Tribulation and Truths: Ana and Jackson Book 3 (Chastity Falls) Kindle Edition

Tribulation and Truths is the third book in the Chastity Falls series, so while the author does a fabulous job of integrating past events into the new book, it’s recommended that you go back to the beginning and read the two previous books before this one so that you enter this one knowing all the players and where they stand.At the end of Salvation and Secrets, Ana reveals a truth to Jackson that irrevocably changes him forever. That what he has spent his life believing about his father, and the way he died was a lie. Changing his relationships with people he believed to be family, as well as his relationship with Ana in the process.This book picks up right where that one left off—in the aftermath of that truth and what Jackson then chooses to do about it.What I love about this series is that just when you think things are finally about to even out, that maybe, just maybe this couple and them as individuals will be able to move on from everything that they’ve already had to face and beat, another bomb gets dropped, another piece put into play and BAM, we’re knee deep in the suspense again. One minute happy and swooning over how sweet and amazing Jackson and Ana are together, and the next, biting our nails wondering what their fate will be.It’s this style of writing that gave me one hell of a book hangover at the end of the last book and did the same thing again here. As I stated in the previous review, L.A. Cotton has ruined me. Lol. The level of feels I had in this, both bad and good ones was insane and even with the time in between finishing this and reviewing it, I still feel it. I feel these characters and their struggles. Its equal parts insane and awesome and I love it.Now, where would a story be without the characters? In this case, the three I’m touching on being the three that stood out the most to me in this.Jackson Pierce. Wow. I didn’t think I was ever going to reach a point where I was ready to give up on him, my love for him probably just as powerful as Ana’s, but in this book, with some of the things he did, I gotta say, I wanted to turn around and hit him with the book. Or rather the kindle that I was reading said book on. LOL.The problem when I’m reading (well not really a problem per say) is that I look at the character motivations as they’re doing things I don’t like, which in the end makes me sympathize and understand the things they do when all I really want is to hate them and beat them with books.Jackson, I understood what he was doing. Why he felt he had to pull away in order to achieve a better ending for him and Ana. It all made sense to me even though I wouldn’t have taken the same steps he did, or treated the people around him the way he did. By the time it was done, I didn’t want to hit him anymore, but God. I did for a while. This is one book boyfriend that frustrated the hell out of me. (Love you Jackson!)Ana. My ballsy heroine. The one that despite knowing that dealing with Marcus was basically dealing with the devil, knowing full well what he was capable of, still stood tall and stood by her man, even when he was pushing her away in an effort to keep her safe. This was the Ana that’s been present through all three books, but that was only shown in small little intervals as she gained her strength back from what brought her to Chastity Falls to begin with, and recovering from what she went through with Jackson in the first and second books. It was so awesome to see. She was overcoming her issues, with the help of her friends and the love of Jackson and becoming stronger for it. It’s not often I connect with the heroines in books, I tend to lean toward the men, but in this series, in this book with Ana I did. She was what kept me grounded when I wanted to beat her other half.Last but not least. Marcus. I’ve got a thing for twisted characters and especially like it when they’re written in a way where you just love to hate them. This guy, the games he was playing with people much higher up on the food chain, the twisted way he dealt with his family along with what he orchestrated with Jackson’s dad, was the epitome of sadistic jackass. He was the perfect dark counter to the light that was Jackson and Ana (along with their friends). Witnessing him get what was coming to him drove me with this book even more than Ana and Jackson did. And by books end, I was quite content with the way it all played out. *claps*For what the author was tackling with this series, combining multiple genres, the pacing was amazing. There were moments in this where it did slow down a bit, but not enough for me to say that it dragged at any point. Point A got to Point B nicely, everything wrapping up rather well by books end and like the others I’ve got to say, with the way the book flowed, it was over a lot faster than I was expecting. Not because it was short, or not enough detail was given, but because it was just executed phenomenally.This is one book where each title holds true to what takes place in the book, so just like this one says, there will be tribulations for everyone in Chastity Falls, and also a whole boatload of truths. I felt that title all the way through, so kudos to the author on that. Another neat execution.All of the answers that I was after through each of the books was wrapped up and answered here and while I won’t go into specifics, there was a happy ending too and one that I was more than a little ready for. Even with the little nugget I found once their story was finished.I’m probably gonna be in a minority when I say this but…Bring on Braiden. I am so ready! <3If you’re a fan of suspense driven books, ones that keep you on the edge of your seat, but that also contain solid characters and just the right amount of romance—true love—then this book is for you. The series really. It was all of this and so much more. Sometimes, I even felt like I wasn’t reading a book but thrown right into a television show, with the way these books read. It was worth every moment spent.My thanks to the author and all those involved for letting me read an ARC of this before official release.

