The last book in the trilogy did not disappoint. So many twists and turns. So many emotions. Just amazing! Faith’s inner battle with herself. WHEW! Loved it.
Five golden stars! Tears of Gold is a book that shines in ink, wrap you in glass and set you free in gold.
For Lord’s sake! I’m speechless after reading the last instalment in the Tears of Ink Trilogy. I happily say that I survived to the most addictive, consuming, devastating and fricking amazing series. My heart is still beating so fast like the wings of a wee hummingbird, there are dried tears on my cheeks, tears that were from sadness to happiness. I did experience a roll coaster of emotions that overwhelmed my poor and delicate heart. Tears of Gold destroyed me in the best way possible a book can do. Anna Bloom ruined me with her flawless writing. I knew in my heart that I would lose myself over this trilogy: from the moment I read the first page of Tears of Ink, the first book in the series, to the last page of Tears of Gold, the conclusion of this wonderful series.
The story of Faith and Elijah has been full of emotion, pain, strength, love, hope, tears and happiness. I loved every moment of this complex and intense characters. They will always have a special place in my heart. Both are broken pieces of the same soul. They came from different worlds that collide as the way stars are made. Their romance is a broken poem of love and fight wrapped in art, aristocracy and tears. Anna Bloom managed to give us a beautiful ending to their story.
This book is everything and more, so much more. All bets were against Faith and Elijah but their love was stronger despite all the struggles and obstacles life and the Faircloughs kept throwing at them. It was a constant war that never left them rest. Each obstacle made them stronger. Faith and Elijah found strength in each other. They outplayed the Faircloughs with everything they were, a strong couple who loved hard and fought even harder. But there were also some ghosts of the past and demons of the present who threatened their future. Honesty and love were their armours and hope and forgiveness were their weapons until the end.
Faith and Elijah were two people so lost, so betrayed, but they found each other in the right moment of solace. All of that in ink, glass and gold. Their journey was poetically and beautifully intense from the beginning to the end.
“Una prosa cautivadora y hermosa que teje una gran cantidad de emoción y crea una conexión con los personajes que te hacen sentir como si estuvieras en la habitación con ellos, compartir cada desamor y celebrar con ellos, ha hecho de esta serie, una de mis favoritas de todos los tiempos.”
Tears of Gold is a book that shines in ink, wrap you in glass and set you free in gold.
Eli and Faith have been through so much in these books. This is the third and final book in the trilogy. Just when things seem to be going good, the past comes back to haunt them. Will the couple find a way to have happiness? A good read and great ending to the trilogy.
There’s been nothing easy about their relationship. They have had to fight for every smile and good moment. Their passion and fire have healed them in many ways, breaking all the rules for someone whose rules saved them. Now as everything starts to tumble and crumble around them, now that the sharks are smelling blood, now that she has to fight and not run, can they make it? So many secrets. So many lies. All of it will come out. Will she run? His greatest fear is that his love isn’t enough. Her greatest fear is she will think her a monster when he finds out. These two will break your heart, they can’t help it. You will talk to your kindle so be careful of where you read it. There are characters you will absolutely want to reach out and touch. . . and by the end that touch will change. This author and this series have not disappointed. Each book, each couple has had to dig deep. The battle for these tears and yes there will be tears will be fought on many levels. In the end those tears of gold will be treasured as they are meant to be.
Tears of Gold is bittersweet. It’s the last book to this amazing series by Ms. Anna Bloom and it was incredible. Everything and more that was anticipated, but I am devastated that it’s come to an end.
Elijah and Faith have wormed they’re way into my heart and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it, their journey together. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It was truly amazing.
In the final book, we get some much-needed answers that have been nagging at me for a while now. We see these two come together and beat every obstacle that was thrown their way. It was certainly not an easy road for these two… I mean it really wasn’t and at times the author had me wondering if we would even get this happily ever after. But like always, she delivered it and in a tremendous way.
