WOW. Seriously, this book blew me out of the water. As we know, Bailey has been reeling from the loss of her mother in the previous book. We also know Calhoun is hot on their trail. That should be enough to turn your world upside down, right? Remember this is Tijan. So there is always more to the story. She further weaves in those secondary characters we love so much and add dimension to the story. Tijan expertly uses them to complete the picture painted in the Trilogy.

Bailey doesn't fail to be her incredible self, creating mischief, intrigue, and drama. But we love her for it. With Matt as her sidekick, it's taken to another level. The beauty of all these shenanigans is watching the sibling bond grow, further developing Bailey into an even more dynamic character.

We see a few different sides of Kash though he never flounders in his BA persona. His tenderness for Bailey never ceases but we also see it extend in various ways toward others in his intimate circle. He becomes more.

It's nothing less than a roller coaster with Kash, Bailey, and Matt sitting in the front row. The story could not have been completed any better and absolutely worth the wait. Since Tijan is wont to drop Easter eggs, you might want to refresh your memory of the first two books prior to jumping into this book. More certainly a #oneclick!!

5-star rating for the series as a whole too!

This is the finale in this amazing trilogy – and wow, what a rollercoaster ride of complication and intensity! You cannot read this as a standalone, it would be confusing and you would miss out on a huge amount of vital information. What I can say, though, is that if you are too desperate to read this as it arrives on your Kindle, then I think you can safely go in not having done a reread, as it all came flooding back to me and subtle reminders through the book ensured that I was up-to-date with any small detail that might have slipped my mind.

We are propelled straight back into the fast-paced, devastating, and infinitely complicated life that Bailey is now leading. Thankfully she has Kash by her side, and they remain close and true to each other through thick and thin, which is both refreshing and pretty much essential. That belief in these two being a tight couple adds greatly to the pleasure to be had from this story.

To say that there is intrigue, power play, and danger at the highest levels brought on by both of their fathers is an understatement, but then there is the just as insidious behaviour of some of Bailey's college mates. There is no time to process one thing before another flies in, and it enhances our belief in the extreme intelligence of Bailey, and those she has around her.

I don't often go back to a book, as there as so many new ones out there to read, but this trilogy is now at the top of my need-to-reread list, because I am confident that read all in one go, it will blow my mind in the very best way. Thank you, Tijan!

M/F Romance/Thriller

This is the third book in this series and you do have to read them in order, as one follows the other.

Kash has new secrets that he's trying to make sure don't touch his family. With new threats popping up daily, it will take all of his men and his skills to make sure that his family will never be threatened by his grandpa again.

Bailey is reeling. She witnessed something horrific and she can't just bounce back. Despite her brilliance, this is something she has to feel her way through instead of thinking her way through. As Bailey comes out of her fog, she will turn to her brother and Kash to help her get her revenge and come to terms with what has happened.

Twists and turns, betrayal and loyalty. These are the backbone of this story, and you won't know who to trust, who to turn to, and who will become your ally. It's a series that will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, feelings, and blood lust. You won't be disappointed!


Erica – ☆☆☆☆
THE REVENGE is the third and final installment in The Insiders series. It can in no way be read as a standalone, all three novels interconnect by a continuing plot. Not only would it be confusing, it would ruin the plot, along with the emotional investment.

THE DAMAGED left off with a doozy of a cliffhanger. Tijan does a masterful job of picking up where it was left off, while easing the reader into past events without resorting to info-dumps. Hints and reminders to spark readers' minds, whether they read the previous novels on their release dates or last week. No confusion to be had, no need for a reread (which I have a hankering to do). Just a seamless transition from the previous to the next.

Bailey's life has been in upheaval since word-one of THE INSIDERS. A pawn in a game powerful men play, as the by-blow daughter of a tech genius, taking after her father more than the siblings she's recently discovered. Through many ups and downs and tragedies, Bailey was trying to grasp the idea of family, only for more tragedy to strike.

