The Only Choice (Choices Trilogy #3) By Dee Palmer
** Provided on behalf of the author for an honest review **
In this final book in the Choices Trilogy, Daniel has made his choice, and walks away from Bethany.
Bethany still can’t get her head around the fact that Daniel is still so hell-bent on helping his ex, Angel. Daniel couldn't be so blind. Could he?
It’s up to Bethany to find out the truth one way or another, even if it means putting her life and those she loves at risk.
Could the two people Bethany hate get away with the torture they are putting Bethany through?
Or will the one man that has her heart and soul, save her in time?
Never before has a book moved us as much as this one. Such a beautifully written story that we couldn't get enough of, even if at times it had us in tears.
Another outstanding read by Dee Palmer
Another HUGE 5 star read.
We are really going to miss Daniel and Bethany.
A big thank you to Dee Palmer for giving us an amazing Trilogy. 310 The Only Choice
Choices Trilogy book 3

5 Stars
The story continues, you’re on the edge of your seat and you are turning the pages as fast as you can read them because you just have to know what is going to happen next…
Will Bethany and finally find her HEA? with Daniel? or will circumstances beyond their control change their plans?
Just as you are getting to end of this book and the page count is getting smaller and smaller, you wish there was more…
Ms. Palmer doesn’t disappoint. Great series!! Looking forward to reading more from you!!

310 A Grand Finale!
This is the third and final installment in The Choices trilogy and each book in the series just seemed to top the last. This series has been a fast paced, crazy emotional roller coaster ride. When you start reading, you just have to keep turning pages to see what happens next, if you're one of those people like me who likes to guess what happens next, you will definitely love this series, because you will think you know where it's going and then bam! It's not what you thought at all! I love it when that happens. With this book alone you will want to laugh, and cry, and rage, and want to throw your reader out the window! Ok maybe not your reader but... I don't want to say too much and possibly leave any spoilers, but suffice it to say you need to read this book! If you've read the first two I'm sure you already know that, but just incase, and if you haven't read them, you need to, definitely before this one. I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us next. I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
310 I hate that I am having to hide my entire review due to spoilers, but I just can't be trusted. This book, as the others, enraged me on many levels.
Let's start with Daniel's stalking. He gives the love of his life a collar, and he puts a tracking chip in it. He says it is to protect her, but seriously? He uses it to show up and find her, regardless of where she is or who she is with. Bethany doesn't seem to mind, which blows my mind.
So now we bring in the ex, Angel. Daniel's already dropped the bombshell that he's going to give her his swimmers so she can have a baby. This is just so wrong. He doesn't take into account how the love of his life, his words, feels. No, he throws her out and accuses her of being with him for his money. So off she runs. She grieves, again, and he finds her, again. She agrees to marry him, after he uses his magic dick (he's very fond of this type of persuasion) Then she finds out that he's still planning to give Angel his swimmers. So she gets upset and he uses that 6 month clean break clause, takes the collar and leavers. Yup, she's devastated once again.
So now she's home, dealing with everything and finds out she is pregnant and Daniel has stolen her patent, blah blah blah. She confronts him, there is magic dick persuasion, but he kicks her to the curb directly after. Then there is a confrontation in the restaurant and WHAM, Daniel is back in her life and she's got her bodyguard back.
Bets can't let the whole Angela thing go, because she's fighting for her man. So she talks to the uncle and somehow this gets back to Daniel (still not sure how that happens) We have another confrontation. She goes to the Club to get her answers and of course he finds her there. Now we have punishment. Yes, he punishes her, in front of his business partner/associate, because she can't stay out of the Angela business. She tries to tell him about everything, but he's not hearing her. In fact, he's so pissed he doesn't stop, even though she safe words. This is not the first time we've seen him be a less than stellar Dom. Now he's DONE with her he says. But he isn't really because then he shows up at the wedding, they have sex, just one last time, and he walks away. So he's not really that mad or done with her.
So let's talk about his protection. Suddenly there is none. She gets kidnapped by Crazy Angela and her sister Kit, don't know how they hooked up, that goes unexplained. Yadda yadda yadda, he finds her, they get shot and now we have our happily ever after.
