About this ebook

From USA Today best selling author Kilby Blades, the next installment in the Gilded Love series...

Jasmine isn't supposed to be in Pahrump. She’s not supposed to be posing as an exotic dancer. And she’s sure as hell not supposed to be solo on an undercover job. She’d have paid any price to avoid the emergency call to her ex-fiancé, Avi. But she’s in so far over her head, it’s come to that.

The last place Avi saw Jasmine was at the altar six months ago, right before she walked out of his life. Well…almost. They still work on opposite ends of the same vigilante crime-fighting organization. She’s the last person he expects to hear from while half a world away on a pleasure trip to Sydney. Can he get to Nevada in time to save her from a human trafficking bust gone wrong?

"This was such an intense, page turning, well written book. I stayed up way past my bed time to finish this book."

- Madeleine, Goodreads

I was so engrossed in this story that I ended up reading this book in one sitting!"

- Pat, Goodreads

A suspenseful, dark romantic story.

- Peggy Lanford, Amazon

"Blades manages to ease feminism and equality into her novels, which is always a delight to see in a genre written and read by women."

Ratings and reviews

4 star Review Vertical (Gilded Love #3) by Kilby Blades AUDIO REVIEW: This may have been a short listen but Kilby Blades certainly packed a lot into it. Although the third book in the series, our hero and and heroine are not from the first two books. This is Avi and Jasmine’s story and one I quickly became invested in. The narration by Jacob Morgan and Nicole Small was good. Their voices were easy to listen to and they brought the characters to life for me. Avi and Jasmine have history and the last time he saw her was when she left him at the altar six months ago. Now after an undercover operation has gone wrong, she turns to Avi the one man she trusts to help her. The question is will he be able to arrive and save her in time? Jasmine is such a feisty and sassy heroine that you cannot help but admire her. There was plenty of suspense and intrigue which made for a good listen.

This is a second chance romance with action and adventure. Standalone with no Cliffhangers. Jasmine is a solo girl, she tried a relationship but she wasn't good enough for him, she's damaged goods. She will just stay alone, to bad she still works with her ex. She had gotten herself into trouble and needs Avi, but will he come? Avi loved Jasmine more than anything, but she walked away from their wedding. Now she needs his help, will he make it in time? This book involves trafficking girls, just a heads up if that's a trigger. I listened to this on Audio.
