What a great series!! I can’t believe I just read three books! It didn’t feel like it at all. I was so invested in Shark and Abbigail! I loved how she held her own, made her business a priority and followed her dreams no matter what Shark was offering!
All three of these books were very easy reads that kept me invested the entire time. I even found myself waxing my legs JUST so I could hide from my kids and listen to the audio book as I had it on whispersync. This was the first book that had me absolutely shocked, mouth open saying OMG! I won’t give it away but a certain someone surprised the hell out of me.
Talks of Grant and Abbigail’s sister-in-law have me VERY intrigued and knowing the series falls into into their book I can’t wait for it to release!
Abigail Gibson has finally broken through Sebastian Shark’s staunch defenses, erected through years of having to fight for his multimillion-dollar success and the skyscraper that will be his legacy.
Book 3 in this series for me is just as perplexing as the others as in how the characters react to situations that they are in, such as people dying or putting yourself into obvious stupid situations, and the way the story line stops right at that pivital point leaving a reader looking where the next part is or thinking why did they sweep that under the carpet? See I told you the way these books are written are very perplexing. The chemistry between the characters is strange, and Abigail is just an annoying tantrum throwing brat, but the sex is hot lol. In saying this I am going to continue on with the series and see if I can find the answers that I seek.
Shark’s Rise (Shark’s #3) – by Angel Payne & Victoria Blue
They say things come in three’s! In this case it’s good things come in three’s. Shark’s Rise brings us back to the crazy of Abbi and Bas’s lives.
These two lady authors have given us a hero who has become and smothering love mess and can’t leave his lady alone for long. Which is of course so sweet; sweetness in the middle of mayhem!
There is still someone out there pulling strings and putting people in danger. Even with a big contingent of investigators they’re having a hard time figuring out who is behind all of this! As much as Bas hates to pull rank, he will and Abbi knows he will, she won’t like it and she won’t go easily. Bas knows that but he loves her and he needs to protect her.
The tension rises in this book, amongst everyone. There are emotional fights, altercations, one character outs themselves as being in touch with the person pulling the strings and just to take the pressure of Bas (kidding) Abbi gets ill while living in the safe house. What’s a CEO and a man madly in love to do!
This has been an amazing trio to read, and I know there is more to come. With these two lady writers that can only mean all sorts of hell will break loose!
Loved these and looking forward to the next book!
The book was good…. but that ending made me mad. There was no conclusion. I know there will be more books following Grant but I figured they would wrap up this story then move to Grant.. Anyways this book was good.
Shark’s Rise is book three in the Shark’s Edge series and you need to read the first two books in the series before diving into this one! Sebastian and Abbigail’s love story continues and so does the threat facing them both and just wait because there is also a surprise bundle coming that is going to rock their world. I am so excited to read the rest of this series.
I just love how far Abbie and Sebastian have come. Their relationship is rocky for sure but they have so much love for each other. This third book in the series is definitely high heat and super twisty! So much is still unanswered and out of control. Bas still doesn’t know who is causing all the trouble in his personal life and his career. He only has his two best friends, his sister, and of course Abbi to lean on for support. What happens when a little shark complicated things?! Get ready for lots more twists and turns and second guesses in this book! The ending is so good, I just wanted to wrap myself up in Sebastian!
OMG im so happy right now and sad at the same time. The twists that Angel and Victoria created for Shark is just phenomenal. I cried while reading Rise. Rise begins with Abbigail being in the safe house that Seb has set up for her and things don’t go as well as he thinks they will go with her away from him. Then they get a surprise. Baz and Abbi are just the perfect couple together. This is one amazing trilogy and I cant wait for Grant’s set. BTW I love Dr Julie she sure did rip into Baz in the Hospital lol.
This picks up where Shark’s Pride ends with Abbi being taken to a “safe house” without her consent to keep her safe. She is mad a Sebastian and gets worn down when she doesn’t get any contact from him. She feels that she would be safe back in her world and is also worried about her catering business. When Sabastian finally comes to visit her, she is happy to see him even though still not happy about the situation. As time passes, all takes a toll on Abbi’s health and Sebastian finally realizes that keeping her away is doing more harm to her and their Abbi than if she was with him.
Even though the 2 reunites, danger is still out there and the mystery of whatever is going on is still not resolved. I love this series so far and can’t wait to see what’ going to happen next with book 4!
*****Spoilers*****
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!
Have loved all 3 of the stories about Abbi and Bas. Everything that I hope would happen, happened plus more. I did however feel that we still don’t know much about the people trying to destroy Bas. Looking forward to reading Grants Heat when it’s released and hopefully having the bad guys dealt with!
