Yesss, finally we find out what is happening with Ellis. After Evie's and Evan's stories, I kept wondering why Ellis was being framed for murder. And now I know! After Ellis his partner and best friend was shot before his own eyes, he decided to run to avoid ending up in jail. Because he is setup, so it looks like he killed his partner.
To avenge himself and to clear his name, he decides to kidnap the daughter of a mafia boss.
But soon he finds out that maybe Arianna is not what she seems. And also Arianna starts to understand that Ellis is no coldblooded murderer, who will hurt her. Together, they try to find out who is behind all this and why. But when Arianna has to chose between her family and her - very gorgeous and did I mention hot - kidnapper, things twist and turn. Suspense, humour and drama. All wrapped up in this final book of the series. And yay! Also Evie and Evan make their appearances, so it is also a trip down memory lane. Love it! Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

ARC received for review

Great conclusion to this trilogy. Loved Ellis and Arianna's relationship. They were a slow burn, and neither one of them worked to hard to avoid it. It was great to Ellis finally clear his name and reunite with his family. Her family was nasty.

This is the third installment of the Endgame Trilogy. However, it can definitely be read as a stand-alone since the books have their own story arcs.

Ellis Bishop is a man on the run who is desperately trying to get his life back after being framed for a crime. He doesn't know who to trust and decides to take a drastic measure. Bad intel leads him to kidnap a woman named Arianna who he thinks is connected to the conspiracy when in reality she was being used herself. They end up working together to clear Ellis's name.

There is definitely some insta-love stuff happening and man does he fall hard. For being such a badass, he is a puppy when it comes to Arianna. I appreciate the lack of super alpha maleness because he is definitely a character that could act it. Arianna is brave without being reckless and owns her faults. Their attraction is hot but the love is tender. Another good one for Katie Reus!

I was provided an early copy via NetGalley for review.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Finally, the last book in this trilogy!! I have been waiting for Ellis's story after hearing about him in the previous books, and was not disappointed.

When you first encounter Ellis, you feel like Arianna that he is pretty dangerous and threatening but as time goes on, you see he is a pretty good guy.

Poor Arianna has to prove to Ellis that she is a elementary school teacher and not a kingpin's daughter living it up with ill gotten gains. After they realize that she really was not involved, they work together.

There is non-stop action as they try to figure out how to prove that Ellis did not murder his partner and that there are some dirty DEA agents working with Vitaly.

There were times that I was not sure if Ellis and Arianna would get their HEA with all the danger that they faced and kept trying to dodge bullets! Great wrap up to the series as the last Bishop ties the knot!

Endgame for Ellis Bishop❤️

I really enjoyed this final story in the Endgame trilogy but initially didn’t feel as though I connected as well with Ellis because he didn’t appear as often in the first two books. After reading for a bit, I finally felt that connection with him and Arianna from the word go❣️

A really good story about Bishop who is set up for murder and now he’s on the run trying to clear his name, but because of information he receives he involves Arianna. Though it might be a mistake, it’s the best one he’s EVER made😍

I received an advanced copy via Netgalley and I want to thank them as well as the publisher and Katie for my copy and leave my honest review voluntarily😁

I so did not want this trilogy to end, but if it had to, Ms. Reus ended it in with an amazing story. Ellis Bishop, DEA Agent, has been on the run after being falsely accused of murder. He knows who did the killing and kidnaps the man’s stepdaughter as he is sure that she is involved in her stepfather’s crimes. He didn’t count on Arianna Stavish being exactly what she said she was, an innocent third grade teacher and beautiful. He is attracted to her from the very beginning, but when she shows courage and commitment to finding out about her stepfather’s crimes, he is captivated. She has lost much in her life after her mother and brothers’ death, but eventually is hopeful that she and Ellis can clear his name and find love. Three wonderful stories with strong, loving and engaging characters. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

This is the third and final book in the series. It's about the last of the siblings, Ellis, who was undercover. His cover got blown and he was framed for the murder of his best friend Carter. To clear his name he kidnaps Arianna, the daughter of the crime boss he was after.
She is really angry with him at first, but after he tells his story, she believes him and even helps him clear his name.
Of course this doesn't just go easy, there's a lot of twists and turns, action and of course romance.

While I liked this last book, my favorite is still the second book, the story of Evan and Isla. I really like the scarred hero trope, so...

But I can most certainly recommend this series. Hell, I would definitely recommend any book written by Mrs Reus.

I was given an ARC by Netgalley for an honest review. Thank you for the opportunity :)

Ellis is a DEA agent who was undercover in a drug and arms dealer organization. His best friend and partner is killed and he's framed for the murder. He has been on the run trying to clear his name. He kidnaps the man who killed his partner and plans to use her against her stepfather. Arianna is a third grade teacher, recovering alcoholic, and has been kidnapped. She doesn't understand what is going on because her and her stepfather are not very close. Ellis shows Arianna the evidence he has gathered and agrees to help him. Can they clear Ellis' name and keep the danger away from Arianna?
Excellent story. This is the last book of the series. A damaged woman trying to straighten her life out and a man trying to get his life back. Secrets, sex, and action.

Ellis's story was worth the wait! This trilogy was intense. This book is fast paced and gripping. Ellis and Arianna have an unconventional journey that keeps you reading straight through. I loved all the characters in this series as well as drop ins from the Red Stone Security characters. This one has mystery, action, humor, romance, betrayal, and the perfect dose of steamy. I hope to see these characters pop in in future books by this author. I love that Katie Reus never quite walks away from beloved characters and gives us glimpses from time to time.

This is the third and final book in the Endgame Trilogy and I thought that it was another fantastic book by Katie. She never fails to deliver and I thought that this book was superb.

It has a great plot, a good pace and really well developed characters. There was action and romance and I loved every page and it was the perfect end to the trilogy.

It is 5 stars from me for this one and I am already looking forward to reading her next book!

Wow! What an amazing ending to one of my favorite series. This is Ellis's book and I have to say I have been wanting his story since book one when met him for the first time. Arianna, was a strong heroine, just like all of Katie's heroines. These two together had some explosive encounters and there chemistry is off the charts! I am sad to see this series go, but I am happy with how it ends.

Ellis is a wooing man, “you have the best *** I’ve ever seen,” he said as she turned the showerhead on." I liked this book, I loved Ellis, even if he was rough around the edges.
