The affair they could never overcome… read that will rattle you… characters that will change you… and love that will last in your mind long after you’re finished… THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.
PANDORA’S PRICE
…Go big or go home… Darren gambled everything for love – for the woman he’s loved his entire adult life… and the only person he can never seem to truly understand.
Luisa can pinpoint exactly when the shift happened in their marriage – shortly after Darren hired his protégée Nicole on a whim… a ‘reckless decision’ that he never knew would cost him their marriage.
But what if she can get the love she so desperately needs… just not from her husband?
Told from both points of view, “Pandora’s Price” explores the forces that bring a marriage to its breaking point – vulnerability, mistrust and resentment – and seeks the redemption that can pull them back from the edge of destruction, and salvage everything in the face of crisis.

4 out of 5 stars
This series is amazing! I have loved every single book and I have been waiting for each book. This entire series has left me breathless. Ms. Fortune is an amazing story teller. She crafts loving and beautiful characters that you fall madly in love with.
This book, this series, shows the true love and heartache of marriage and the life of two imperfect people who are just trying to be perfect for each other.
Do not try to reach these as standalones. Read these in series order. They are incredible.
These stories are highly complex. The drama and emotion. These stories, these charactes. You will love them. You will cheer for them. grow with them and reach for them.
Highly recommended for all genre lovers.
Pandora’s Price by Sacha T. Y. Fortune is the closing of Louisa and Darren’s story and the third book in her Hart & Cole series. Quoting the writer “This is NOT a glossy love story. But if you’re looking for a romance read that will rattle you… characters that will change you… and love that will last in your mind long after you’re finished… THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.” She hit the nail right on the head! It is not your usual off-the-mill love story! The writer drags you through ups and downs and twists and turns and you hate people and they you forgive them and then you get upset with them and then you fall so deeply in love with them that you are not able to fall out of love with them when they upset you again!
As I said then this is the closing of Louisa and Darren’s story, we will live along with them and we are pushed to the point of the destruction! We stay with them when we all wonder if they are able to pull everything back together and whether they will find a way into a future while making the broken hearts whole again …
Fortunately it is the end of the series as there is so much potential and quite a few characters that are screaming for their own stories and we already know who are next in the line!

