Ethan Frost #3
Exposed
Ethan Frost, the irresistible leading man from the New York Times bestsellers Ruined and Addicted, returns once again in Exposed—a novel that’s perfect for fans of J. Kenner and Sylvia Day.
Will Ethan Frost go too far for the woman he loves?
The moment Chloe Girard walked into my life, she exposed secrets and emotions I always thought were best kept buried.
She wants to move on, to ignore the past. But I can’t do that. Not when she still suffers. And not when the man who hurt her remains unscathed. So when I discover the perfect opportunity to make him pay for what he did to Chloe, I can’t walk away, no matter the consequences.
But there’s a fine line between justice and obsession. As I turn up old crimes and new lies, I know that I’m playing with fire—and risking the very foundations of our relationship.
My love for Chloe is absolute. I just hope it’s enough to save us both.

2.5 - "I can't let go." Stars.
It turns out it is possible to rewrite the same things again and again over almost 3 books with just enough differences and a few twists in the plot-line so that it keeps things fluid. I won't argue that sometimes that can be a good thing, but I find myself looking at the review I wrote for Addicted, the second book in the Ethan Frost series, and I am struggling to find much more to say that is any different to what I already have.
This series started out with one of the best opening chapters I have read in a long while, it was that good I still remember it, but since then it seem's to have drifted off into average, which is a shame, as I have become a big fan of this authors writing recently.
The main problem I have is that Chloe is still on the same assume, overreact, melt-down and apologize cycle she has pretty much been on since the middle of book one, and Ethan hasn't really learnt that much from his past mistakes in relation to full disclosure with her, and is still for the most part doing what he thinks is right, and not telling her about it half of the time.
The first half of the book is pretty much sex, 'I love you' followed by more sex with the inclusion of then there are a few more 'I love yous' followed by them having more sex, and the inevitable row.
I have come to have high expectations from Tracy Wolff, but sometimes a story needs more than just well written sex to carry the bulk of it. The situation with Ethan's brother was well executed, and I loved that Chloe's BFF Tori had more page time, there is a story to be told at some point with her, I am betting.
I had put this couple to bed at the end of book two, their inclusion in the interim in the Play Me novella series was a great little catch-up, but in all honestly the first half of this book could have been easily cut down into a couple of chapters, I think it would have helped the flow of the rest of the book, if it hadn't taken so long to get going.
Not sure in all honesty, whether I will be looking to read the next installment, but never say never!

ARC received for review
Another great installment in Ethan and Chloe's HEA. We get to hear both POVs in this one, and it flowed seamlessly from one to the other. Wow, now that's a wedding day/night. Plus we get to see more of her BFF, Tori and his BFF, Sebastian. I sure wasn't expecting the story of Brandon come to that end. Still want to slap his momma. And there's another part to their story, Flawed. I long do I have to impatiently wait for it. Side note..can Tori and Miles hook-up?

When I received this book through net gallery I was really excited, since it is a continuation of a series I wanted to give the author the benefit and I got the first two so I would know exactly what was happening. The series is ok but the were many places within each book (this one included) that seemed to stall. The internal dialogue of the major characters seemed to constantly repeat to the point of almost boredom.

Book 3 of the series - that all involved cliffhangers! I liked book 3 more than book 2 - but book 1 was the obvious stand out. I think it's hard to keep engagement and balance with 1 couple over the course of 3 books without adding in a lot of extra sabotaging. So ya this still had a bit of running away drama, but again - better storyline than book 2! These are very quick, easy enjoyable reads though!
I felt like for how long the series was the ending was pretty abrupt and not as wrapped with swoon as I would have liked - but I am guessing we will see a bit more of them in book 4 which will now be about Chloe's brother and her best friend. That should be interesting! Plus I see a spin-off series of Ethan's best friend Sebastian.

