The Thalia series is my absolute favorite in this genre. And I was not disappointed by this final book. The same dynamics exist between James and Thalia only he gets to add husband to his list of titles. I love this series!
This is the final book in The Thalia series! I think that Jennifer Bene wraps up this story very nicely! I think she bring the perfect combination of spicy and sweet! This is the Happily Ever After that everyone wants for Thalia and James! This is definitely a series that I want to see make it to audio book! Amazing story!
What a wonderful ending to this thrilling series. Love all the scenes and seeing all the Purgatory folks together again. Very talented author!
I didn’t expect this book! It caps off the series, and puts a big, shiny, bow on an awesome series!
Thalia and James`s love is reflected in the conclusion of this fabulous love story. The struggles they had to battle makes this an intense swoon worthy read. I am left with a bittersweet feeling of getting to the end of their journey. I hope to hear from them again in another story. I honestly volunteered to review this story.
Well deserved wedding bells for Thalia and James
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This is my 8th book by Jennifer, and the 4th in this series. I love an author who writes in dual point of view. Thalia and James are getting married, but there are some behind the scene stories that make you laugh and cry. One of Thalia’s wedding presents is to put a part of her past behind her and especially for the other women who had been abducted and freed. This was a short story but well worth the read to bring a happily ever after for Thalia and James.
This series was a roller coaster of emotions taking us from the darkest days and drawing us, with much relief, well into the light and it was worth every sniffle, profanity uttered, dark chocolate eaten, and batteries burned through.
And where but in one of Jennifer Bene’s stories would an aristocrat have a mercenary as a groomsman. Okay, there might be others but go with me.
If you haven’t started the series and you love your erotica on the dark side, then you need to start with “Security Binds Her” and then work your way through the four stories culminating with all things happily ever after. From there, it’s just a matter of feeding your addiction over the course of a few days until you get to “Tying the Knot.” Plan to call in sick because you won’t be able to put the stories down.
Jennifer doesn’t disappoint in the conclusion of the Thalia series. It was a fitting ending to the story of Thalia and James. I laughed and cried. I cannot sing the praises of the ending of this book enough. Thalia had been through so much and James helped her to overcome her demons and him with his own. The wedding was a fitting conclusion and the HEA they both deserved. If you are a fan of the Thalia series than this is a must read.
This was an amazing series. Logically, I should despise some one who would buy another human being, but everything about James compels the reader to love him and hope he and Thalia have a happy ending. Thalia is an incredibly strong woman and survives kidnappings and brutality without losing her ability to trust and love, and as despicable as Marcus and Anthony (especially Anthony who has no redeeming qualities and Marcus doesn’t ‘ have many) are, without their heinous actions Thalia would not have met James so I guess they do have a very limited purpose, but no tears were shed with their departure. This series has many dark elements but it also has moments of humour and tenderness. The time at Purgatory is insightful and ocassionally humorous and the short stories the author includes in the series are equally wonderful. However, be warned there are many potential triggers in these books, but if you are not affected, they are a compelling read I would recommend to anyone who likes dark romance
This was the perfect ending for James and Thalia,it was raw and beautiful with a few more surprises and will capture your heart. This is what true love and sacrifice means these two right here.I loved seeing all the supporting characters share in their day it was fun listening to their banter and now one big happy family after Thalias horrid journey to find her happy place.
The fourth book in the Thalia series is a true delight. From the first scene in the brides and bridesmaids room, preparing for the wedding, you are enveloped in the feeling of love and belonging. All of the Purgatory family, James’s family and Thalia’s “Badass” family are there to witness those two celebrate their commitment to each other. The poetic language that is Ms. Bene’s trademark elicits a deep feeling of contentment, whether she’s describing everyday or kink scenes. She even managed to make my eyes wet with this sensual, light, and loving ending of J and T’s story.
But to satisfy the feeling of outrage about past wrongs, Thalia and all her “girls” even get the present of rightful retribution.
And at the very end of the book we get the present of a promise of more stories from the Purgatory world.
The Bonusscene is a sweet, and deeply moving piece of kinky poetry !!
Ms. Bene surprises with every new book. You might think after a while the scenes might get repetitive, but she manages to grow in expressive language and inventive ideas with every story.
Oh and not to forget the cover, the visual promise of light is fulfilled in many satisfying ways.
That was an absolutely perfect ending to a seriously dark and amazingly kinky series! I will definitely be reading that again and again!!!!
This is a beautifully written story and the perfect ending to the series. Not without its bumps and drama but well worth the HEA these two characters deserve. A heart wrenching ending that connects with other series written by the author.
This is the wonderful ending that James and Thalia deserve! A gorgeous and detailed account of the wedding, a surprise wedding gift, and a wedding night to remember. I loved catching up with the other characters, especially Maggie & Kalen. It is fantastic that everyone comes together, and we can see how far Thalia has come, how welcome she is in James’ family-the ending is perfection!
I received a copy of this book. My honest opinion is voluntarily provided.
Sweet and fitting
This BDSM romance, was a lot more romance than BDSM. It was more of a sweet story and HEA for Thalia and James who deserve this marriage and super close friends and family. This books ties all the ends together with enough emotional and BDSM qualities to enjoy this read.
I honestly can’t say enough praise for this series and Ms Bene. Her writing and storytelling is amazing and will hold your attention from the first page.
Tying the knot is absolutely perfect ending for Thalia and James after everything they’ve been through, especially Thalia. I even got teary-eyed reading their happily ever after!
I can’t get enough of these characters and will definitely re-read this series more than once!
The best ending ending to a truly beautiful story. Love truly can conquer all with the right people. So glad James and Thalia found their way.
This is a stunningly brilliant end to a series which has dragged my heart to hell and back!!!
Superbly written as always and I love the whole cast of characters.
Highly recommended!
A wonderful conclusion to this amazing and kinky love story
This was almost like a super-long epilogue, a very wonderful way to end Thalia and James’ story. It’s shorter than the other books, teetering on the edge between novella and novel, really well written and totally captivating.
The book is a wonderful balance of some very sweet scenes demonstrating the deep love this couple share and some super hot kinkery pokery! Given the original story, overall it’s quite a gentle read that nicely crosses the t’s and dots the i’s.
This isn’t a stand alone book and you need to have read Security Binds Her at the very least. It does contain spoilers for books 2 and 3, one of which is a major event. This book perfectly ties up James and Thalia’s part of this story, whilst cleverly laying the ground for at least Beth’s story in the future. I will definitely be reading those books!
Happily ever after
Perfect conclusion to this story. It was fantastic to also have so many of the secondary characters play a pivotal role in the marriage. Great to see that love always beats evil
