I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Finally the conclusion to this love story. It was everything that I expected and more. Tristan and Elle have been thru so much and still continue as strong. They were times where I thought drama was going to occur *cough* Elle admirers but then that would straighten out.

Tristan and Elle went thru a terrible loss and Tristan as always by her side and did everything in his power to help her get thru that difficult time. Elle as always supporting her man and strong as always. I loved that she never felt threatened about what would happen when Tristan went pro. I liked how she never had any doubts about his love for her like in other stories where the guy is going pro and all these groupies are around. I liked that this story didn't have any of that.

I won't spoil it but there was a part where someone from their past showed up and had me seeing red. I thought it was going to be stirring drama but fortunately it didn't. It was the complete opposite it was beautiful and sad all at once.

I loved how this ended even though I wished for more and I also enjoyed the secondary characters.

Can't wait for this one! The teasers look soooooo good!

Interception is a beautiful ending for such a deserving couple. Elle and Tristan have been through so much together and this is an ending that they truly deserved. These two stayed as sweet as ever, never leaving each other behind. While the other two books are about them falling in love and growing up, this final book is about them knowing what they want. All grown up, wanting a family and a career. Together and not apart is their way of life. As they go through more trials in their lives, they stayed strong and connected with each other. Of course through all these good and bad times, Elle and Tristan couldn’t get enough of each other. At every chance they got, their hands were on each other. They were hot and sexy together. I love and enjoyed these two throughout the whole series and it is bittersweet having to say goodbye to these two, they were truly the best. But I am glad that they go their beautiful ending.

Interception by Angela McPherson. This is the third book in The Distraction Series. Even tho this is my first book that I am reading in the series, I am giving it a 4 star rating. I should have read books 1 & 2 because I did feel a little lost at times. Not knowing all of the info on Tristan and his ex, the history between Paul and Alyssa and just the ins and outs of the characters. With that being said….. I loved the fierceness that Tristan loved Elle with. They went through their ups and downs and came out in the other side, together. I give Tristan credit for dealing so well with the whole Rixon situation also. I was really expecting things to go a totally different direction than they actually did. My heart broke for Tristan and Elle when they suffered the miscarriage. Like she hasn't been through enough. Between losing her sister and her their baby, she should be an emotional wreck. With Tristan goin pro, there was little to no insecurities on Elle’s part where most women, would have been extremely scared. Dealing with ex’s is also a very difficult situation but thankfully this was calm and drama free, if there is such a thing. Elle, as usual, handled everything with maturity, like we would have expected.


I enjoyed this book, I think I would have had a better understanding of all the characters if I had read the previous books but I did fall in love with Tristan and Elle!!

Tristan and Elle finally figured out that they belong together after being in other relationships. This is the final book in the series. They are in college and they are going to be graduating soon and starting their careers and moving on with the rest of their lives. The story about their relationship and all the issues that come up are very realistic. Tristan can be a very jealous person because he does not want to lose her again. Tristan's ex-fiancée drops a bombshell on him. She is dying and he has a son that he does not know about. Elle takes on raising his son like it was never a question that she wouldn't. He gets to play for the NFL, they get married, and they move to a new state. Their lives are so chaotic, but very believable.

This story is part of a series and it needs to be read in order. I had not read the first 2 books, so at first, I was a little lost.
However, the story was well written and the characters were well developed and relatable so that I was able to enjoy and follow the story.
That said, this was truly an angsty and emotional story about the power of love even after all the ups and downs that can threaten it. Ellie and Tristan have had quite the emotional journey as their romance had their fair share of twists and turns.
Well worth the read, and I will be reading the rest of the series soon!

Ex-girlfriend has a secret child, is terminally ill and clearly his present fiancée will graciously raise his ex-fiancée’s baby (insert sarcasm). Doesn’t everyone?

