Very rarely do I have a series that stays with me, I don't have to read the previous book in order to know what is happening when I read the next. The Run Series is a fantastic read, and it will have you wanting more after you finish each book.

There is one particular line that I love and is imprinted on my brain and that is "Your scars, my scars, our scars...'
This one line is really a signature line for the whole series.

We continue on from book 2, after that cliffhanger that had be swearing and crying out for more. Questions are answered, more truths are told, and really you will be shocked, emotional at these truths.

Sebastian is a complicated man and we find out more as to why he is the way he is, you will want to hold and hug him, punch him and so much more. There will be a flurry of emotions that will be evoked from the scenes in this book. We find out why Sebastian exhibits all control in his life and this is due to his past and experiences as a child. Some scenes will be upsetting, some scenes will have you wanting to lash out.

Dani we find has turned into more of a stronger woman, this is due to the events in the previous book. We see her allowed to take control in the bedroom, and it is surprising and also good to see this allowed by Sebastian.
Their love is a love that is unbreakable I think, and they both compliment each other in ways that are even unknown to themselves.

Dani I feel takes on a role that she feels she need to be alot stronger to support Sebastian. This is a couple that is destined to be together, no matter what is thrown at them.

We also see Kyle in this book and he still hasn't given up, his love for Dani is as strong as Dani's love for Sebastian. Kyle and dani I feel had a relationship that was comfortable and good. But I don't think Dani feels the pull, sparks and excitement with Kyle as she does with Sebastian.

Alana is still up to her old tricks and in this book she is even worse, it has come to a point where we understand now why she is the way she is. But there is no excuse to why she does what she does in this book. It is no secret that this is one character that I would like to punch in the face lol.

This is a read that is full, of passion, some seriously sexy hot scenes, and some emotional revelations that will have you on the edge of your seat.

A book that is so well written, the characters are so real you could imagine them in real life. Kandice has a way of writing that will pull you into every book and never letting you go, leaving you wanting more.

There is a cliffhanger that will have you screaming, angry, emotional and ready to throw your kindle. I will be one of those people that will be begging, stalking, shouting for book 4.
I will not be patiently waiting for the next book as I need it now!

A fantastic 5 star read that will have you wanting more, a series that is a definite must read.

Your scars, my scars, our scars...'

Arc received in exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely freaking amazing, that is what this series is. I couldn't be luckier having the opportunity to read and review for this new author before the story goes live. Just when I think the Run series can't get any better Kandice blows me away again.

So in the back of my mind while reading Run With You I was trying to find a sentence/ statement that would explain the relationship that Danielle and Sebastian share, and 62% I found it.
"I mean so far in our relationship it's been one bombshell after another. Is this the last one or should I build a bunker now".
This was so delicately spoken by Danielle and really was the perfect statement.

Right from the very 1st story it was clear, the on again off again turbulent relationship of Sebastian Black and Danielle Stevens was and is Destined to be difficult at its best, but these characters bring new meaning to "all in". With both characters having horrible pasts that is destined to destroy and rewrite their futures.

Now with the death of her evil step father, the murder of her best friends boyfriend Jon, Dani struggles with day to day life. Her best friend, Geoff has buried his boyfriend and partner because of her, but their relationship, strained as it is will always overcome any hurdle. They feed off each other, but with Dani's relationship with Sebastian moving at warp speed, he feels left behind.... Missing that link he must overcome his past and move forward.

Danielle moves ahead with her job, making huge progress but with Sebastian's company taking in so many parties etc. The strain that comes along with her work mate brings everything to a huge halt, knowing there is more to that story, I am anxiously awaiting that to come to a head.

But it is Sebastian and his secrets, his dealings behind Danielle's back and his business calls that have Dani at her wits end. Always missing, always having to take mystery calls, mystery meetings. She cannot get him to understand that those secrets will be their demise, but he uses his sexual expertise to sidetrack her at every turn, and her body is always so quick to defy her brain.

Once again, we are graced with the evil bitch, scrag Alana (and doesn't she have a bombshell to drop), Sebastian's evil grandparents, his gorgeous parents and sweet sister's, Dani's dad and her sweet as candy grandparents. But it is Sebastian's birth mother who plays a big role in this story. So much more of his story comes to light, about what he dealt with as a child of a crack whore mother that allowed men to abuse her baby. It is no wonder he is as messed up and dominant as a grown man. But for him, it is his Danielle that calms and cures him.... But not everything can be fixed with a Danielle....

Hhhmmmm are you curious now? You should be, go ahead one-click this series right now. I'm very much hanging for the final book in this series that I hope will give all the answers, to the mass of questions it continues to throw at its readers.