Ethan Frost finally has Chloe Girard back in his life. His guilt for what his family has done to her is driving him to fix it. Chloe though wants to let it go. As he investigates more into his brother's shady past he knows he can't leave it alone.
Ethan and Chloe are about to get married, a private event but Chloe makes it clear that they are starting their future together. Their future will not be tainted by secrets. Ethan doesn't want Chloe hurt again but he understands she wont waver. Secrets are exposed and as they begin their new life together something happens that will change everything.
Unfortunately I had not read the previous books, however I was able to fill in the gaps. I would recommend going back and reading in order, which I will do. I liked this story quite a bit, I liked reading Ethan's feelings as everything unfolds. Had some fascinating characters I would be interested in reading more about maybe in other books. Several twists in the story and an ending I was not expecting. Excellent.

I would like to thank Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept via Net galley for my copy and I am also involved in the blog tour.
Having not read the previous books in this series, I felt I must have missed out a little bit, but once I got into 20% of this it didn't seem to make a difference to me. I picked it up OK.
This is a hot intense emotional read.
Something happened to Chloe in her past that Ethan wants to "put right" he cannot move on from what he discovered about her, who did it, and he was out there....
Chloe wants to just 'move on'.
How can you judge that Ethan is a bad guy? He wants justice. But yes, he has to return to evil ways to accomplish this.
I was tossed and torn with the judgement in my mind of it all. Still am.
BUT this was an emotionally charged read, excellent, I need to read more of this authors books. I like her style.

Ethan and Chloe are finally back together after all the turmoil with their ugly pasts and secrets. But Ethan´s brother Brandon isn´t done..
Escaping to Vegas gives Ethan even more ammunition against Brandon, but will he use them? Can Chloe and Ethan finally get past everything and just live their life together instead?
Emotions, smutty fluff and a day of reckoning for Brandon, in a great combo.
Love this couple!

The ending brings it to 4 stars
Honestly I thought Ethan and Chloe's story was over with the last book. In essence you had a HFN scenario. Well, the troubles are not over for this couple but more happiness lies around the corner.
Told through alternating POV, the story starts with Ethan's thoughts on getting Chloe back in his life. My problem was that the first third of the book was too much inner dialogue and not enough story. Ethan's thoughts were just too much. I really love him as a book boyfriend but his thoughts were too flowery for me. Unfortunately, I found myself skimming a lot of the beginning of the book because if it wasn't their thoughts then it was simply them having sex and I yearned to get to the story.
The great news was that around the sixty percent mark we get to more of a story being told and I couldn't be happier. It really picks up from there and really got my attention. I was wondering how things were going to work out and honestly I didn't see things going down like they did. Another saving grace to the story is Tori's continued involvement as Chloe's best friend. She is so funny and I absolutely love her. It would be great to get more of Tori's story. I haven't cheated to look ahead and see what Flawed is going to be about. Hopefully it won't be more problems for Ethan and Chloe, I really just want their HEA to stick.

Wowzer now with this one you author is really giving you the meat of it all. With the truth layed bare between them but their love still remains. This author will give you if it is strong enough for Ethan and Chloe to do more than survive but thrive and grow. Not everything though that the brother tried to bury will stay that way with the picture crumbling that has been painted revealing his nature and the darkness that resides in there. Something like a funhouse mirror public face but a illusion all the same. Finally this author will let you witness their joining though something anticipated but uncertain you thought would ever come to be. I think though this one is really solid and now that time will tell if they can together overcome what may come their way. Together stronger because divided they were not functional. The heat is also turned up so have those mitts on and handle with care at times so not to get burned. Evil will get its payday but who exactly pulled the plug is the mystery. New life will also spring forth that at the conclusion will leave you happy as a clam. So can something exposed with leaving you raw come back and heal? Yes indeed this author will give it to you like it is because love is funny that way what it can do. Received a copy for a honest review.