“After we lost the baby, the pain was so deep, and the idea of getting pregnant scared me." Her face brightened. "Conner may not be my biological child, but he's a part of you. I can't wait to love him."
"Spud–" The doorbell rang.
"I love you, too, Tristan," Elle declared, beating me to it. "Let's break the
news to our parents."

This before he’s ever met Conner, they’re planning a life with him. Unrealistic.

I read this book through Kindle Unlimited. This is the third and final book in the Distraction series. Elle and Tristian get their happily ever after but not without a few bumps along the way. This book sees them grow into adulthood with graduation, Tristian's draft into the NFL and an unexpected gift of a child after the loss of one. The book ends on their marriage and gives us a nice epilogue set 6 years in the future. Nice series that I highly recommend.

4 star review
Interception is the third book in the Distraction Series by Angela McPherson. I read this book as a standalone and because the author had done an amazing job of making sure that there was enough background information in it I was able to understand what had happened previously. I still would definitely like to have read the first two books beforehand so I will be reading them as soon as possible. I haven’t read anything by this author previously but I really enjoyed the story and it is always nice to discover a new author.
For me this was a very emotional story, I connected with the characters instantly and I was definitely rooting for a happy ending for them both. This book elicited a whole range of emotions from me and I will point out that there could be a few potential triggers for some readers.
In the final instalment of this series we see Elle and Tristan coming to the end of their 4 year college life and are more than ready to take the next step in their future together. Tristan gets drafted into the NFL and Elle lands her dream job at a small newspaper. Elle and Tristan suffer the terrible loss of a baby and Elle struggles to come to terms with the events that happened. Tristan is her rock even though he had to deal with watching the love of his life get rushed into surgery. The couple learn to work through their loss that is until someone from the past resurfaces with a secret that may shatter them for good.
I really did like Elle and Tristan, even without having read the first two books it was pretty obvious that they were it for each other. Best friends that become soul mates. They were truly the other half to each other. I loved how their relationship grew stronger over this story and they supported each other at times when they needed it the most and at a time where it would have been so easy to become distant.
I thought that the author did a wonderful job of writing about such sensitive issues and having experienced something similar to Elle I really felt that she wrote about them with such empathy and compassion that it was like reading a true story. Normally I would shy away with any story that involves miscarriage but I’m glad I continued on to read this – it was beautifully written.
I definitely recommend this story and I’m for sure going to be reading the first two books in the series now.

Interception by Angela McPherson is a five star novel. This is the third book in the Distraction series. Even though this is a stand alone, it only enhances the story to read the first two novels as well. This novel finishes off the story of Tristan and Elle just as they are finishing college. Tristan is looking forward to his new career in the NFL. While Elle is also preparing for Tristan's new career in the NFL and her own new career, he finds herself pregnant. They are both over the moon to be having a baby. That is until the unthinkable happens. When Elle miscarries the baby, her and Tristan find ways to talk about it and work through the sadness and other emotions that losing a baby causes. Many people do not realize the pain that can be caused by a miscarriage unless they have experienced it themselves. Angela McPherson has a way to be able to express this sadness and depression to make you feel like you are experiencing these same emotions. It is refreshing to read a book where the main characters can go through real life issues and be able to find themselves better for the experience and also have the reader feel what that experience might be like also. Even though this is an experience people do not want to have, it is nice to be able to feel that emotion so that hopefully, we as readers, will then be able to be more empathetic to others who might be experiencing this same loss. During this time Elle also rekindles a relationship from the past. Even though this kind of experience can be daunting for couples, they find a good way to navigate it.

