Omg i love how it flows and how the surprises are so funny. It is hard to not yell at the book and tell someone to stop thinking and just go with your heart. They dont listen.
Love this book. I’ve read the whole series. I cannot find any books that even come close to be as good as these are!!!
I wasn’t certain what to expect from Honor and Zane’s story as they are both so headstrong and stubborn but honestly, this is one of my favorites. With loads of drama and suspense this book will keep you guessing at every turn.
This third book of the Cliffside Bay series is all about Zane and Honor. They have been dancing around one another for a long time and in the last several months things have intensified. It could be related to that one night….
This one may just be my favorite one so far. This series definitely keeps getting better with each book. There’s more drama and trauma in this one which makes things a lot tenser. Zane and Honor both suffer from abandonment issues. It gives them a connection, but it also is a roadblock to their relationship. Just when things are at a make-or-break point, Honor’s past comes back to haunt her. Jaded has a little of everything in it. It’s a good one!
In this 3rd installment bring the tissues! Honor had a hard life and fought hard to get where she is, Zane also has not had it easy. When they discover each other’s pasts it shines a new light in their love. They think all is well and life throws them a difficult and sad turn of events, their love finds a way to make it ! Add in all the Cliffside Bay characters and this book is the perfect romantic suspense filled novel that you will not be able to put down !!
Tess Thompson pulls the readers into the town of Cliffside Bay with her wonderful writing. Zane and Honor’s story is no different. I found my heart breaking for the struggles these two characters faced in the past and rooting for them to give in to the love they feel for each other. I love how through Honor and Zane’s story we get to continue the stories of their friends.
Zane and Honor both have insecurities that try to keep them apart, but the attraction they feel is even stronger. I very much enjoyed this third book in the series. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, I got angry. All the feelings were drawn out.
Zane runs the town bar in Cliffside Bay. Honor is Brody’s manager. They both have feelings for each other. But neither will admit to them! Honor has trust issues with guys, because of how she was treated in her past by various males in her life. Zane has trust issues with women, because of his ex-fiancée breaking off their engagement for someone else. Neither wants to be rejected. This was a great read! They both decide to let go of their fears and open up to one another and discover their feelings for each other. In the end, they form a beautiful relationship together as they both learn to let their guards down and trust! Yet, another great Cliffside Bay story!!
I feel Jaded is the best thus far in the Cliffside Bay series. Tess Thompson not only creates a beautiful love story she introduces several other issues as well. She touches on adoption, rejection, revenge, death and self doubt. Just like the 1st two in the series, this story can be stand alone. Im impressed by the author’s ability to create such a romantic story without the use of crude or vulgar language. I highly recommend this series.
Another great book about the dogs. Zane and Honor overcome many obstacles as their story unfolds. With every page you get deeper and deeper into their story. I felt many emotions from laughing out loud to tears. This is a book you won’t want to stop reading.
Zane and Honor’s book is a great read. The two of them have feelings for each other but are too stubborn to act in them. These two have a knack for sticking their foot in their mouth.
I loved getting their story and look forward for the next book! I love the stories of the Dogs and the women who love them.
Abandonment. Left by you mother because you weren’t good enough. The wedding that wasn’t because she ran off with the best man. Zane is jaded. Rejected by foster parents, sexually abused and a cancer survivor Honor has her own past that has her. . . jaded. These two have so much to battle through and when Honor gets threatened the Dogs all come out to protect. . . even Zane. Their troubles are put to the side but still the tension between them grows. Zane has plenty of sucking up to do and Honor, well she has some stuff to work through as well.
The thing I love about these standalone read is the camaraderie of the guys. The women expand their special family and bring out the softer side of the guys but round out their crew nicely. The author does a great job of adding the suspense and keeps the energy high. It’s a great read and a welcome addition to the series.
Jaded is Zane and Honor’s story. It is the third book in the Cliffside Bay Series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend starting with Traded. You won’t regret it. These books are amazing!
I wish I could give this book 10 stars, it’s just that good. Have a box of Kleenex because this book has all the feels. At times I was hopeful, angry, sad, heartbroken and overcome with joy. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough or put it down. All of the characters seem so real, it’s like you are right there beside them and watching it all play out.
If you’ve never been to Cliffside Bay, it’s a very small town in California, that’s off the map. Everyone knows everyone, and they don’t like outsiders. Zane was born and raised there. He took over the family business after college. Honor moved to Cliffside Bay at the age of 18, after inheriting property from an Aunt she never knew. Honor has had a crush on Zane since the first time she met him, but he went away to college. Well, let’s just say, he notices her now!
Both characters are broken in their own way. They are both dealing with abandonment and not feeling worthy of love. Join them in their journey that takes them through dealing with tragedy and loss, confronting the past, everything happens for a reason and realizing that family isn’t only just by blood. Family is who you choose to surround yourself with, and that that can be enough.
Another thing I love about this book, is that we still get to catch up on all of the other characters. Cliffside Bay is such a wonderful place, you’ll never want to leave!
This book kept me going and I loved the characters and the storyline. This author is amazing and I will be reading all her books for sure!!
I absolutely love the Cliffside Bay series by Tess Thompson. This is the third book in the series and they just keep getting better and better. I also enjoy how the featured couple in each book tell their stories through alternating chapters. They also intermingle with the other couples and friends from the previous two books which I would suggest reading in order. From the small town feel, with everyone knowing each other, to the sun, beach and ocean it’s a feel good kind of book! Although there are many twists and turns, along with shocking moments, happy and sad times along the way you’ll be doing yourself a favor by reading this awesome series. I’m anxiously awaiting the next book in this series called Marred.
Thank you to Tess Thompson for this well deserved 5 star story!
We had been teased about this couple in the previous books in the series. We knew a bit about their history but this one obviously goes into more depth on what Zane and Honor are truly like. I enjoyed this book but maybe not quite as much as the first two in the series. I felt there wasn’t enough conflict with them. It seemed almost too easy for them. I did like learning more about Zane’s past, and his abandonment issues. I really liked Honor in this book. I wasn’t that much of a fan of hers from the previous two but learning about her past and what she had to go through growing up and to realize she still turned into a wonderful woman made me look at her differently. Overall I enjoyed reading about Zane and Honor. And of course keeping up with the other Dogs and their ladies. Now the question is who is the next book about? Will we learn about Kyle or Lance? I’m eagerly waiting to find out!

Tess has done it again! She makes you fall so in love with the characters that you are not prepared for the ending! Honor and Zane may have each been handed a crappy deck of cards but they have so much strength and love that it knows no bounds.They show you what happiness is supposed to be even when life sucks and there is a madman on the loose.
After having read the first two books in the series, this one was eagerly anticipated, and did not disappoint! I love how each book tells the story of one couple, but they all enter twine to create a world where we get to know the entire friend group. Two Thumbs Up! I can’t wait for more!
What a delightful book. I read this book mid series and loved it. I can’t wait to go back and read from the beginning. Lots of wonderful characters, but the main ones, Zane and Honor, really touched my heart with their stories and their love for one another. And of course Jubie stole the whole book.
I have read the previous books in the Cliffside Bay series, and everytime, I fall in love all over again, with the “dogs”, and the ladies they love. Zane and Honor drove me crazy. I wanted to just shake some sense into them, and rejoice in their love, all at the same time. The characters make me want to pull up a chair and share dinner and a good glass of wine with great friends! “Framily” is a good way to describe the group in these books. I love how Tess uncovers a new layer of their relationships in every book. Excellent writing, and I am excited for the next one!