The third installment of the amazing Ethan Frost picks up exactly where Addicted ended minus the epilogue. I really liked how Tracy Wolff progressed the story and wove in the Play Me books as well.
Although both Ethan and Chloe are more secure in their relationship there is still a huge amount of insecurity of both sides, exasperated by turbulent relationships and past emotional damage. Although they have both grown as characters they still have a long way to go. The need for openness and honesty within their relationship is a challenge for both of them.
Ethan takes protecting Chloe to the extreme and at the detriment of their relationship. Chloe is a lot stronger than he gives her credit for. I really liked Chloe’s character development in this book, she has moved past the trauma, concentrating on the good in her life – focusing on the positive rather than the negative that cannot be changed.
The plot takes a look at the inadequacies of the justice system and how the victim can be vilified as opposed to commended for their courage in the face of suffering.
Exposed rounds out Chloe and Ethan’s relationship and peripheral plot nicely.

Did not finish. Stopped at 47%. I just couldn't read anymore.
Oh my gosh, seriously. Is this story on repeat??? Sex, there is A LOT of it, too much. Here is how it played out... they rehash the past, have sex, fight, rehash, sex, really good story, fight, fight, sex, sex, rehash, really good story, rehash, fight.... seriously, this book needs a ton more new story!!! What's sad is that the concept is great, it's the delivery that needs some work.
Then there is Chloe. She needs to grow up.

Exposed is book three in the Ethan Frost series, and it's aptly named. Exposed is all about bringing Brandon to justice about raping Chloe. The book starts out with Chloe and Ethan in a head to head, and then a Vegas wedding. If you've followed this series then you know the turbulence that they've been through along the way. I love this series and the author. Once you start one of these books you just can't put them down. Overall entertainment in the highest form of love....five stars. I loved it!

Fantastic conclusion to the series. Ethan and Chloe have dealt with so much to be together he should just be happy. But with Brandon still out there, running for congress, without a care is too much for Ethan. He wants to make him pay. Can he live with the consequences or will this be another barrier to Ethan and Chloe getting their HEA??
I really loved this series and I think this was a perfect conclusion. I highly recommend all the books in this series.

REVIEW: EXPOSED is the third installment in Tracy Wolff’s adult, contemporary Ethan Frost erotic romance series focusing on billionaire CEO Ethan Frost and legal intern Chloe Girard. EXPOSED should not be read as a stand alone as each of the previous books is interconnected and tells the continuing story of our leading couple.
Told from two first person points of view (Ethan and Chloe) EXPOSED begins immediately after the events of book two -ADDICTED -wherein our couple is trying to rebuild their relationship in the face of misunderstanding and lies. In the previous book Chloe came face to face with her past-a past that is directly connected to the man that she loves-and in this our couple struggled to keep their relationship from imploding. EXPOSED focuses on Ethan’s need for revenge and the ensuing fall out of the plans he put into motion. Millions of dollars, the Vegas mob, and the revelation of several more victims finds Ethan and Chloe facing a chasm of betrayal, retribution and the ultimate revenge against a family member with political aspirations and a psychopathic personality.
There are still some issues of insecurity and trust between Chloe and Ethan-Chloe wants to move forward while Ethan is determined to mete out revenge. The relationship between Chloe and Ethan, and thusly the storyline, is sexually graphic with a good portion of the story focusing on their love, lust and need for one another. The $ex scenes are numerous, emotional, erotic and intense but the sex talk becomes repetitive and redundant-there are only so many times the use of the word ‘baby’ should come into play-if at all- during $ex.
The secondary and supporting characters include Chloe’s amazing best friend Tori as well as Ethan’s best friend Sebastian Caine whom we met in the spin off series PLAY ME. Some of the timeline overlaps between EXPOSED and PLAY ME. Ethan’s mother and his half brother Brandon play an integral role in the final outcome of the story.
The world building continues to follow the building relationship of Chloe and Ethan, but no longer focuses on the professional side of the relationship wherein Ethan is Chloe’s boss and therefore their love is taboo. The focus now centers on Ethan’s promise to protect Chloe at all costs, even if it means placing himself in danger and in a position to lose everything that he owns. There is also the aspect of a permanent future between our leading couple.
EXPOSED is a fast paced and revealing storyline about two people facing improbable odds and an all consuming love for one another. There are moments of betrayal and revenge; romance and love; moving forward and letting go. EXPOSED is an intoxicating read with tragic scenarios, dysfunctional family values, and an encouraging look to the future. Tracy Wolff writes a passionate storyline that will captivate your imagination.