Interception by Angela McPherson! Oh my what can I say about this book. It is book (well actually the whole series) where you will need tissues and about a week to recover. I almost (I said almost because I can’t) want to hate this book because of how many different emotions roll threw you as your reading this journey with our favorite couple. Tristan Daniels and Elle Richards have been through a lot in the past four years and it is finally time to leave college and well grow up. Tristan is ready to be drafted by the NFL, Elle is happy about her dream job at a newspaper, but like when most things seem to be going their way something is bound to try to destroy the love that Tristan and Elle have created. Will they be able to survive this and maybe just maybe finally get the happy ending that we have all being wishing they would get!
I am not going to give anything away because you just really need to read it for yourself and go through this journey with this amazing couple. I really enjoyed this book and the other two books prior to this one (Distraction, and Addiction) you could read them alone but I would say to read them in order. I will miss this couple even if I felt like I was an emotional wreck after reading this. I love that there is still humor, love, honesty and of course crying in this book I think that it really brings the characters to life, you feel like they are your best friends and your living this story as well. Amazing Job Angela McPherson, 4 stars!!

[Renee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Interception by Angela McPherson is wonderfully written and engaging. I am giving this story five stars. The story is set in the last year of college for Tristan and Elle. Everything that they have worked and stride for is close to fruition. However, life comes a knocking and things do not go as planned. At the author eloquently put it, love is defined in moments of weakness and they must hold on to each other for strength.

Angela captured my interest from the very beginning. The action and flow of the book holds your attention and makes you look forward to the next chapter. I will admit that I was concerned at the beginning that I would not be like the characters, because they were both insecure and fighting. I do not like books that contain characters that do not evolve and grow. I love strong characters that complement each other. Tristan and Elle are easy to love characters that withstand multitude of tragedies and triumphant. They worked through their problems together and grow as a couple. Each character is independently strong, but, together, they are unbreakable. I found myself cheering and crying with them. They are a great couple.

I have not read the other books in the series, but I could still follow the story. If you are new to this series, you will be able to read this story without feeling lost. However, I am sure that you will want to read the other two books in the series, because this story has made me want to learn more about this couple. For those who have read this series, you will not be disappointed!

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian I Dig Good Books.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and my comments here are my honest opinion. *

This story is a heart breaker! It is so much more but the events definitely crushed my heart a few times. It was so nice to be able to get a closure to the story that continued from books one and two. The finality wasn’t an easy one, nor was it all sugar and daisies. Their struggles continued and they continued to fight to be together.

One thing I enjoy about this author is the ability she has to evoke emotion from her readers. Sometimes it is happy, other times frustration, and a few times, it was anger. There is no way to be able to go through this book, let alone the series, feeling absolutely no emotion.

Another thing this author has been good about is her ability to provide great detail. It makes it easy to transition your mind into the story as you read. However, this is where my 4 stars comes from. The way that this story was written, and maybe edited, that great detail provided a big neon sign, per say, over some areas that weren’t written right. What I mean by that is a paragraph, or chapter, would start talking about certain things and either that part of the story would drop off completely, or the detail didn’t match up. Sometimes the events were the same, but at two different times, or the paragraph started out with a particular scene, but the next was a completely different time. It felt like there were parts removed during editing but then the story wasn’t re-read to be sure the story still flowed. This definitely distracted my reading and made it hard to concentrate at times.

Looking past the above stated issue, the book was great and the story was perfect. The characters were “real” and had “real” issues, arguments, and friendships. They were relatable and made the story incredible. I would suggest reading the series, it really is a great read.

Interception by Angela McPherson is the conclusion of the story of Elle and Tristan as well as Book 3 of the Distraction Series. This is a standalone story and as I didn’t read the first two novels I can honestly state that it wasn’t difficult to get up to speed, the author did a good job filling in the blanks.
Elle, a journalism major and Tristan, a football player have overcome a bevy of problems to get to where they are in this point of their young lives and there are still several bumps in the road for them to get through. Elle’s co-worker at the paper seems to have a crush on her which she is too naïve to realize, Tristan isn’t dealing with it very well, he gets very possessive in fear that Elle will leave him just like she had in the past.
Elle does finally wise up to the lothario at work and manages to ease Tristan’s mind. Then the couple gets pregnant. They are so happy about the baby and becoming a family unit that it crushes them when they lose the baby. Elle sinks into a deep depression and it’s left to Tristan to pull her out. The love this hero has for the heroine is amazing, he takes his time and gives her everything she needs to work through her grief and they just become stronger for it.
Unfortunately once you think things are going to get better something happens that you didn’t see coming. In the case of Elle and Tristan it’s their past coming back to haunt them. How they handle it and deal with the consequences shows how these two have grown through the novel.
While the story is about Elle and Tristan I really enjoyed some of the secondary characters also, especially Elle’s friend, Alyssa and her boyfriend Bret. They were quite the couple; I may have to go back to the beginning of the series to find out what happened to Alyssa and what led her to Bret. I also am curious about Paul!!
All in all, though I missed the first two books in the series I really enjoyed Interception and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Interception
By Angela McPherson


