any twists, I think it’s safe to say that Knox finally – FINALLY – gets with the program, albeit in his own stubborn way.The wait for this book was torturous and I fear the wait for the conclusion will be even worse. This cliffhanger is the most brutal of all and left me literally yelling at a book, which I swear is not a thing for me. Most of the time. This is a series I will re-read before the next release. There are so many little things that didn’t seem important but look different in hindsight. I want to experience it again with that knowledge. I absolutely love these characters and this series and always want more. Everything about it is perfect: the writing, the action, the pacing. I would give these books ten stars out of five if I could. It’s nearly impossible to give a decent review without spoiling the story but I think my enthusiasm speaks volumes.

Heart Racing Goodness!
Love Me is book three of the WITSEC series and does end on a cliffhanger! I honestly don’t even know how to process what I’ve read. This book had me on the edge of my seat from the first dang chapter! I would categorize this as more of a romantic thriller! It had my heart racing so many time! And that cliffhanger had me screaming “no, no, no” at my kindle!This book started where book two left off. I’m so glad Shi has the Stone brothers on her side! Even though she is strong and a baddy, she has things coming at her from all directions! I don’t know if she could hold herself together without the guys beside her. Even though this book is plot heavy we get more looks into Shiloh and the guys relationships. I was ready to knock Knox upside the head a couple of times but I still love him!This book has angst, heartache, suspense, drama, betrayal, friendship, and spice. It will keep you glued to your kindle and ignoring everything else in your life! Your heart will race (for multiple reasons) and you will yell at certain characters! Check the trigger warnings before reading!

Perfection!
This series is beyond perfect actually. There’s suspense, romance, multiple villains, multiple love interests, found family and a smart young girl with a horrific past. Shiloh lived and lives with trauma that no one should ever have to live through.. she has built a family of her own now between the Stone brothers, Ethan and Isabelle. All three books so far have been excellent. I’ve enjoyed all characters in this book. Good and evil. There is a good amount of smexy times given this is RH series. The character and world building are also excellent.That cliffie was/is nerve racking! Gosh I can not wait until book 4! I was a bit disappointed to learn this was not the final book, but I can’t get enough of this series and don’t want it to end at the same time. The author writes fluidly, cohesively and incredibly well! Excellent story! Can NOT say it enough!Please don’t make us wait so long for book 4!!! Then write another series quickly after when done with this one toooooooo! Fan for life of this authors works.Enjoy!

Cliffhanger Alert!
This is the third book in a continuing series. You need to read the first two books to understand this one and it does end on a cliffhanger.Logan is determined to take Shiloh away from the Stone Brothers because she thinks they are a risk to her safety. Shiloh doesn’t want to leave them because she knows that Logan will leave her as soon as he takes her somewhere new and she’ll be all alone again and this time without the men she cares deeply for. Logan seems to have trouble hearing the word ‘no’ from Shiloh, in fact he seems to find it difficult to listen to anyone through his grief, fear and need for revenge.This book is a whirlwind of slowly climbing tension, ratcheting up incrementally chapter by chapter, subtly and deftly woven through the love story. It’s very clever writing as the main focus is on Shi and the brothers and their relationship and also Shi’s problems with her bullies, but at the same time there are undercurrents that unsettle Shi and that nervousness commutes over to the reader.There is a lot of darkness in this series, as you would expect from the survivor of an attack that killed her mother, father and twin sister. Shiloh suffers from PTSD and during the course of this book she actually starts to get a handle on it after suffering so badly through the earlier part of the series, because she puts the work in with her therapist. One thing I loved about this book was Shi initially acts in her old patterns but then yanks herself back and realises what she is doing and tries to alter her behaviour. She works really hard to improve the way she handles her experiences and is trying to lean on other people more often. It’s a very real and believable aspect of her character as she transitions from the uncontrolled panic alternating with iron control of her hanging on for dear life afraid to fall apart, to a new and more healthy way of dealing with life and her trauma.As well as the emotional healing Shi does during the course of this book, much of which happens off the page, there is also her growing as a woman and claiming her sexuality as she learns to communicate her desires and needs to her boyfriends. There are quite a lot of explicit and spicy scenes in this book but they don’t feel gratuitous and are part of the storyline.This book ends on a shocker of a cliffhanger, so if you pathologically hate those kinds of endings you may want to wait for the last book to come out. However, if you are like me and quite enjoy re-reading a series before the last book is published I don’t think you will regret reading this book after you stop screaming “WHY?????” at the author from inside your head. This was such a gripping and entertaining read that I can’t regret reading this book at all, despite the cliffhanger!

Every chapter leaves you wanting more
When the first book to this series, Save Me, released last year I honestly could not get over how amazing this series was. I loved everything about it, the twins in the relationship, the WITSEC storyline, Shiloh as a character, the whole book was *chefs kiss*. Book two was full of spice bringing the relationships with the guys closer and developing the characters. Then fast forward to this book, number three of four, and we have the best combination of spice, mystery of Mr X and then seeing Shilohs relationships with the Stone brothers become more secure along with her friendships, but her relationship with Logan crumbling. Every chapter leaves you wanting more and the ending? Oh yeah, that definitely has you wanting to know what the hell is going to happen next. If you want something a little different from the usual, I recommend this one. I cannot wait to get more from Knox, I want to see Shiloh get her life back and see Mr X burn. I guess I’ll be waiting patiently for 2023 to come.

A little disappointing
I love the first two books in this series but this one fell flat for me. Firstly way too much was taken up with heat which didn't add to get plot. Secondly the action parts felt very rushed and glossed over. In fact the whole thing felt rushed and it's very obvious this book was originally supposed to be one book but has for some reason been cut into two. I do hope that means book 4 will be out quickly, because if not it just shows pure laziness and a complete lack of respect from the author for her readers!

Nooooooo😵💫
Well I've been waiting a long time for this book and was not disappointed at all.Friggin cliffhanger man, I really really was thinking that we would get the name of X (Logan) I'm telling you, I feel it in my blood. I have always thought it was him since book 1You need to go to the first book if your new to this series because it will make no sense if you don't.We have 1 more book to come so if you hate cliffhangers I suggest you wait till the last book is released then binge read. Depending on the time frame between books I will re read from the start.I love the characters and the depth the author goes into.This book is slow in parts but I still totally enjoyed it.I loved how thrilling this one is, you never know if and when X is going to show up.There are some really tough issues within this story so please check trigger warnings.10/10 Really enjoyed it but need to know when the last book is out????

Full of suspense
I’ve been waiting for this book excitedly as this WITSEC series is just that good. I really feel for Shiloh who is just desperately trying to be a teenager and live her life. She is lucky to have the brothers next door to help her as her uncle Logan is too consumed by his desire for revenge on Mr X to be there for her. Shiloh is so brave, prepared to stand up for herself despite all the obstacles in her path and the fear of discovery.The suspense in this book had me on edge, I really couldn’t put it down, this is so well written. That cliffhanger ending tho, I am desperate to find out if everyone’s okay, definitely can’t wait to see what happens next, this is the best book so far, what a cracking series.
