I enjoyed the conclusion to this romantic suspense trilogy. I always enjoy Tijan writing style. I first found her as an indie author with the Fallen Crest series. She has continued to write indie and with a publisher for this series either way I enjoy her writing sytle with series ans standalones. This series didn't feel rushed, I like the story that was told and the emotion with the characters. And ofcourse the romantic suspense plot. This book wrapped up the series nicely

Tijan is my favorite author for a reason! This book was amazing! I love Bailey and Kash! Lots of action, secrets, and surprises. The chemistry between Bailey and Kash is off the charts too. One click worthy!

Mafia cartel is not my. Kemal genre of choice. Characters are in-depth, but lost as this was the 3rd in a series and I did not read the first two. Not a stand alone.

This book had me feeling like “meh” from start to finish.

The writing was just… average. Nothing special, nothing mind-blowing.

Bailey was alright, I guess. But Kash? Ughhhhh, he had the depth of a puddle. I was hoping for some growth, some surprises, but noooooooo 🤡

The plot had potential. There were moments of suspense and action, but they were few and far between. Instead, we got dragged through a messy storyline that felt like a jigsaw puzzle missing half the pieces. It was confusing af

Overall, it was boring and not bad but like bad, you know?

3.5 stars.

The conclusion to Kash and Baileys story was a bit of a hit and a miss for me. I enjoy this authors books, she’s been a must read for me for years, and i do love her writing. This whole series was a mix of highs and lows for me.

There were moments of sadness and action but also some lulls. After the events of book two Bailey is trying to pull herself together, and I wasn’t a huge fan of Kash. His character didn’t feel very deep for me throughout the series. As usual with Tijan her writing was easy to get into and The story itself was pretty good. This is dual pov which isn’t my preference and I did much prefer Baileys pov over Kash’s.

There were many highs and lows throughout but I do think she ended their story on a good note.

**Thank you to the publisher for the review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own. **

This was the finish that I wanted for this series. Tijan gave Kash and Bailey the ending they deserved.

There was drama, suspense, and emotions to have your heart squeeze. Together they made each other stronger, better, and whole. Their chemistry and connection is something special that no one could break apart not even each other.

Kash is a badass but he's not just lethal, he's incredibly smart and calculating. He should be cold but for those he loves, he's warmth and love. He'll stop at nothing for those he claims as his and he'll give them everything for their trust and love in return.
Bailey is obviously a genius but she's not just book smart she's got plenty of other smarts about her too. She loves with her whole self and it's a special way that she loves her brothers and sisters she never knew about. The way she loves her mother even though at times she was more parent. Then the way she loves Kash is a gift.

The whole series in my opinion was perfect. The ups and downs, the conflict, the drama, and the suspense. The relationships between all the members of the family and those they keep close. It was nice to see some redemption for some characters and the demise of others.

I can't recommend this series enough.

As always I can't wait for what Tijan brings out next.

Bailey is hurting and she's so lost in her grief that she's barely functioning. Kash watches over and protects her while they wait for her to come back to them, all the while planning how he will end his Grandfather once and for all.
'But if something was going on with Bailey, I did what I always did. I watched, and I loved, and I would try to keep her safe until I had to swoop in myself.'

As Bailey comes awake again she sets about to help Kash. Not only to get revenge for her mother but to keep Kash safe so she doesn't lose anyone else. He has become everything to her and a life without him would be no life at all.
'Thinking back to the girl I'd been when I first met him - she never stood a chance. It was like her job was to fall for Kash. It was written in the stars. It was inevitable.'

Kash begins to unravel his Grandfather's world taking him down piece by piece so when he's defenseless he can strike. There are a few surprises left in his Grandfather yet and as they come out of the woodwork each piece puts a chink in Kash's plans. But he's been preparing for this for his whole life. He's adaptable and he has no plans to let his Grandfather win this time.

He'll do everything in his power to keep his family safe, in particular Bailey. She has become his whole world and he will never let her go or lose her again.
'She smiled, and it was like the first time I ever saw her, I felt a kick to my chest. She was in there. She tunneled her way inside and she never left.'

Happy Reading.

I love this series and everything Tijan writes! If you love mystery, angst, and twists with a quirky heroine and a possessive alpha hero you should definitely read this series. The Revenge was an epic conclusion to an addicting series. Bailey and Kash are just perfect and I love watching everything they overcame and ended up stronger from it all in the end.

I was unable to review as I was not aware was book 3 in a series and I could not obtain book 1&2 before review would be due

Book 3 in The Insiders Trilogy ~ absolutely not a standalone. Definitely must read The Insiders and The Damaged first.

Featuring ~ dual 1st person POV, tech genius, billionaire, steamage

Bailey & Kash
We begin with how Bailey is dealing with the aftermath of the shocking cliffhanger from the last book ~ non spoiler alert, she's not taking it well.
Quinn's court proceedings from what she did in book 1 is going on with a few other separate story lines. It was action packed with a few shocking zingers that I was happy with.

Overall, a great conclusion to the trilogy with a nice progression epilogue. I enjoyed this one more than the first two.

I was lucky enough to have both an audio copy and a kindle copy. Both were fine.
Narration:
Emma Galvin & Joe Arden ~ 10 hours 17 minutes ~ I loved Joe, more than Emma, but overall both did a fine job.

Like the first two books in this trilogy this book keeps you on your toes. There are so many surprises. Things you never see coming. I loved the ending Kash and Bailey got!

Incredible conclusion to the trilogy!
I was hooked from book one, you always think you know what is going on but really you don’t.
Lash and Baileys journey gets tough and twisted but this author sure knows how to keep you interested in all the characters and their story.
Questions get answered, monsters get slayed and the journey comes to an end.