Four Stars!!


Angela McPherson does it again with another amazing book.


I’m not just saying that because I loved her Gypsy Love book but because this couple in Interception is amazing and one that you can fall in love with as well.


Warning do not read these books out of order because I made that mistake. Picking up this book not realizing it was part of a series. So in the beginning, I felt like I was missing something during the entire thing. But once I realized that I missed something I decided to pay attention to the small details when it came to this couple.


Tristan and Elle they are the kind of couple that not only fell in love but were friends, turned best friend and became a couple even though they knew each other like the back of their hand. Coming to the end of college when everything is changing they both are getting everything they want.


Everything that they worked so hard for. You see them even in their moments of weakness. Jealousy, love and of course just becoming young adults. You see their love grow and you can tell how much they love one another. Through every single obstacle they go through, no matter how hard it is, no matter how much they wanted to give up. They strive as a couple.


Love like Tristan and Elle’s last a lifetime and through the moments when people think they aren’t going to make it. I loved that about this. Even through everything they were still together, giving you hope. You route for them through it all.


I loved this book not only because you can tell the relationship with the couple but you see the secondary couples, their relationships as well.


Fall in love Elle and Tristan.

Interception by Angela McPherson
4 Stars
Interception is the third book in the Destruction series by Angela McPherson. It can be read as a standalone, but there were a few things I felt like I didn't understand, but it didn't take away from the story as a whole. Told in Dual POV between the two main characters Tristan and Elle.
Tristan and Elle are college students in their last year. Tristan is the star football player and Elle changed her major to journalism. The story was different than most sport player books as it didn't focus around the game but more on the relationship and the everyday life of this couple.
Tristan is seeking an agent as he will be getting drafted into the NFL at the end of the school year. He was a very supportive boyfriend but also still managed to be a college guy attending parties. When tragedy strikes Elle and in turn also him, he focuses more on the everyday routine and forgets to show Elle nothing changed his view about her. Add in a blast from the past with a surprise or two and it shows how mature this couple really is despite their young age.
Elle works for the paper and despite the long hours she loves it. She's got a great head on her shoulders and has no problem telling her feelings in times of need. When she gets a surprise guest at the door with some shocking news, she steps up instead of running away and made me like her even more. Through everything she stayed Tristan's happy place to turn to even when she called in reinforcements!
I really liked this book as it wasn't all about a game, or the major drama that can happen, yes there's some in a jealousy issue, but otherwise this was a sweet story with some heartache. I'll have to go back and read the first two to get the story leading up to this.

[Mandy Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

Interception by Angela McPherson. I give this book 5/5 stars. I really wish i could give this book like a hundred stars because it was just that good of a book. The theme of this book is two friends who have been in rough spots but make it through. This is the third book in the Distraction Series.
Elle is a college reporter for the sports section. She is in love with her best friend and she decides not to run anymore. Her life is drastically changed when she loses one thing just to gain another. The quote I chose for her is her making fun of him: “I don't know any other man who'd ask a woman to marry them twice.”
Tristan is a football player. He is happy where he's at and learns some things he never knew before. His life is good now and he couldn't be anymore happier. The quote I chose for him shows that he is nervous about the news he received: “Oh, God. What if it's twins?”
This is the second book I've read by McPherson. I really liked everything about the book. I felt so many emotions throughout the book. I was instantly in the book from the beginning. I highly recommend this if you like sport romances. I also recommend checking out the first two books in the series so you are not lost as in to what's going on in the beginning. Check out this amazing author, series and any books she has.

