I loved this trilogy so much and the ending did not disappoint. Tijan has a true writing style unique to herself and her storyline are exciting. I loved Bailey so much, her plot throughout the books evolved and she was the star of these books for me. Thank you so much for the ARC, I would highly recommend these books to anyone wanting, romance and action.

This book had me on the edge of my seat, holding my breath from beginning to end. The revelations just kept coming, and just when you thought you solved a problem, another sprouted up. It was unpredictable and thrilling, this complete series was amazing. I appreciated that with the uncertainty of everything around them, Kash and Bailey’s relationship never wavered. A must-read series for sure.

This has been by far my FAVOURITE book from The Insiders Trilogy!
This is what I missed from the first two books…the Tijan touch *Bliss*
The Revenge is intense and I loved every moment of it.
Bailey is a genius. Literally. Hahaha 
But all things aside, I really like Bailey. She’s unique..a little difficult to understand her at times. She tends to follow in the beat of her own drum but all these things makes her uniquely Bailey.
I LOVE Kash. Kash Colello is intimidating, protective, dangerous and incredibly sexy. But I think what I loved most about the way Tijan wrote Kash is that, though he may seem infallible, he does make mistakes and boy does that make this character SO REAL.
The chemistry between Kash and Bailey is so good! I love the way Kash loves Bailey. I loved reading the scenes between them…it was endearingly sweet at times, frustratingly angsty at the other and definitely super sexy.

The Revenge is dramatic, suspenseful and extremely steamy. The twists and revelations were shocking! I didn’t see it coming and that in itself made me giddy cause let me tell you, I have been reading way too many books where I could see “the dramatic revelation” from a mile away.

The personalities of the characters, be it the main or the secondary characters, the plot line, the pace of the story..everything about this book makes for one definite page turner.

3.75 – 4 STARS

In this conclusion to Bailey and Kash’s tumultuous yet passionate saga, “The Revenge” moves forward in this couple’s unyielding quest for retribution while also reaching for their very own HEA.

Despite a sluggish start, the storyline is suspenseful and engaging, with some interesting twists and turns along the way. All in all, it’s a good, satisfying conclusion to a highly enjoyable trilogy.

In the conclusion of this trilogy, I have to admit that Revenge was better for me. I almost did not continue after
reading Damaged. For some reason, it was a lull in the trilogy that could have made this a just a two book series.
Revenge picks up right where Damaged left off. I really hated how Damaged ended and I was so heartbroken for Bailey. I loved how Kash and the family gave her space to heal and when she came back down from that she truly was a force to be reckoned with. She grew into herself and found her footing. In previous books, I personally was finding it hard to like her and the simple pettiness Kash, Bailey and Matthew were doing because some of those actions were childish for their age. I enjoyed how everything came together and the answers we have been dying for from the previous books. Overall it was a good ending to this series.

The third and final installment of the series......Guys I have no freaking words!!!! Basically throughout this book my jaw came and stayed unhinged from all the twists and turns. Tijan has a magnificent talent to keep readers enthralled from beginning to end. I always feel as though in right there with them living the same things and that my friends takes talent, ALOT of talent. Anyways you most definitely need to get this and the first 2 if you haven't. Make sure you don't have any commitments though because you will forget all about them until you have finished this crazy , scary, loving, amazing ride!😉

What… WHO… Why… was on repeat while reading this heart pounding epic conclusion of this series.

Tijan wrote a suspenseful, action packed book that blew me away. I knew this book was going to be epic after the first two but oh my. The plot twist had me on the edge of my seat.

Then we have Kash and Bailey. I absolutely love Bailey and Kash. They definitely have a connection and a love that conquers all.

What an outstanding conclusion of this series.

The cliffhanger in The Damaged destroyed me. Honestly wasn’t sure how Tijan would fix me in The Revenge.

But ahhhhh Kashton, he was everything I want in a hero. Strong, supportive, and 100% devoted to his woman. He and Bailey together are intense and all-encompassing.

There’s so much that happened in The Revenge, and yet, it’s indescribable without spoiling anything. The story that Tijan wove for us was enthralling and makes it so you’re unable to put the book down…until you finish.

All the characters are so well written. Bailey’s half-siblings became so important to me as a reader, and I liked them almost as much as Bailey herself.

I’m sad to see this series go, but I’ll be anxiously awaiting anything else Tijan writes.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the review copy.

This entire trilogy was larger-than-life and I’m so happy I was able to read it. The Insiders hooked me in book one and books two and three followed with their quick pace, curveballs, and of course the spice! Bailey and Kash make a great team both inside and outside of the bedroom 😉

The Revenge is book three in the trilogy and was full of twists and turns, all while keep the love between Bailey and Kash AND Bailey’s family alive and well.

Tijan takes the reader on an incredible journey that kept me on the edge of my seat. Trying to figure out what was going to happen next and how they were going to work themselves out of a would-be disaster was so much fun.

