My name is Madame X.

My heart is torn in two.

And now I have to choose...

Caleb is everything to her: lover, caretaker, the man who gave her life meaning when she had none. But as she seeks the truth about herself and her past, she discovers that unravelling Caleb’s web of lies might very well be impossible.

Logan is everything she never knew she wanted: freedom, joy, and a passion she couldn’t anticipate. But is Logan’s love enough to save her from herself, from Caleb, and from the tumultuous truth of her past?

Caught between two equally compelling and seductive men, X must make the ultimate choice. But there’s more at stake than just her heart...

The Story:  I was really looking forward to reading this book.  Book two left everyone with MANY BURNING questions about Caleb and wanting to know about Logan.  This book is an EXTREME roller coaster ride.  Isabel is torn between Logan and Caleb.  Book three is definitely about Isabel's journey, growth and finding answers.  She is still trying to find out about her past while dealing with her torn heart between the two men in her life.

The Likes:  I love Logan, he is as loyal as they come.  He is actually more loyal than most.  The amount of BS he deals with from Isabel and Caleb would make most men high tail it out of the relationship but Logan IS ALWAYS BY HER SIDE.  I have to admire his character for that but at the same time I want to smack him.  I like that there was so much suspense and quite a few insane twists in this book.

The Dislikes:  I am normally NOT a fan of love triangles but I made an exception for this series.  I feel like it became too much in this final book of the series.  Without giving anything away, there was some really unrealistic developments in this book that literally had me saying WTF.

The rating:  I'm rating this story 3.5 stars because I was torn with this book.  I wanted to love it like I loved book one and two but I didn't enjoy this book quite as much.  I did read it pretty quickly and it definitely held my attention.  I love Jasinda's writing and will read anything she comes out with.