Kash is fighting his own familial demons, refusing to be a pawn in the games powerful men play. He's a powerful man in his own right, only there are consequences when you tell men no when they're not used to hearing it. Whether a toddler or a Mafioso, they throw tantrums that cause hard-hitting consequences.

Twists and turns, secrets and lies, betrayed loyalty, mysteries discovered, uncovered, and revealed. Questions are finally answered that have plagued readers since the beginning of THE INSIDERS.

Bailey as a character is easily to identify with, with her strong desire to bond with her siblings, with the intense connection to Kash, and her quick mind forever attempting to solve their problems.

Bailey and Kash's relationship is refreshing. Supportive instead of smothering masquerading as love, as often love is portrayed. Kash is protective and supportive, standing by to catch Bailey should she fall, instead of acting as if she's incapable of helping herself.

Bailey and Kash help slay each other's demons without miscommunication driving a wedge between them. It's a refreshing change of pace for a couple to present a united front against so much drama, where usually unnecessary drama is introduced inside the relationship.

Highly recommended to fans of Tijan, especially those looking for a trilogy filled with twists and turns. Now I'm looking forward to waiting a bit, then binge-reading the trilogy back-to-back. Whatever Tijan releases next, I'll be waiting in anticipation.

Finally we have the last book in the trilogy and it was definitely worth the wait! This book was good - the plot hooked you and kept you reading. I couldn't put it down, I had to find out what was going to happen next. I seriously felt like I needed some red string and a murder board to figure it all out. But I will say after finishing the book and sitting on my review for a few days...overall I felt kind ehhhhh so-so about it. The book is definitely good and I recommend the series to people, plus I absolutely love Kash so I'm not sure why but looking back this read felt only slightly above average for me. It could be I struggled with what Bailey was dealing with throughout most of this book or it could just be that I'm sad the story is over. Either way I rate The Revenge at a 3.5 star read for me.

The book The Revenge was the perfect conclusion to the series with Bailey and Kash. Everything that Bailey has been through with her mom being murdered in front of her by Kash's grandfather to get to him backfired because Bailey did not end up hating Kash like his grandfather has hoped. Calhoun, Kash's grandfather was a man filled with greed and would do anything to get what he wanted including murder. Quinn in my opinion is just as unhinged as Calhoun and think they made the perfect couple. The whole series has been a very easy read because it just pulls you in and you can't wait to turn the page to see what happens next. the love between Bailey and Kash never wavered and I loved how they could really see each other deep down into their souls, breaking down walls and letting the intensity of their love shine through. There was angst and I never doubted this couple belonged together. I was so drawn to Kash, intimidating and dangerous with the power to kill if necessary, yet exposing vulnerability when it came to Bailey. I could feel the depth of Bailey's emotions and pain as she worked through her grief to find her way back to being herself again. I loved her relationships with her siblings and would have liked to see that explored even more. Her brother Matt was such a great character and was one of my favorite people throughout. I would love to see him get his own story. There is no dull moment ever. There are a lot of surprises in the conclusion of this book that will surprise everyone. I love the conclusion of The Revenge and recommend this book.

The Revenge is the captivating and twisted conclusion to the Insiders trilogy. We are taken on quite a journey with Bailey and Kash as they are tested by eternal enemies yet they continue to grow stronger in their relationship. I loved the chemistry and passionate connection these two had. Kash was amazing. The way he loved Bailey was something to behold and I loved seeing how insightful he was to her needs. There were great secondary characters in this story but special mention must go out to Matt who I loved.
Fast-paced, angsty, steamy, swoony and suspenseful the story will have you hooked on each page wanting to know more. There was so much happening in this story, so many secrets were unraveled and just when you think you have it all figured out something unexpected happens throwing you for a loop. You will be taken on a suspenseful roller-coaster ride right up until the end. This page turner was well written and totally engrossing and I would highly recommend it to lovers of romantic suspense.

I enjoyed the ending to Kash & Baileys trilogy, but overall think this could have easily been a duet. A bit drawn out unnecessarily in my opinion. I struggled to stay focused while reading and kept minding myself distracted.