Interception (Distractions #3) by Angela McPherson Rated 4 stars


Tristan Daniels and Elle Richards have gone through a lot in their time of being together but feel they are ready to move forward. They are finishing up college. Elle is working at the college newspaper and Tristan is looking to play football for the NFL when done with college. When Elle turns up pregnant she is worried and not sure if she is ready for this. Tristan is outwardly excited but worried inside also. Once they see the little one during the sonogram they cease being worried and both are excited.
When the miscarriage happens Elle feels unworthy of Tristan. She works hard so she doesn't have to think of what happened. Tristan and family help her pull through. Finally everything is on the right track again. One afternoon there is a knock at the door, a person from their past, and Tristan and Elle's lives will never be the same again.
Even though this is the third book in this series I didn't need to read the previous books to understand what had happened in the past. This author filled in all the gaps so I could follow along. Elle and Tristan are a great couple with great chemistry. When Elle visited her doctor's office Tristan made me laugh. He acted just like I do when in a new office. Touching the all models around the office, then one will accidentally fall or come apart. Elle telling him to stop touching everything. Tristan was so loving and understanding after the miscarriage. I love how he took care of her and tried to get her back to herself. Oh..and make sure you read the epilogue it was one of my favorite parts of the book!

Interception is the third book and final book in the Distraction series by Angela McPherson. Interception continues right where the second book, Addiction finished, with the journey of Elle and Tristan as they continually are striving for their HEA. In the beginning of the story they struggle to find their footing again as a couple now that they are back together. As the story progresses they seem to hit the sweet spot in their relationship, Tristan has made it to the NFL and is finding success while Elle is enjoying her work. Both Elle and Tristan have overcome many obstacles to get to this point and just when you think it’s smooth sailing for them, more surprises come their way that will test their relationship like never before.

I liked the story, Elle and Tristan are definitely meant for each other. They are both very much in love and this is very evident throughout the story. The ending was a delightful conclusion to their story. And the Epilogue added a nice little touch.

While you do not have to read the first two books in the series (Distraction, Addiction) I strongly recommend that you do because there is so much of Elle and Tristan that you need to know in order appreciate what they have overcome to get to their happily ever after.

As I was reading the book, I saw a quote by a famous businessman that very much sums of the story of Elle and Tristan; “If something is important enough, even if the odds are against you, you should still do it”. Elle and Tristan overcome every challenge thrown their way because their relationship and each other is important enough.

Interception (The Distraction Series Book 3) by Angela McPherson is the third book in The Distraction Series. This story is excitement, sadness and compassion. This story will show you that sometimes relationships are work and worth fighting for.

Elle Richards is a woman who is just coming out of four years of college. Is she ready to take the next step with him? When she gets her dream job, how will he handle that? When she suffers a loss, will the pain undo her? Will she heal and move forward?

Tristan Daniels is just coming out of four years of college and is getting drafted in the NFL. He has become her rock, her security. When the past comes to the present, what will happen? Will they survive it together? Will this be what shatters them for good?

Elle and Tristan's story is one where their relationship is a learning experience. Will they learn to work through the pain and hurt? Love has no bounds and is defined by moments of weakness. Will they find their solace? Will they finally engross what is truly important? Will they have a future together? Life seems to through them interceptions but how they handle them will tell their story.

This is my second read by Angela McPherson. Angela lives in Texas with her husband and three active children. She works as a nurse during the day and writes at night. She loves coffee and chocolate. You will find often finding her laughing at herself as she is willing to try anything once. This story will pull you into their journey and take you page after page into their world. I highly suggest this story as I know you will love what happens as much as I have.

