Clarity 3
L**R
FANTASTIC CONCLUSION TO THE CLARITY SERIES!!!!! SHE DID IT AGAIN!!!! A+++++++++++
YAY!!!! I get to be the first to review Clarity 3!!! I have been waiting for book 3 for a while and I was so excited when it came out that I did a happy dance, and not in my chair.... I actually stood up lol. The last book ended on a cliffhanger that left me drooling, wanting more so bad....Clarity 3 continues the story of Helen/Winter a blind writer as she journeys to overcome a tragic incident in her past and learn to trust. In book 3 she is starting a budding romance with her eye doctor as she prepares for a surgery that might restore her sight.I have to say that this writer really knows how to suck you right into the story and hold you there... and reading the story from the perspective of a blind person is really really unique, and this author does such a spectacular job of it that it leaves you looking at the world around you with a whole new perspective and realizing how much beauty in the world we all take for granted on a daily basis. I just want to put down my kindle and go see a sunrise and look at some flowers :)This book has twists and turns that I didn't expect, a few action scenes that had my heart pounding out of my chest, awesome romance and one of the best steamy sex scenes I have ever read!Clarity books one, two and three were such wonderfully written books and the story of Winter will be hard to let go... now I want to know what happens after that..... LOLI would recommend the Clarity books to anyone. They were such fun to read :) I would give this a hundred stars if I could.

We come to the finish
Clarity 3 brings an end to the series and throws in some of the most unexpected and unique twists and turns that I have ever read. There are things in this book that simply blindsided me (no pun intended) as a reader, and that is no easy task. I certainly expected a grand final conflict, but not one with the complexity, deceit, and emotional heart ache that I found. Don’t assume that you know anything in this story yet.It is simply very difficult to review or talk about this book without discussing some really major spoilers. To say that I simply enjoyed this piece is an understatement. I really did love it, but in some ways it is difficult for me to place why. It is somehow too cynical and too hopeful than what I normally enjoy, while also being too sad and too happy for my tastes. It is something that tends to confuse my senses while still being deeply satisfying.I think that perhaps my confusion over Clarity 3 is simply a reflection of Winter’s confusion. This ability to so closely feel and convey the emotions of the character is something incredibly special and that needs to be treasured. That may also be why I rather enjoyed the open-ended ending. I still didn’t know exactly what I thought the right thing for Winter to do was, and so in a lot of ways I didn’t really want her to do anything and to just let things play out.This is certainly worth a read and provides a memorable finish to a great series. Part of me wants the story to keep going, but part of me wants it to rest peacefully in that little cabin in the woods where it can find happiness. Either way, I trust Loretta to preserve or grow Winter’s story in beautiful ways.

Good story with lots of surprises!
I went back in forth on how many stars to give Clarity 3... don't get me wrong I loved the story. I was drawn in and kept entertained the how time, I was hoping Winter would get past all her crap and allow herself to have a happy ending. Now I can honestly say this was the first time I jumped up while reading a book and started pacing my living room. My husband looked at me with raised eyebrows as I yelled about what I was reading.SPOILER****As a SURVIVOR of a sex crime there is no way in this universe I would ever allow myself to embrace my attacker!!! This part of the book made me nauseated and I literally would get up and pace the floor, start reading again and then pace some more. When she kissed that disgusting excuse of a man I almost threw the book across the room (being it was my kindle kind of glad I didn't)! I know there are some people that are incredible and can find it in their hearts to forgive people like this but forgiving them and doing that is not the same. I faced my attacker in a court room and was 15 feet from him and that was too close. He is currently right where he belongs, serving a life sentence in jail!That one moment in the book made me want to give it less stars because my past bleeds into how I feel about the situation. It is a great book and story just wish the author would have left that out! Instead it would have been great if Winter learned more Judu and kicked his a**!!

Helen/Winter has NO self-worth. Not for YA
I really, really wanted to like this book/series. It seemed like it was going to be about a strong, intelligent woman who happened to have a visual impairment. But I can't like it. For several reasons, I just hate it. Forget the part about her lover lieing to her. I guess that can be just a plot twist. But then she goes back to him and forgives him for lieing! What a lack of self-esteem. And then, she forgives her rapist! OMG. She has no value for herself. Not only that she KISSED him?! Is this straight out of a man's rape fantasy? It's grotesque and it angers me that this is written for Young Adults. At least, it reads simply enough to be. I hope that no young woman ever reads this and thinks it is OK to allow herself to be treated this way by men.

what a shame to a great trilogy. Don't get me wrong the book ends ...
Oh...what a shame to a great trilogy. Don't get me wrong the book ends well and I was left satisfied with the ended. What was disappointing is that this book was advertised as a longer length book than the previous instalment and no cliff hangers. Maybe I am just an optimist but I was thought great...double the fun and action. But the pages just seemed to go on and on and I felt myself skimming pages just to get to a part where something happened. It felt at times that the Loretta Lost was just trying to fill the pages, rather than just sticking to the fast paced action packed instalments she had already delivered in the previous two books. I was left wanting more. In this instalment I was left wanting less.There is a great twist to the tale...the good guys turns bad and the bad guy turns good....what can is say about family.

Three parts was very annoying
I usually choose a book based on the reviews. I skimmed these reviews, as so many of themgave a precise of the whole book and then there would be no point in reading the book.I didn't realise it was in three parts, until I got to the abrupt ending in the first book, which I downloaded for free.As the author is a brilliant writer and the story was so good, although I did guess the identity of the rapist early on, I bought the other two books.This third book, although still good, was long and drawn out.I will not be buying any more books from this author, until there is one complete book to read.

An Amazing Three Part Series...
It always takes me such a long while to find a new book to read yet all 3 of these books were purchased and read within 4 days because they were SO good.I'd heard good reviews already and the brief description of the first book had me intrigued.The storyline was unique, liberating and full of emotion. There were so many twists and turns that you were left guessing right until the very end. You think you have it all sussed out when another curveball is thrown into play.It's not often that I write reviews but the Author deserves it! All three books kept me thoroughly entertained.I've read a lot of the New Adult genre, but what I loved most about these books is that it wasn't all just sex, sex, sex. Yes, it has it's steamy moments but some books I've read don't half become tedious. These books aren't like that at all.

What a great story, the exposure of her relationship with Liam was a shock and the hanging of Carson was also a shock, I loved the romance was captivated by the characters and the happy ever after ending I hope is going to happen will just be great.