I would and do recommend this book to anyone. It’s just perfectly written and addictive.
What a ride to get here and what a conclusion to this topsy turvy story!! I am so awaiting the next book and so glad I took the time to stick with this series.
Shark, being the protector chooses to send Abbigail to a safe house. Well, just let me say that did not work out well and the surprises that come into play have each one of them rethinking the value of their relationship.
I am still dizzy from the ins and out of this tale. And still anticipating more of this story as we delve into Grant’s book.
What a way to go out!
4.75 stars
This is the third book in the series and what can be said is that it is all that and a bag of chips. There is a lot packed into this storyline as the suspense continues which has Sebastian making decisions for Abbi that is causing some friction between them. However, absence makes the heart grow fonder and gives Abbi the time to come to terms with what she wants along with a surprise for Sebastian. Continuing to build on the passion, mystery and suspense these two authors have weaved a magical storyline that will have readers wanting more and fortunately more is coming as the ending leaves some burning questions that need to be answered. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
Wow! Talk about ending the story with a bang. Angel Payne and Victoria Blue did an amazing of showing the intensity of Bas. Bas is a controlling alpha male who is fighting his own demons while trying to figure out his feelings for Abbi. Bas is so intense, stubborn but very much in love. Abbi is a fighter and determined to love Bas. Abbi is the perfect complement for Bas. All this happens while the suspense unfolds. The relationship between Bas & Abbi is so intense, sizzling & just straight out swoonworthy. What woman wouldn’t like to be loved with such intensity.
Amazing 3rd book in this series. The characters become more real and show us no matter what’s happened in our lives or where we are going love is something we all need and want. Never give up on yourself or your loved ones.
This is another phenomenal book in this series!! The story of Sebastian and Abigail continues where Shark’s Pride left off. Each book in this series has just gotten better and better. Sebastian is still fighting his demons and there’s so much mystery. He has Abigail tucked away in a safehouse to keep her safe. Their relationship is going through so many changes. Will it overcome all of the obstacles?
This story has twists and turns, more suspense, mystery, and action going on that keeps you entangled in their lives. You may also need a tissue so keep the Kleenex handy.
Angel Payne and Victoria Blue are an amazing duo as they prove once again!! You have to read this book but make sure you start from the beginning of the series!! I can’t wait for more!!!
Holy Shark!! This series just keeps getting better with each book. Victoria and Angel have had me on the EDGE of intense when Abbigail and Sebastian met in Shark’s Edge. Their chemistry was smoldering and growing in PRIDE and I was a absolute mess after reading the ending.
Shark’s Rise blow me away in all the ways I love Angel Payne and Victoria Blue’s writing especially as a writing duo. Sebastian and Abbi are the polar opposite of one another but with every great couple you need someone who your opposite to give you the balance and love you need. I can’t help but to fall for the people in this series and I can’t wait to read more of this series and these beautiful authors.
Really enjoyed reading Shark’s Rise. Sebastian is still his demanding self but Abbigail has captured his heart. I love the way this story is playing out just wish I could figure out who is out to get Sebastian. Every time I think I figured it out another person becomes one of my suspects. Haha! Abbigail is still her feisty, independent self. Can’t wait to read book 4.
Have mixed emotions about this book. Love Abbi and Bas, but they frustrated me so. She was so wise for her age one minute and acted like a child the next. He is a staunch, my way or the highway guy one minute and a loving, I am trying to change for the better man. I guess it does make for an interesting read. With all that Abbi was going through, I didn’t understand how she could risk things… and I found no fault with Bas’s reaction… this time I was on his side. And the book ended with the mystery still unsolved…
Speechless…
So. Many. Twists.
So. Many. Feels.
My heart…
Not going to lie, I cried… a little… okay… More than a little.
Throughout these three books, I have come to absolutely love Sebastian and Abbi but it was bittersweet once I reached the end…
Shark’s Rise is the incredible conclusion of Abbi and Sebastian as main characters.
But it is NOT the end of this crazy, crazy, crazy ride that these two authors have put me on… Oh no, it’s just the beginning baby!!
I’m not sure where to begin… This has and is my top read of 2019. This takes that award. Above every other book. This one is the one that comes to mind when someone asks me my top reads. above 470+ books. IT IS THIS ONE!
I went into this not entirely sure what to expect. I knew it would be written amazingly. I love the style the authors write with. It flows easily and it always has me falling into a plot that consumes me from the beginning. This is romantic suspense. This isn’t their norm, yet they mastered this perfectly.