- this review is for the first three books of the series -
Chloe is a college student achieving to be a lawyer and starts her first job as an intern at Frost Industries and guess what, she meets the boss on her first day. But she doesn’t know it. And that’s what makes Ethan Frost so damn fascinated about Chloe. Fascinated enough to make her his.
“God, Chloe, you feel so good”, he tells me, his voice as darks and smooth and seductive as the chocolate bar I keep at the bottom of my purse in case of emergencies. “
Chloe had a bad past when it comes to men (and even her family) because of a man who ruined her life so she can't just fall for his words. But at the same time she can't not fall for him.
So when Chloe finally opens up about her past to Ethan and thinks that finally she will have some peace, her biggest fear and secret stands just around the corner, much more closer that she (or Ethan) ever imagined.
“You’re in my blood. You’re in my heart, in my brain, in very fabric of my soul. You’re an addiction, one I’ll never get enough of. I love you, Chloe Girard. I love you more that you cold ever possibly imagine.”
Now, Ethan is set in protecting the woman he loves, although all he can seem to do his hurt her along the way, making it hard for Chloe to trust him. But thankfully, love always wins and theirs was no different.
“She says I’m her addiction, her obsession. It only seems fair since she’s that and so much more to me. She’s my heart, my soul, my everything and she has been almost from the moment we met.”
When I started reading the book I thought “I’m so going to love this!”, and I did. I really loved the story because although Chloe's story seems out of this world, the true is that it happens more than we can imagine. I loved Ethan freaking Frost, he’s the most patient, loving and sexy man ever. Although Chloe blames Ethan for everything and anything I loved her personality and the fact that she doesn’t takes shit from anyone, even Ethan. And most important their chemistry is out of this world. I loved Tory and the fact that sometimes she was the one who made Chloe see some reason.
“Touching her, kissing her, makes it easier for me to breathe”
This really is 5 star romance with no BDSM elements (that’s why I loved it even more) but with an happy ending.

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
I love Tracey's writing, but somehow hadn’t read the first two books in the series ( now on my wish list!!)
The book starts off with a bang, and I was pulled in to the story very quickly. I love Ethan, he’s a fabulous character, but I did get a bit irritated at Chloe’s tendency to leave to avoid confrontation...though of course Ethan understands why, she’s had to do it in the past for self protection. It’s become a kind of auto movement. One of the people that’s hurt her so badly is Ethan’s brother and Ethan himself had helped cover it up, and he feels so, so guilty over that. You can’t change the past though, so he’s determined to make Brandon pay now.
Brandon is running for election and with even more power Ethan fears he’ll abuse more women. He’s done it to others besides Chloe, and each has been paid off.....so he looks clean, even though he’s anything but. Chloe though just wants to put it all behind her, and move on and she and Ethan have a lot of friction over this. He says he’ll do anything for her, and then just won’t do the only thing she wants. You can see what problems lie ahead.
At first I was a bit downhearted because there was sex, pages and pages of it, and it began to get dull, repetitive and it seemed to them sex was the answer to everything. I do like sex in a novel, but I needed some story with it for balance and it wasn’t til about 30% in that I felt the proper ( for me) sex v story mix came. From then on it was an intense read, with things happening constantly, and more of Brandon’s secrets coming out of the woodwork involving gambling debts, and him owing some very unsavoury and dangerous people. It comes to a head, and what Ethan has feared and been trying to avoid happens, and he’s terrified Chloe will hate the media storm that’s bound to follow. She’s tougher than he thinks though – and she’s got her own secret to reveal!
Stars: Four, that sex ovetaking story at the start stopped this from a five for me, but they are great characters and I thoroughly enjoyed this book, even though I'd not read earlier ones.

