I don't know where to begin.
This book.. It made me cry, swoon and lose my mind. The conclusion to the Blood & Roses series got insane, but the closure made everything calming. And that ending.. I don't expect that type of ending BUT I absolutely loved it. That change in Zeth made me want to scream to the heavens above.
I love, love, LOVE Zeth and Sloane, even Michael. I also have a soft spot for Rebel too.
When I started this series I asked myself what the fuck did I just read and what the hell did I just get myself into. It took me on a wild ride, one where I didn't know what to expect next. With each book, we found our new information and situations got worse.
The ride I took is one I would take again, especially with how it ended. Everything that happened felt right. And Collateral might be my favorite book in this series.
This series is a must read. All the books are just amazing. I don't think I can get over how perfect Collateral was. No matter how much of an emotional mess I was while reading. This series was just.. EVERYTHING. And more.

I received a arc copy of this book for a honest review.
I LOVED it!! callie has hit the nail on the head with this the final book in the Blood and Roses series. The emotional scenes just keep getting better, and of course Zeth is just alpha male perfection!!
So sad to see this series come to a end! Bring me more Zeth - hopefully Zeth and Sloane will make a appearance in 'Rebel'

I love the characters in this series and every story shows how they get over their own personal hurdles and the hurdles they have as a couple. The writing was emotional and grasped me as a reader throughout the book. The sexual tension and chemistry throughout really was amazing. I loved the storyline of this whole series and sad that this is the final book. Moving onto the companion series.

Wow I just burned through these books. Collateral was another great read. Everything comes to a head and man I did not expect things to play out the way they did. I loved it!
In this last chapter we have Zeth and Sloane trying to get Lacey back, trying to get Charlie out of the way, and trying to get rid of the persistent DEA agent. Add in some drama with Julio and Rebel and it is an action pact finale.
There are some heartbreaking scenes in this last chapter. I love how you can see how much Zeth has changed from the beginning, but how he is still the same guy. He still likes what he likes, but the kisses, oh the kisses. He was great. Plus he you can see how much he loves Sloane throughout the story by how he tries to deal with his issues. He never would have done that before, but throughout their journey he realizes she deserves that. With everything that happened and how he handled it...if that would have been book 1 this chapter would have been a very different story. I love how Sloane and Zeth make each other better. And what Zeth does for Sloane? Love it. He is so sweet!
It is not easy getting everything squared away for their happily ever after, but it is so nice by the end. I was a little worried that it might get cheesy or too quickly wrapped up or something since they had a lot to deal with, but it was perfect. I am a little sad it is over, but it was a great story I will definitely re-read. Oh and one last thought - I understand why Sloane is so upset with her sister, I would be super angry with her as well if I did everything Sloane did, but her whole how can she fall in love with Rebel thing? Yeah every time it came up in these books I was just like do you not see Zeth? What kind of guy do you think he is? Really I cannot wait to read Rebel now as I want the sisters story! This was a great, quick series to read. I pretty much went right from one book to the next without stop as it was just so good. On to Rebel!
