A Dom is Forever, Book 3 in the Masters and Mercenaries series by Lexi Blake

Last night I stayed up late to finish reading A Dom is Forever, Book 3 in the Masters and Mercenaries series by Lexi Blake.
This book is about Avery and Liam. Liam O'Donnell is a former SAS and IRA rom Ireland who became a part of Ian Taggerty's team at McKay & Taggerty Security Firm about five years ago after a terrible mission went horribly wrong resulting in his brothers death.

Avery Charles is 28 yr old personal assistant to philanthropist millionaire, who up to three years ago was an agoraphobic who lived in NY. Our book has Avery in London working on getting a huge shipment of food sent to an African nation as a humanitarian aide.  Avery's life has been racked with horrible pain and terrible loss. She lost her parents when she was a child, then her aunt took all of her inheritance. Avery married at 18 and had a baby shortly after, only to lose both of them to a terrible car accident where she was driving. It took almost 8 years before Avery could regain the use of her legs. She has terrible scars and still has issues with her legs, but she's trying to live a life that moves past tragedy. She has big self esteem issues and that causes major issues between her and Liam.

This book is a continuation within the series, while I think it could easily be read alone it does help to have prior knowledge on some of the main players. this book definitely is fast paced and emotional with tons of twists and turn that will shock you. The character development is definitely spot on. However my biggest issue is this book was very similar as the last two books. You have an alpha man who is put into a position where he has to find out if the women is telling the truth or if they are apart of a terrible situation. Trying to determine if the women are involved or not, leads the men to lie to the women about who they really are. And each time the women find out, flip out, and then so easily forgive the men! That I just don't understand. A man lies to me, I'm not so sure I'd forgive them in less than 24 hrs.' no matter who tells me the truth. How can you really believe anything after such lies? I wish the women heroines were stronger and told the men to go f*ck themselves.

Also this is supposed to be a BDSM novel, and there are very little features to BDSM, it is more vanilla then the others novels in the series. While Liam and Avery seems very realistic characters and definitely draw you into the series, this one isn't my favorite.