*Spoiler Free*
Run with you is easily 5 stars. I feel like this book and series belongs on the bestseller lists. Kandice Michelle Young is one talented author; she has a way with words that will really make you feel like you are one of the characters in her book, where the characters emotions and experiences become your own. My emotions were all over the place while I was reading this and to me that is the sign of a talented author. There were times when I felt gutted, angry, heartbroken, hopeful and determined. Young is a gifted writer who keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for more. I am not usually a fan of cliffhangers because the anticipation kills me but with this series I don’t mind because I know that whatever Kandice has in store for us next is going to be amazing. What I appreciate the most about this book compared to others is the depth and backstory her characters offer. Kandice gives us great insight into who her characters really are, why they do and have done some of the things they have. This book was engaging to say the least, I find that other books tend to fall flat but Young is able to successfully weave a tale not only of romance but of suspense too, which really grabs the readers attention. I recommend this book to anyone who's not afraid to get invested in the characters lives and doesn't mind waiting for the next book to be released in the series. Words I’d use to describe this book are, intense, passionate, explosive, sexy and mind-blowing.

Run With You is the third book in the Run series written by Kandice Michelle Young. This book starts off with where the second book ends. After a life changing altercation with her stepfather, Danielle is dealing with the aftermath and doing all she can to pick up the pieces. Sebastian as always is trying to help Danielle deal with her issues in his own way which means leaving Danielle in the dark as always. What will happen when the past won't stay buried? What will happen when secrets are reviled?
This is the third book that I have read by this author, and I have to say I grow to love her more and more with each book of hers that I read. I was so wrapped up in what what happening with Sebastian and Danielle both in their personal relationship with each other, and their own personal story was so enjoyable to read about. I love that in this book you really feel like you got to know the characters on a personal level. And every time I thought I knew where this story was headed, I was thrown through another twist. And I CAN NOT believe the cliff hanger at the end!!!!!!! All I can say about it is HOLY CRAP! What a great read, and I would expect nothing less of such a talented author!

*****5 Stars*****

Have you ever read a book that you sit back and think, holy hell I did not expect that?
Kandice Michelle Young just delivered us an amazing third instalment to the Run Series that left us with a cliff hanger none of us saw coming and biting at our nails to see how it all plays out.

An amazing Series starting in book one and two, the third book brings us much more of the mysterious Sebastian who has shed some light on some secrets his been holding, but its like he still has a closet full of them that we are yet to uncover.

Danielle is still trying to over come what she has done, living with the past of her step father and all the storm of shit that has erupted since his return into her life.

These two are like fire works, they explode, sometimes into a gorgeous array of colours and sometimes into the loud bang that goes off. Sebastian and Danielle are two very strong minded people, both with daunting pasts that are set to test them at every turn.

Kandince has delivered us one amazing series to date, I personally cannot wait to see where the last instalment sends us, no doubt on a roller coaster of emotions before we get to screeching holt at the end.

* ARC given on behalf of obsessed by books for an honest review * *

OMG, OMG I highly recommend reading this series in order and just when you think you will get answers BAM!!!! You have more questions, but some truths are told. We get a visit from Kyle again and of course his to Dani's rescue but he can rescue me anytime. But I like that we see him and Sebastian have somewhat of a manly discussion, wanted my two alphas yum. We see a deeper side of Sebastian, to me he's like a onion he has many layers and we get a little deeper into those with Run With You.. We experience very sexual control Sebastian as well and we see Dani taki g control in thebedroom, very nice. We see Dani and Sebastian going up and down. They love each other so strongly that they hurt each other thinking it's for the others better good. I love this couple, thier passion it's explosive and addictive. The story flowed great, the characters are real and damn that ending I loved it. I'm so looking forward to bk. 4 . Recommended reading order Bk. 1 Run To You, Bk. 2 Run From You. This whole series is a 5 star read.

5 Crazy Ass Must Read Stars!!!!!

I hate him! I absolutely hate him! How could he do this? The secrets. The lies. It's all just too much. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to give this 5 stars. After stewing on it all weekend, I can't give it nothing but 5 stars. It elicits such feelings from me and I've never hated the male lead like I do Sebastian. I'm totally Team Kyle now. My heart is just broken and I wasn't expecting that bomb at all. He had me wrapped. I was so on his side. Ok, I've given enough away. I'm so sorry for the spoilers. I'm just so upset still and it's been three days since I've finished reading this. Yeah, it kinda ruined me for reading anything else this weekend too.

Ok, this series does keep getting better and better. I was wondering how Kandice was going to top the last book and boy did she ever. I can't wait to see how she outdoes her self with the Run All the Way. I need to know if Sebastin really can redeem himself. I'm a bloody mess from this book.

This series needs to be read in order. Important details will be lost out on if not.

This is the third devastatingly fantastic book in the RUN series by Kandice Michelle Young!

If you want a book series that pulls you and your emotions and feelings from top to bottom then this series is for you!!! I cried, laughed and absolutely screamed at the ending of this book!!!

What can I say? You've left me traumatised!!! I am still reeling from this flaming humdinger of a cliffhanger you've left us with! What more can you want!!! I definitely cannot wait for the finale!!!

