Nick Murphy has put it all on the line for Alexa Nash.Falling in love was never in the playbook, but now that Nick has Alexa, he’ll do anything to protect her. First on the list: destroying the Walker family for what they did to Alexa when she was a teenager. Second: convincing Alexa it doesn’t matter if they can’t have children — because she is everything to him.Alexa Nash has either lost … him.
Alexa Nash has either lost everything or found her way home.
After quitting her job at the Attorney General’s office, Alexa is all in with Nick Murphy and the family business. Determined to destroy Leland before the election, she puts her legal knowledge to work alongside the Murphy brothers’ more controversial methods, trying not to ask herself difficult questions about the slippery moral slope.
But as Alexa attempts to adjust to life in the Murphy house, she must confront a terrible loss and the question of whether it’s really possible to heal with Nick. Then the Walkers deploy their wealth and power in an all-out war against the Murphys and the family has no choice but to respond in kind — forcing Alexa to consider the possibility that she may not live long enough to answer the question at all.

An explosive conclusion to Nick and Alexa story of horrendous deceitful acts, assault, kidnapping and payoffs. It seems that just as the couple completely acknowledged their love and there finally seems to be a beacon of hope for the future, fate takes an unexpected turn, threatening the only chance at survival…. Will justice be served? Can the couple obtain an HEA? End game is a great story and I’m looking forward to reading Declan’s story.
A great conclusion to a terrific series. Nick and Alexa face their hardest challenges trying to get justice for what happen to Alexa 10 years ago. The Murphy brothers are a force that will not be stopped this time. I loved this book because Nick also asked a couple of the Syndicate men for assistance. It is a sit on the edge of your seat book. Lots of suspense. Read this book today!
End Game is the third & final installment in the Wicked Game Series. It is not a standalone. I highly recommend reading Book One – Wicked Game & Book Two – Fair Game. This series was unbelievably AWESOME …
ARC received from author in exchange for an honest review …
Opinions expressed are my own & have not been influenced in any way …
Thank you Michelle St James for this amazing conclusion to the Wicked Game series. The sign of a 5 star rating for me lies in the characters & writing style both absolute perfection in my opinion as I did not want Nick & Lexi’s story to EVER end.
Book Three picks up right away with Nick & his siblings trying to pass the time while MIS ( Murphy’s Investigation Services ) is under close scrutiny by the MA Attorney General. No charges have been filed however trying to stay on the down-low is not working out so well as Nick continues to pursue Frederick & Leland Walker.
His girlfriend Alexa ( Lexi ) Nash is in danger because of him – as he has continued to pursue facts as to the recent deaths of two characters previously paid off by the Lelands & now Lexi has become a target herself. Not only has an attempt been made on her life but she is kidnapped & presumed a second attempt will also be made … The Walker’s are trying to tie up loose ends & Lexi just happens to be one of them …
There are so many things I LOVED about this book …
The cover is gorgeous & as I a reader something that immediately got my attention …
Story line
Plot
Amazing characters
Humor
Suspense
Sizzling Chemistry
Far from perfect characters with very human flaws
As a reader you want the truth to come out & justice to be served
A couple of things I would also like to mention is the author’s outstanding writing style is always so descriptive & accurate … if its a place it’s like you are there – dinner / setting you want to be eating it & sitting on the balcony watching the ocean too … everything is always so spot on descriptive it gives the reader what ever feelings they want to imagine …
I can’t say enough about how much I am enjoying everything Murphy 🙂
Great series – highly recommend it as well as anything by this author !
Bring on Declan’s story – can’t wait !!!!!
Wow, what a ride this Wicked Game series has been!
Alexa and Nick are a power couple, even though Alexa is basically running for her life. Trying to get justice for herself and for her friend that was killed in their hit and run accident years ago is proving to be a lot harder than they thought and a lot more dangerous. Dealing with heavy hitters that have all the money and connections to make things (& people) “disappear” is worse than dealing with the shady sleazy creepy violent ones. At least the crazy thugs are straightforward and easier to catch.
This is an amazing conclusion to Nick and Alexa’s heartbreaking and thrilling story.
End Game is the 3rd book in the Wicked Game series . This is Nick & Alexa’s story and they are trying to get justice for Alexa’s accident from 10 years ago that also killed her best friend. Will they bring the Walkers down or will Nick & Alexa be stopped. The book has suspense,passion and is a page turner. Another great read from Michelle St. James.
Epic finale for Nick and Alexa! I love that in the final book from each trio we get our questions answered yet there is still things lingering from the situation, and Michelle gives us exactly that with this book as well. We get the big finale we are looking for when the Walkers take things up a notch and start tying up loose ends, with Alexa being at the top of because of her very vocal stance against them. I really enjoyed the back and forth for Alexa regarding her dealing with how the Murphys do business and how she really has a hard time with it. I also love how Nick is so confident of his feelings for Alexa and ensures that he does anything in his power to protect her. The end of this storyline was my personal favorite because it’s when all the action happened and decisions are made while actions are taken on ending things once and for all with the Walkers. It’s in that situation that we see Alexa truly fight for her life and the determination and grit she once experienced come back to life. We also see Nick finally end things with one Walker, but it seems that it will cause things with the other one. I can’t wait to see what happens with the next Murphy brother and the situation with the Walkers!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Alexa and Nick are searching for incriminating evidence to take down the powerful people who are trying to kill them but keep on coming up empty handed. From beginning till end the author takes the reader from the depths of despair with the hopelessness of the situation, anger at the injustice, powerlessness and fear of what’s to come, but in the end strength, determination to live and love prevailed. What a roller-coaster ride! Loved it! Great end to Alexa and Nick’s story.
I loved this book. It is the third book in the series of Nick Murphy.
I love Alexa and Nick as a couple. She evens him out and challenges him.
Definitely a must read. Highly recommended
Michelle is a fantastic writer. I have read all her books and this one does not disappoint. I love how she writes the suspense in her books. I feel she takes you to the brink of cringing only to turn the page and you’re able to breathe.
In true Michelle St. James fashion, we get an epic ending to Alexa and Nick’s story! These two have been through so much on their own as well as a couple. With tons of action, suspense, frustration and a few questionable parts, this book kept me on my toes the entire time. Nick and Alexa come full force into some major challenges in their relationship and a few times I wondered how this might end up. Both Alexa and Nick’s love for one another runs deep and they have such a connection with each other. They fight for each other and most of all for themselves. The bravery and strength of these two have been undeniable. They are truly great main characters and individuals that many should look up to. But will they get their HEA? Only time will tell.