Faith starts to become stronger, she starts being the person she was always meant to be, a fighter, a survivor. She is overcoming things from her past and I could notice a big change in her. I loved watching her grow, watching her get stronger and beat the monsters and demons from her present and her past. She is such a strong character and Ms. Broom created her perfectly.
I loved seeing how Elijah grew too, how Faith changed him and the way he was with her, these two were meant for each other and I knew that from the very beginning.
This was a phenomenal end to what is an amazing series, A MUST READ! Do not delay like I did. READ IT! You won’t be disappointed.
“You’re my ray of golden sun.” “Covered in ink” “Decorated in art”
What an amazing journey and trilogy from Anna Bloom.
Please note that this book cannot be read as a standalone, this is the final book in Faith and Elijah’s story but not the last in the series.
When I first started reading about Faith from the very first book Tears of Ink, I ever expected the young college girl who hid behind her Ink to become the amazingly strong woman I read about in Tears of Gold.
Faith was a victim of sexual abuse from her stepbrother for years, after leaving home she found her escape in one night stands and in her artwork, she was a loner, an introvert. Today Faith is a woman facing her past to embrace her future with Eli.
A beautiful story of growth, standing up for one’s self and fighting for what you want. This young woman with tattoos not only embraced a different way of life but also didn’t allow it to mold her. There were changes in Eli too, he was no longer going along with his Grandmothers demands, the aristocracy way of life but making his own choices.
I liked both characters and I felt connected not only with them but with other characters who were a part of Eli and Faith’s journey and I am looking forward to more in this series.
Ana Bloom’s writing puts you at ease, I followed this trilogy with ease and enjoyed her way of writing, there was angst and drama in all the right places along with hotness and happiness, a brilliant balance in a romance read.
Told In first person pov and leads to a hea. Contains talk of abuse but does not go into graphic details.
as Faith plans her wedding to Elijah, she remembers and faces the past, as the past and future collide and hearts are broken will Faith run? Will they be able to over come the next challenge? Will their love survive?
I loved this whole series couldn’t wait to see what happened next and couldn’t put it down
Best heart-wrecking and heart-warming conclusion to the series. Full of angst. Just simply wonderful!
And what do I write now? Fantastic, awesome, great conclusion to the story of Faith and Elijah. Heartbreaking at moments, events described by words that literally took my breath away at times. I cried, I smiled, I was impatient, I wanted to smack someone or something, wanted some dramatic moments to end as quickly as possible and for the ray of sunshine to come through the stormy clouds.
If some of you didn’t read the first two parts just quickly go and grab them. I’m sure you will be as immersed with the story as I was and it was from the very start of the series.
I can’t comprehend in my head how long of a journey this two just went through. All the good and bad moments. And sometimes when you think there’s nothing more evil waiting, lurking, that all that was there to be thrown your way was already thrown… there’s another curve ball and it’s just unbelievable what the world and people that surrounds you could do to make your life miserable.
I loved every single sentence in this book, all perfectly developed characters, even not so nice ones.
This book rekindled in me this little spark that says that no matter what, if we fight we can win and really have what we want. We just need to be very determined and get up every time something brings us down.
I loved the series very much and for sure on my list to re-read. Can’t wait for Dan’s story to come.
I would definitely read book 1 and 2 before starting this book. This one took me a while to get into it and I struggled with Faith and Eli and how they handledni some things but I did love that Faith learned to stand up for herself. But her gut reaction is to run and sometimes even when she stays its like she’s really not there. This book.has lots of drama, some angst and lots of hot moments. Im glad that Faith finally gives in and works through all her issues so she can continue too be her bada*s self.
“Grief and heartache chase us all, toying with us from within the depths of shadows we can’t escape”
Wow – this entire trilogy evoked a roller coaster of emotions in me.
From the rough start in book one to the heartbreak and loss in book two, and finally the emotionally raw conclusion that is book three.
