SHARK’S RISE is the third instalment in the contemporary, adult SHARK’S erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Angel Payne and Victoria Blue. SHARK’S RISE is the continuing story of billionaire real-estate developer Sebastian Shark, and caterer Abbigail Gibson, and should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two SHARK’S PRIDE.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Sebastian and Abbigail) SHARK’S RISE focuses on the relationship between billionaire real-estate developer Sebastian Shark, and caterer Abbigail Gibson. At the end of Shark’s Pride, Sebastian had hidden Abbigail Gibson away from the public eye in an effort to protect her from possible harm. Sebastian was battling between head and heart when the threats against his business and his life had taken a more personal turn, as the number of dead women connected to his past, pulled him further into an investigation that was quickly growing out of control. Believing the ‘threats’ had come from one of two sources, Sebastian sent Abbigail into hiding only to discover that not all was well in Abbigail’s life. Hoping to reconnect with the woman he loved, Sebastian heads to Abbigail only to discover that truth behind Abbigail’s quickly deteriorating condition.
The relationship between Abbigail and Sebastian is intense and highly erotic. Days apart further complicates their need for one another, a need that is matched by the passion, anger and palpable sexual energy. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive but I continue to struggle with the use of a certain four-letter word in my ‘romance’ story lines.
The world building takes an abrupt turn away from, and pause in the growing suspense surrounding the implied threats to our story line couple although the body count will increase by one more but saying that the authors have chosen to focus mainly on the relationship between Sebastian and Abbigail, and Abbigail’s time spent away from the man that she loves, leaving numerous questions unanswered about the who and why behind the questionable deaths. The next instalment -Grant’s Heat-follows Sebastian’s best friend Grant Twombley, and Abbgail’s business partner / sister in law Rio Gibson. SHARK’S RISE is by no means the conclusion to Abbigail and Sebastian’s story but more of a happily ever after -for now-as the authors will now focus on Grant and Rio.
SHARK’S RISE is a story of love and desperation as one man struggles to protect the woman that calls to his heart. The premise is entertaining, enticing and diverting; the romance is hot and steamy; the characters are spirited and lively. Here’s hoping for a resolution and damage control to the ongoing death and destruction surround Sebastian Shark.

Shark’s Rise (Shark’s Edge Book 3)
This book was phenomenal, easily one of my favorite books of 2019! Can Abbi break down the walls of titan Sebastian? Will his enimies ruin his chance at something real? Will his empire withstand the peril? This book was a wild, twisting ride! I felt all the emotions right along with these wonderfully scalpted characters. This book will not disappoint, and the Sharks Edge Series will definitely be at the top of my favorite books for years to come!
Shark’s Rise is the continuing story of Sebastian Shark and Abbigail Gibson.
I love these characters and the growth of their relationship, it’s both sexy and beautiful how Sebastian and Abbigail are finding their way on this new journey. I was a little bit disappointed with how the story ended, no real answers on the person who seems out to get Sebastian, we were just kinda left hanging.
Overall though this was a good read with plenty of sexy banter between characters. Maybe Grant’s book will have answers.
Oh man the felt too short. The 3rd installment was so good I didn’t want it to end and looking ahead to Grants Heat I know there is going to be some major stuff coming down the pike. Sebastian is such a perfect Alpha male even though Abbi is anything but submissive. Their relationship gives me all the feels. This series has everything you could want, hot alpha male, strong independent woman, lots of steamy lovin and a wonderful love story. As much as I fear what is coming next for Rio and Grant I cannot wait to read the next book. As with the other books the narrators on the audio version where perfection but I expect nothing less with Jacob Morgan and Erin Mallon.
So many questions left open!! Abbi and Sebastian re-unite during her time tucked away. Sebastian begins to open his heart more to Abbi’s love and the unexpected circumstances that arise for them to deal with going forward. More twists and turns come in with Terryn and what happens with her. Will Sebastian and Abbi ever have answers to who is trying to sabotage Sebastian? I can’t believe that book 3 left me with so many open questions….they just keep adding up. So many unanswered questions that I can’t wait to read Grant’s story and hopefully get some answers to some of them!
