Such an amazing book and series ... The twist and turns this book has will have you entertained throughout the book. Of course I totally loved it and love this author.

I loved this book! The author wrote as if I was chatting with an old friend. I would classify it as “un-put-down-able,” which is one of my most favorite categories for books. Sure to be a huge hit for any reader that loves a good spicy story.

Exposed Desire by Tara Sue Me is book 3 in The Benedict Brothers Series. This is the story of Kipling Benedict and Alyssa Adams. Alyssa is a police officer who can't stand people like Kipling so they are always at each other throats. But when a lead leads her to information about her sister's murder she will need Kipling. Kipling is a workaholic who sole focus is running the Benedict Industries. But the more he spars with Alyssa that direction is changing.

It was a nice story but i needed more insights into it

But overall it was an entertaining book
Thank you netgalley for the arc 🫶🏻

It was a worthy ending for the Benedict brothers series. Kipling and Alyssa could finally be more than some witty banter. Kipling surprised me with his thoughtfulness and caring personality. Some of the secrets revealed were surprising and finally there was more insight into the past. If only we could have a look into Keaton and Tilly’s and Knox and Bea’s futures, not just Kipling and Alyssa’s and Jade’s.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of the book.

I fell in love from page 1. I love the whole book and didnt want it to end! How do you tell someone how much you love a book without giving everything away? I cant even start.

This thriller has a kidnapping, family secrets, a black rose, and an unsolved murder. A spicy romance that is told in dual POV, with plenty of on-the-edge-of-your-seat moments leaving you reading until the very last page.

What will happen when a current investigations opens up an old case, are they connected? Who can be trusted? Who will fall victim and who will uncover layers of deception?

If you like your romantic suspense and a scosh of spice ... dive in.

I haven’t read anything else by this author and I really enjoyed this book. Officer Alyssa Adams’ sister was murdered ten years ago, and she has never stopped looking for her killer. Attending the renewal vows of her friend, Bea, she runs into her nemesis Kipling Benedict. Even though she arrested him once, he and his mega wealthy family have a way around the law. Kipling is attracted to her, but as the oldest of the three brothers, his concentration is on the family shipping business. When he learns that he has a half-sister, he is determined to find her. Jade, the sister, has been kidnapped and is being held prisoner, but why? His father’s past will soon come back to haunt the family as someone has decided they all need to pay, but for what? Alyssa begins to receive threats and she and Kipling are soon on the run. The attraction between them flares out of control as they race to stay alive, find his sister and capture the killer. When they find Jade, what other secrets will they uncover? An exciting story through to the very end. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review.

It is 4 stars from me for this one, highly recommended!

"Exposed Desire," the third installment in Tara Sue Me's The Benedict Brothers series, is a sizzling and suspenseful romance that takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and intrigue.

However, as he engages in verbal sparring with Charleston police officer Alyssa Adams, it becomes increasingly clear that Kipling's resolve may not hold.

Alyssa Adams, on the other hand, is a strong and independent woman who has little patience for someone like Kipling, who appears to be conceited and self-serving.

Exposed Desire is the surprising conclusion to the Benedict Brothers romantic suspense series by Tara Sue Me. In this book, about Kipling Benedict and Alyssa, the Charleston police detective who had arrested him for murder in Perilous Kiss. In this book, readers finally learned the answers a number of mysteries surrounding the Benedict family. These included Tilly Brock’s father and the embezzling at the Benedict shipping empire, the identity of the Benedict brothers’ half-sister, the identity of the mysterious King and why he was so determined to get revenge on the Benedict family, how Jade ended up in the custody of King and why she was intended to be the instrument to bring the Benedict’s down, and more that weren’t even revealed in the earlier books. It was pretty impressive how the author gradually does out small pieces of the puzzle in the earlier books without giving enough for the reader to figure out these mysteries until the third book and not even until near the end. She did an amazing job of bringing everything together by the end of the book in such a satisfactory way with a happy ending for all the good guys. The books were written so that they were never boring and one couldn’t help but continue the story. I wholeheartedly recommend.reading this book and series, especially if a fan of authors such as Rebecca Zanetti or Linda Howard. I am voluntarily writing this review after reading an advanced complementary copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial.

This is book three in The Benedict Brother’s series and it is Kipling and Alyssa’s story and omg it is definitely a must read. Kipling and Alyssa had instant attraction right from the beginning and the chemistry between them is strong, hot and intense but with Alyssa being part of the police force and had already arrested Kipling once and Kipling being burnt in college when the woman he fell for only wanted him for his name, wealth and everything that went along with his name and vowing to never put himself in that position ever again anything between Kipling and Alyssa would never come to anything other than scratching that itch. When evidence came to light so did the danger and Kipling and Alyssa will have to work and stay together if they are to have any chance of getting out alive. The net is closing in making the person responsible for all the killings to get even more manic, desperate and determined to take out everyone that is in the way so now more than ever Kipling and Alyssa need a escape plan that works but when the person responsible underestimated just how strong and determined Kipling and Alyssa was to not only take him down but also make him pay for everything that he has done and the lives that he had taken and then they can all live the lives the way that they should have before all this started. Wow just Wow this series just got better and better with each book that is written and I couldn’t put this book down as it was action packed and addictive. The twists and turns kept coming at a break neck speed and had you on the edge of your seat while turning the pages and I read it in one sitting and I can’t wait to see what this author writes next and I will be there ready to read it.

Exposed Desire is the final book in the The Benedict Brothers trilogy. These books need to be read in order because the underlying mystery runs through them all and is solved in Kipling's story. It's entertaining and fast-paced, with some surprising twists and turns and a well-deserved happy ending.

I'm so excited by how good this book was but what else could be expected from this incredible author. Although I am feeling a little sad that the series has come to an end

This book was good but the romance was just okay. I enjoy the story around the main characters more.

Kipling and Alyssa work together to finally solve the mysteries surrounding their families including who was responsible for his parents' death, and who was responsible for the death of Alyssa’s sister, but this puts them in danger

"The Benedict Brothers #3: Exposed Desire" offers an engaging glimpse into family drama and hidden legacies. Tara Sue Me crafts an intriguing narrative with complex characters and simmering secrets. While the story is compelling, a few pacing issues slightly hindered the experience. Nonetheless, it's a solid read, worth diving into for fans of dramatic, romantic mysteries. ⭐⭐⭐¾📖

I was not engaged by this story and found it repetitious having read the previous installment. It was a little unrealistic.

Tara Sue Me never disappoints. I enjoyed this book so much and was very happy that she branched out to write something different from what she typically writes. The mystery was was kept me reading. I was so intrigued and had to know what was going to happen. Most of the time I can figure out the mystery but this one kept me guessing with every turn of the page. I also loved Kipling and Alyssa and how their story was going to play out. I'm such a sucker for a happy ending.

This fast paced emotional thriller kept me riveted until the end. Loved the final Benedict brother’s story and highly recommend this read!!
