Absolutely Stunning! Gut-wrenching, tears, smiles, family, strength, courage, trust, faith, complex, genius. All these words can be used in describing this book. Each chapter brings a whole different view or path to what has been written so far and you just can’t put the book down. Leading up to Chapter 15, your heart is pounding, at 15, my heart stopped! Every time I finished a chapter, I would go back a couple of pages to make sure I read all the words right. There’s so much more to explore, even after reading the last line. I absolutely loved it. It is a stand alone, but there is so much background in the Hearts: A Sizzling Hot Rock Star series as well as the Captive Hearts Romance series one and two. I’d recommend reading those books as well as Ashes to New (a prequel novella). I can’t get enough!
I received this advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
I have to say that this book was absolute perfection. Forest’s story is one that we have been waiting for and Ellie Masters did not disappoint with this complex man and his complex soul and force of nature. Forest is a character that we have seen across several of Ms. Masters books but has yet to be the main story until now. This was most definitely a read that was intense and had my heart stopping several times. I wasn’t sure how I would make it through to the end with Forest and all of the hurt and turmoil and very hard times it took to get there. But every single moment of this story was well worth the read and I have to applaud the author for not taking any easy road to tell his story.
Forest’s Fall book 3 of the Captive Hearts Series will pull you in from the first page. This story was heartbreaking and full of emotion and suspense. Forest’s journey was well worth the wait as you follow this larger than life man trying to get to the one man that left him broken. The banter between Forest and Sara at times will make you laugh as Sara is this feisty non nonsense sexy assistant. Sara pushes him around and helps center him, but unknown to Forest who only has affairs with men Sara has loved him ever since he saved her. Now Forest and his team have an opportunity to get to Snowden, the man that used him and Skye as children. You will be on edge with all of the twists and turns that takes place when they think they are going to shut down this evil man’s sex operation and capture him. But Snowden has other plans, Sara has been take along with Skye’s son. Forest has a decision to make he has to save his nephew and come back to be Snowden’s pet again in order to keep Sara safe. Now Forest is once again used sexually and beaten by Snowden and his men. But when Paul who is ordered to guard them both has his own plans to have Forest . Things will take a turn between these two men as they are both attracted to each other . While Sara confesses her feelings for Forest , this complex dark story will develop a relationship between all three. In order for Forest to play along with Snowden, he has set things into motion destroying Snowden’s empire from within. Can Forest and Sara survive what is coming next for them as they wait for help to arrive? Will Paul after he learns the truth from Forest help them and what will this mean for the three of them. I don’t know how Ellie Master’s has done it, but this dark romance story is full of angst, danger and heart stopping passion, this is a must read. I highly suggest you read books 1-2 to fully understand the horror Forest had to live through and made him the man he is today. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
This is one of those rare books that will stay with me for a while. It is full of suspense and raw emotions. Twists and turns are also included. It is an absolutely fanfuckingtastic dark romantic suspense book. My heart was racing due to some exciting scenes and the way Ellie uses words to describe what is happening made me cried hard a few times. I really hate to see this series end.
I highly recommend this book
Forest’s Fall Ellie Masters
“Save the children.”
The mantra is on an endless loop in Forest Summer’s head. He eats, breathes and sleeps saving children from the horrors of sex trafficking. Having survived with the help of his foster sister Skye, Forest had dedicated himself to finding and saving the children… To finding John Snowden, the evilest of evils, and to end him, even if it costs Forest everything…
An ancient evil as was ever known in this world doesn’t give up easily. It will hide, slither away, fade into the background into near invisibility, but it doesn’t give up… Ever. It will twist and turn, seeking a method of continued control… Of retribution.
When a giant of a man, still harboring internal doubts and intense self-hatred takes action, evil will do what it must to survive… And woe to any in its insidious path, or within its malevolent reach….
This book… Oh, this book! I wanted to savor each word, sip at each emotional scene, yet I also wanted to race to the end…. It’s excruciating when you have this intense push/pull to finish… No, no…. to slow down and savor… It’s not just a dark romance novel; no, it is so, so much more! Erotic and sensuous, it wrings emotion from the reader, whether willing or not. A haunting, soul baring tale that delves deep into the darkening void, the bottomless abyss of self-hatred and the agony of never being enough, of failing those you hold dearest, of not being what you needed, no… what you HAD to be… And the discovery that none of that matters. What matters is you ARE good enough, You DO deserve to love and be loved, that you ARE the world to another, whose soul fills yours with light, banishing the darkness, eradicating the miasma of failure, self-doubt and loathing… Leaving only love… as Forest falls…
The anticipation of Forest’s Fall has been building for months and it incredibly surpasses every expectation. It’s the ultimate culmination of the Angel Fire and Captive Hearts series. From the opening paragraph Ellie Masters paints such vivid pictures with her words. So dark, so brutal and so intense that it’s shocking but I dare you not to put it down. At times I felt like my heart would beat out of my chest as events unfolded. I definitely spent time sitting at the edge of my seat. The final showdown in Forest’s quest for vengeance has some unexpected consequences but amid all the darkness Forest finds what he needs; the love of his life and Dominance he never knew he needed or craved.
Wow, totally blew my mind that I’m just about lost for words. Ellie has pulled out everything in Forests story its full of, love, hate, joy, disbelief, laughter and tears. One things for sure once you start you will be stuck reading right to the end. Just could not put this down. I even found my self re-reading pages just to make sure I didn’t miss one tiny little detail. This is undoubtedly not an easy read, with some horrific scenes in it, it is however a compelling one which will over take your life once you start reading it.
Forests story will tear you to pieces, lives of the few people he loves are very much at risk. Yet it is love which Forest needs to rely on to get him and Sara through. Trust is an emotive issue, Sara needs to trust Forest implicitly and without question yet she doesn’t see how he can do anything, whereas she might be able. They both need to trust a stranger Paul, but there are serious doubts as to where his loyalties really lie.
Forests story has been highly anticipated by those who have read The Angels series and Captivated series’s and we were not disappointed. He was that guy, who we knew so little of at the start yet became the one we needed. He was that guy who became the lynch pin. Yes at a push you could read as stand alone but I highly recommend reading all the series first.
As for the teaser at the end on the new spin off series ? I read 2 pages of that and stopped 6 months is way way to long to wait
This is a truly amazing book that will fill you with emotion and leave you feeling wrung out. Once you start reading it is hard to put down, I had to stop reading twice because I couldn’t see through the tears. It is hard to comprehend man’s inhumanity to man and Ellie Masters brings it to life with a scary authenticity. She also demonstrates the depth of passion and love that is not always shown the same way but is nonetheless as powerful as the more traditional expression and just as beautiful. The ending is amazing and everything you could ask for, a wonderful story and I can’t recommend it enough.
OMG! I love the Captive Hearts books and bam! Forest’s Fall knocked me on my ass! Drama, passion, angst. This book has it all. It was amazing and I loved it!