Shark’s Rise is a rollercoaster ride full of mystery, danger, and surprises. Book 3 did not disappoint because it solidified Sebastian and Abigail’s relationship.
In Shark’s Rise, the danger in Sebastian’s is still present so he has to make a decision that is best for himself and Abigail. He makes the decision to hide her and keep her safe. Although he did it with the best of intentions, this puts a strain on their relationship. Abigail is spending most of her days missing her man and she is tired of it.
They also have to deal with Abigail’s health. Everyone notices that she is struggling and isn’t herself.
They both have to decide if the danger is worth the time spent apart.
I give Shark’s Rise 5 stars. It’s intense and desperate. Sebastian and Abigail’s relationship is tested but they never lose their love for each other. Angel Payne and Victoria Blue wrote another great story in this series.
Shark’s Rise is filled with danger you won’t see coming! With multiple threats and problems to solve, this is a journey you won’t be able to get enough of. I stayed up til almost 3am to finish each of these books (the downside to waiting until bedtime to start reading a new book, lol), and couldn’t stop thinking about the story for days. The authors take Abbi and Bas’s story to a whole new level with this book. While it doesn’t tie everything up, you get enough answers to hold you over until Grant’s story is released in May. This is definitely a series you don’t want to miss out on!
Ugh the twist an turns in this book!! I was for sure that the secretary had more to do it with. An then bam. Never would have thought it was going in the direction it did. But can she really tame Sebastian? Are they really ready for what is going to happen next? I need answers lol. This is a page Turner an the suspense is on point!! This series is a must read!
Someone call 9-1-1…..my heart can’t take it! I NEED MORE NOW!!!!!!!!
This was ANOTHER Ah-May-Zing book in this series. I’m still left with so many questions, emotions, and happiness. I was literally on the….EDGE of my seat reading this book. This has definitely been my top read this read. I can’t wait to see what Shark’s Edge brings in 2020!
I can’t believe this is it – I NEED more Bas & Abbi. Their story was amazing & I loved every bit of it.
Just when you think a series can’t get any better, they release Sharks Rise which is the third book in the Sharks Edge series. This book was amazing, the suspense leaves you on the edge of your seat. You must read the first two books in this series Sharks Edge and Sharks Pride prior to reading this one. This one picks up where Sharks Pride left off and I swear Abbigail and Sebastian’s chemistry has increased in this book. Abbigail has finally broken thru Sebastian’s walls. When everything starts coming crashing down around him, he sends away Abbigail to protect her. But is he really protecting her when health starts to crash? Can they move past all the fear and live a happier life?
Shark’s Rise is book 3 of the Shark’s Edge series and the conclusion of Bas and Abbigail’s story, though this is not the end of the series. I seriously can’t wait for the next one!
This was truly a romance suspense story and it had answered many questions while at the same, has me asking even more questions. Bass thought he did the right thing by forcing Abbigail away to a safe place while he deals with the threats coming towards the two and his empire. A revelation makes this even more stressful as Abbigail’s health starts to decline. She can’t stay away hidden long and it’s taking a toll on her. The couple is put to the test and wow, is there a lot that happens.
These two lovers really complete each other and Bass lets down his walls, showing that he truly loves Abbigail.
The only thing that did get me a little was the revelation. While it is a happy moment, I feel that for one, it’s too soon, and it’s something I feel shouldn’t be used as way to make the relationship real or grounded or however you want to say it. I felt it doesn’t need it to make it a happily ever after and it was done with another series.
Other than that, this was a great read and I am so ready for Grant!
5 stars!
The turmoil they have been through and the hurdles they have to overcome are becoming a strain on their relationship. Sequestered with someone she barely tolerates and away from the one she loves, Abbigail’s health begins to wear down.
Sebastian is going out of his mind without her but knows he is protecting her. But everything changes in a blink!
A new threat and a new revelation put a whole new spin on things. Security could not be tighter and the battle of wills between our couple gets a major test.
You will swing between wanting to throttle them both. You will find yourself changing sides in the argument. But in the end, you may shed a few tears and cheer them both on. I am anxious to continue but I have to admit, I am a little more than worried about what comes next. Bring on the Sharks!
