The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

4.0

Most reviews I read before picking this up said how disappointing this book was and that it was the worse one in the trilogy. And I believe I owe my thanks to all of you who wrote that, because, otherwise my expectations wouldn't have been lowered and I, most likely, wouldn't have enjoyed myself reading this book in one sitting! I genuinely couldn't put it down. Started reading at 8 p.m. and stayed up until 4 a.m. because I was so enraptured.

In the previous book I concluded that I was team Jameson, and I absolutely still am. The things this boy said...

"I never learned how to be good or honorable, Heiress. I learned how to be bad in the most strategic ways. But now? With you? I want to be better than that. I do. I don't ever want for you━for us, for this━to become a game."

"I can't even hate him now. He's a part of me. He's in me. But mostly, I can't hate him, Avery Kylie Grambs, because he brought me you."

"The only person I trust with all that I am and all that could be, Heiress, is you."

"I love you. I would die to protect you. I would make you hate me to keep you safe because damn it, Avery━some things are too precious to gamble."

I need me my own Jameson, ASAP.