I was a mess after the ending of Shark’s Pride, but after having a moment to sit back and think about it, Sebastian was just trying to do what he thought was the best for Abbi and her safety, and you can’t fault someone for that. It proved that what he feels for Abbi is like nothing he has ever felt before and he was willing to risk it all to keep her safe.
Abbi is not impressed about how he went about it, but after spending time there and spending time with Sebastian’s PI and friend Elijah, I think she gets more of an understanding of why Sebastian is the way he is.
Abbi and Bas were two characters I couldn’t help but love. They were they are their Yin to each other, Yang. though needing each other and balancing each other, yet they were so different… But worked just perfectly. Even when Bas was being the arrogant alphahole that he is, I was drawn to him and his character. He grew in bounds in book three. His priorities began to change and in the end, had to change. He faces some major things in his life and he has to work out what’s the most important person/thing to him. His job or his future with Abbi?
Throughout this plot we start getting answers to some burning questions, we also end up with more questions that need answering and I am sure they will be in the next three books to come.
I can’t help but feel that the best is yet to come and that what’s about to happen throughout this series and the following book to come is going to knock me square on my butt. I think the authors are just toying us now, baiting us and getting us ready for some major things that are about to go down and completely change the game.
To me, this was unique, extremely well written, grabbed my attention from book one and had me holding my breath all the way through till the end of book three, I was on the edge of my seat, my heart all over the place and my mind reeling. It was emotional in parts, yet it held so much suspense, drama, and mystery. At every turn, I was throw off course. Just when I thought I had figured one of the major details out, I was left sitting there second-guessing my own mind.
As I said, I went into this series not knowing what to expect. This isn’t their normal sub-genre but it damn well should be. This was beyond incredible. The twists and turns, the unknown. That uneasy gut feeling you get when something is about to happen but you do not know what or who or when… Well, this held that feeling and it was addictive!
I could tell the authors heart and soul was poured into this. The passion, heat, suspense, love, and mystery drips from these pages. It was quite the experience to read. I have read and re-read these first three books over half a dozen times and like I have said in previous reviews. I always find something new to fall in love with.
Did I mention how hot and desirable Sebastian Shark is? Woah…
Sit down, hold on tight and get ready for the ride of your life.
This is just the beginning!
I can’t rate this any less than 5 Stars and If I could rate it more. I would!
I can’t wait to explore the rest of the characters and their stories!
MUST-READ!
SHARK’S RISE (Shark’s Edge Book # 3) By Angel Payne & Victoria Blue
Angel & Victoria just keep upping the ante with drama, angst, suspense, danger, mystery, and sizzling hot chemistry with each subsequent book. Shark’s Rise is the 3rd book in the Shark series and you must have read Shark’s Edge and Shark’s Pride or you will be totally lost. I absolutely love Sebastian and Abbigail. Such an unlikely couple but so devoted in spite of everything that is trying to come between them.
Angel Payne and Victoria Blue, I believe are one of the best duos writing books. I always know I will get a great story that will keep me engaged through the whole story. I cannot wait to get to Grant’s story. I LOVED Shark’s Rise!! 5 stars since I cannot give more!
Sebastian fucking Shark!! I don’t even know where I should start or even what I should tell you … there is so much to this story so pay attention when you read it!
What an incredible ride of twist and turns and wait, what? moments all tangled up in mystery and suspense and darkness and oh my heart #feels!! When I started this journey, I was skeptical about the amount of things happening and unraveling in this story because I really wanted Sebastian and Abbigail to be the forefront of the journey and not the mystery cloak surrounding Sebastian. But these ladies did an amazing job with every single aspect of this story! There are two stories going on in this trilogy, but they are intertwined. One cannot happen without the other, but they are both distinct. We have Sebastian and Abbigail navigating the precarious journey of love and happily ever after and we have …. the other. I’m calling it the other because really, that’s all I can tell you in any kind of detail because going into this blind is the only way to go. #TRUST
From the beginning with Shark’s Edge, these ladies did an exceptional job of growing not only the plot but also Sebastian and Abbigail, as individuals and as a team. These ladies are impressive with their word wizardry << say that ten times and see how it works out for ya LOL but seriously, they have impressed me time and time again with their stories. Their voices work flawlessly together, and they are seamless. I am giddy with excitement to read more because while many questions were answered by book’s end, this story is far from over, because as I mentioned earlier, there are two storylines happening and one of them is bleeding right into Grant Twonbley’s journey. Shark Enterprises still has villains to slay and I cannot wait to see what these ladies have instore for us next! If you like your stories passionate, unpredictable, unique and extremely captivating then you’re in the right place. This story is all those things and a bag of chips #TRUST