There is so much to unpack here. Kash and Bailey are dealing with the events at the end of book two. Bailey has withdrawn into her own mind in order to numb herself of the trauma she was previously dealt in the last chapter of The Damaged. Kash is trying to take down his grandfather. The only light in this otherwise chaotic life of betrayal and intrigue is Matt. I will forever love Matt and he definitely deserves his own book.

Honestly, though I enjoyed this series as a whole, I felt this book just has so much in it. It wasn’t bad it was just … a lot. The author did get us to the end. She gave us a full, very full, story and the conclusion was a crazy ride for sure. If you read and liked the first two books then you don’t want to miss this one.

The Revenge was the last in The Insiders trilogy. It was a satisfying conclusion and I was pleased to see how the author wrapped it all up.

We pick back up where book two left us. Bailey, the computer whiz and girlfriend to Cash (young billionaire with a dangerous family) is struggling to deal with a recent trauma. It takes her a good portion of the book to work through everything and come back to herself. The second portion of the book is much more engaging with a great deal of action. A great deal happens, including some satisfying twists. Tijan takes the open storylines and manages to tie them up before the end. Also, some very satisfying revenge is on the table - - hence the title. In addition, she gives us a view into the future and how things work out for our favorite couple. Of course, I love that.


AUDIOBOOK: In addition to reading the ebook, I also listened to the audio. I found the narration to be good and kept me connected to the story. I give the audio 4 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC and audio ARC. I voluntarily chose to review them and the opinions contained within are my own.

Sad to see this series end. I loved how we get to see Bailey grieve. We don't just move on. A lot of things happen. There are turns that I would not have thought of. Satisfying conclusion.

You need to read the entire series!

The Damaged ended on a huge cliffhanger with Bailey witnessing her mom Chrissy Hayes being killed and Kashton finding out that he has an identical twin brother who was raised by his evil grandfather Calhoun Bastian. Bastian was trying to kill Kash and everyone else would be collateral damage as a result.

There so much non-stop action in The Revenge that you almost need a scorecard because of everything that happens between Bailey dealing with the death of her mom and Kash closing the net around his grandfather to finish him off finally.

I will reread The Insiders Trilogy again soon because there are so many details that I probably missed when I read it because it will be worth the time spent.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is my bad: I didn't realize this is the third book in the series. I saw "Tijan" and immediately requested it/downloaded it. So lesson learned: check that the book is the first in a series because going into a series, especially by Tijan, with no context isn't great. Also, though, I don't know that I will go back and read the first two books, because I wasn't terribly intrigued by what I read in this one. Either way, this was a wash for me. It won't be my last Tijan book though.

I really liked how the beginning was a kind of recap of what has happened. So I wasn’t lost. The Revenge is a great ending to the trilogy! There are still twist and turns that happen. And this is a page turner. This whole series is fantastic!

The perfect way to end a stellar series. I was on the edge of my seat from page one because oh my gosh there was so much happening all the time, and I was shook with every twist, turn, and revelation. Kash and Bailey remain utter perfection, and the friendships and family aspect within these pages are always so fun to experience—they feel like my own. A million stars for The Revenge.

This was such an amazing finale to the series. I’m so glad to have picked up this trilogy as it’s a billionaire contemporary romance that I have always needed but never knew until now. I have rated all three books 5 stars because Tijan knows how to write and gives the readers what they want. There are so many twists and turns, also humor and past trauma that just goes all together in this book. In this book, all of your questions will be answered and readers will get the ending that they always wanted but never get. So with the writing, I would like to state that the pacing was fast but the story flowed and there are so many scenes that are memorable. I felt that this book was shorter in length to the first one as I finished it really fast. I obviously had no writing problems with this book and enjoyed everything about it.

