quotes

"Yes, you do. And it doesn't even matter, because I'm not putting on a show here, Heiress. I'm not playing at being overprotective or pretending that, for once in my life, I want to do the right thing. I love you. I would die to protect you. I would make you hate me to keep you safe because damn it, Avery—some things are too precious to gamble. This is who I want to be, for you."

"You make me see myself as a person who's capable of anything. I would jump out of a plane with you, snowboard down the side of a volcano with you, bet everything that I have on you—on us, against the world. You don't get to run off and take risks and expect me to stay behind in a gilded cage of your making. That isn't who you are, and it's not what I want. You, have always made me bold. You're the one who pushes me out of my comfort zone. You don't get to box me back in now."

Just like the previous books, this kept me guessing the motives of Hawthorne bringing her into the fold and giving her his inheritance. The ending made sense and made reading the trilogy worth it. I don't plan to read the other books that follow as they're extra and not necessarily continuing the current story line but seem more like a companion style book but after the events of the trilogy.

The third book in The Inheritance Games trilogy, The Final Gambit is a nice wrap up of Avery’s story. Unfortunately this book wasn’t quite 4 stars the way the first two were. Some of Avery’s thoughts were, imo, too repetitive. Also the romantic angst for Avery choosing between Jameson and Grayson was just a bit too much and went on entirely too long in the narrative of this third book.
