WTF??
This book ended in the third of the story!! You don't write books like that! I'm seriously pissed off. It didn't even start and it ended. Normal books have a beginning, middle and ending, this one is just a beginning, nothing else and I'm completely serious. No conclusion here. You can't even mistake this ending for a cliffhanger because this doesn't have any kind of conclusion, not a bit. And on top of all that; it is raw material, not polished or edited enough. It's blunt to the point of cringing. Grrr, I'm angry.

Putting same review on all 3 parts of trilogy as I own it in a boxed set.
Wanted to say first that I LOVED the supporting characters! Kellan and Drake were amazing and hope we read more about Ana.
Favorite notes:
Drake leaned slightly to make a face at Sloane, "Hear her? The popsicles are mine." "What are you five?" Sloane stuck the promised treats in the freezer. "I'm the man who can kick your ass if you touch my popsicles."
"Oh shut up. Do you hear yourself? Did that accident unleash your inner martyr? Cuz she is seriously unattractive. Kill that bitch off and bring back my prickly Kit Kat."
"Broke his nose, according to Sloane. He said, and I quote, 'it was fucking beautiful,'" A stupid-ass grin surprised her. "What a poet."
"Men refuse to acknowledge Dirty Dancing because of the lift. Most men can't do a controlled lift of a woman over their head. They're threatened by it."
Ends at 99% on my Kindle. Approx 6219 locations on 3 part box set.
Shelf tags:
Heroine wounded injured: suffers leg injury from violent mugging
Hero cries/Made me cry:you know the character is going to die but ohhh you feel the pain right along with Sloane and Kat

Full disclosure: I detest cliffhanger series. Lately, and especially since the success of 50SoG, there are too many authors that insist on breaking up one book into a trilogy. I despise reading half of a story that is left open for what is so obviously a money grab. There have been so many substandard books that I have started to read, only to find out that I got part of a story. It immediately makes me feel annoyed and there are stories out there that I simply don't know how it concludes because I refuse to continue with them.
And yet - this is a genuinely good story, good enough that I was happy that I read it anyway. This review covers both books released so far, the Proposition and Possession.
Sloane is a great hero - protective, alpha but his true strength is that he makes Kat stronger by helping her help herself. Kat is a heroine who could have easily been annoying and cowering, waiting for the big strong man to save her. But she doesn't want that, and I really admired her determination to move on from a devastating attack that left her scarred, inside and out.
It is a refreshing take on a very common theme for romances nowadays, and the setup is excellent. In this installment, there is enough character development and the cliffhanger is dramatic without leaving me completely dissatisfied.
The only thing that stopped me from giving this another star is that I truly wish the author had held off and combined all three parts into one amazing story, a book that I would happily pay a decent price for, instead of releasing it in sections.