***ARC provided through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*** **May contain spoilers if you haven't read the first two books!**
Ethan Frost couldn't be happier. He's back with Chloe and they are getting married. There's only one problem, he can't get over what his half-brother did to her seven years before. No matter how much Chloe wants him to leave it alone, he simply can not do it.
After receiving more info about Brandon from the P.I. he hired, Ethan formulates a plan to make sure his brother doesn't succeed in his political aspirations. Ethan calls on a friend of his, Sebastian, while he is in Vegas for his wedding. It seems a member of the mob, in that area, is helping to fund Brandon's campaign. Sebastian sets up a meeting with Nico, the mob boss. Chloe overhears the conversation and practically begs Ethan not to go. He tells her he has to, he needs to protect her.
Ethan and Sebastian meet with Nico. He tells Nico that he will pay off Brandon's gambling debts if he stops funding his campaign. When Ethan returns from the meeting, Chloe is nowhere to be found, Tori, Chloe's best friend who came to see their wedding, has checked out too. The only thing going through Ethan's mind is: she left me again.
I was so happy to see another Ethan Frost book! This one has a little bit more action and tense moments. You get to see Ethan at his best and at his worst. He's so protective of Chloe that sometimes he forgets she's pretty good at handling things on her own.
Tori is, by far, my favorite supporting character. She is an awesome best friend. I only wish there would have been more about her. She has a story of her own and I hope we get to read it one day! Maybe she could get with Sebastian, at least then she couldn't say he just wants her dad's money.
Ethan and Chloe's relationship has already hit a few bumps in the road. Are they strong enough to survive a few more? Do they love each other enough? Grab a copy of this book and find out! It will leave you wanting more.
Greatly recommended to everyone!

Full Review @ Naomi’s Reading Palace
I have read all the books in this series so far – the Ethan Frost books and the Play Me novella spinoff’s – so when I heard Ethan’s series was continuing, I was extremely excited (doing my happy dance) to dive back into this world. I think that Exposed may be my favourite book in the series so far.
Both Ethan and Chloe have grown throughout the series and I was able to see how much they had in this book. They were willing to fight for one another, on more than one occasion, and were able to show each other the depth of their love. There were plenty of twists for them to get past, but they worked together instead of running.
The problems of their pasts resurfaced in this book, and Ethan tried to take control and resolve it. This particular element had me on edge and eagerly flicking the pages. I had no idea what was going to happen and I didn’t see the twist coming that had me gasping. The passion between Chloe and Ethan continues to escalate and every time they are together their love continues to build. They aren’t always tender moments, and sometimes their need for one another is overwhelming.
There are a few good side characters in this series and Tori is one of them. She is great support for Chloe, she helped her through a few hard times and a lot of exciting times too. She always speaks her mind and doesn’t hold back with her witty remarks!
Tracy Wolff sucked me into her world once again and I didn’t want the story to end. I like all the characters and feel their emotions as they deal with the good and bad elements that they have to face. I was left wanting more and hanging until after Christmas… sobs… It is an incredible series and I hope you take the chance and give it a go too.