Interception is the third and final book in the Distraction Series, and it's amazing!! This is my first book by Angela McPherson, and it didn't disappoint, I went back and bought the first two books in the series as well!! The romance between Tristan and Elle is beautiful and will capture your heart. You will feel ALL the emotions that they do. I literally could not put this book down, I started and finished it in the same night. 5 stars!!

Tristan and Elle go through SO much and after reading their first two books, you almost can't imagine a couple surviving anything more, but they really do. Even though the book says it can be read as a standalone, I think it's best understood and loved if you have read the previous two books. Tristan and Elle have had a rocky past, Tristan struggles with his jealousy of other people wanting Elle. As someone from their past comes back, can Tristan handle it? Will Tristan's jealous push her away? Now that Elle is spending more time with another man while back at college, can he handle it? Enter in the tough subject, the miscarriage. They both are suffering and struggling, and I can't imagine their pain. But the author did an amazing job writing such a tough subject. Can Elle and Tristan survive this? Will they come together and be there for each other?

This book was absolutely amazing, I felt every single emotion that they did, and found myself laughing and crying with them. I would recommend this to everyone!! This series was out of this world!

[Lauren Ryan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Interception is book 3 in the Distraction Series by Angela McPherson. I recommend reading the whole series to get the most out of these books and really appreciate the ups and downs of this couple.
Elle is dealing with her major switch and working her butt off to get everything done in time for graduation, but she could not be happier with her switch. Of course it would be a smoother road without the problems between Rixon and Tristan.
Tristan is training and trying to keep his relationship on the right track. With the combine and draft coming everything seems to be hitting at once. He has to focus and be prepared for getting into the professional league.
When the future seems just within reach and everything seems to be coming together is when life likes to test us the most and for this couple it is no different. The challenges they face are going to be what either tears them apart or makes them stronger, can they hang on when the game is on the line?
I was pulled into the drama and suspense keeping me on the edge of my seat with this story. The dynamic of this couple and supporting characters was great and I really hope to get more story of the other characters in the series. The way the author channels the characters makes you feel involved in their story as if it was your own. With so many twist and turns you will definitely have trouble putting this down once you start. Not to mention make sure you have tissues handy at points. I would tell anyone I know to grab this book and dig in, because you will not regret a single second of it!

5 Stars *****

Interception is book three of the Distraction series by Angela McPherson and what a great way to end the series about Tristan and Elle. This is book is not a stand-alone and must be read in order or you will not understand the history of these two.
Tristan and Elle have been through it all together, or so they thought
Both of them are in their final years of college and ready to move together into the next phase of their lives, and after growing up together they think this should be an easy transition.
Tristan is going to be drafted into the NFl and he couldn’t be more excited. He is still dealing with significant amounts of jealousy and concern that Elle will be taken away from him, I mean really it has already come close to happening a few times.
Elle is so close to becoming the journalist that she has always dreamed of being and she is learning so much from this guy at her school who has taken her under his wing. The problem is that it is causing major problems between her and Tristan.
When an unplanned pregnancy, people from their past and overwhelming sense of loss all happen at one time, how will they ever be able to get past this hurdle when they are still trying to come to terms with the last set?
I loved this series, it was such and emotional rollercoaster but ended perfectly. You can tell that this author really did wonders to make the characters strong enough together to be able to survive this train wreck they call life . I definitely recommend this book to anyone that loves to read books full of emotions.