This is the 3rd book in the series and yes you will most definitely need to read the first 2 books prior to reading this one and this review may contain spoilers to the earlier books. Now that Ana shared her suspicions to Jackson about how she believed Marcus, whom raised Jackson since he was 9 years old, killed Jackson’s father, he is determined to find the truth and make Marcus pay. Jackson has become consumed with his need for revenge and is losing himself to that vengeance. He is willing to risk everything and hurt those he loves, as well as go against everything he believes in to discover the truth of what happened. Once he learns this truth, will it set them free from the mob or will it ruin his last chance at happiness with his one true love Ana?I have been patiently waiting for this book to be released since finishing book 2 as I had to know what was going to become of Ana and Jackson. I was not able to put this book down. I was drawn in right from the start. There were many twists that I didn’t expect. I found myself saying “Wow! Didn’t see that coming!” I love when that happens. I was disappointed and can’t give it the 5 star rating like the first two book because I don’t feel like Ana and Jackson’s story was finished along with what I seemed like were unanswered events. The ending seemed as if it was rushed, with too much happening rather quickly and not being very clear on how it was all going down. I can’t go more into that without spoilers for this book so that is all I can say about it. The author also is focused on setting us up for the next couple books that will be based on the supporting characters. The best way I can describe it is to compare it to that movie you have been waiting for months to see and when you finally do, you are glad you saw it but there was just something missing.I still strongly recommend this series and this book and am looking forward to reading other books from this author. I do hope we will hear more about Ana and Jackson.

When Ana revealed her suspicions to Jackson about the circumstances surrounding his father’s death, she never expected it to be the catalyst for a series of events that could change everything. It was supposed to save him, not push him away. But now Ana is left watching the person she loves more than anything, lose himself to vengeance.Jackson has spent most of his life loyal to the man he calls Uncle. But since learning that Marcus Donohue might have been responsible for the death of his father, Jackson is consumed with the need for revenge. Even if it means hurting the people he loves, and going against everything he believes in, to uncover what happened.Will the truth finally set Jackson free or will it ruin his last chance at happiness with Ana… and a life out from under the shadows of the Donohues?Tribulations will be overcome, truths will be revealed. Welcome to Chastity Falls.

I finally got my hands on this one, I've been dying for this book. And the wait was so worth it. I've enjoyed this series immensely. All the suspense, the angst, romance, and drama kept me on the edge of my seat. L.A. Cotton definitely knows how to keep us coming back for more.Ana and Jackson's have been a roller coaster from the beginning of the series, but in Tribulation and Truths, this ride is taken to another level. I felt bad for the both of them. In one hand, I got Jackson wanting to get his revenge. But in the other hand, I got how terrifying the whole thing was for Ana. I love how they kept fighting through the obstacle to be together. And to say their relationship was put to the test, is the understatement of the year.Do you think their love will survive? Do you think they'll be strong enough to maintain their relationship even when the odds are against them? I guess you're going to have to read to find out. Be sure to 1-Click this one!!

