I listened with the wrong head.
And where did it get me?
Secrets.
Lies.
Deceit.

Deceived her way into my company.
Lied about who she was.

Review
The Intern Vol 3 is the third and final volume of The Intern Serial and I cannot say how much I love this dramatic and sexy story! From the first moment we met Bentley and Cece two books ago I loved them and their complex and forbidden relationship. Their story had so many twist and turns I was constantly on the edge of my seat just wondering what Brooke could have come up with. So often in these books it is the man who is hiding something and lying and the woman has to find a way to understand and love him, I loved how Brooke took all the typical things in a romance and just did something new and exciting. Cece is not perfect, she lies and is sneaky and but what she needs (even if her driving force is noble) above the needs of others and ultimately this is going to hurt her. She needs to know what happened to her father in order for her to be able to move on with her life and be happy. But what price is she willing to pay for this to happen.
“Everything in me is fighting against each other. What she did versus who she is. Knowing why she did it helped give me closure, but it doesn’t change the fact she lied and manipulated me. It also didn’t change the way I felt about her.”
Now that the truth is out there this story is all about the fallout. Everything that happened in the first two books is building to see if Bentley can and will move past the deceit and I will tell you (without giving much away) it is not easy. I actually found myself in the middle of reading this book messaging the author in utter shock at some of the events that happen. I did not see that coming AT ALL! If you like to be taken on a journey this serial is for you. It has everything I look for in a book, hot sex (cause I mean really we all need to admit we like that), a strong willed heroine, a I want-to-lick-him-all-day-long sexy man, a mystery and an element of surprise.
As usual Brooke did an excellent job of writing a book that I couldn’t put down. The writing is great and the story flows perfectly. I did find that I really enjoyed the build in this volume and that you have to work a little to get to those too sexy scenes! While the first two books were amazingly sexy pretty early on this installment dealt more with the issues between Cece and Bentley before divining into the you -might-need-clean-panties scenes! Also in order to give them time to work through all the drama that comes with lies, deceit and a mystery that needs to be solved this is quite a bit longer than the first two and definitely worth every penny! I am more than happy to give this volume 5 AMAZING AND SEXY SMOOCHES!
