Masterful #3
Masterful 3
It was my decision to kidnap Eva, so it was my decision to let her go. As usual, I have everything under control. There's just one problem. I'm nowhere close to having enough of her yet. If anyone tries to claim her, they're going to get a visit from me...and it won't be a social call.
Eva Bright is devastated after waking up to find Hex gone. Everyone may see her as a swan, but Eva still has things to prove to herself. Although admiration meets her at every turn, she's haunted by the man who understood her dark side like no one else. A leather dress and thigh boots are much better therapy than crying. It's time for Eva 2.0.
Please be advised that the MASTERFUL series contains a storyline that mixes elements of kidnapped romance with erotic dark romance. There are adult themes throughout these pages.

Fantastic Series
I was expecting a plain boring story without much to it. I thought I was grabbing a quick short story. I was very pleased to be wrong on all counts. This story has depth to it. There is a lot going on. If you are on the fence, then jump. You won't be sorry.

Such a fantastic ending
Jesse wrote such a beautiful story. Full of love and the unique mystery that surrounds Hex. We finally get our questions answered in this beautiful tale. There are no more secrets when you finish reading this last book.
I loved every minute of this story. I had no problem waiting for the final book to come out because I know genius sometimes takes a bit of time and Miss Joren's writing is nothing short of genius.
I'm sad that it's over, but this is a series you can read over and over and never tire of it. Is there a Hex out there for me? Who knows but he's seriously hot!
5+++ stars for an incredible ending to a beautiful story.

I will not lie - I checked Amazon EVERY DAY for the last seven months waiting for this - the third and final chapter in Hex and Eva's story. It was well worth the wait. And even though I have Kindle Unlimited and borrowed all of these books, I also purchased them, so that they will forever reside on my Kindles. Jesse Joren concluded this story beautifully. The story is very well written and I only found two typos towards the end of the book. We are given more on Eva and Hex's backgrounds and both characters are truly brought to life in the pages of these books.
In the first two books, Eva was kidnapped, held hostage, and finally released. This book picks up 28 days after Hex releases Eva and disappears from her life. Eva is trying to cope. Hex is trying to cope. Needless to say, neither is coping very well. This book gives a reader everything for a perfect read. I love the sassy Eva and mysterious Hex (thankfully, we do get to see some of his secrets revealed in this book).
Hex is definitely in my top 5 of favorite heroes. I can hardly wait to see what Jesse comes up with next. I've got my fingers crossed that we will get Del's story and that it will bring back Eva and Hex.

3 books over 4 days, normally I bounce from book to book never really finishing it til I’m ready. But this author had me speed reading cause I wanted MORE! Also she made me feel good about my own 14/16 size even more then I already do. Please give me more! Something with Del!?

After reading the first two instalments of this book and they both had me panting with excitement, I knew for sure this one would beat the other two books. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the other books but I had a feeling we would see Eva and Hex’s romance blossom into something real and it sure did.
I loved the little games Hex played with her at the beginning, each time she put herself in danger, and he became furious, you could tell how much she meant to him. Unlike the first two instalments which I devoured, I wanted to savour this one. In a way, it felt unusual to see the dominant Hex comfortable to be seen around with Eva, when he had been so secretive in the past and I adored how much he loved Eva. That said, somethings aren't for me but hey, each to their own.
Without giving out the details, I recommend that anyone looking for a dark romance should get this one, read the whole series at once, you might want to get a snack as well. Perhaps like me you would struggle to savour it and just devour the whole series, it’s that good. I haven’t read Fifty Shades of Grey but have seen the movie and it’s nothing compared to the world Ms Joren created with Eva Bright and Mr Hex. All in all, well done Ms Joren.

Perfect ending to a long awaited finale to a book I love. I prefer Hex over Christian Grey 10x over. I prefer Eva over Ana 100x over. Hex is one of those to-good-to-be -truth types of guys. I love how he tricks Eva, but it was for her own good. There is no way you could ever get mad at Hex for doing the things he did to protect Eva from herself and from others. I love smart men who are not boring. Hex is smart, not boring smart, but fun smart and protective, classy, sexy, stylish, with a great sense of humor. (possum gravy...I almost died falling off my chair laughing) You do not get bored with either characters. Usually by the third book, I hate the female character, but Eva never complained about anything. Eva is a strong woman who did not allow Hex status to intimidate her. The first and second book, you fall in love with Eva because of her sassy mouth. The third book, I was drawn more to Hex and his ways of doing things. I can never forget in the first book how Hex captured Eva in her apartment. Months later, I still laugh to myself because of Eva's sassy mouth.

I still think there are things unanswered.
But I loved the books. They had a little of everything. Darkness, humour, love, romance,etc. It was just an awsome! Series. Eve and Hex where just made for each other. I think something we got kind of left hanging on but we got enough info and Hex did say he would always have some secrets. Also I'm hoping we see or hear about them again if there becomes a book or series about Del. He's a very interesting character and would love to know sexy story.

Welcome Back !! We're now on the last leg of the "Masterful" journey. The unsung romance between Hex and Eva has hit an unforseen snag. Eva has been released from isolation and the dismantled stationary bike. Her world is now off kilter. Hex is no where to be be found and Eva has no way of knowing how to make contact. Even if she wanted to. But does she?? This final book of the series does leave you wondering if these two people are really going to get it together to be together. You'll really enjoy finding out. I truly enjoyed reading all 3 books by Jesse Joren and I think you will too.

I loved the conclusion to the Masterful series. Do you have to suspend belief? Absolutely! But, why the hell not? Hackers need love, too. All of the questions I'd been asking in the first two books were answered and Jesse Joran threw in a few fun surprises. I laughed out loud several times, I got kinda pissed at Eva for a while, and there was plenty of drama, but it all came together in the end for a highly satisfying conclusion.

What An Ending
Wow. With each subsequent book the story just got better and better. The build up from each book was perfect. I loved the twists, turns, and surprises, not only in the story but the ones too that came from Hex who really loves Eva. I enjoyed this series very much. One negative: please get a better proofreader. The errors slowed my reading speed and were annoying.

Outstanding
I've read these three books back to back in 24 hours and ...... bloody hell!!!!!
I enjoyed part 1, was surprised by the direction of part 2 (I hadn't expected the story to evolve so rapidly) but was blown away by part 3.
This whole series was a great read that I will return too again.

You really need to read this series!
I've already left a review in the 2nd book, so I'll try not to repeat myself. I so enjoyed the twist and turns of a book that is about bondage, romance, danger, and a lot of who done it. It is well worth your time to read and very very enjoyable. My first time reading Jesse Joren , but for certain not my last.

I waited for this final installment of Eva and Hex and let me say it did not disappoint. The intensity and Suspense was amazing and the further in-depth character chemistry was perfect. Love this series and sad to see it end.
May 23, 2016
The wait was worth it.
If you read the previous books you will love the third. It was worth the wait. I hate spoiling a book in the review so I will say this final chapter had me gasping, clapping, laughing. Everything a good book should.

Amazing finish to an incredible series.
No words needed, if you're here, you've probably read the other 2 books, this one is just as good - if not better. Just read it already!
