Carlos Santiago, Sheriff with the Mount Grove Police Department, has been at odds with himself, his brother, and the VDMC for nearly six months. The war between right and wrong, lawful and unlawful, rages in his head and heart. Carlos fears losing himself to anarchy.

Zoe Rutterson is on the run from the law—and a life in hiding is no life at all for her young son. Sheriff Carlos extended a hand of friendship to her and, despite her reservations, she finds herself drawn to the small-town officer. When her secrets are revealed, is she really ready to put her trust in the law for the sake of her and her son's freedom?

This is the conclusion of Zoe and Carlos’s story and what a way to go!!
More surprising twists and the way Carlos will do anything for Zoe is so swoon worthy! They get help from the MC once again and there were things that I definitely didn’t see coming! They do get the HEA they deserve but I will say that I found the ending a little rushed more my liking. I know it is supposed to be a shorter read, but I would have loved a little more at the end of the book. I still really enjoyed it overall and I think it is actually a good thing that I wanted more - it means I didn’t want this story to end and I was very invested in the characters! It is the mildest in terms of spice, but it is such a great plot, you don’t miss it at all!
I hope that more characters will be coming out with their own stories, not just the MC, maybe some fellow officers as well. Elise can weave a tale like no other!!

Happily Ever Carlos

What a ride this has been. Carlos finally gets to be who he was meant to be. Sheriff and the monster become one. While also being the perfect Dad and lover. I couldn’t have asked for more if him.

After the cliff hanger in Carlos part 2, I couldn’t wait to find out what happens next. Zoe is dealing with a nightmare scenario and Carlos is in full on alpha protector mode. He refers to it as the monster is loose, bent on discovering, apprehending and punishing the person who upended Zoe’s world. He does his best to stuff down his chaotic emotions, but they are barely restrained. This time he is not acting as a cop who uphold the law and remains impartial. Once again the men and women of the Via Daemonia MC rally and offer their support along with another unexpected ally.

This book has a few intriguing twists before concluding with a wonderful happily ever after for Carlos, Zoe and little Kyle. I have come to love this trio, this little family. I have loved reading this extraordinary trilogy and would highly recommend it.

I could not WAIT to get Part 3 of Carlos and Zoe’s story because Elise left us with such a cliffhanger in Part 2. With Kyle missing and Zoe a mess, Carlos finds it harder and harder to control what he calls his “monster”. Which leads him to jump on a bike and follow Owen and a lead. All the twists and turns that occur will keep you on the edge of your seat. Until you get to the HEA for this family of three.

This was such a satisfying conclusion to this novella trilogy. I even got a little teary when Carlos and Kyle had their discussion about dads. Even though all three of the parts of Carlos and Zoe’s story are novellas, Elise has managed to pack so much action and emotions into each one!

Carlos and Zoe were panicking because Kyle was gone. Carlos and Owen took off on their bikes after a lead. They ended finding who they thought took him at a motel. Turns out he didn’t have Kyle but he did have someone else. They ended up saving the woman and took her back with them. They told her what was going on. She asked if she could help. So she went into the grocery store to see if she could find Kyle. She ended up finding him which was a huge relief for everyone. Kyle was hiding. He told Carlos that the lady told him to hide so that is what he did. This book had a few major events. This was a great conclusion to Carlos and Zoe’s story.

Carlos Part Three is the final installment to the Carlos Trilogy.

We get to see the fallout from the events of book two. Carlos has taken over as the protector of Zoe and her son Kyle. He will do everything he can to make sure both of them are safe and protected at all costs. You could really feel the intensity in which he loved these two.

Zoe is having a hard time dealing with the events of book two and is barely coping. It was good to see she had a great support system to help her through these difficult times.

By the end of this book we get to see a lot of our questions answered and the events get wrapped up so everyone can breath easier. This was a great series!

This is the conclusion of Carlos and Zoe's story and it's quite a conclusion! Carlos is fed up with being the one to uphold the law and he's unleashing a whole new kind of hades on the those responsible for messing with Zoe. Needless to say VDMC is front and center to do whatever is needed. Twists, turns and surprises wrap up this intriguing story nicely and gives this couple the HEA they deserve.

a very good read

I enjoyed this book. The characters pulled me into their lives and the plot was very entertaining. Book three wrapped up the story beautifully. There were some tense moments but counter balanced with very good times. Highly recommend the VDMC books and this trilogy wrapped Carlos up beautifully. HEA, no cheating, no cliffhanger.

Amazing Conclusion!



I’m so happy for Carlos and Zoe but this book just makes me want to read more of them, of the other club members and what’s up with Owen and Jumper??? I need more. This trilogy was heart breaking, heart warming, has amazing characters and some laughs. It was perfect!

[Sarah DeLong · Rating 5 out of 5]

An epic conclusion to Carlos' story, this honorary member of the VDMC owns a piece of my heart. His morals that get a little blurred from the line of right and wrong, his determination and grit to be the best sheriff and protect his family and his town.

what a wonderful ending

I love everything about this trilogy. Carlos and Zoe deserve the happiness in this series. Lots of things up in the air and figuring out how to live a free life as a family.

Hide & Seek

3rd and final book about Carlos & Zoe, with plenty of drama, angst, nerve-racking moments, love, sexy time, family and more bread crumbs left for future books can't wait to see what happens next

[Rita Whinfield · Rating 5 out of 5]

Peace at last

Zoe has had a dreadful time and can’t stop blaming herself. Carlos is being his normal loving self and to a point blames himself. A HEA is deserved for both of them. I’m intrigued where Owen is going.

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Carlos and Zoe search for Kyle everywhere they can’t understand we’re his gone
Owen shows up and Carlos and him take off to find him cos they think a hitman has him to only find out he didn’t fast paced book lovely ending to Zoe and Carlos story
Would recommend

This is the third and final part of Carlos and Zoe's story. This book for a third book still had me loving this couple and their journey as they continue to navigate life

[Heather Arbuckle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Carlos and Zoey are an amazing couple and part 3 continues to show us how they continue to grow and fall in love as well as how the future plays out!

[Library.of.linds · Rating 5 out of 5]

I looooooove Carlos!! He is so good to Zoe and her son. He cares for them so much and is so understanding about what they’ve been through. And that cover is 🥵🥵

Oh and F.uuuuuuuuuck Pennny 😤

[Stacie Hegenauer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This trilogy was a great addition to the VDMC series! While Carlos isn’t part of the MC he plays a major role in every story! And Zoe finally gets her HEA and Carlos shows that he isn’t just the Sheriff…he will burn the world to the ground for the people he loves!

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this story concentrates on the love for a child and their happiness. Kyle is a cute 4 year old that learned hard lessons in life. Carlos is a great influence in Zoe and Kyle's life. They have a scare from an unlikely source. I hope the are stories for Owen and his connection to Jumper. HEA.
