A pirate without a ship, a captive without a ransom. What are the next steps for Poseidon and Ashley? Everything comes together in this final book.
Ashley has really grown over this trilogy. She was originally a woman who came aboard Poseidon's ship scared and entitled and is now at a point where she's fighting to stay by her pirate's side. Now that Poseidon's ship is gone Ashley really steps up her game to hold her man together. She is not only fighting for their future, but also his sanity. In this trilogy she's gone from a spoiled, rich girl to a formidable woman, ready to stand by her man. It's a good thing because the scary pirate she first met is lost along with his ship.
Being landlocked is killing Poseidon, he is not the same man without his ship. He continues to push Ashley away, figuring she deserves better than what he can offer, but the more he tries the more she resists. I was a tad disappointed in his behaviour, and yes, only a tad. I completely understood he needed to grieve. He lost his entire life now rests at the bottom of the ocean and he needed time to deal with the ramifications of what he did. Men are moody creatures, especially when they lose their toys, but his moodiness went on for longer than I was hoping for.
Some of my favorite parts of this last book were when Poseidon and his brothers were together. Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades share a bond unlike many brothers, but I love their unique, shall we say - talents - and how they support each other in a time of crisis. Great ending for the brothers and Poseidon's thoughts regarding them constantly brought a smile to my face.

An amazing series of Poseidon, a pirate living on his ship with Ashley, who he kidnaps and eventually makes her his. The action in the 3rd book was as intense as the first two. The emotion of his search for his mother and the last of the rosary. The process of repairing the relationship between Poseidon, Zeus and Hades is so deep and wonderful. I would love to see a story or novella on Demeter and what happens with her. Loved the series!

What a captivating and tumultuous conclusion to this passion-filled, dark and intriguing trilogy! What started as an obsession with a gorgeous cover has led to my consumption by this captivating mythological reimagining- the god of the sea and the love that brings him to his knees. This trilogy is full of action and feels- the epic conclusion picking right up in the thick of Ashley and Poseidon’s new uncertain reality- one fraught with loss and emotional tension as they navigate these new proverbial waters, leaving the pirate god without his ship, tethered to dangerous enemies that will require a unique force to defeat.
Our story begins in a turbulent, melancholic emotional fog- and I really loved how Amelia slowed down her normal breakneck action pace to have us really drown in the feelings of loss and uncertainty. This is so much more than the loss of a ship- this is about the loss of identity, about stripping a man bare, loosening his tether to the sea to expose him fully. Amelia presents this leg of this story with such emotional integrity and intensity,
With a woman who refuses to let him fully drown beside him. Of course, midway through, the pace accelerates- all the nail biting action, gripping suspense, and the passionate, erotic desperation that Amelia so infamously writes.
At the core, though, this story harkens to what made these legendary myths so profound- the power of our own humanity in face of the greatest adversity and the indomitable power of love. Their love may be depraved and carnal, twisted and perverse in places, tantalizingly turbulent- but it is unconquerable. A love that launches a thousand ships...or here, a love worthy of sacrificing one, one worthy of unleashing the heart and soul of a tormented man . Ashley and Poseidon fight for each other until the bitter end, and I was hanging on every word.
Fans of the prior two trilogies will also appreciate the opportunity to dwell just a little longer with the other couples that have twisted your mind and captured your hearts as well as see some beautifully scribed and emotionally impactful moments of brotherhood- brava for such full circle closure. A epic, albeit bittersweet, end to this passionate take on the mythic legend.

I loved loved loved Poseidon’s story! It was action packed, steamy, and angsty from the beginning to the end. I didn’t want it to end! I want more. I can’t wait for more!

Home, where is home to you? For Poseidon he always thought home was the sea, but in this final installment of this trilogy he finds out that is not really the case.
Amelia Wilde has given us an action packed conclusion to another series and it was the perfect way to wrap everything up.
As with the rest of this story, Poseidon and Ashley’s relationship isn’t a sweet, unicorn and rainbow sort of relationship. It’s raw, dark and twisty and it might be triggering to some, but if you made it to this last book then there is nothing new or shocking for you, just more of the good stuff.
Amelia writes in such a visual way you will almost be able to smell the salt water off the sea while you read. She gives us fractured heroes and reluctantly strong heroines and you will not be able to forget them if you try.
This series must be read in order, but again this is not a hardship because her writing is just that good! Go go out and get lost at sea with Poseidon you won’t regret it!

This final book in the Devil Trilogy is a beautiful deep dive into Posideon. Repeatedly, we have witnessed his connection to the ocean; this bond is palpable from the first book. In Devil May Care, we see how devastating it is when Posideon is not on the sea and how much Ashley has come to love him and wants to help him. I really loved this concluding novel in this series; it reveals so much more about Posideon, his relationships with Hades and Zeus, and his growing relationship with Ashley.
I felt like I was struggling with Posideon at the beginning of the book as he seemed to be fading away as he was not on the sea. His lack of sleep and inability to control his emotions. It was all overwhelming for him. Ashley was like a gentle balm for him to cling to, and she tries to help him as much as he will let her. What is best about this book? Without a doubt, when Zeus and Hades show up and the brothers do what brothers do.
Posideon and Ashley's story was so much more than I expected, and the ending was everything. The steam level in this book is hot, but it does not detract from the story. I did not want this series to end, but I feel we may see the brothers again as Demeter is still out there. If I'm wrong, let me live in my world to continue to hope to see Hades, Zeus, and Posideon again.