I dove into The Revenge and didn’t come up for air until I was finished, just like the first two books in this series. Extraordinary story and the perfect conclusion to The Insiders trilogy!

Absolutely loved this!! This was probably my favorite one out of the series! I loved how the story developed and all the twists that occurred within the plot. I especially loved how Bailey and Kash’s relationship was written and developed throughout the story. I felt like we were able to watch not only them grow together but separately as their own individuals. That was accomplish not only by displaying their personal struggles but being able to see their communication/relationship struggles also. Overall, this one was amazing and had me hooked all the way through❤️

I did not know that this was the last book in a trilogy so it was a bit confusing for me to get into it! I went back and read up on the past books a little and some things were cleared up. Overall I enjoyed it, but I definitely would have enjoyed it more if I had realized. My mistake!!

Oh my poor beating heart!!

The Revenge definitely took my surprise in every way! Emotional, suspenseful and full of action! Bailey and Kash’s story hasn’t been an easy one and now that it’s over I feel so lost! I really loved that Tijan did this story as a trilogy because we truly got to know the characters! They became a part of life and she wrapped this all off nicely but I wasn’t ready for it to end!

Be prepared for the unexpected because there are so many twists and betrayals that I did not see coming!

The “heat” of this book for me is a 4 because I’m sucker for Tijan’s “steamy” scenes! Kash is so broody that it just adds to it for me!! This story is full of all that I love about books because Tijan combines romance with action and mystery! You just can’t help but become involved with the story and it’s characters!

Tijan Does it again! I never fail to get sucked into a whole other world when I read her books. The connection between Kash and Bailey is what every woman wishes for. If you love alpha male book boyfriends and strong female mc with action and suspense look no further.

And the finale is here. As expected, this book is more suspenseful and twisted than the other two in the trilogy. Many questions have been answered, many more actions are making sense now and overall that well deserved happily ever after reaches its apogee.
I can’t remember loving a Tijan’s book so much as this one. Perfect finish for a must read story!

Thank you St. Martin’s Press for my copy of The Revenge! Tijan is one of my favorite authors and I couldn’t wait to read the conclusion of that gripping trilogy!

For you readers, this is the conclusion of the gripping trilogy “The Insiders”.

So don’t read this review if you haven’t read the other two books or you’ll be spoiled. Also I’ll keep this fairly short and vague too to avoid any spoilers for this exciting conclusion!

This book is full of shocking revelations and twists! You have been warned!

Bailey is hurting so bad after her mother’s death. She is retreating inside her head, lost in another world, there but not there.

She doesn’t touch a computer, she misses school… she is mourning and that hurt seeing her like that!

Meanwhile Kash is doing everything he can to finally bring the demise of his grandfather.

But even if he is plotting and often away, Kash will ALWAYS put Bailey first. He will ALWAYS come back, even if it’s setting back his revenge, when Bailey needs him.

And that’s something I adore in Tijan’s books and that is present here: the utter dedication of the main male character to his love interest!

I need a man to breath and live for his woman and Kash certainly does!

Something else that I truly love in this series is that Bailey is a brain!!! Her intelligence is dazzling and I love seeing her in action behind her computer. That’s a real perk of this series.

The side characters like Matt or Seraphina and Cyclone are true assets to the book, adding that feel of authenticity, a warmth that comes when you have found your family.

That sequel is filled with action, plot and counter plots, very very shocking reveals, intense love and family bonds.

I loved it!

What a conclusion to an all around great series by Tijan! So much happened in this final book that I feel like I was literally on my toes the entire time. Bailey and Kash are both such enjoyable characters. I really enjoyed how their relationship worked and how they played off each other. They were extremely loyal and just all around great.

There were so many twists and turns to keep me on my toes—exactly what I wanted in this book. I wasn’t disappointed. I am glad they were finally able to get their HEA.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Prior to this arc, I had no idea this was a series of books! I’m so glad because I was able to read the books before this one and it’s been an enjoyable read. Kash and Bailey were such great characters. I loved them as individuals and how they had belief in one another. This book didn’t veer towards the typical plot lines and I appreciated that.

The Revenge is the conclusion to The Insiders trilogy which follow Bailey and Kash and well their revenge.
This books is as much as a roller coaster as the last two books, having the balance of romance and suspense, keeping me on edge.
The book kicks off a few weeks after the ending of The Damaged, Bailey dealing with the emotional heartbreak and mental damage Kash's grandfather inflicted on her.
Its takes her a while to come back to who she was and even then, she's not the same.
There are so many things weighing on her and Kash.
There are secrets that unravel, people stepping out of the shadow to change the course of things.
One things that nags on me is the communication between Bailey and Kash. With all the drama going on, one would think to keep the other in the loop for safety or just awareness but no. Both decided to keep a lot and then well proceed to act as if nothing... lie, not nothing but just disregard it overall.
Character wise, Kash is the same. Bailey seems to fall into who she is now but keeping part of who she was.
Overall, good conclusion to the series and will highly recommend.