The story continues with Ethan proving that Chloe indeed is a woman worth fighting for. He's determined to make things right with her past if it's the last thing he does. Things get more complicated for them, but they are indeed brought closer together at the same time. If you enjoyed Ethan and Chloe's passion in the previous books, then you won't be disappointed in the least. Their erotic encounters are beautifully told. We learn a lot more regarding Ethan's brother Brandon, who has been the cause of so much pain in Chloe's life. Loving Ethan isn't a question for Chloe, he is her one true love. She urges him to leave the past alone, but there isn't any stopping him. She is aware that it won't matter what she begs of him, he won't stop until things are set right. Ethan is unaware of the true danger that is lying ahead for them both. The real question is will their love be able to survive what's to come?
So, there you have it Exposed is about the unconditional love, and how one is willing to go for the other. I have no doubt that Chloe wouldn't do the same for Ethan, and I see some obstacles a head for them. I also see a growth of love that can't be compared to any other. I adore this couple and am rooting for a very happily ever after. When life becomes tough Ethan is a savior for so many. The story delves deep into the actual dark side of Ethan's family, and I'm positive that Ethan is the only good egg. It actually crossed my mind that he was adopted because his goodness is the total opposite from the people who raised him.
As a side note, this series needs to be read in succession to understand the full story. In Exposed the points of view alternate between each character, which adds to the story's beauty. If you haven't read Tracy Wolff, I highly recommend her books. I would also advise starting with these series and can guarantee you won't want to stop. I am looking forward to the next installment and hope it never ends.

Sometimes evil wins...
There's just something special about Tracy Wolff's style of writing that I connect with. Her flow is so smooth and very descriptive. I don't mean visual description, I mean thoughts and emotions. She puts us inside the minds and the hearts of the characters and makes us feel what they are experiencing. So of course EXPOSED put me through a tsunami that went from sexy, to sweet, to funny, to sad, to furious, to fear, to surprise, to anxiety. The suspense is really cranked up in this story. There are so many layers and details and I found myself pulling out my Criminal Minds profiling skills as I predicted the outcome. I knew the turmoil that Ethan was suffering due to his guilt regarding the tragic event that turned Chloe into the broken version of herself that he fell in love with. Of course he wasn't knowingly involved. He was lied to by those he trusted, believing that he was helping. Now that secrets are being uncovered and transgressions are piling up, he just can't let it go. He feels compelled to take action, in spite of Chloe's insistence that he leave it alone. Can he find a way to accomplish his 'plan' without losing the love of his life in the process? Can he let it go if she makes him choose? Did you know that his buddy, sexy Sebastian was gonna be in this book How cool is that? And have you experienced, "The universe according to Tori?" I love Chloe's best friend, Tori. She is also broken, hiding her painful past and drinking away her sorrows. I'm very anxious for the author to let me inside her head. In the meantime I'm enjoying the hell out of her sassy mouth as she doesn't even bother to hide her crush on "Ethan f*@king Frost". She tells Chloe that every other woman feels the same way and that "you'd better get used to wading through the drool." She's gonna get her own book, right? Please?

I fell in love with Ethan Frost immediately. Following his and Chloe's journey has been exciting. The dual POVs was great, I like seeing the differences in Ethan and Chloe and how they relate and/or react to the same things (e.g. Chloe's rape).
As much as I hated Ethan's brother Brandon, I liked that the author tied up those loose strings concerning him. Chloe's story broke my heart and seeing how it tore up Ethan as well just made me love Mr. Frost even more. His dedication to Chloe is beautiful. I cried as I read this, just imaging in my minds eye each moment in the book. I could feel the stress and frustration that Ethan experienced trying to deal with what was happening. Even though he wasn't the direct victim in the tragedy, his part in the aftermath hit him hard. Plus, his love for Chloe and wanting justice for her, however it came about, was an intensely driving force. The fact that it was his own brother made it worse for him. Watching as Ethan and Chloe work through their fast-moving relationship as well as everything else that was thrown at them has been exciting. They deserve their HEA most definitely.
I love how we saw more of Tori and Sebastian (the BFF's respectively). I also LOVE how Chloe's brother finally stepped up on her behalf. About time!! Between her family and Ethan's I was going crazy with hate towards them.
The world works in mysterious ways and karma will always find you. I liked that karma smacked Brandon in the face. He deserved it.
I throughly loved this book and will recommend it to all of my book loving friends.

