My Review

★★★★☆

I'll say it again... With a family like Eric's, who really needs enemies? They are a den of slithering snakes, a clan of game players and back stabbers, and they are truly evil. They would have to be to reap such havoc on his and Harper's lives. Luckily Eric has a plan to rid them from their lives, once and for all. It involves taking risks, putting their new relationship on the line, but it will be worth it if it grants them their happily ever after.

I love Eric so much! This man, this savant, this SEAL, this self-made billionaire, this honorable and incredible man earned a special place in my heart. I loved him for his inner strength and for his vulnerabilities. I admired his perseverance and his ability to see the big picture. I never doubted him and I'm glad that Harper learned not to as well. I must admit that I found parts of their dialogue and Harper's inner thoughts a bit repetitive, but I was still able to be wowed by this couple's romance. The Empire perfectly wrapped up the love and intrigue that the Filthy Trilogy successfully portrayed and I can't wait to see where all of these characters end up next!
