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. ( )

Happy for the conclusion but not the ending I envisioned. ( )

4.5 stars!
Truth left us with our jaws hanging open and wondering. Wondering WTH! Well, Convicted kind of starts out that way. You are left a little confused for a short while in the beginning.
Then things start to kick in. Things start to click in place. You are wanting Claire and Tony together... But unsure if the way things are around them if that will happen! You are left asking yourself for a quite a while, why can't they just get everyone out of their way and just get things the way they should?
Claire has to protect hers. Tony needs to protect what is his. The turmoil that surrounds their circumstances makes it seem almost impossible. All the while, the ones who have pulled things apart and torn their relationship to shreds needs to be brought to justice.
Just when you thought all of the secrets have been laid before you... there are more! The secrets go deeper than we could have thought. Things are going to get hairy before they have a small chance of working themselves out...
Trust is one thing that none of the characters have much of. The lines of what really is going on are so blurred, I almost thought that those involved would never see through the smoke!
I am not a spoiler... hence my cryptic review. It is hard to write about this book without giving too much away! I have read reviews that I would not have wanted to read before I read the book. I never want to know more than the bare necessities of a story before I read it. So that is what I am giving you. Trust me, this is a must read. It is the grand finale to the series, and it goes out with a bang or two! ( )

OMG I didn't think I would ever finish this book. I read extremely fast, a fairly large book a day is very easy for me. I started this when it came out and just finished this morning! I had to stop constantly to settle my mind and heart. I have never skipped to the end of a book, but this one had me so torn that I almost had to do it. I didn't skip ahead, but did feel like I might just kill over any minute. I was dying for nerve meds, but didn't do that either. Somehow I made it though. 















I have to say that this series will remain a favorite of mine. I will never forget it. Sometimes I love a book, but in a few months I can't remember that much about it. I know I will never have that problem with this series. No other books compare to this series, definitely in a class of it's own. I also wanted to note that I loved how everything was done realistically and fully explained- medical occurrences, legal proceedings, psychological ramifications, the non-perfection, the acceptance, the pros and cons, the ups and downs, the good and the bad, the lengths of everything, the fallback of everything, the workings out of everything... I need a cigarette now that it's over-And I don't even smoke! This is truly a book hangover like no other! Shew, just happy we made it out the other side. And "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades"  Thank you Aleatha Romig
