Synopsis

Maria De La Torre is a survivor. Her life has not been paved with streets of gold…but with blood and sacrifice. She may have been there for her soul sister in the Trinity Trilogy but this story is about her life. The life she chooses. The same life someone from her past is trying to take away.

Elijah is the last man in the entire world Maria should be with. He’s a dark, gritty, lawless bounty hunter—the exact opposite of the man she loved and lost, the man who gave up everything for her. Only Elijah is not the type of guy to back down. He’s used to getting what he wants and he’s set his sights on the raven-haired seductress.

Time is not on Maria and Elijah’s side. There’s a new threat to the soul sister, one Maria never thought she’d have to face again. And this time, the stakes are life and death.

Maria quickly learns that the things she wants most in this lifetime may just be the things that have the power to destroy her. 

Ratings and reviews

This is book four in the Trinity Trilogy or it can be read as a standalone book. I recommend that you read Body, Mind & Soul before you read Life. Life follows Maria De La Torre and Elijah 'Red' Redding. I've been gifted a Kindle copy of this book and leaving a review is voluntary. The lovely Maria De La Torre is a survivor. Maria's life hasn't really been paved with streets of gold, they have been paved with lots of but with lots of blood and sacrifice. Maria may have always been there for her soul sister Gillian in the Trinity Trilogy. This is a story is about Maria's life. The life that Maria chooses. However this is the same life that someone who keeps haunting from her past is trying to take it away. Apart of Maria's life she's tried so hard to lock away so deeply and try to be happier in the new life she's been making. Meet Elijah Redding. Elijah is Tommy's identical twin brother. Not that Tommy ever mentioned her had a brother let alone an identical brother. Elijah is the last man in the entire world that Maria believes that she should be with. Elijah's a sexy, smoking hot, dark, gritty, a true lawless bounty hunter. Elijah's the exact opposite of what she thought was the man she loved and lost. That man was Tommy who gave up everything for Maria that included his life. Tommy was killed in the line of duty. Unluckily for Maria, she finds out that Elijah is not the type of guy to back down from anything. Elijah is always used to getting what he wants. Now Elijah has his sights on the raven-haired seductress. Now the time is not on Maria and Elijah's side. They discover that there's a new threat to the fiery soul sister. It's one that Maria never thought she would never have to face again. Unfortunately this time, the stakes are definitely a matter of life and death. Maria now suddenly and quickly learns that the things Maria so desperately wants most in this lifetime; they may just be the sort of things that have all the power to destroy her." This book is not one for the faint of heart as it's a really touching and gripping book. It had me in tears at places and laughing at Maria in others. Her spirit is such an inspiration. This book and the other Trinity series books bring to light how even through all the bad things that there is also the chance of a happy ending. Audrey Carlan knows how to bring it. A fantastic continuation to a great series. If i could give Audrey Carlan more than 5* i would

Life is the 4th installment in the Trinity Series by Audrey Carlan, and wow what a way to continue this series. I fell in love with the soul sisters way back in book one, Body, and was super excited when Life came out. It's the story of Maria De La Torre. The Latin/Italian beauty with the fierce attitude, stunning face & body, and heart of gold. Maria is survivor, a survivor who barely escaped her delusional, abusive boyfriend years ago, the attack on her and her soul sisters by Gillian's stalker/kidnapper and the death of her boyfriend Tommy. Others would have crumbled and fall, but Maria is strong and determined. With the help of her soul sisters, she has the strength to move on. That is until Elijah Redding (Tommy's identical twin brother) comes crashing into her life. Challenging her emotionally, mentally and physically. The moment Elijah first sees Maria he feels a spark, a connection that he can't deny. Deep down he knows they are meant to be together and he will do everything in his power to make it happen. When Maris's worst nightmare from her past comes barreling back into her life, her soul sisters, friends and Elijah are there to protect her. But will they be enough for the lunatic who has come back to finish the job? Life.....it's the perfect title for this book. It takes us through the life of Maria and all those that she surrounds herself with. We witness the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly and the acceptance of letting go of the guilt, the past, and allowing love completely in. I was captivated by the strength, courage, fierceness, devotion and love that these beautiful soul sisters embodied in Body, Mind & Soul...but even more in Life. Audrey Carlan you are a brilliant author who keeps amazing me with each story you bring to life. Thank you for giving us more of the Trinity series. I can't wait for Fate. BESOS!

It was amazing. Maria's story was everything I hoped for!!! Audrey you have an amazing talent!!!!