Third in the Ethan Frost series. Amazing, suspenseful, romantic and so emotional. I have fallen in love with Ethan Frost.
This is the third novel in the Ethan Frost series by Ms. Wolff. It is my favorite.
Ethan and Chloe have finally worked through Ethan's anger and Chloe's fear. The one danger in their relationship is Brandon, Ethan's brother. We learned in the first two books in the series of his cruelty, her family's cruelty and even Ethan's responsibility for hurting Chloe. Chloe wants to put it away and start fresh, she begs Ethan to let it go for her sake........but he can't.
Now that they are together again, Ethan has planned a quick getaway to Las Vegas to get married. Chloe's best friend Tori has invited herself along and whisks Chloe off for a day of buying and spa treatments. Ethan's PI has reported more dirt about Brandon. He's hooked into the Vegas Mafia, he's a serious gambler, thus the need for mob money, and Chloe is not his only victim. It's tearing Ethan apart to know his brother is now running for Congress with endorsements he set up before he learned the truth. Ethan is going to take him down.
This novel is edgy, very sexy and romantic. Ethan has promised to not lie to Chloe anymore, and Chloe has promised to stop running away. These promises are hard to keep, especially when the unthinkable happens and brings Ethan to his knees. This series makes you think, the romance melts your heart while sparks are flying. I highly recommend these books , but they are best read in order.

" Exposed" , picks up with Ethan and Chloe back together after a week of emotional hell. And being separated ,and of course Ethan had to grovel, but to have Chloe back in his life it was worth it. Ethan is not taking any chances and loosing Chloe again, he has proposed and is whisking her away to Vegas to get married.
Ethan , however can no live with what his brother Brandon did to Chloe , and how he used it against her and Ethan recently; Ethan has concocted a plan to get even with Brandon and he will need the help of one of his best freinds Sebastion( we met Sebastion in the Play With Me Series) .
Ethan's plans though go against what Chloe wants she just wants to put it all behind her and move on with her life , but Ethan is determined to destroy Brandon.
Ethan has arranged for a beautiful wedding, leading up to a romantic , sexy and hot wedding night, but will his determination to seek revenge cost him Chloe again? Will his revenge cost him even more, it is high risk, could it cost a life?
Will it cost more than this billionaire is willing to pay? Will Ethan be able to look past his revenge and accept the gift he as in Chloe?
Such a phenominal read, looking foward to book four!
You need not read the Play with Me series to enjoy the book, but it does give you more insight into both Ehan and the Sebastion cross over Character's!

This review was originally posted on Bookish Things & More Quickie Review
I cannot explain the love I have for Ethan and Chloe. This book is definitely one that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, and hope you come out happy in the end.
Exposed starts up right where Addicted left off. And we get to see more ups and downs between Ethan and Chloe. Ethan can't let go of what Brandon did to her, and has done to other girls. He wants to attack him full force where it would hurt him. Chloe still battles with if she deserves Ethan. She still sees herself as dirty sometimes, and doesn't want to face the past.
There are times in books where things could be cleared up with just talking about it, but this isn't one of those books. Talking about it doesn't help Ethan or Chloe's feelings. They have to face the problem head on. And doing that takes them down some dark roads. But you want to have hope that they can come out better, and feel like they have cleansed themselves of the past that lurks behind them.
Things definitely aren't easy. There are fights, make up sessions, and emotions that will gut you, but maybe their love for each other can conquer everything they've endured.
I'm sad to see this series end, but hopeful that we'll see bits and pieces of them in the spin off series.

