Elle Thorpe stunned me again with this awesome trilogy. I binged the whole series in three days and was stumped on the mystery part the whole time. Every time the main character thought she had it figured it out, I was right along side her - and was equally confused when they still hadn't found the killer.
The steam - hot fire flames. I love the "we shouldn't, but we will" trope so much and this had plenty of it with Colt! And I always love the connection between all the characters, instead of just being focused on the girl, they could see the relationships forming between themselves. And no judgement! That was an amazing thing to see because that's how it really should be in real life!
I loved the introduction of this trilogy into the world and will definitely be reading more of her books in the future! Thorpe's writing style is strong and exactly how I like it.
Can I just beg one question - more of an epilogue! There were bonus scenes that I went to read off the website but I'd love an epilogue that's 10 years down the road about where they are now. I live for a good epilogue.

Read this trilogy along with the bonus epilogues over two days time. There is some MM in books 2 and 3 and it's sweet but not very spicy. The bonus epilogue has the spiciest scene for Banjo and Rafe. I enjoyed the conclusion to the series, as everything for the most part gets resolved, however I didn't love HOW it was resolved if that makes any sense. A good person has a crappy ending which is sucky, but I guess that's life.
I also don't love how Rafe's dad just gets away with being an abusive husband? I sure didn't love that. I wouldn't read this series again or really push it on anyone, but if a friend asked me I would tell them it's certainly good enough to read. It's a quick one that has a lot going for it.

What an epic finale to this series!
I didn’t want to put this book (or the rest in the series down).
The series started as a manhunt to avenge Lacey’s uncle. And it became so much more. The Saint View High series has so many intricate layers, pages and pages of suspense, and a whole lot of delicious steaminess.
I love Rafe, Banjo and Colt - each in their own way. Each has a different tenderness, but all are severely protective.
Elle wrote this series wonderfully. The story draws you in and holds you captive until the end of book three. I’m dying for more stories in this world.

Wow just wow
What an amazing way to wrap up this series! I’m absolutely blown away with how well this series wrapped up! I couldn’t be more happy with how this played out. I’m absolutely shocked because in a story like this you almost never end up with an ending so perfect! Now I’m just sad it’s over. The twist and turns this series took had me constantly on the edge of my seat. I’m so thankful I didn’t find this series until after it had been completed. I think I would have gone completely mad if I would have had to wait between books.

This was fabulous!!
This book was maneuvered so well around the personal relationships and the plot with the crap going around Owen, officer Waller, rafes dad and Lawson… It kept me engaged and interested and wondering the whole time and man I was not prepared for the twist at the end!!!
This was just wonderfully written like all of Elle’s books are and I couldn’t have asked for a better story or ending!

The series was enjoyable enough, but so overly dramatic. Didn’t see the murderer twist coming though.