Our MC’s are still Bailey and Kash. Both go through so much as Bailey just lost someone and was almost kidnapped while Kash is trying to keep everyone safe and getting his grandfather killed. I love how much both characters grew throughout the novel. Bailey tried to get over her grieving which was super hard for her and focused on getting revenge while Kash had to make many choices and became more vulnerable to Bailey. The side characters are still the same from the first two books and I enjoyed how involved Matt was in this book. I honestly want books with side characters. This book wasn’t heavenly focused on romance but it had some. It was more focused on revenge with love then just love.

The ending was really good and we got an epilogue which was just what I needed. The epilogue helped with us not having an open ending but a very closed one with what happened after the revenge. It’s an epilogue that readers always want after the series ends. I truly enjoyed this trilogy and am so glad to have gotten to read these books because they were all 5 star reads. I honestly have no idea what to read next because I need more Kash and Bailey in my life.

The amount of emotions and twists in this third book is so intense. I think it was my favorite in the series for all of the grief, lust, and family loyalty moments. The amount of understanding and loyalty is what hooked me to this family as they are very ride or die. I also appreciated the chapters from the viewpoints of Kash in this one and almost wish there were a few chapters from Matt’s point of view too. This conclusion is so epic and I will definitely be recommending this series to people who need a good hacker story, a good kidnapping story, and a different series than what they have read before.
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest opinion.

I’ve been waiting for the conclusion to Bailey and Kash’s story! There are plenty of twists and turns throughout this story.
The first half the story felt like it was kind of dragging at times to me, especially for a third book in a trilogy. However, the story did pick up. There were a lot of loose ends to wrap up and they do eventually get there.
I loved Bailey throughout this series. I love that after what happened to her in the previous book, she turned that into fuel for revenge. Sure, she had moments where she was done, but she turned it all around. She is a strong character. I also adore her relationship with her brother, Matt. Kash is amazing, like always. I love how the cares about Bailey and it only grows stronger throughout this book.
I adored the epilogue, it was super sweet to see into the future for Kash and Bailey.
If you’re looking for a romantic suspense this trilogy is one to check out.

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4973433488">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
After the devastating ending of the last book, I was a little wary heading into this book. The beginning was just as heartbreaking as I thought it would be...ugh the grief that Bailey went through was just so difficult to read. However, I trusted that the author would make it right somehow. The twists and reveals kept me reading late into the night. Kash was amazing as usual but the highlight was reading about the family and Bailey's growing relationship with her siblings. Any mention of Seraphina or Cyclone had me smiling and Team Batt was simply adorable. <br /><br />The conclusion to this trilogy was everything I wanted and more. So very satisfying and I only wish there was more to read.

The third book in The Insiders Trilogy is just as exciting, suspenseful and twisty as the first two books. You must read The Insiders and The Damaged before you read this book, or you will be completely lost. I have truly enjoyed this whole series!

At the conclusion of The Damaged (book two), Bailey suffered an unimaginable loss. She is still reeling and grieving from that at the beginning of this book. Kash is still trying to protect Bailey and take down his evil grandfather. There were some good twists/surprises in this book-some I saw coming and some not. So good. My favorite part of this whole series is the force of Kash and Bailey together. Though they do go through so much together in a relatively short time, they are both loyal to each other. She knows he has to do bad stuff to protect her, and she gets it. He knows being in her life puts her in danger, but he can't stay away. Nor does she want him to.

This has been such a great series: suspenseful, twisty, steamy, romantic and full of action. Even humor. Team Batt: Bailey and her brother, Matt. LOL. It was nice to see his growth throughout the series, too.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for an advanced reader copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

What a fantastic end to this series. So many twists and turns, ups and downs and huh moments in this book. A definite roller coaster of emotions as well. This book starts where book two ended. You must read these books in order. Kash will do anything for Bailey. The love he has for her is a forever kind of love. And Bailey returns that love. These two have such a special bond. The things they go through only makes them stronger. I just loved this book and am sad for it to come to an end. I hope we get more of Kash and Bailey in the future. So grab the popcorn and hang on tight. This is one hellava ride.