Interception: Book Three of the Distraction series by Angela McPherson is the final book of the Distraction series. What a great end to an amazing series! I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. I recommend reading the first two books to understand the history of Tristan and Elle. Such an emotional journey the author takes you on with this fierce love story.
They've been through four years of college together, and are looking forward to starting the next chapter of their adult lives together. Tristen gets drafted to the NFL, and Elle lands her dream job at a small newspaper. Tristan continues to deal with his insecurities that Elle will leave him, so it doesn't help that she starts working closely with another man. Elle is too naive to see her co-worker's bad intentions, and it leaves Tristan seething with jealousy.
Then an unplanned pregnancy happens, and they are both over the moon! Finally, they will start a family like they've both envisioned. But the happiness quickly turns to despair when Elle has a miscarriage. She is left in a sea of depression with only Tristan to pull her out. He's always been her source of strength, but will they make it through this tremendous loss?
I truly loved this series! The author has such an ease to her writing, the emotions feel so real-the reader feels every heart wrenching moment as if it's their own. There were also very swoon-worthy moments as well. Can't wait to read more from this author!

Interception is the third book in the Distraction series, and is best read after reading the previous books. I had not read the previous books first, and while it felt like I was missing some background on their Tristan and Elle's relationship and what happened to Alyssa, it wasn't enough to take away from my overall enjoyment of the story.

I admired Elle. She went through a lot, from having a miscarriage, to dealing with Tristan's ex and the secrets she revealed to both of them, yet she did it with a great amount of class. There were so many different ways she could have handled with situation with Kellie (the ex), yet she embraced the situation and showed how big a heart she truly had.

Tristan also embraced the situation, and took care to make sure Elle was really alright with everything. He showed over and over again how much she meant to him.

I felt bad for Paul, considering the reunion he desperately wanted with Alyssa wasn't going to happen. I hope he gets his own book with the chance to find the happiness and love he wants.

Despite not having read the previous two books, I really enjoyed this one and would recommend it, especially to those who have read the previous books. It was a nice conclusion to the series.

I was not ready for everything that this book turned out to be! I loved Elle and Tristan from the beginning and their struggles resonated. They were young and in love and nothing was going to get in their way. I loved the dual perspectives. Elle was shy and spunky at the same time which I love. She had a lot going on that needed to be dealt with but showed so much strength when others might have given up. Tristan’s point of view was such a whirlwind of emotions. His main focus was Elle and making her happy, but he also had internal doubts and struggles that needed to be dealt with.


I loved the book and had trouble putting it down. I kept waiting for everything to finally settled down and go right. I could not keep up with all the twists and turns that Elle and Tristan had to deal with. I loved the support that they had and how in between all the drama Elle and Tristan they still did every day things like go golfing or get dinner or lunch with family and friends. It added a realness to the book for me. I hope that anyone that has followed the series thus far continues to see how it all ends, you will not be disappointed.

Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy of Interception for my honest review.

As stated above, I received an ARC of Interception, so I went back and read both Distraction and Addiction by Angela McPherson to get the full story of Tristan and Elle. At times, I found their story to be frustrating, but overall it kept my attention and I found myself wanting to find out what would happen between the two of them. I am so glad they were able to find their way back to each other, through all the misunderstandings and the "Distractions" that happened over the years. They were amazing together - so supportive, loving and sweet with one another. Elle's love for Tristan seemed to be tested quite a bit, but she never faltered. She was always there to support Tristan - no questions. I was a bit disappointed/frustrated with the end storyline, felt it was just ANOTHER bump in the road and it didn't really pull at my heartstrings. However, it did prove what an amazing and strong person Elle was. I really loved the epilogue. Such a sweet ending to a really rough start.

It made me sad to see these two coming to an end. Although, the way she ended it, spectacular. You have to read this entire trilogy, so don’t come in on this one. Go back and read the others. Tristan and Elle have a story for the ages. They go through everything together, some things have made them weak, but some made them stronger. They both remind me of a throwback, when no matter what, once you made the commitment, you stuck it out. There was no running, no calling it quits because it got too hard. If it is broke, you fix it. I can’t count how many times in this series I have cried like a baby. Angela McPherson has this way of sucking you in from the first chapter and never letting you go. By the time you have finished Tristan and Elle’s story, you will feel like another person in their little group of friends they call family. She has an amazing storytelling ability with an amazing story to go with it. I can’t give this book high enough praise. It is a wonderful way to go towards wrapping up 2016.
