We have finally made it to the event
that has been pending this whole summer. The final book in the Splendor Trilogy

seductive from the beginning but before the big day there are issues to take

If you have followed this series, you have watched Tessa bloom and grow but there are somethings that haunt you no matter the time that has pasted. Tessa finds this out but with Ian at her side she can persevere. I had got wrapped up in this series and very much enjoyed every minute of the ups and downs. The emotional. The happy. The fun. The endearing moments between Ian and Tessa.
I would say go out get all three of these beautifully crafted novels that depict the epic romance between Ian and Tessa. And then send a thank you to Janet Nissenson for the work she has done given us a romance to read many times over again throughout the years.

Shut the front door. I got what I was wanting and so much more. Now, I know for certain that I need to get a hold of the original Splendor. I have to see the beginning of what made this story so hot that it had to have a prequel. Not one prequel but two with a third in the works. Janet Nissenson makes it plain in her disclaimers that this story is more of an expanded version of the original book. She felt these two had a much bigger story to share. I have to agree with her. This is certainly turning into a grand love affair.
Tess just completely blossoms within the pages. She comes to life in more ways than one and she makes the most of every opportunity she was given with Ian. Ian was perfect gentleman and the perfect alpha when the need arose when it came to Tess. The heat they shared was able to set the heat index up a few notches. With each tap of the screen for the new page I became more and more needy for what was coming next.
There was so much beauty within the pages of the second. It carried on with the direction of the first. Opening up new avenues for Tess and Ian. Watching the way that Tessa blooms just makes for a sweeter read. Ian cherishes this woman and makes it known to her that she was the one he wanted. There was rich depth and an intensity that made for a more central focus. There were heartwarming moments that make the bond deeper and more.

For someone that knew nothing of the previous book this couple made waves in, I have to say hell yeah. I enjoyed every minute of this story. The everything that I went through to get to the end and still feel that I wanted more. This romance was beautiful in its strength and courage that required on both parties part to endure all that they had to get to the point of still loving the other not mater what was being thrown their way.
Tessa has tragedy in her past life and has to live with the pain and memory of it all. The despair and pain of it all was emotionally draining. She battles it all to find the courage to move on with life and make something for herself and her life. Through it all her beauty shines bright to be seen. It goes past the physical. She exudes the true qualities of a beautiful person inside and out.
Ian, of course, was the rich, alpha, that demand, pushes, and commands his world. That was until the light of Tessa enters his world. She captures him within her rays and she becomes all he can every desire.
I found it all so beautiful and crafted with much detail paid to the event in and around the two leading them in the direction that got every ounce of emotion, angst, pain, depth. All put on paper to consume and become totally completely filled with all that was Tessa and Ian. I don't know what to say. I do want to get to the book in which their love story was made so poignant. What's up next for them? I want more.

The long-awaited prequel to a love story for the ages.
She was the only woman he wanted…but the only one he
couldn’t have
Ian Gregson had been born into wealth and power – one of the
privileged heirs of the top luxury hotel chain in the world. To the outside
world, he was seemingly the man who had everything – money, prestige, good
looks, charisma – a man who could have any woman he desired. But the only woman
he’d ever truly coveted was forbidden to him for far too many reasons to count
– her youth, her employment within his company, and especially her commitment
to another man.
Tessa
Lockwood’s young life has been one of deprivation, misfortune, and
heartbreaking loss. Working for the Gregson Hotel Group offers up a glimpse
into a world she had never before imagined – one of affluence, sophistication,
and splendor. And meeting the suave, elegant Ian Gregson for the very first
time awakens feelings in her that she struggles to repress, never imagining
that a man like him could find a nobody like her attractive.
Ian
and Tessa fight their feelings for the other, knowing that a relationship
between them can never exist. But when matters of the heart are involved,
things are never quite that simple. How long will both of them be able to hold
on before betraying their forbidden attraction to each other? Or will they be
destined to remain forever apart?