Copy gifted by the author in exchange for an honest review.What can I say? The book is simply AMAZING. The whole series is. Every single book makes you fall in love with L.A. writing more and more. I think I'm just simply hooked on her writing style. The story she created just pulls you in and doesn't want to let go. I always like to spread the books for few days, to savor it, but not with Chastity Falls books. I just have to know NOW. I was so angry I had to go to bed and stop reading. But lets concentrate on the story...This part picks up where the previous book left us. Jackson *swoon* has joined Marcus in his shady business and took over Braiden's position at the campus, but also started receiving more and more tasks, that were never entrusted to Braiden. He started to be included in the meeting with other bosses. And he found it is a "way in" to bring Marcus down. To get his revenge. To avenge his father. Where he was happy about being IN, Ana started being worried about him. He saw how he gets pulled in even further, deeper than what they agreed. What they expected.Where Ana is sitting at home, worrying, Jax is uncovering more and more disturbing secrets. And what he learns changes everything. He starts thinking that all the secrets and the reality is bigger than what he can handle.I will not say anymore to avoid spoilers, but let me tell you that: Lianne is just a freaking genius. The world she created makes you have a heart attack every chapter. Either you are being angry at Jackson, angry at Ana, at both of them for being stupid and resolving all their problems with amazing sex, instead of talking. Or you just want to strangle some of their friends when they see only incentives with Jax's new position. But you will love Elena even more.... she is such a damn good friend... she is so supportive for Ana. Always being there for her. Just simply awesome.But we have another character that will make you fall in love with him. Dennis *swoon*. Damn, he is hot and so supportive for Jackson. Being there for him, where Ana can't and making sure he will not drown in the filth of Marcus' world. After this book I have a new BBF.... <3It was an amazing end of Ana's and Jax's story. Full of drama, heartache, steamy sex and Jax ;)5 stars!! <3

I have to admit that I had only recently discovered LA Cotton and the Chastity Falls series, but it's one of my favourite series this year. Tribulations and Truths is the third part in this series and it's just as good if not better than the two before. So Tribulations and Truths picks up straight after Salvation and Secrets, Jackson has learnt the truth behind the death of his father he is reeling but detriment to make that person pay for the senseless murder of his father but first he has to agree to do the one thing he really doesn't want to - take up Braiden's role in the family business. Jackson's thirst of revenge starts to affect his relationship with Ana once again other forces are still fighting for them to be apart. With truths finally being revealed will Ana and Jackson really make forever ?With each book I fall in love with these characters a little bit more and it's not just Jackson and Ana that I love it's Dennis loyalty and lack of words, Elena outrageousness and Cassie secret new man was a shocker too.Once again this book was the right blend of angst, sexiness, suspense and one great ending. Lianne writes the best endings ever, they are not cliff hangers but leave you begging for more. The last three words made my heart stop.I'm really sad to be leaving Chastity Falls !

I loved this third installment to the Chastity Falls series (I would say final, but it's not - exciting!), so much so that at around 80% I didn't want to read any more because I didn't want it to end! But read it I did as I was still dying to know how it ended, if Jax & Ana got their HEA.------------------------------Even in amongst the crazy, there would always be us. I had to hold onto that. I had to.------------------------------As previously, the passion between Jax & Ana is palpable and when they were apart I was just itching for them to be together as they were both hurting so much.------------------------------He was reaching out and clinging on for dear life. And I could be his buoy. I wouldn't let him drown.------------------------------------------------------------"Make me feel, Ana. I need you to make me feel."------------------------------Also some other unexpected relationship surprises took place.There was definitely a lot of tribulations in this book that made me curse and gasp out loud (making hubby jump!).------------------------------Home was with the person you loved. The person you loved more than life. It was the guy sitting in front of me with a defeated look on his face. A guy who had already made his decision.------------------------------I'm so glad the truth finally came out for everyone and that certain people got their comeuppance. LA did manage to keep me guessing with a few things too.A definite 5 star read from LA and I just cannot wait for part 4!

Please read books 1&2 first in the Chastity Falls Series before reading Tribulation and Truths (#3) .Just like every time I read one of Lianne's books I get sucked in from the start and nothing around me in the real world seems to exist or, I should say , gets a look in ! Yes even my kids . Sorry kids but mum needed more Jackson !!Book #3 is the final part in Jackson amend Ana's story and I'm sure like every other woman on this planet that has read this is just as upset as I am knowing there will be no more Jackson and Ana . But what is great though is soon we get to hear Braiden's story which I know is going to be an awesome read . Braiden's story really needs telling .This story is just as intense as books 1 & 2 , if not more so . Still full of emotion and heartache .We see Jackson suffering the realisation of how his father actually died and not what he was told by Marcus all those years ago . Jackson needs to find evidence to help put Marcus away and give him closure in order to have the future he wants with Ana .This is a fantastic end to Jackson and Ana's story but not the end of the series altogether as Braiden is coming .Well Done Chica !
