REVIEW:
Wow…just wow. I swear
Pam Godwin’s novels get better and better with everyone I read! It took me
several days to put my emotional thoughts into coherent sentences enough to
write this review. I still don’t think I will be able to fully articulate how EXTRAORDINARLY
CAPTIVATING this book (and series) was. I am in complete and utter book
hangover mode, dare I say it’s the worst I have ever experienced, and that’s
all thanks to Pam Godwin’s PHENOMENAL ability to completely crumble me to a
mess of a woman and be completely attached to fictional characters. Going into
this last and final novel in the Tangled Lies trilogy, I knew that my heart was
GOING to bleed. There was GOING to be tears shed. And I was GOING to be left
utterly spent. ALL those things happened and then some. I giggled, I smiled, I
swooned, I cried, I hurt, I yearned, I loved, I mourned and I dreaded the
ending with every fiber of my being. I NEEDED Danni to find her HEA, but at the
expense of ripping out half her heart was daunting to say the least. Pam Godwin’s ability to thoroughly consume
the reader with varying emotions is unprecedented. I can say I have NEVER felt
this torn in two while reading a book. I begged in my mind that there be a way
for Danni to end up with both men, but I knew that Pam wasn’t going to take the
“easy” way out and because of that, there was no ending that would be a HEA for
everyone involved…someone was going to “lose”. *tears*
“I need them with a yearning that can only end in more heartache.”
In THREE IS A WAR, all the lies and omissions were brought
to light and there was no rock unturned, no emotion hidden. Danni, Cole and
Trace put their hearts on the line and bared their souls in this book. Both men
were “going to war” for this woman, but instead of there being bloodshed, they
were rivaling on an emotional and intellectual level. They were strategically
striving to prove who had the deeper connection with her to show to Danni WHY
she should choose one over the other. And boy did they make that decision hard
on her. “We’ve shared you, fought each
other for you, broken laws to keep you. We’re both so eaten up I love with you
there isn’t anything we won’t do.” –Trace. Danni was pulled both directions
with each individual encounter. Each time she thought she knew who her heart
was telling her to pick, it would turn with a glance shared, or a whispered
touch, or a lingering kiss. Unfortunately, this isn’t the kind of decision she
could make on a whim. She has to think with her heart. “But the heart isn’t logical. Sometimes, we don’t
know what we want until it’s gone.” She’s trying to determine
if she needs to go back to her “first love” (Cole) or give her “second chance
at love” (Trace) a chance. Both men are amazing choices, but only one is the
right choice. Her mom gave her the best advice in this book: “Relationships are hard work. Love is hard
work. Whether you choose Cole or Trace, make sure you pick the one you’re
willing to work the hardest for.” Now, Danni has to dig deep within herself
to figure out WHO that someone is.
“I fell in love with two men and lost myself. I’ll stay in love with one and find myself again.”
This novel (and series) was not only about finding the one that makes
your heart beat, but it was about finding yourself amongst all this love and turmoil.
I do NOT envy the decision Danni had to make, but I applaud her for the
strength in which she did so. Feeling like your heart is literally being torn
in two, is excruciating to experience and yet a blessing…who is lucky enough to
have not one but TWO men who love you unconditionally?
“Love happened twice, and I have no regrets, even if the situation feels impossible, even if the looming decision makes me believe I will never survive it. As much as I fear the future, it isn’t going away until it shows me what I need to do.”
I truly
believe that this series will be forever in my top love-triangles read. The flawless
writing style that Pam has is all-consuming and riveting. I felt as if once I got
to the 50% mark, I was reading with one eye closed because I knew that I was
getting close to the pinnacle of the whole series…the decision was coming and I
wasn’t quite prepared for it. My heart crashed and broke into a million pieces
several times by the end, and then it was mending back together, but with
slight cracks that will never disappear. I will not say what side I am on
(#TeamCole or #TeamTrace), but I will say that I am extremely happy with how
this series ended and I’m overjoyed that Danni found the man whom makes her
heart beat and picked a whom brings rhythm back into her life.
10 stars!
xoxo, Vivian💋
