The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

4.0

---

At first I thought it was just as good as the others, but then I really started thinking about all that happened. Grayson never stood a chance and turned on Avery the minute Eve showed up, Toby got trapped with the Blakes, Eve got millions, and she gave everything away when she could’ve been much more strategic about it. I like Jameson but it seemed like he forced himself upon her rather than letting her choose who was best for her, and she felt too bad to be anything like Emily 2.0. But I do like that she was a badass playing chess and outsmarting the guy, and the puzzles were really interesting. I feel like if Blake had just come to her and explained the situation, she would’ve helped him without all the unnecessary kidnappings and threats
