Lock and Key #3
Their Destiny
This woman is my obsession, and my world is falling apart without her in it.
I thought I was going to shatter her into a million pieces and then build her into everything that I wanted and needed and desired in a submissive. And I did.
But somewhere along the way, she shattered me as well… and she’s the only one who has the power to put me back together. But that’s an impossible task when she isn’t here.
Her freedom has been earned, her debt paid in full. She’s out of my bed and out of my life. But what she doesn’t know is that she’ll never be out of my heart.
She is my life.
She is my love.
She is my everything.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2! Their Destiny, book 3 of 3. Tristan’s devious plan to collect a debt is compromised by vanilla sex & feelings!
“The Dom inside me hates hearing any kind of order or command and wants to flip the script.”
Books in Lock & Key trilogy should be read in order:
Book 1: Her Debt
Book 2: His Deal
Book 3: Their Destiny
In Lock & Key, book 1-2 casino owner and heir Tristan Broussard aka Master confronted the woman who had scammed his
casino. Gambler and con artist Emma Lia Grant, Em aka Mon bebelle almost felt guilty for cheating Tristan, until he high-handily demanded she repay him by becoming his submissive. In the combative yet seductive tug-a-war that ensued Tristan, the sadist and Dom quickly realized he had not factored in he was up against a born gambler. Nor was he prepared for that mind-blowing vanilla sex might cloud his better judgment.
Their Destiny, book 3 is the conclusion to Tristan and Em’s journey of a debt repaid in submission. A deal was struck, truths uncovered, mistakes made while rules were bent and compromised…
Told from dual POVs, it offers the perfect mixture of smut, romance, seduction, lust, scheming, revenge, deception, mistakes, secrets and jealousy. It was my absolute pleasure to watch the scheming borderline anti-hero Tristan in his fall into whipped.
Scorching sex scenes! Hilarious bantering! Panty-melting dirty talking Tristan!
“Pain and pleasure. Give and take. Heaven and hell. It’s our own little world where only we exist.”

Okaaay I'm getting badder and badder in reviews, maybe it's the heath that's getting to me.
I enjoyed it but at times I found Emma Lia a bit of a nag.. I know I know she is in a difficult situation but it works out for her. Tristan is showing another side of him, but also still the same 'I do everything to get what I want" so a bit of an ass! But it's actually fun!
I enjoyed it but I'm also glad to see the "series" come to an end.

What an ending to a great trilogy! I picked up book 1 for free (thanks bookbub!) And immediately searched out the rest of the series. These are shorter- more a healthy novella length than novel- but that does not subtract AT ALL. Book 1-mostly sex. 2- about 50/50 sex/story. 3 was mostly story but oh so satisfying. Rose excels at both dirty scene and emotional scenes. There is just enough detail in each to make it enjoyable for the reader. Rose has firmly secured a place in memorable authors list.

Most part of this one felt like a long epilogue. A lot of unnecessary details about the heroes happy ending. It was sweet and boring.
I did like the end though. It was unusual to read about a delivery from the guy’s point of view.

Hell No! NOPE! NOOOOOO!
I wouldn't ever in life... I can't even fathom how he thought that it was going to be ok for him to do that. Ok so by now we all know that Tristan is a freaking control freak and I understood that about him but what he did in this book was beyond fucking control. I just don't get how Emma lia could be ok with this even if she loved him unconditionally. I just don't get it.
You all remember that IUD that he placed inside her WITHOUT her permission when he kidnapped, drugged and had her violated. Yeah well he was having a bad day and instead of going off the rails in his usual way he went off in a completely different way. He tied her up, reached into her kitty and pulled... THE... IUD... OUT! Without her permission again or even her knowledge! Then a month later when he decides that he loves her enough he tell her.
Who does that!
I was pissed from that moment on!
The ending was super cute though and I am happy that they did get it together in the end. Good emotion evoking read!

We are getting the ending to our love story. Their Destiny is the final book in the Lock and Key series. Over the past two books, we have watched Emma Lia & Tristan grow and become closer. The last book stopped in an interesting spot. Who knew what was to come in this book.
I really enjoyed the way Rebel brought Emma and Tristan together, even when they were apart. Tristan becomes a better man, and dominate with Emma in this book. Emma grows into a wonderful sub, and woman with Tristan. I loved it. This is a wonderful series to read.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy for my honest review.