5-Stars
Pandora’s Price is the amazing third addition to this series. The novel continues to follow Luisa and Darren as the main characters as they continue to struggle with their marriage and infidelity. Sacha Fortune has done an amazing job in creating her characters. The storyline is also developed well and addictive. It was very difficult for me to put this novel down. I do believe that it is my favorite book of the series. Luisa really changed in this novel and I loved it. I highly recommend this books and the series. This novel cannot be read as a standalone and each of the books are addicting as well as their characters. I absolutely loved it!
Pandora’s Price is Book 3 in the incredible Hart & Cole Series, these books really do need to be read in order for you completely understand our main characters Darren & Luisa back story and the journey they have taken through all three books in this series! This author has continued to blow me away with her incredible jam-packed storyline, in-depth real, relatable & raw characters that each stand strong on their own and even better together.
This book was once again raw & real and made you completely and utterly captivated from the start, you couldn’t put this book down until the very end. Then when you have finished the read, it sticks with you for hours later.
These books in this series, really do stand out from the rest, it’s emotional, raw and above all, it has incredible characters and an even better real & raw storyline that is utterly compelling from start to finish!
I can’t wait to see where else she takes this series, I can already guarantee whatever this author writes it will be epic!
Pandora’s Price (Hart & Cole Book 3) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné is an explosive continuation of the story so far. So be warned read the books in order. Everything is out on the table all the secrets and lies have come to a head and show that we are all caught up in our own thoughts of what happened that we sometimes need to take a step back and re-evaluate all that we have done and seen. When tragedy strikes the vultures come out and nothing and I mean nothing is off limits when you are in the spot light. But it takes a tragedy to show just what you have sometimes and what you will do to keep it. Privacy is no longer your own and all your dirty underwear is hanging on the line for all to see.
I thought this was the end of the series but I was happily surprised to see that there is more.
Pandora’s Price by Sacha T. Y. Fortune is the third book in the Hart and Cole series. You do need to read this series in order as each one builds on the story the author has created and reading them out of order would diminish your understanding and enjoyment of them.
This book is just as good and intriguing as the other ones have been. I found myself turning the pages quick as I had to find out what would happen. I connected with the characters easily and really became invested in their story.
This is a very well written and complex book and one I would definitely recommend.
Pandora’s Price is book 3 in the Hart and Cole series by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné . Loved, loved, loved this book one of my favorite in this series. In book 3 we get to learn more about Darren and Luisa in there life and marriage and although its not all sunshine and butterfly’s there story is beautiful and captivating. I could read about them all day long. Everything this couple has gone through keeps you wanting to read more and more. Sacha Did a wonderful job keeping you engrossed in this series. The only bad part of this book was it ending!!!!! I highly recommend this series to readers and I would read in order!!!! I really hope this will not be the last book in the Hart and Cole series.
Pandora’s Price is the 3rd book in the fantastic Hart and Cole series by Sacha T Y Fortune. I have to say that this book has been, by far, my favourite of the 3 books so far.
Starting from where the 2nd book Pandora’s Poison left off, this book had me totally gripped the whole way through. I really could not put this book down. There is so much angst and emotion that you cannot help but end up with matchsticks keeping your eyes open as you stayed up too late reading the night before as you just had to keep reading to see what happened next.
This book gave me conflicting emotions. I still loved Darren and Kris and still hated Nicole with a passion. But whereas I hated both Luisa and Gianna in Pandora’s Poison, I found a lot more empathy for both of them in this book. I really felt sorry for Gianni on many occasions but there were also many times I really liked and admired him.
This book has so many twists and turns. Just as you think you know where the story is going…boom! – you are taken in a new direction.
In the words of the author herself ***Real emotion. Real life. Real love. This is NOT a glossy love story. But if you’re looking for a romance read that will rattle you… characters that will change you… and love that will last in your mind long after you’re finished… THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.***
5 Stars
Pandora’s Price is the third book in the Hart & Cole Series by Sacha T.Y Fortuné . Right from the first book Ms. Fortuné had me hooked. It isn’t a ‘sunshine and rainbows’ story that’s for sure, it is a raw and at times a ‘warts and all’ account, which made the story and the characters very real, and entirely believable. This is the continuation of Darren and Luisa’s story.
I really recommend reading the other two books before beginning on this one, because there are recurring characters, shared events, and other relevant details that you should know in order to get the most out of your reading experience. At the very least, you need to read book two before starting this one, as Darren and Luisa’s story continues from book #2.
From the beautiful cover/s, to the multidimensional characters, intricate storyline, and brilliant detailing- this book ticks all the boxes. It takes us on a journey through the inner workings of a marriage- the love, obstacles, insecurities, trust, compromises, forgiveness, doubts, pressures, infidelity, communication, commitment, passion, and pain- which can play an important part in the success or failure of a relationship.
There are intense moments, dramatic details, surprising developments, passionate encounters, believable dialogue, and complex characters who you will want to know more about, and who will draw you into their story and into the rollercoaster ride that is their relationship/s. It was intriguing, emotive and incredibly well written. Can’t wait to read book #4, “Below the Surface” as it looks set to be fantastic!
Thank you, Ms. Fortuné!
This is the third book in this series, I highly suggest reading all books from the beginning to help enrich your enjoyment of this series. In this book we get to see what pushes Darren and Luisa’s marriage to the point of their destruction. Will they be able to pull every thing back together, make broken hearts whole again? I loved these characters but they did make me frustrated in parts with their action but they did make the story, they made it real for me as well. This is a must read!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There aren’t enough star ratings to give this book, this author, this series…5 stars just aren’t enough!!
I have been sitting here staring at my screen for no less than 10 minutes trying to figure out a way to review this book, I actually titled this review this morning and have had to walk away from it a few times. I just don’t have words to do this review justice and that makes me so so sad. I’ve gone back to my other reviews of the first 2 and feel like there’s still so much more to say. This author is Phenomenal…Brilliant in her storytelling. I kept trying to slow myself down because of many reasons, one I was so afraid all the time of what was going to happen, and two I just didn’t want it to end.
She transported me directly into this book, I was there, I watched all this happen and felt every single emotion that has ever been named, I even felt the texture of the walls of the different scenes. I don’t know how to explain how real this story felt and OMG the relationships in this whole series were Amazing but this book took a couple relationship to new heights, and I’m not even talking about romantic relationships…I am so in love with these people, A couple I liked a little earlier in the series then disliked them then ended with loving almost every one of them. What a ride this author has took me on in these books, and now to find out there’s another?
**faints**
MUST HAVE THESE ON MY BOOKSHELF, I want to read them again right now but wont until I get the physical copies of these in my hands… I have favorite authors, we all do, those authors that we just one click because of their name being on the cover, my list is broken up into a couple categories..This author and this series are on my favorites of all time list and I don’t care what I read in the future, how many more get added to those lists, this author and this series will always hold one of the top spots… I love everything about these books!
I pray this author comes to a signing close to me because I promise no matter what I’m doing I will be there, I have to meet her and tell her how very much I love her writing and her books!
This in my opinion is a MUST READ series…Do not for any reason read this out of order…There are no ifs ands or buts, you will lose so much of this if you don’t read every one of them!
Phenomenally Brilliant!!!
I enjoyed this story between Luisa and Darren who struggled to relate in their marriage, especially when Luisa had a daughter with another man. The plot was interesting, and the intense issues challenge the most resilient of hearts. I enjoyed the deep dive and intensity of the characters’ emotions, motivations, and thoughts. I loved and hated some of the characters like Nicole, and Luisa at times., but I understood their perspectives and why they behaved the way they did. Well worth the read.
This is the third novel of the story and it is highly recommend you read them in order it won’t feel complete or have the proper build up if you don’t. I absolutely love love love this series it’s not all hearts and flowers it’s real and gritty which is what i enjoyed it makes the storyline so captivating and i just couldn’t tear myself away from this story until i reached the end but I’m still left wanting more from this author!