Contrary to belief I am still standing strong in Sebastians Camp, despite everything!!! But I need to find out what makes Alana tick and why she is the way she is!!! I can't wait to see how Dani reacts to everything!!!

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

Dani and Sebastian are back and still struggling to cope with everything that has happened between them and their loved ones. Both their love and trust have been tested and things still feel like they’re out of control. Dani is dealing with her own fallout from her actions. Sebastian is learning to let Dani in and share his secrets but has his moments and once again goes back to his old ways.

I was excited to finally get my hands on this book! The author did not disappoint. You get to see Sebastian in a new way and knowing a little more about Mr. Black, you can’t help but fall a little more in love with him. There are many sexy time scenes and they are HOT!! Also there is a good chance for getting major feels when reading this book. I give this 5 stars!

Although Dani and Sebastian are perfect for each other, and have amazing chemistry, it's Sebastian's secrets that always keep her doubting their future. Dani's friend Kyle is still in love with her, just as Alana "claims" to still be in love with Sebastian. Some questions from the previous book get answered, but of course there are new questions that need to be answered, soon I hope. I was given this ARC to review for my blog, and I will definitely recommend this to all my followers. Keep writing Kandice, and I will keep reading your books.

I received this for my honest review. WOW, this series just keeps getting better and that's what is unbelievable it truly drags you in. The on off relationship Danielle and Sebastian have through out their damaged, broken childhood keeps coming back and the secrets just may destroy each of them, but they can't survive without the other. Once again you are pulled into their world by the fantastic writing that takes you there, you will be with mixed emotions through this part but will need to read this to go on to the final instalment, I can't wait........

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Danielle and Sebastian have amazing chemistry together but secrets always putting them a step back from each other. Will Sebastian let her fully in the darkest part of his life or let her walk away. Can't wait to read the final book of Danielle and Sebastian story.

Holy roller coaster. They love each other, they’re fighting. They love each other, they’re fighting. There’s so many downs and twists and turns. Honestly the proposal was the best part. I love Sebastian but Dani is just always screwing everything up. Clearly she already knows that there is an insane amount of trauma he is dealing with and she knows how that is so why is she always pushing so hard for him to open up. He is slowly doing just that and yes she should push but sometimes she just overreacts to a lot of things. Granted. She has every right to feel the way she does bout Alana. Can’t stand that girl and the ending?! Whyyyyy did it have to be like that. Dani is just going to run away and run back to Kyle. AGAIN… Sebastian deserves a chance to explain but she’s about to ruin the little trust he has left in her when it comes to her and Kyle. I feel like I’m reading a telenovela.

I gave it 3 stars due to the cliffhanger ending, loved the series but there is no 4th book and that ending is so cruel to the readers. I can't find anything about when the 4th book will come out and it looks like book 3 was released in 2015. How can the author leave readers hanging for that long! I want to know how Dani and Sebastian's story concludes, as I am sure other people that have read this series do too. Please give us some update about when or if she is actually going to finish this series.

Otherwise my advice to potential readers, is Don't! it is a really good series with no conclusion but a bonbshell!

Next book???????

Brilliant read, but to leave it on a cliff hanger and not tell readers when we can finish the story is disappointing, when will the next part of this crazy, heart breaking story be available??
I would like to be able to see the whole thing at the beginning of my read choice, thought it was a trilogy.....this puts me off reading because we loose the essence of the plot due to waiting to read the next part.
I have other books to read but would love to be able to finish the story while it's still fresh in my mind....💖💔

Run With You is the third book in the Run series written by Kandice Michelle Young. This book starts off with where the second book ends. We open with Danielle and Sebastian on a plane dealing with the killing of her stepfather, Walt, by her hand. Her world is in upheaval once again. Anguish about taking a life, even if he deserved it. For the destruction of her best friend's life when Geoffrey's boyfriend, Jon is killed by Walt. With her worry about Sebastian and his interactions with the bitch, his ex, Alana. Most importantly, with Sebastian himself. She sees that for every truth and half truth he reveals to her, hidden are more and more huge secrets.


As the story moves along, secrets of his past are revealed to the reader but only a few are revealed to Danielle. His mother, a blood sister, Det. West, a shrink....so much more that threaten their happiness. This isn't including the issues coming from Danielle's side of the equation....she need to see her ex, Kyle. Her job and shady people within, her trust issues, her hatred of Alana, his ex.

Maybe it is my and my current mood but I have lost the love I had for Dani and Sebastian in the earlier books. He has no qualities other than looks and money. He lies, he hides secrets all while forcing her to tell hers. She is weak and forgets her thoughts and needs with a kiss or kinky sex. The epitome of a weak woman.

That said the story has so many webs of secrets and turmoil that it is still a good read but for me when I can't love or like the hero and heroine it takes it down a few notches.

DNF!

I didn't finish book one, I got to a point where I was wondering if I was reading 50SOG or the Crossfire Series. I felt that the similarities were too obvious to ignore. So I DNF this whole series.