This is NOT a standalone. I am going to assume you have read the first two books in the trilogy so there is no need to go over the characters and plot lines
“Don’t lie to me again. If it’s not your whole heart, it’s a lie” -Abi
I was a bit upset with Eli in this final episode. In my eyes, he broke his promise, a couple of times. No matter how bruised his ego was I did not agree with his decision. I understood it slightly but to me, it just felt like emotional blackmail. I did however like the changes he chose in the last few chapters. Maybe I can see past his errors and forgive him, maybe.
“Sometimes you got to believe”
I think the universe had it out for Faith. Her whole journey was such a whirlwind of heartache and angst blended with a bit of self discovery and forgiveness.
I believe she finally found Faith. but at what a price.
She paid the most IMO for her HEA
So many skeletons are uncovered in this final episode. Some are “holy chit” shocking” others I sort of foresaw coming. A few new friends were made and sadly some old ones were lost.
I will suggest having tissues handy as there are a few scenes that may bring on the ugly cry.
I really enjoyed watching some of the characters blossom and come into their own while others finally got their comeuppance.
A few of my favorite supporting characters need their own stories — hint hint– and grandma needs her own memorial service (just a thought)
Wow oh wow. What a great ending to this series! We get some much answered questions, tons of tears and HUGs. We get to see a family slowly become whole and Faith become free. I loved it and everything in it. I even loved it when I got mad at Eli and through all the pain that Dan put Faith through. But I loved it most because Faith finally found her strength. It’s extremely sad knowing that there are young people going through that kind of pain every day. It’s heartwarming knowing that there is a light on the other side of the tunnel with the right kind of help and strength. Loved this book, loved this series! *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
Now that how you end a trilogy!
This book starts of right where Tears of Glass ends – so if you haven’t read book one and two, I’d read them first – with more heartbreaking times ahead for Faith and Elijah. My review isn’t in depth, so there’s no spoilers.
They have been dragged through so much, people trying to rip them apart, some people with their POV being from the 1800’s and not approving, having the past haunting the present and threatening their future, grief ripping their hearts out.
How much can the pair have thrown at them and still come out fighting.
Life is what you make it and now they are ready to fight, kick and scream for what they both deserve. Discover what they want in life, and give anyone against them the middle finger, and most importantly for Faith let her secrets from the past free, so she can have some peace.
A love like theirs is precious, unpredictable, but Gold.
On the return to Bowsley Hall, which she ran from, they have returned, but Elijah wants reassurance that they can survive it, everything will be on his shoulder with Peter gone. The reality that she was back and the Faircloughs showed what they wanted, what was underneath was different and she was going to become one. Elijah knows as soon as they announce their engagement, it will start again, because they didn’t pick Faith he did.
They fight everything that is thrown at them time and time again, but they are determined, and Faith isn’t who she was before and promised Elijah she wouldn’t run again, so she has no choice but to stay and fight.
They both have their own fears, but they have to overcome then with everything going on. They fight everything thrown at them to get their happy ever after ending. Amazing conclusion to the series.
Tears of Gold is the third and final book in Elijah and Faith’s story. It can not be read as a standalone so I highly recommend you read Tears of Ink and Tears of Glass first. If you haven’t, I wouldn’t even continue reading this review. I wouldn’t even read the synopsis but that’s just me. I like to go in blind and if you haven’t read the first two books then it is a bit of a spoiler. Tears of Gold ends right where Tears of Glass ended. With their lives forever changed.
Elijah and Faith’s relationship has always been full of obstacles. From the moment they met, their lives have been a rollercoaster. Full of excitement. Twists. Turns. Highs and lows. And when it was finally looking like the ride was settling to even ground, it picks up again. With even bigger twists than before. Can they handle the ride?
I don’t want to get into the story too much. I will say that I was on the ride with them. I felt for both of them. They have a lot on their plate. Family. Careers. The past. Their future. What matters is that they do love each other. They need to put everything out on the table before they can go forward.
Overall…it’s was an emotional and sexy ride. Faith is a strong woman. Eli is a great man. The two of them together amazing. I hope to see them again one day. I did see there is a book coming out called Scars of Silk that is part of the series but not sure if it’s their story. We shall see!
Quotes:
“I know.” I don’t know what else to say. “Instead, the future has twisted, the path has moved, and what I promised you yesterday no longer exists.”