How this author expects me to complete full thoughts and sentences after this book, is beyond me right now!
This series MUST be read in order, all books pick up where the last left off.
Pandora’s Price follows the POV of Darren and Luisa again, and the continuation of the deal Darren made. The emotions packed into this book, made me feel like I was dealing with pregnancy hormones with the ups and downs and shocking moments.
I cannot express how much of a must read this series is, it’s something to experience for sure. And I can’t wait for the next book and getting to know those characters now.

Pandora’s Price by Sacha T.Y. Fortuné is the the third installment of the Hart & Cole Series.This book is the continuation of Darren and Luisa’s story, which starts off from where book 2 ended. This book is not a standalone and must read books 1 & 2 to get the back story on the characters in the story. This series is not your typical “love story”, there are everyday issues that go on in real marriages and relationships. This story touches on the subject of infidelity and how it affects more than one couple. You can’t get any closer to real life in this story, as Sacha T.Y. Fortuné has written a jaw dropping and raw storyline. I am completely hooked to this series and can’t wait for the next book in the series.
COMPELLING to your core!
A fantastic well written read with a nice flow of twists that will rattle you to your core from the first page to the last and will have you pleading for more. A whirlwind of emotions and sizzling popping chemistry. This is one of those reads that will get under your skin and continue to stick with you from one read to the next. I can’t wait to read more. Get it and read it and prepare your self for a beautifully written emotional rollercoaster ride!!
Please do not read this series out of order. You will be doing yourself and the author a disservice.
This is one of those unexplainable series that took me on such an emotional ride. There is so much realism in the writing that it was like watching relationships my friends are involved in. There are so many personalities and events that take place in this series. Like I’ve said in a previous review, this is not all unicorns and glittery rainbows, it’s raw and emotional and real. I know I’m repeating myself.
Told in dual POV, we are invited in to understand both sides of the story. As a result of that, opinions of events changed as the series continued.
A multi-dimensional story with complex characters, I definitely recommend reading this series.

by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
Wow this book contains so much emotion. The other books in this series are just as emotional and should be read in order. I wish I could convey how this book made me feel every emotion, I have found myself completely invested in their lives. This author did an exceptional job weaving such an extraordinary story that you can’t peel your eyes away. Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down till I knew what was going on. I highly recommend this book, you won’t want to miss out on a great series.
Pandora’s Price is the third book in the Hart & Cole series by Sacha T. Y. Fortune. As this is the third book, I would highly recommend reading the other two books first. Ms. Fortune has a knack for getting me hook on the first book and I could not wait to read the other two books. There is action, mystery, plus all the emotions that go into a marriage. Her characters are complex and really easy to like one minute and dislike the next minute. I have tried to read this story and be one with Luisa to see what she was seeing and feeling. I felt all the raw emotions of Luisa. I could not help but to bond with Luise, I felt like she was a friend and tried to talk to her (even though she could not hear me) about what I was seeing. There is so much more to this story I want to leave this up to you to go through all the emotions, thrills, and chills on your own.
Thank you Sacha T.Y. Fortune this was an awesome series.
This series has completely hooked me from the very beginning to the point I’m slightly obsessed with it. This is book 3 in the Hart & Cole dynamic series and it blew me away!
In this book we dive more into Darren and Luisa’s marriage. Their marriage has a lot of ups and downs but what marriage doesn’t but their story will captivate you. It’s not an easy story to read emotionally but I loved every single page of it.
Miss Fortune has a beautiful way with words. This series is such a griping read. I’ve been hooked since book one and I’m dying for more. DEFINITELY don’t read as a standalone. There is so much story in the other books that they need to be read in order. This author has made my top must read list!
