Immoral Ties

The Immoral Series, Book 3

Narrated in duet by Christian Black and Laurie West....I never thought we’d survive the wilderness.

Making it out with all our lives intact has been our main focus for so long.

But now we’re safe. Except all our lives have been irrevocably changed.

How are we supposed to go back to the people we were before the crash when those people no longer exist?

Darius finds himself thrown back into a superstardom like he’s never known before.

Cade is fighting old demons that rise from his past.

Reed is forced to keep our secret, aware how people will judge him.

As for me…I’m more lost now than I was in the wilderness.

We need each other now more than ever before, but we’re damaged. Broken.

Can we find our way back to each other again?

Once in a lifetime

A very dark Reverse Harem book.

The story picks up right where the second book ended.

The darkness doesn’t diminish in this third and final installment—quite the opposite.
While the previous books were filled with despair, uncertainty, and pain, this one adds even more layers: feelings of not belonging and derogatory remarks. Not to mention the prejudice of others, that only make things worse.

They are finally home, but nothing is the same. Nothing feels right.

Life won’t be easy for our main characters. They still have to face several complicated and painful situations before they can finally find some peace and happiness.

The events in this book feel like a rollercoaster, with twists that either leave your heart pounding or stuck in your throat.

But thankfully—finally—they get the HEA they truly deserve.


Audiobook:

The narrators were excellent throughout the trilogy. One female voice and one male voice, performed as a duet.

They bring the characters to life beautifully. You can really feel:
- how lost the FMC is and the darkness she goes through,
- the distinct personalities of the MMCs: the calmer and more sensitive stepbrother, the more stubborn and hot-headed one, and the mature yet sometimes indecisive stepfather

What they all share is their possessiveness toward the FMC—which she clearly embraces.

Could these guys catch a break?

As if the ordeal they went through wasn’t enough for a lifetime, reentering the world after the crash has been crazy. In between the paparazzi and judge mental and nosey people they’ve had to do endure other hardships not to mention the trauma from the whole experience. Great book! I really enjoyed listening!.

When Survival Ends but the Damage Doesn’t

Immoral Ties is not an easy read—and it’s not meant to be.

This final installment doesn’t wrap things up in a neat, comforting bow. Instead, it leans hard into the emotional fallout of everything these characters endured, asking a difficult question: what happens after survival… when you still have to live with what it cost you?

Laney is at the center of it all, and her struggle feels heavy, raw, and painfully real.

She’s not okay—and the story doesn’t pretend she is. Her grief, anxiety, and sense of being completely lost after the wilderness are written in a way that’s hard to ignore. There’s a constant tension between who she was, who she’s become, and whether there’s any way back from the trauma she’s carrying.

The relationships around her are just as complicated.

Darius, Cade, and Reed are all dealing with their own damage, but instead of finding solid ground together, they often feel like they’re drifting—pulled between loyalty, secrecy, and their own unresolved issues. Their dynamic is messy, flawed, and at times frustrating, but that chaos reflects the emotional reality the story is trying to capture.

Because this book isn’t about perfect people making good choices.

It’s about broken people making human ones.

There are moments that feel uncomfortable, moments that make you question decisions, and moments where you wish things had been handled differently. But that discomfort seems intentional—it mirrors the instability of their world and the way trauma doesn’t resolve itself cleanly or quickly.

What stands out most is the emotional intensity.

Laney’s internal battles, the weight of what they’re all hiding, and the pressure of returning to a world that expects them to be “normal” again—it all builds into something that feels suffocating at times. And yet, that same intensity is what keeps you reading, wanting to see if they can somehow find a way forward.

The story does pick up in the beginning and the end, where the tension and action feel sharper and more engaging. The middle leans heavily into internal struggle, which may not work for every reader—but it undeniably deepens the emotional core of the book.

This is a series that commits to its tone all the way through.

Dark. Twisted. Taboo. Unapologetic.

And Immoral Ties stays true to that, delivering a conclusion that feels consistent with everything that came before—even if it’s not always comfortable.

If you’re looking for:
🖤 emotionally heavy, character-driven storytelling
🖤 complicated, morally gray relationships
🖤 trauma-centered narratives that don’t shy away from the hard parts
🖤 a dark romance that stays dark until the very end

…this is a series worth finishing.

Because sometimes love doesn’t fix everything.
Sometimes it just gives you something to hold onto… while you try to survive what comes after.

Are they safe now that they are home?

This is the third book in the series and begins where the previous one ended. Back among other people, there will obviously be some changes to how they all act. I felt a rollercoaster of emotions for the characters as they processed their feelings now that they are "safe" and back home. The ending was absolutely perfect. Pick up the entire series today.

Lots of healing and good voice acting

This is a hard book to get through NOT because it wasn’t amazing because it truly was so good, but because every moment of healing that each of our favorite people went through was raw in real. The DUET narration was amazing.
