Such a good story!
 When I started reading this book I immediately realized I had already read the first book in this series. This book can totally be read as a stand alone. This continuation of Natalie and Lucas's story, I think it is one of the best I've read in a while. Both Natalie and Lucas have to learn the art of communication, dealing with emotions, and over coming obstacles of change.
I give this story 5 out of 5 stars for the unique and unexpected twists, the overcoming spirits that the characters display, and the great story line.
I love Beth Wiseman's stories and this one did not disappoint, just leaves you wanting more.
I volunteered to read this book from Zondervan Fiction in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

plot twist I did not see coming!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is book 3 in the Basic Instincts series but you don't need to have read the other two books for this to make sense. I've only read book 2, and I loved that book.

And I loved this one too, bar for one thing and I'll come back to that in a mo.

Again, I'd like to commend Collins on a blinder of a twist I did not see coming! I had my doubts, when they were saying who might have been behind it all, but my idea was way, WAY off base and I loved being thrown for a loop!

I really, really do not want to see that film Hudson was in! Sounds gory and violent and not really my thing.

The book is dark and deadly and some of it is on page, but I do think that it is necessary to get the point across.

Some emotional moments, some steamy, but the focus is on the play and the chaos that comes with it.

That thing? But for one solitary chapter, only Hudson has a say. Luke has a chapter and that is the only reason I cannot give this 5 stars! I think if he had no say at all, I might have been tipped over to 5 stars, though! Weird, I know but ya'll know my book feelings!

so, a very VERY good

4 stars
