ARC Review of The Choices Trilogy: Plus New Novella 1.5 Box Set by Dee Palmer

I LOVED this trilogy and was sad when the story came to an end. There is so much passion , intrigue and suspense –and did I say passion? What I mean is balls to the wall , intense, earthy delights that the MC put forth that I couldn’t get enough of.

Never a Choice: Book 1—In this book, we meet Bethany who is has had a loss in the past and is trying to move past it. She is going to college, trying to get her degree so she can make a better life for herself and take care of her mother.  She is an older student and while at college she meets the guest speaker named Daniel. There is a spark, this chemistry. Meanwhile Bethany is trying to make extra money so she takes a 2^nd job. During this time, Bethany and Daniel slip into a relationship where Daniel is this sexy, dominant alpha; while Bethany is hiding some secrets. Oh and there is Bethany’s psycho sister and a cast of awesome supporting characters. Bethany  is a perfect sub to Daniel’s Dom.. I loved the energy they had together. And then the book ends in a cliffhanger due to her psycho sister..

Always a Choice: Book 2—Bethany is trying to come back from the pain and hurt her sister left her in. In this book, secrets from Bethany’s past that she didn’t know about are then told to her and she is devastated. Daniel is left trying to help her recover. Bethany and Daniel grow closer in the beginning and OMG ladies and lads, the sex is sooo HAWT! Bethany ends up meeting someone she didn’t think she would ever meet. Then just as everything is great fantastic, someone from Daniel’s past come back into his life now- Angel-his ex. Now things between Daniel and Bethany are strange and the dynamics are not as perfect as they were before . As I read this, I could feel the pain and confusion. Also I could sense there was some sort of plan at work involving Angel-not sure what but was hoping Daniel woke up to see it. This ended on a heartbreaking cliffhanger AND a secret.

The Only Choice: Book 3-- Bethany and Daniel are in a bad way. This is one of the most heartbreaking books in this trilogy. I WAS SOOO Mad at Daniel for him pushing Bethany away, even when she begged him to please listen when she was trying to protect him from Angel and her mechanisms. Daniel broke her heart and pushed her away. Bethany broke my heart as she stumbled along holding her secret well because she wasn’t going to told Daniel since he “made his choice”.  But there is danger unfolding- Bethany’s psycho sister is back and she has her eyes set and there is new alliances made. Bethany is in HUGE danger. Will Daniel wake up and get to her in time? Will they get back together? This is what made this one of my favorites is due to the emotional tone and the suspense along with the ending in this story.

Never a Choice 1.5 Novella:--This is just a story set sometime in between Never a Choice and Always a Choice from what I could determine. Also, this story is told in Daniel's POV. Oh and are the scenes HOT- Daniel’s hot alpha DOM makes a show and he doesn’t play around. Bethany is his and he proves it.

I loved these books and this will always be my favorites books of all time. I am sad that Bethany and Daniel  stories are over but maybe we will get a peak into their world again. I think the author wrote something so good, that I cannot wait to see what she has next.