“Faith was all about her rules; it gave me great joy to break them.”
“You’ve had callers.”
“Miss Beesley, this is not the nineteenth century; no one has left a calling card.”
Tears of Gold is the final book staring Faith and Elijah in this amazing book series, and I am actually gutted that this is the end. I have a place in my heart for them both and I’ve always wanted them to be happy. Achieving happiness with each other would be the icing on the cake as we have all seen the chemistry and love that these two individuals share, but we’ve also witnessed the many obstacles that have appeared for them along the way.
I really didn’t want to put this book down. I was desperate to know what was going to happen next. There are twists and turns in the story which always get a huge tick from me…..well who doesn’t love surprises 🙂 I feel the author has written the perfect story for Faith and Eli. I have absolutely loved getting to know Faith and seeing her character develop across the books…. Eli too!
There is so much that I would love to say about this story but I’m hoping that you will trust me when I recommend this book to you as I don’t want to give away any spoilers. The whole series is one that I would definitely urge you to read – it will be up there with my top favourites of all time!
All the feels! I bloody loved this! The perfect ending to Faith and Elijah’s story. I cried, both sad and happy tears, and smiled and I’m sure there were places I laughed too.
This is the third book and completes Faith and Elijah’s story. It was just perfect! A brilliant trilogy with some fabulous characters that really give a wonderful depth to the story and make it feel like it could all be very real. Anna Bloom has definitely become one of my favourite authors.
What a beautiful, emotional, heartfelt conclusion to a fantastic series. I’ve been glued to Faith and Elijah’s story from the very beginning. I absolutely loved it.
Anna Bloom has put my heart, no she has mashed my heart through a wringer, but then somehow blended all the broken bits back together and made it whole again. Pretty much exactly what she did to Faith and Elijah!
This book has twists, turns and emotional turmoil, it takes you from one end of the scale to the other….. Deep sadness to utter joy; tears to laughter; devastation to forgiveness; secrets and lies to hope and freedom; fear, pain and hatred to absolute, all encompassing love.
And there you have it, the journey of two beautiful characters and the people in their life who both help and hinder them. To love, life and fredom!!
A wonderful series I have loved all the way, I cant recomend it highly enough. Cant wait for what comes next from Anna Bloom…..Dan?? 5 huge stars
“Stiff and formal. I’m the balance to that. I’m the muse to his soul.”
With Tears of Gold, Anna Bloom managed to give us a wonderful conclusion to the Tears Of Ink Trilogy. I loved every moment with Eli and Faith from the first page of the first book until the last page of this one here. The world around Eli and Faith is so amazingly full of art, emotions, love and friendship, that it’s quite hard for me to let them go now.
”You are my everything. All of it. Ink, glass and gold. All the things that challenge us, all the things that defeat us and hide us, all the things that hold us together.”
In this book Eli and Faith have a lot going on and it seems like life likes to throw them one obstacle after the other not letting them rest. But the amazing characters they are, they ship each storm with ease and come out stronger than before. Eli and Faith are a power couple, who give each other the strength the other needs. They simply click like the last missing puzzle piece.
”… you’re my ray of golden sun. – Covered in ink. – Decorated in art.”
The only thing I didn’t really like in this book was, that because there were so many obstacles they had to deal with, none of them was given the attention they needed. Every one of them got only scratched on the surface. I would have preferred less obstacles but deal with them on a deeper level.
”Then he’s mine, in bands of gold an memories of glass. Of art in ink, and tears that will never stop coming but will always be fought.”
Tears of Gold is a shining and sparkling art of ink on pages that will grab your heart, squeeze it tightly and fills it up with every possible emotion.
That was AMAZING!!! The conclusion to Faith and Elijah’s story is the best yet. They will forever hold a place in my heart. This series is a must read. You are missing out. So much raw emotions, the wild rollercoaster ride will leave wanting more. I don’t want their story to end. Anna did a fantastic job with these characters. This is my favorite series of Anna’s.
