Can yesterday’s darkness become a new dawn?
I’m on the run from the man I love. ‘Cause sometimes even epic love isn’t enough.
It’s going to haunt me for the rest of my life… however long that turns out to be.
My best option is to hide on a different continent and create a new life. That’s when I get thrown the biggest curveball yet. And just for a moment, a happily ever after seems in reach.
But Tiero vowed to find me. It’s surely only a matter of time.
A showdown is inevitable. How will this all end?

A New Dawn, Book 3 of The Triple Flame trilogy, was the continuation of the story about 26-year-old Ella Rose O'Neil, a guide dog trainer, and 32-year-old Gualtiero "Tiero" Leandro De Marco, the CEO of De Marco Corporation, and the Don of the De Marco family empire, with the added character of 31-year-old Aiden Burg, ex-special forces who later became the head of the training division for the Freemont Security company.
Side Note: I refuse to spoil this story!! I refuse to have spoilers in this book! But I will say one thing, and one thing only. Ya better be ready for it!
This story began five years before the events of Book 1, the prologue being told from Aiden's POV. Chapter 2 picked up where Book 2 left off. Like the two books before it, this story had a supernatural curve to it as well. Just as the other two main characters had received a bit of prophetic insight, Aiden received one in this story. When his team had been betrayed on a mission, and only he and two others survived the attack, Aiden heard a familiar voice whisper beside him, "Your life's purpose has not yet been fulfilled. Hold on. Remember the power of three. When you find it, put a ring on it.". The words did not come from either of the two men who were trapped in the cave with him, so he thought he was experiencing a hallucination due to his injuries.
Chapter 1 returned the reader to the present, and was told from Tiero's POV. Since there were now three main characters for this final story, it was told from three different POVs Ella, Tiero, and Aiden, but it was primarily Ella's. Tiero, determined to find Ella, as well as the mole in his mafia family, had been receiving all sorts of information. Some of the news he got was deliberately falsified to hide Ella's true whereabouts, and some of it was facts regarding the mole(s).
When Ella learned that Tiero had purposely planned to get her pregnant, she decided it was time to make her escape. An opportunity soon showed itself and allowed her to break free from his control. With some unexpected assistance, she managed to avoid Tiero and his men long enough to leave the country. Ella was able to hide from Tiero for a full nine weeks. But he did eventually find her again, and he was not completely happy with what he learned when he did.
It was amazing the twists and turns this story took. All of the angst and drama were OTT. The emotional rollercoaster was one of the worst I've read about to date, and that's saying something. It was a never-ending cycle of emotional turmoil. There were so many plot twists that the reader got sucked into a vortex that spun out of control. It was one of those things that made you remember the Looney Tunes episode where the characters chased each other through one door after another. That was this book from start to finish.
By Chapter 13 I was ready for this book to end, but there were still 44 chapters to complete. This was NOT what some readers call "an unputdownable" series. There was so much information overload that the story soon became overwhelmingly boring. Two main characters constantly spouted incongruous information such as, "Did you know..." and threw out one statistic after another, or another piece of useless trivia that had nothing to do with the story. This went on for nearly the entire book, making it more drawn out than it had to be. By Chapter 17, I had walked away from this story so many times that I almost decided to skim through it just to reach the end. This story was so bogged down with fluff, dwelling on unrelated past events, and the FMC's inner monologues that it took away from the main attraction, which should have been the romance of the story. If the author had left out all of the freaking trivia, random information, and dead-end paths, the story could have ended 30-40 chapters sooner than it did. It wasn't until the last few chapters that the author seemed to wake up and realize she had strayed off course for most of the story and swerved back into the right lane to finish the book in style.
The three main characters were well-developed and mature, but they were written in such a way that they felt flat and unappealing. Tiero was written to be 100% bad, while Ella seemed to be 100% good. Aiden, on the other hand, was written in such a way as to be a fence rider: he was neither good nor bad. He just...was. For Ella, she was the type of character that saw only the "black and white" of any given situation. For her, there was no in-between. Tiero, on the other hand, only saw things from a dark perspective. There was nothing good in life, therefore he could only operate from "the dark side" of any given situation. Aiden, however, fluctuated back and forth between the black and white/gray/multi-colored side of things. It was quite frustrating.
What I find more appalling than the length and tone of this trilogy, however, is the fact that there are THREE more books to read. Yes, you read that correctly. THREE.MORE.BOOKS. There was enough of an uproar regarding how the trilogy ended that the author decided to write alternate endings...multiple alternate endings...to the set. THREE ALTERNATE ENDINGS for the trilogy. The first one is called: "A Second Dawn" and provides a different ending to this story. The second book is called "Always and Forever: The Second Dawn Wedding" and it comes after "A Second Dawn". Still, the third book is called "Happily Ever After: The New Dawn Wedding", which will be published in June 2024, and is the wedding followup to this story. Confused yet? Haven't we been tortured enough by this series?/1 Do we honestly need to consume more rhetoric about these three main characters?! Oh, but it gets worse! They are NOT novellas! The two that are already published are no less than 25 chapters! A Second Dawn has a prologue, 68 chapters, and THREE epilogues!! It appears to be a total rewrite of THIS book, but LONGER! And horror upon horror is that anyone who has read this far...will read all of the new books just to satisfy their curiosity. Will I be among those intrepid readers? Abso-freaking-lutely! Why you might ask? Because I want a different outcome!! I didn't enjoy this trilogy at all. I want something better. For all the bad things I said about this book, it had an ending I never expected, and it was one I didn't enjoy or agree with. No. just. NO. That was NOT how you end a love story!! NO!!
Having finished this book, in fact, this trilogy, I am sitting here a bit stunned. When I first started this book, I had planned to give a rating no higher than two stars. The punctuation and grammar of the story were honestly pretty appalling. The meanderings the story took were nonsensical because they weren't necessary to the story. But it was definitely the ending that broke me and made me change my mind about the rating. So, due to that, I had to raise the bar a bit and give the book a three-star rating. I wanted to give it more, but I just couldn't bring myself to do so. Hopefully one of the alternate endings/writings will give me a better view. I don't know. I might not touch them. I'm just...stunned that a writer would go there.
Beautiful series