Their Destiny is the final book in the Lock & Key series by Rebel Rose; I didn’t want this book to end, it was so good. This was the perfect ending for Tristan and Emma Lia. I don’t want to give too much away about this book; you just really need to read this series.
Tristan might be a control freak and do things without thinking but his heart was always in the right place. They both need to remember communication is key in ANY relationship. So glad when Tristan and Emma FINALLY put Claudia in her place, I really didn’t like her.
Overall, I loved this series and Rebel as a fan for life in me. Can’t wait for her next book – PLEASE let it be Easton and Avery!!!
**Highly Recommend this series to all romance lovers!!**

This is the third and final book in the series. Emma Lia and Tristan finally see and admit that they are meant for each other. She no longer wants to go home, she realizes her home is with him and he couldn't be happier. Too bad everyone doesn't think they should be together. I have enjoyed this series so much. I couldn't read it quick enough, that's how addicting it was to me. I hope you will try these books I really think you will love them like I do.

I have loved and enjoyed every minute of The Lock and Key Series. Tristan started out as a very dark selfish borderline evil man in the first book and it was hard to like him. Reading his transformation was very fulfilling. I feel like I fell in love with Tristan right along side Emma Lia. I highly recommend this book and the entire series. It was refreshing to read how love could transform a man and bring completeness to both characters. Great read. Well written, well developed and well worth your one click.

5-star review
This is the third book in the Lock and Key series from Rebel Rose. Book one was more about the main female character, then book two was his story, and book three is their story. It was a very well thought out series, and the characters are simply incredible. There are BDSM scenes and their relationship in this book changes, from women being held due to her debt, into a woman who wants to stay with this man and have a future with him. It basically is their HEA ending.
I loved this whole series and couldn't get enough. I devoured the books in less than a day and was sad when it ended because the world and characters Rebel has created kept me entertained and wanting so much more. Beautifully written story.

I am in love
I am in love with this series and these characters. The setting is perfect for Tristan and Emma Lia. I wish for the author to write about Avery and Easton and that vanilla/BDSM relationship.

Their Destiny is exactly what the title implies. We are treated to a new avenue in the romance of Tristian and Emma Lia. Feelings surge forward, promises and hearts are broken only to be mended. Trust is lost and regained and the deep rooted feelings of worship, love and happily ever after play out upon the pages of the book.
Having read the entire series I thought I would share a few additional thoughts .....
While being advertised as a "dark" BDSM book the story was not, for me at least dark. The circumstances under which their relationship is formed is different, but not dark. The punishments that I believe lead to the promoting of dark in my opinion are more erotic than anything else. While I never did relate with the characters on any level, I will admit it was Tristian who had me coming back for more. He is deliciously tempting and his thoughts, while not presented in full detail are deviant to the point of desirable. I found this series to be more of a love story with a slight twist. It was a fun, very fast paced read. I am not a fan or instant love but let it slip by in this story as I found the story as a whole was entertaining.
Would I take a chance on this author again? Absolutely. The series while predictable at times did hold intrigue, mystery, hot as hell sex and romance.

This was truly an epic ending to Tristan and Emma Lia's love story.
The author did such an amazing job with this series, I think this year I haven't really read a series, this might be my first set and I have to say it's been a really, really good one.
I fell in love with Tristan and Emma Lia since the first book. You just couldn't deny their attraction from the beginning to end. They truly were meant for each other.
Emma Lia might have trust issues with Tristan after what he did to her in the 2nd installment, but as she leaves him, she starts to think and wonder if her life would be better with or without him. She knows she loves him and she knows he loves her unconditionally. This man would kill for her, that's how much he loves her. The question is, can Emma Lia forgive him and move forward?
When Emma Lia was faced with a dangerous encounter, Tristan was there in an instant to protect her. This was a reflection for Emma Lia to decide that Tristan was well worth it and she should give her Dom another chance.
This book...no, make that, this series was fantastic. This author did an amazing job for being a new author.
I look forward to reading more of Ms. Rose.

