This book was absolutely amazing. Such an exciting conclusion to The Insiders trilogy. Tijan is a magician with words and story lines.

I have absolutely loved reading The Insiders Trilogy by Tijan and after reading the first two books, I could not wait to read the final book. So as soon as I got my hands on the final book, The Revenge, I could not wait to start reading it. I was not ready for it! I loved it. I devoured it. From the very beginning, it was a wild ride that kept me at the edge of my seat. We pick up after the events of book two and the family is devastated and worried about Bailey. For Kash, Baily is everything and he will do whatever it takes to protect those he loves. He is determined, smart and calculating. Though Bailey is grieving and feeling lost, she is ready to take on their enemy. Everything is at stake.

I do not want to give anything away or spoil the previous books, but I want to express how much I have loved this series. It was full of surprises, twists, and turns. Just as we think we have a handle on what is going on, we are slammed with something new. Kash is determined to stay two steps ahead. One thing I really loved was how the family came together. I loved not only this book, but the entire series and highly recommend it.

Happy reading!

The second I saw I could request this on Netgalley I jumped at the opportunity so thank you for that because I have been waiting impatiently for this book since I finished the last book. Tijan is one of my favorite authors and have a perfect ending to Kash and Bailey’s story and I can’t wait to re read the whole series again

I was pretty lost for the first part of this book. I feel like I would have enjoyed the book more if I had read the first books in the series.

This is the final installment in the Insiders trilogy and Tijan's first traditionally published series. I can say that the story ended with everything coming together but I also felt like some things were still left open, and there is always a but ... I can't say anything really bad but it did feel anticlimactic and quite a bit of it was filler. I did like the epilogue, I enjoyed how it all came together plus the time jump.

Unfortunately, this series just isn’t for me. I’m sure many people will love this, but it’s not something I’m enjoying.

The third and final book in the trilogy which should be read as such. Tijan delivers an action-packed, fast paced, romantic suspense with a few entertaining twists and turns. While the storyline keeps readers engaged with angst and some darker aspects of the criminal world, too much of the writing felt familiar. All boxes were checked for the trope, including the predicable ending. Overall, an okay read.

Thanks to #NetGalley for the ARC of #TheRevenge which was read and reviewed voluntarily.

I grabbed this book so fast when it was available on Netgalley. Danced my way through the one click I needed to get to it. This was the conclusion of the series of Bailey and Kash. So you would definitely need to read the previous books.

I have to state that Bailey was a kick ass character in this book. I absolutely was cheering for her throughout this book. In the previous book something horrible happened to Bailey that was unforgettable. Yet, she took that experience/darkness to seek her own revenge. Her mission was to destroy Kash’s grandfather. Dear old Grandpa was pure evil. Kash was amazing as ever. I liked how he trusted and teamed up with her in this book. Their love was beautiful.. We finally meet Chase, and understand why he was important to the story. And he was a likable person that was also a bit mysterious. The great thing about it was it was all revealed towards the end of the story. Ah I loved Matt! He was a great brother and friend. I really hope he gets his own book. The other siblings didn’t get enough time in this book. Which was sad because the relationship between Bailey and her siblings was precious.

Now, to the unbelievable storyline. Which was why I couldn’t give this book five stars. There was an important storyline that didn’t make sense at all. I had too many questions and I know she tried explaining it. I still didn’t believe it. Another issue for me was the ending for grandpa. It wasn’t what I wanted for such evilness nor could I believe it either.

The epilogue was adorable and amazing. I loved how she tied everything in the end so nicely for Bailey and Kash. Overall, it was a good ending to the series. I know if you love her other books you will enjoy this one.

The Revengej by Tijan (The Insiders Trilogy #3) was freaking one phenomenal read!
And fans of the first two books are going to love this trilogy!

I devoured the first two books of this series so quickly, and I'm so sad that it has ended!
Tijan's writing style is just amazing, so interesting to read, so addicting and unputdownable!
This book left me with the biggest book hangover ever!
The Revenge has it all from love to some steamy moments with a bit of suspense.
I couldn't put it down! I didn't want to put it away!
Bailey and Kash continue their story in this compelling, fascinating book.
If you haven't experienced their story.... Stop whatever you're doing and got experience it. NOW!
FIVE amazing stars for this amazing Author!

This series was my first by Tijan. I read the first two prior to reading this ARC. This was such a great conclusion to an epic series. I will definitely be reading more Tijan.

An epic conclusion to an epic triology!

I REALLY enjoyed this series. Every book is five stars for me. Tijan just always does a great job of striking a perfect balance between fun, heat, and angst. I will say that I wish this book was longer- The first half felt like it dragged (just a little bit) and then when I got to the second half I felt like I flew through it. I'd have liked for the second half to be expanded more, and I would have enjoyed exploring more of a few characters (I won't say who or why because spoilers are the worst). Regardless of that little nit-pick- this book is still five stars for me. I had been waiting to read the first two books for a long time because I knew that with her writing, waiting for the final book would be torture- she's just so good at drawing you in so you HAVE to know what happens next. I'm so glad I was finally able to read all three, it was well worth the wait!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Two words. KASHTON COLLELO. If you need one reason to read this series, it is this man. You have to experience the mesmerising and breathtaking and sexy and alpha hero epitome called Kash. The Revenge by Tijan brings the conclusion of the romantic suspense trilogy but I know Kash won't ever leave my heart.


