I loved Dylan and Sydney’s story, they were both strong characters and it was good to see their growth as a couple as romance grew. I loved how Syndey was it for Dylan as soon as he saw her there was no game playing. The drama was good and believable and I adore the town and how everone supports each other, the glimpses of the other couples from the series are brilliant too, I cant wait for more.

Coming Consumed
Book 3 in the Carson series is Sydney and Dylan’s story. It can be read as a standalone or part of the series. I would recommend reading the series. I’ve really enjoyed all 3 books and can’t wait to read more by Renee Harless.
Sydney is owner of what was her Mother’s bakery. She’s worked really hard and thinking of expanding. The only problem is she’s struggling to find the right person to help run the new business…
That is until she meets Dylan. His application is everything she’s looking for in a chef. He’s perfect for the position, and not to mention extremely sexy. Not that, that would sway Sydney’s decision to employ him. She’s not looking for a relationship, and although she’s a bit freaked with how attracted to him she is. She decides to give him a trial run, to see how things go…
Will Dylan get the job? Can Sydney fight her feelings?
This book was filled with suspense, mystery, action and lots of steamy moments. It had me glued to my kindle from start to finish…So good!
This is my first book by this author and was not disappointed at all. Really enjoyed Sydney and Dylan’s story. This is the 3rd book in the series and is a standalone with its own HEA, but it is recommended to read the other two books for some background on the other characters and really understand what all went on, on some of the scenes. I was intrigued from the beginning and couldn’t put this book down.
Sydney is a baker who took over her mom’s bakery and is working on an expansion to keep her mother’s legacy alive and add her own touch to it. She is sweet and with a big heart and everyone in Carson loves her. But like everyone, she has her own secrets, that after years she’s still has the nighmares as a reminder. As a result she hates lies and has difficulty trusting people and letting them in.
Dylan Bennett is an FBI agent assigned to keep an eye on Sydney as the secret that she’s been holding comes back to haunt her. The thing is that Dylan is there undercover applying as the head chef for the expansion side of the bakery and instantly feels the attraction towards Sydney and isn’t able to hold back. Sydney also matches his feelings but is a little hesitant when her strong feelings for Dylan scare her. What happens when circumstances bring all their secrets to light? Will Sydney’s feelings for Dylan be strong enough for her to get over that fact that Dylan lied to her?
Not only did Sydney pull on my heart strings but Dylan also had me swooning. Their chemistry was amazingly hot and the action scenes had me on the edge of my seat. Really liked how Renee shows how people all come together in small towns when most needed. Definitely going back and reading this series from the beginning. I can’t wait for the next book and see what happens next in the small town of Carson.
Sydney Connelly thought she had known what happiness felt like when she was in college. She had a wonderful boyfriend and she loved her culinary school classes. That all changed one horrible night, and she didn’t think she could ever trust or love anyone again.
She worked long hours at her bakery, Wake and Bake, that she bought from her mother when she graduated from college. She also recently purchased the building next door for the expansion of the business. Sydney began interviewing for a chef, but no had seemed right for the job — until Dylan Bennett walked in the door. He was very tall and muscular with a neatly trimmed beard and beautiful silver eyes that traveled up and down her body. She was intrigued by him and really hoped he could cook. When Dylan stepped through the door of the bakery, he was taken aback at how beautiful Sydney was. She had long, blonde wavy hair and a cute petite body. He was looking forward to getting to know her.
However, Sydney was reluctant to interview Dylan because she felt he had something to hide and she desperately hated liars, but she called him anyway. Dylan was ecstatic to hear from her, because he couldn’t get her out of his mind. He arrived early for the interview and, noticing that it was busy, immediately began to help Sydney. She enjoyed working with him so much that she asked him to come back the next day , to help her with some recipes and to see if he really knew his way around a kitchen.
After a busy day baking together, and many seductive glances between them, Dylan asked Sydney to dinner. Dylan was crazy about Sydney and he needed to be with her, and she was feeling the same way about him. The next morning, as they were locked in a heated embrace, Dylan’s phone rang. He told Sydney that even though he had to leave, what they had was far from over and he would be back for her. Will Sydney give in to her feelings for Dylan when he returns, or will she refuse to trust him ever again?
Can Dylan convince Sydney that she deserves to be cherished, and that they were meant to be together?
“Coming Consumed” is the third book in the Coming to Carson series, which I highly recommend. Renee has written a suspenseful and sensual story, with characters that speak from the heart. I can’t wait for the next book in the series, “Coming Altered.”
Book Review: Coming Consumed (Welcome to Carson Book 3)
Author: Renee Harless
FIVE STARS
Much like the first two books, Renee Harless has drawn me into Carson and is making me want to stay forever. The characters are so friendly and welcoming. The story lines are FABULOUS. Each book, while having the love story, also has an air of mystery and “who-dun-it” worked into the plot.
So not only is Harless drawing you in with the lead characters falling in love, but you also get to try to solve the issues at hand. You really do feel like you are a part of this small town and that you are trying to keep an eye on our lead character just like everyone else is.
Sydney is from a larger than life family. She is surround by all of her family in the wonderful small town of Carson, North Carolina. The owner and operator of the small bakery that she purchased from her mother, Wake and Bake, she is looking to expand her bakery and open a Grill as well. Now to just hire a chef.
Dylan is an FBI agent and Sydney is his current mission. He is intent to keep her safe. The chemistry between Dylan and Sydney is AMAZING. When they are together they can hardly keep their hands off one another. (So it is at this point that I must advise MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. There is a LOT of sex in this book. I am not complaining, just informing.)
So what happens when Sydney’s past comes back to finish what happened? Will she turn and run back to her past and the ideals that were discussed then, or will she choose her present and make a whole new future for herself?
There are times that this book is laugh out loud funny then you have the more serious times and of course you will probably tear up a couple times as I did. The fear you feel will be there as well as the giddiness too.
Just like the first two books I couldn’t put this one down either. I am really exicted to learn that there is a fourth book in the series and I CANNOT wait to get my hands on it.
KELLI HARPER
This is advertised as a stand alone book but I think it would have made a lot more sense if I read them in order. Also the “action” started basically as soon as the characters meet and it don’t make a whole lot of sense for two characters who were dedicated to their careers to both immediately jeopardize everything by sleeping with each other 30 minutes after meeting
AMAZING!!!! I voluntarily received an arc in exchange for an honest review! I loved Sydney and Dylan’s story. Beautifully written storyline with well developed characters pulls you into their story from the very beginning and makes you feel all the emotions as you turn each page. Renee know how to pull her audience in. I can’t wait for the next book
