Loren’s past relationship might not be as over as she thought. Spending time with Jordan to see if the feelings she once had were still there may have backfired.

If only she were the only one to have to decide. Nolan’s past, the first girl he ever loved, needs him now more than ever. Does he sacrifice his own happiness for such a vital part of his past or choose the selfish route for once in his life?
Nobody ever said you can only love one person, but the cold hard truth is you’ll always love one of them more.
Relationships will be tested. Decisions will be made. Hearts will be broken.

I was super excited to read this series and I'm so glad I got to. It's a quick read from start to finish since it's a serial, but well worth your time! Ashley Suzanne's writing flows beautifully....no hiccups, just very easy to read. I love that about her writing!! She has such talent and her imagination intrigues me.
However, before I get into my little discussion on this series, this part of her blurb is SO very true. Read it and heed it:
Nobody ever said you can only love one person, but the cold hard truth is you’ll always love one of them more.
~Now that the feelings I've been hiding from have found me, I honestly don't know what I would do.~
The first two books in this series had so much angsty tension building up that I was getting super excited; and we know how much I love angst!! There was lust and fire and depth and giddiness involved in the first two. I easily fell for Nolan and totally felt the chemistry between these two, but Jordan still had a piece of her heart. He owned that piece and was NOT about to give it up. They had history and a past that could not be forgotten. I love a good triangle....love it. So, here you have two men that are vowing to fight for Loren and the truth is, they both fought admirably hard.
~Karma would bitch slap me across the face with this, wouldn't she?~
Now, for the nitty gritty....I don't even know how to verbalize my thought process at the ending of this series. Verbal thought vomit: I don't even know how in the world I could rationalize my feelings on this and feel that the book had it's perfect HEA. It was NOT what I thought it would be and totally guessed off mark, but it was the most perfect ending for Loren and Nolan. I actually had to talk it out with Ashley personally, and she told me that it isn't HOW I feel....it's WHAT I feel. Perfect pep talk...ha!!
~With my head and heart at war, I have to find a way to finally decide. Finally give myself peace of mind.~
This series was pure seductive, angsty sexiness. I really enjoyed reading it, and the wait from book one to book three really wasn't that long of a wait. Having said that, I also PINED over what was going to happen in book three and I was totally on ONE team the ENTIRE time I was reading this series. But, lucky YOU, they are all out now. Grab them and enjoy!!
Nolan is sexy.
Jordan is determined.
Loren's heart is in trouble.