This one was really hard for me to get into. The first half seemed to drag for me but about 45% through I was hooked. There was so much to process with all the players and I found myself confused at times. All in all this series was good but not my favorite. I think there was a bit too many plot twists to follow that seemed to drag the story out longer then was needed. I also wish thar we got to see Bailey more in here actual element and happy, not because she was trying to help everyone out around her.

Bailey and Kashton couldn’t get a break. Actually stuff don’t happen until they go to the club to relax and just be. So, there is no rest for the weary. Nobody could be trusted, Calhoun is on a roll. By the way, there’s a pleasant surprise here. Awesome surprise. Makes my heart sing. Bailey was getting normal again. The love between her and Kash gets stronger everyday. Victoria and Quinn were no longer a threat. Peter is getting counseling to be a better dad and partner.

Of course there will be a last hurrah by the bad people. They almost succeeded, but, good will always triumph (at least in the books I read). This is one of my favorite 1-click authors. She never disappoints. The epilogues were a wowza. Fabulous

I was provided an ARC via Netgalley, however I opted to listen to the final version of the audiobook. As always all opinions are my own.

This book was published in September 2022 and is available in multiple formats via multiple retailers. This is the third and final book in The Insiders series. Unfortunately this didn't work for me. The Insiders was intense and suspenseful, The Damaged had some suspense towards the end, so I was hoping that this would end with a bang. This was lacking in the suspense and intensity I was looking for. This book was kind of all over the place, there is dialogue that is hard to follow and doesn't really make sense or add to the plot. Some of the actions of the characters after big traumatic events don't make sense, and in general I'm not a fan of how the author has the characters deal with emotions, grief, and trauma in this series. Despite all of the maneuvering and dangerous players, this was kind of slow paced and the big show down between Kash and Calhoun was not very action packed.

This book cannot be read as a standalone. This picks up where book 2 leaves off with Bailey completely shut down after events in book 2. She slowly comes out of her stupor and begins to reintegrate into her family and life. While she is grieving and basically suffering from PTSD, Kash is making moves against his grandfather. There are alot of other players involved to throw Kash and Bailey's plans off track, but it really just made the storyline messy in my opinion. I don't want to spoil anything, but I was hoping for more action and suspense. I was kind of bored despite the author throwing in some unexpected twists.

Overall, I'm glad to have finished the series..

The Revenge is an epic conclusion to this trilogy!!! Bailey and Kash are facing dangers and challenges that threaten to tear them apart. Bailey is reeling from a terrible loss and Kash is determined to take down the enemies that are closing in.
I love everything about this book!! It's edgy, spicy, and has shocking twists. I will always adore Kash and Bailey together and individually! Kash is dangerous, a badass, and completely swoon worthy. I love that he's always there for Bailey, and how sweet he is with her and her family. Once Bailey starts to get over her grief I love that she gets back to her badass self and is determined to help take down their enemies.
Let me say Team Batt is amazing and hilarious! I love Bailey and Mattt's relationship. They tend to come up with crazy, idiotic plans but that's part of why I love Team Batt. As always Cyclone and Seraphina are adorable and I love that they support Bailey. It's incredible how much the entire Francis family has grown since the first book.
If you haven't started this trilogy yet I highly recommend you do, all three books are amazing!! Thank you St. Martin's Press for the ARC!

I mean what can I say about this? This book was epic. I've really enjoyed this ride, feeling all the emotions and being the #1 cheerleader for Bailey and Kash. I was looking forward to this ending and devored this book in one sitting. I could not put this down and it's one of those 'I should probably call out sick' type of books.

I'm a huge fan of Tijan so I may be biased but I really enjoyed this series. It's one of my favorites now that it's complete. I'll probably re-read this series like I have with some of Tijan's single released books.

I also really loved the epilogues and glimpses down the road. It was so sweet!

Definitely a way to finish up the series. Tijan once again had produced an amazing book filled with a ton of love and twist. Look forward to the series.

It took me longer to get into this book than the first two, even thought it still had elements of the book I liked. This installment follows Bailey and Kash as they deal with the aftermath of the ending of book two. Bailey has shut herself off to the world and has to navigate that trauma while also dealing with Kash's evil grandfather. The twists in this book had me screaming, and I absolutely did not see that end coming. Overall, great ending to the series.

I usually really enjoy books by this author but this one just wasn’t doing it for it. It was a do not finish for me unfortunately.

I found the book a little slow to start but I guess that is understandable as Bailey is just trying to deal and is going through the motions of life without living. But once the book did get going it was thrilling! There were so many twists and turns and the book was so action packed I was hooked.
Honestly the revelations in this book were shocking and just when I thought it was going to go one way something else happened that changed the whole storyline!
We got to see a lot more Kash in this book. There were more chapters from his POV and his love for Bailey really shone through. You could feel the guilt he had for Chrissy's death and how he felt his mere presence would endanger Bailey but his love for her never wavered. The relationship between Bailey and Kash really grew and you could see them go through a hard time but come out stronger.
We got to see Bailey come into her own a little more and show her hacking skills to her full potential. It was also great to see her let go and act like a college student and enjoy the life she has. As always, I loved the parts with Baileys siblings and it was great to see Matthew take on even more of a big brother role and protect Bailey as much as he could.
I thought this was a really satisfying end to the series. There were definitely some shocking moments and I loved how thrilling the whole series has been. As with all of Tijan's books she writes such great side characters that I am always hoping some of them will get their own spin off and The Insiders trilogy is no exception. Whilst I am hoping there might be more I did really enjoy the ending to this series.
