Synopsis 

I should’ve known.

I should’ve listened to my gut.

But I didn’t.

I listened with the wrong head.

And where did it get me?

Secrets.

Lies.

Deceit.

She embodied them all. 

Deceived her way into my company.

Lied about who she was.

Kept secrets from me after convincing me I could trust her.

Those walls she tore down are back up in full force.

Cold. 

Angry. 

Unforgiving.

She was no longer my intern. 

She was no longer mine.

*The Intern is a three-part romantic suspense serial.*

Not suitable for readers under 18.

My Review

Eeeeppp! This final book of The Intern was a bit different than I was expecting but so so good. It picks up right where the Intern 2 left off.Bentley is shocked to learn Ceci's true idenity and feels so betrayed and used from her lies. He cannot believe he let it happen again, let another woman take advantage of him to gain information. Throughout this book, Bentley struggles with his career choices as well as continues to battle his feelings for Ceci.

I have to say, I absolutely LOVE Bentley. Seriously, he is not like the typical Alpha males that we usually read about. He is not the playboy partying type who drowns himself in women and booze when he is going through rough times. But at the same time he is still strong and dominating. He is the perfect mix of everything I love in a leading male character,

Ceci is wrecked. She is sickened and sad with the way things have turned out. She knows she deserved everything she got but it still hurts. Bentley was her first real love and she doesn't know how to let that go

This book takes you though several years of Bentley and Ceci's lives. We see their struggles to move on and get over one another. The mystery of Ceci's dad brings them together in an effort to find out the true story of her past but they are both still so hurt and bitter...the only thing left to say is "goodbye."

Then, after a chance meeting several years after the inital "breakup", Ceci and Bentley see each other again but things have changed. Ceci has seemed to move on but Bentley can't seem to do the same. The intensity and chemistry between the two is explosive and there is no denying it.

They both need to make choices where they stand with one another. They can't seem to stay away from each other but it's too late for them to be anything more than just...friends.

This book was an unexpected twist for me in some ways but all in all it was a great conclusion to their story. I am so sad to see this series end. I am not ready to say goodbye to Bentley and Ceci yet. Their forbidden romance is one of my favorites.