Exposed picks up where we left off with Chloe and Ethan together but shaky at times. Ethan clearly struggles with the intensity of his feelings for Chloe and has a difficult time dealing with his part in her past. Ethan is out for revenge against Brandon, his brother but Chloe just wants to move past it. Chloe doesn't want Ethan to hold onto his anger and she is worried that he will not be able to step back into the person she fell in love with. Complicating the problem, Ethan loves his brother and he is warring with himself as he plots Brandon's demise.
Chloe really developed over the length of this series into a strong, independent woman. She always had all of the qualities but they have developed in her relationship with Ethan even more. She stands up for her opinions and needs and she doesn't want his constant protection even after everything she has been through.
I enjoyed Ethan's interaction with his best friend Sebastian and would have loved to have even more of it. If you haven't read Sebastian's books, read those as well. It helps you understand the conversations that take place between Ethan and Sebastian and gives you more information for what is to come in the next book.
This is a solid series with engaging storylines and fantastic character development.

I received a copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads, so here is my review. I have loved Ethan and Chloe from the very beginning. The pain and heartbreak they go through makes me wonder if it is possible for them to have a happily ever after. In this one, the third book of the series, Chloe comes back to Ethan where she belongs. Ethan wants to make it permanent so they head to Vegas to get married. While there, they meet up with Sebastian, Ethan's best friend, and Chloe doesn't know why but she doesn't question it. When she learns what Ethan is planning, she tries to talk him out of it. Going after Brandon will only make things worse for them. Things will happen in this book that you will not believe and it will keep you glued to every single page just to find out what is going to happen next. I can't wait for Flawed (coming soon), wonder what Tracy Wolff has in store for Ethan and Chloe. If you haven't started reading this series, I recommend you do and soon. You will not be disappointed.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads
Although this is called Ethan Frost 3 it actually sits neatly between the last chapter of book 2 and its Epilogue. I loved it! You do need to have read the other two books to make any sense of it - and why wouldn't you as they are a good read.
Here we read of Ethan's need to right the wrong which was done to Chloe when she was 15. Chloe, however, wants it to remain buried forever. Somehow this newly married couple have to learn each other, and learn compromise - a concept which is somewhat alien to Ethan ... For me this book did the reader a great service, in showing just how both the leads had developed and grown through their romance. It was dramatic, but not traumatic. There was darkness, but also much lightness and humour. A few of the lines were fun, and I read them out to a friend as they amused me so much.
This book for me made the story complete, although if another in the series were written, I would snap it up ... but my imagination will otherwise fill in the blanks!

**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**
Exposed gives us more insight into Ethan and what is driving him to destroy Brandon. I do love that it is a dual POV. I think it works very well in this book.
I got a little bored in Addicted, I can say I was not at all in Exposed. More characters were added into the mix that were great additions. I loved to hate Ethan's mother, great character/conflict with that one.
I look forward to Flawed to see what will happen next.
Exposed gives us more insight into Ethan and what is driving him to destroy Brandon. I do love that it is a dual POV. I think it works very well in this book.

A great addition to the Ethan Frost series. Chloe and Ethan have decided to marry and to have a quick Vegas ceremony. But Ethan can't forget the terrible attack that Chloe had to endure at the hands of his brother Brandon, and on investigating him he finds he has attacked several women. and Ethan decided he needs to be stopped.
This story is really hot as Ethan and Chloe can't seem to keep their hands of each other and it is also suspenseful as Ethan comes face to face with his brother.
I really enjoyed this book, it is a very emotional book as we feel Chloe's pain, and then Ethan will give all he can to help her. A wonderful guy! A wonderful story!
I can't wait for book 4.

I received a copy of the ARC from NetGalley In exchange for an honest review.
Chloe and Ethan’s journey continues in the third instalment of the Ethan Frost series by Tracy Wolff. The author brilliantly shows the reader via Chloe and Ethan’s point of views that their feelings are genuine. Their words and actions give great insight into their past, their fears and their hopes for a future. Exposed is a true page-turner that is character driven. The secondary characters add depth to this read. Will their unresolved past issues block their future? Can Chloe and Ethan have a happily ever after? The reader will not want their story to end as the characters are so endearing.