Their Destiny is the third and final book in the Lock and Key series, so indulge me for a minute. YOU MUST READ Her Debt (Book 1) & His Deal (Book 2) first, as this has been the journey of Emma Lia & Tristan over 3 books. His Deal had become my favorite, until Their Destiny, as the conclusion really showed the evolvement of Tristan completely, and I can say now that I LOVE him completely now! It was a slow journey for me to come to that conclusion, as Tristan was a complex man, who made questionable douchey decisions. However, the thing that hasn't changed was my love for Emma Lia, who was a fantastic heroine, who deserved everything the world had to offer. The other thing that hadn't changed was their chemistry which was explosive, and the fiery flames burned up everything in its path as they lit the sheets/etc up! There were some more twists (some sweet & not so sweet) that I didn't see coming that I couldn't get enough of, and some that I still had to drop f-bombs for. I really have become a huge fan of Rebel Rose, with her super talented writing style throughout this series, and I'm excited to see what she puts out next! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

I enjoyed this book and the series. It was not as dark as I thought it was going to be. Tristan started off as a jerk, but then changed, which made me happy. I don't like it approve of some of the things he did and I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about dom/sub relationships. I could never do it, but it is fun to read about.
There is one thing I don't understand. I. The middle of this book, suddenly Emma Lia's name changed. In the chapter headings, it went from Emma Lia Grant to Emma Lia James. Not sure if it is an editing mistake. Hopefully the author will see this, not sure how to let her know.

This was the final book in the Lock and Key series and I did not want it to end! Book 1 was a 4 star read for me, Book 2 a 5 star read, and if i could i would give this book 6 stars. I loved that the book tied everything up for Tristian and Emma Lia. I loved that even though Emma Lia loved Tristian there were still moments of doubt that she had to overcome, for me, it made their relationship more realistic.
Even though Tristian is super alpha, I loved the tender moments the tristian provided to Emma Lia. 5 stars for a great conclusion to this series!

I loved this journey of Tristan and Emma Lia’s and I’m sorry to see it ending. Tristan and Emma Lia have become my escape and I have waited so long to see how their story would end. Tristan has become a better person for Emma Lia well a more flexible one. Emma Lia shows an inner strength when faced with Tristan’s outrageous decisions. Will they get their happily ever after?

This is the third and concluding novel in Tristan and Emma Lia’s story. I love how these two have grown together, and embraced the BDSM lifestyle. This story is about love, loyalty, trust, and passion. All which had me hooked and intrigued throughout. This author has done a phenomenal job in writing this series, and I hope it continues. I highly recommend this authors’ work for all readers, and cannot wait to read more form her.

Wicked, Wow and What?!
This author knows how to play it right. From book 1 to right now. This book has way to turn my inside out. In a moment I am scared of our hero and then in a moment I am in love with him. However, I am very happy at the ending. I really enjoy reading from this author and I look forward for the next book from this author. Awesome, fantastic and wow is all of I have for this author.

Completing the journey of Emma Lia and Tristan from His Deal, Their Destiny is just a page Turner. You get to see their relationship take a turn and grow into something more. It's fully of unexpected scenarios that just keep you wanting more, but having the story complete makes you see the full character development and how far they have come on this journey together.

Don't Wait..Get the series now!!!
This entire series ( books 1,2, & 3) will keep you wanting more. Tristan & Emma Lia story will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I am hoping that a chapter in the book is a hint that there will be another series with the couples best friends East on & Avery.

Good read.....
A great ending to this series.. I did enjoy reading this story, the characters are great and the storyline was good.
If I'm not wrong, these three books were put out within a week of each other or there about.. Which was great but on the other side maybe it could have been just one book, a standalone. I say this because as a reader, sometimes that works for me.

Great book
Fantastic story, loved the ending, sorry to see the end of their story. I hope the author continues on with Easton and Avery. This story had it all, a little bdsm, romance, and a great story. This was a cover to cover non-stop read for me, I read the whole series in less than a day. I can't wait to read more from this author.

I absolutely loved this series, I think I finished it within 2 & half days, I literally couldn't put these books down. So damn hot. The main characters are everything, Tristain and Emma Lia are written perfectly & developed so well throughout the series.
Please tell me Easton has his own books on the way. And please tell me I won't have to wait long.

I loved this story!
I said this had the makings to be a really good story & it has!! Just enough dark & twisted with some light mixed in from an alpha who has no idea how to love. It’s been a great read I hope the author sees fit to give Easton & Avery their own story.