Let me just say, I gave this book 3 stars only because Daniel got what he deserved. He admits to Bets that he had suspicions about Angela and her husband. He admits he pushed her away, making her angry, so she would hate him. This was for her safety. However, when she continues to go after the truth, he gets angry and pulls her security detail, which allows her to be kidnapped by his crazy ex. So EVERYTHING that happens to Bethany is HIS FAULT. Every. Single, Thing. I mean seriously, if he's trying to protect her, how does he pull her protection? When she keeps digging, why doesn't he tell her that he has these suspicions and that he working on it? How does someone who is apparently this smart and successful do something so stupid?
Everything about Daniel bothered me. His stalking, his magic dick, his punishments, everything. Granted, Bethany admitted that she needed and loved the punishments. However, as her Dom he is responsible for her care, and he falls short of that on several occasions.
Bethany was weak and I felt like she allowed this behavior because she loved him. Yet time and again he threw her away and then demanded her back. In the end, he saves her life and all is forgiven.
The book is about choices and I feel like Bethany never really had a choice, she just thought she did. 310 Wow. This book proves two things. 1, I have serious mood swings/anger management problems when reading and 2, Dee Palmer can write a truly addictive story.
Following on from the previous book, poor Bethany is trying to come to terms with recent events. When Daniels actions have a domino effect it's Bethany who pays the price. Time and time again. I've loved Beth from the start and although my heart broke for her, there were times I could have slapped her. Daniel was another character I've always loved but this book seriously changed that. He made me so mad I was shaking at times. I love an arsehole book boyfriend to love/hate and the deviously delicious Daniel Stone will definitely have a place in my top 5. This book is full of ups and downs. Twists, turns and plenty of surprises this book sucked me in. I didn't put it down once. Highly recommend. 310
Excitement, relationships, control, trust, emotions that are crazy, a baby, a life, an alpha male, possessiveness, sex behind pleasurable and heartbreaking events are all things that are apart of this amazing series!
Wow what an amazing read this series was for me! There is never and I mean never a dull moment in this series!
Bets is one strong, caring, sexy, fighter when it comes to her man and her family! Things start to really happen for her in a good way but then crazy people step into her life again and want to destroy her and everything she has!
Daniel loves hard and he loves Bets even harder! He pushes. Her to the extreme and hurts her in different ways because of that love! But will this amazing fire cracking sparks flying love and attraction make it through the crazy people that are trying to tear them apart! You'll have to read to find out!
Amazing, exciting, heart stopping and I couldn't get enough! 310 SO INFURIATING!!! I liked it, yet was very frustrated with how things developed. Daniel and Bethany's choices drove me crazy. And it turns out in the end, each was doing something for the other but yet had no idea it was for the better. Freaking ridiculous. I'm not totally happy with this ending but I did love this series.
I was constantly yelling at my book and my hubby even asked me what was wrong with it and what was happening. I couldn't even explain the idiocy of the situation. 310 This is the third book in the Choices trilogy and I urge you to read books #1 (Never A Choice) and #2 (Always A Choice) first.
I'll try not to reveal any spoilers in this review but there's so much that happens in the first two books, that I hope you'll forgive me if I hint at something inadvertently.
So, upon starting book #3 I was filled with anxiety and a little peeved to be honest. This only worsened as I read on. I became so frustrated with Bethany. I honestly wanted to slap some sense into her! What's the female equivalent of growing a freaking pair?!
Although Daniel is a bit of a bastard, you can't help but love him and his sense of morality in trying to do the right thing. Even if it doesn't always go to plan.
There's drama, stubbornness and a whole heap of emotions thrust upon you.
I can quite honestly tell you that I reached a point where I was almost too afraid to keep reading. Nothing seems to be going as I expected but I did continue, with bated breath.
This conclusion to the trilogy takes you on an emotional journey and I'm sure, like me, you'll swing back and forth between loving the characters and feeling utterly frustrated with them.
If you've got as far as reading books #1 and #2, no doubt you're on the edge of your seat, waiting to get yours hands on this, book #3 and you won't be disappointed.
If you're reading this review but haven't had the pleasure of meeting the controlling, alpha that is Daniel yet, go! Go and get these three books - you won't be disappointed! 310
310 Oh my...I am a little sad its over but what a ride!!. Completely devoured this book the day it was released, Bethany is such a beautiful person and man can she take what Daniel dishes and dish it right back. Daniel...I wanted to hate him, slap him but mostly just wanted to shag his hot hot self. The story is a complete roller coaster and brilliantly written. I can't believe this is a debut series. I am sure there will be more from this talent. I hope so. 310