The web is getting complex and this last book is where everything comes together. Kash has to take down his evil grandfather for once and all as the enemies are too close to people he loves. Likw Bailey Francis-Hayes. She is in shock after her mother was killed in front of her. Bailey is a shadow of her former self. Her billionaire technology genius father, her new found siblings, her special school..everything is all over the place. Kash has to protect her and fight a battle. But Bailey is slowly getting better and she refuses to stand at the sideline when Kash can use her extraordinary computer skills.


Kash is a phenomenon. Every time this man comes on the page, I swear I get goosebumps and tingles. He is all about power, authority and dominance in his professional life. People envy him and fear him. He is ruthless and merciless while dealing with his enemies and god his arrogance and confidence is such a turn on. He is just..too perfect to handle. Because this same man is obnoxiously ridiculously love his woman to the point of madness. How am I supposed to resist him? Sorry Bailey girl, you are all bada## and funny and courageous and genius..but you are no match to Kash. She was in a dark place and Kash didn't lose his patience one single time. He was soft and caring and protective and understanding. When she took stupid risks, he came in all guns blazing but he never underestimated her gift. It could have been a power imbalance but Kash made sure to drop on his knees to love his woman. A lot of moving puzzle pieces fit together to bring the ending. So many twists and so much suspense till the very last chapter that kept the story interesting. But, again, you need to read this series for Kash. He is a legendary book boyfriend.

I reviewed an early copy voluntarily through Netgalley and St. Martin's Press

This book was so great and worth the wait but after I finished reading it I’m kinda disappointed. I’m disappointed that the book was so good. I’m disappointed about the answers we didn’t get. And if you haven’t figured it out yet I’m only really disappointed that Bailey and Kash’s story is over. Tijan as always this book was phenomenal and I recommend that everyone re-read books 1 & 2 because the things that happen in this book are twists that you never saw coming or thoughts that lived in the back of your mind but you figured that you were just being super crazy and then to find out you were right to be suspicious. The Revenge is highly recommended by me. I hope in the future we get more books featuring the Francis Family & Friends because I’m curious about the rest of them especially everything mentioned in the last 15% of the book.

Final installment of Bailey and Kashton.
Action packed from beginning to end. Bailey was struggling with losing her mother and Kash is trying to figure out how to take out his grandfather. Kash finds he has twin brother who was hidden from him from his grandfather and he is not sure if he is on his side or his grandfathers.
Bailey's father's ex wife is groomed by Kash's grandfather and everyone seems to be linked to his grandfather. Kash and Bailey's love is stronger than ever and they are determined to fight his grandfather to the end.
It is action packed until the very end. I really enjoyed reading the entire series.
Thanks to St. Martin and Netgalley for ARC.

The final story in the trilogy, this thrilling adventure leaves you in shock & awe. I appreciated the quick summary from the last books cliffhanger that helped remind me of the major points. Once I got everything straight I was brought right back into their story. Bailey & Kash have the most incredible relationship. This series is one that draws you in & keeps a hold of you. I really loved all of the intrigue in this and how a *certain* new character is a mystery that must be solved. Also, when Bailey & Kash finally admit their feelings, it’s not an easy HEA, they have to fight for it.

This book was excellent. As great as the books before it. It has surprises, answers, and even more information we didn’t think we needed before. All I can say is I want more from this group of characters.

This is the conclusion to Bailey and Kash a story. There are surprises along the way that make it clear the cache his family is even more complicated than I had previously thought. Kash must deal with his grandfather and Bailey must make sure that the rest of her family is not harmed. It’s fast paced and there is suspense but we still see the relationship progressing and that they are meant to me. As always there a twist interns that just make the book more entertaining.

Tijan never disappoints. This third installment kept me on the edge of my seat. You must read the series in order or you might be lost. Trust me, it’s not a hardship to read.

Bailey and Kash FINALLY finally are finally explaining us all the secrets and author done it in the best possible way!

I cannot believe that I read last book in series, because it took a little, right?.I won't lie, waiting that long for conclusion was keeping me on my toes, but suspense and romantic relationship made The Revenge really worth to wait.

Author throwing readers deeply into action, that can steal breath away. There's no mercy, and I hadn't feel bored even for a minute. There was a lot of darkness in Kash and Baliey's life and author showed perfectly evolution of their story.... and their characters.

Once the trylogy started, I wasn't convinced if I can be honest, but today after seeing author's plan ? I really recommend this title! It's not only romance, but also captivating story with big dose of suspense! The action is very intense, just like the chemistry between Bailey and Kash.
