Convicted

I didn't think this series could've gotten any better than the first two books...but it just kept building to a thunderous crescendo. I realize we individuals come in all shapes, sizes and “uniqueness”...however for the life of me I cannot fathom anyone giving this third and final installment of the CONSEQUENCES TRILOGY anything less than 5✮'s. In a word, it's brutally phenomenal! Never have I been so captivated with a series since Fifty Shades of Grey...and even though this story is absolutely nothing like FSOG, it's still a non-interrupted, glued to your seat page turner.

He's very tall, very dark with his black hair and penetrating black/brown eyes, and very handsome....and he's deadly. He's power personified. He's severely aggressive, controlling, condescending and demanding. He can be a charming and polite gentleman when he wants to. ...he doesn't want to. Not usually anyway. He's abrasive, abusive and brutal. He's a total dominant authority in all things. He's mesmerizing, callous and commanding. He is Anthony Rawlings...and with Claire, well...he's possessive and obsessed with her. And... he's changing...Claire has become his “saving grace” and no one is more surprised than Anthony..aka: Tony, aka: Anton. She has become his absolute reason for living. He's now (in this third book)...oh so gradually...turned from a tormented & damaged empty soul whose only outlet was rage and cruelty, to an all consuming, passionate man in love with his wife. He adores her and claims her with pride. In this third installment, Tony begins to heal.

Twenty-eight year old Claire Nichols is not only smart, she's quite intelligent, cunning and she's drop dead gorgeous with her chestnut hair and deep emerald green eyes. She's strong, determined and resilient. She's brave. And above all else, she's a survivor. Initially, in book #1- The Consequences Series..... Claire is kidnapped and isolated...she must follow the rules or suffer the consequences....the repercussions. But not only does she survive...she thrives! Book #2 Truth shows us, though conflicted with her emotions.. just how strong she actually is...This third installment Convicted ...hashes out all the secrets & scandal...the rewards are worth the journey.

I loved this third installment of this trilogy...I loved how this Author gives us (the reader) a brief historical synopsis of each supporting/main character & how they all play into this fabulous plot. Genius! Doing so makes the reader even more emotionally invested. It keeps us apprised of what's happening behind the scenes as well as what leads up to the scene we're reading.

This is a story of Claires' continual fight for survival while trying to unite with Tony. It's the story a man having so much power that you control all things....ALL THINGS.....but with one person, you discover you control nothing. Tony has come full circle from the night he signed a contract on a paper napkin in a pub with Claire...a contract that gave him ownership of another person - - but what he actually acquired was her soul. And after limitless, painful, contractual disputes and labor issues...in the end...Claire's soul found residence in Tony.

This story is an amazing, long and painful journey of the power healing and renewal...but the final destination was worth it all in the end.