Shark’s Rise is AMAZING! I am loving this series
This one picks up where Pride left off. Sebastian is so intense and the chemistry between him and Abigail is off the charts. With the dangers so close, will they hold on to their relationship??
Absolutely amazing writing team ladies!!!
Shark’s Rise! This series just gets better and better with each book I read.
It starts out with, Shark’s Edge, where, Sebastian Shark and Abbigail Gibson meet. Their chemistry is as hot as molten lava.
In Shark’s Pride, the connection between Bas and Abbi continued to grow, and so did, Sebastian’s need to dominate Abbigail, throughout. Bas was making demands on Abbi, that she wasn’t willing to bend too. Until, Sebastian made her bend. The end of Shark’s Pride concluded with Abbi being forcefully removed from Shark Enterprise. Of course in his mind, it was all in her best interest.
Shark’s Rise, picks up with Abbi having been taken to a “safe house,” to ensure that whoever was trying to take him down, wouldn’t take her from him. But was he doing the right thing? Keeping, Abbi locked away like a prisoner, was taking a toll on her. They receive some news that neither expected. Things changed, with this news. But did it change how things worked?
This book had tears free-falling from my eyes. I love the love that Bas and Abbi share.
Read Shark’s Rise to learn what, Sebastian’s overbearing actions did and why things changed between them.
You’ll need to start this series with Shark’s Edge, then Shark’s Pride and on to Shark’s Rise for the conclusion.
Angel Payne and Victoria Blue, have another 5 star series on their hands, and I’m looking forward to continuing this series with Grant’s Heat.
A completely mindblowing conclusion for this amazing couple. There are so many twists and turns you begin to question how this will all turn out. The writing keeps you on your toes and teases you to the point where you won’t be able to put this book down. The plot is incredible and these two ladies have completely rocked my world. This is truly a series you don’t want to miss.
Sweet, sexy, unexpected….
Sebastian Shark will steal more than your breath, he will steal your heart and soul!!
This was an amazing read, it’s more than a love story, it’s suspenseful, makes desperately want to know who’s behind it all so our heroines can be free and happy.
I can just say I’m more in love with this series as I read each page, they are filled with a passion and draws you in right away, Angel and Victoria are a wonderful team, so talented and passionate and transfer that into words for us to enjoy.
What an amazing ending to Sebastian & Abi’s story. Watching them continue to grow as a couple as well as individuals
Shark’s Rise is the 3rd book in the Shark’s Series.
At the end of Shark’s Pride Sebastian has sent Abbi away to keep her safe. Shark’s Rise picks up at the hideout where Sebastian has sent her and she is not happy. She makes it miserable for all to be around her.
But when Sebastian and Abbi reunite the sex is electrifying between them.
Sebastian is forced to bring Abbi home when her health is failing her and the story continues.
The Shark’s series is not a standalone so the story needs to start at the beginning.
Reading order so far is:
Shark’s Edge, Shark’s Pride and Shark’s Rise.
It looks like Grant’s story begins in the next book Grant’s Heat. Grant Twombly is Sebastian’s right hand man.
As I have said in the previous reviews these ladies write together seamlessly! I am loving this series and can’t wait to get started on the next book! 4.5 stars.
Sebastian Shark has sent Abbigail to a safe house. With all the trouble surrounding him and the attacks against him he wants to try to keep her safe.
Abbigail is sent to a remote location and since arriving has not felt well. She is unable to eat, starts to lose weight, and has lost all patience with the guy put in place to protect her. He’s a dominant force and is relentlessly pushing her.
So when he tries to explain what is going on with her, she pushes back until she realizes what he said could probably be true. She finds out that she is pregnant. And she must tell Sebastian.
However, her pregnancy is not easy. But, she refuses to be away from Sebastian any longer. She demands that he take her home.
He takes her home with more security in place. Now with even more problems with The Edge underway, and another body showing up on Sebastian’s property, he’s now got more to worry about.
Especially when Abby ends up in the hospital with pushing herself to help out at her catering company.
As we continue to see how the story will unfold and who is behind all the issues surrounding Sebastian Shark…..
