The Club #4
The Culmination
Jonas and Sarah thought they'd reached the highest peak. But they were wrong.
Jonas and Sarah's white-hot passion and unwavering love reach brand new heights in this epic continuation of their scorching hot, hilarious, and enduring love story. As Jonas always says, "Our love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the gods. We're the envyof the gods, baby--the culmination of human possibility." But danger lurks. Tragedy strikes. And Jonas' sanity will be tested. Will Jonas finally be able to outrun his lifelong demons to be able to give Sarah his whole heart? Or will he drown in the ocean that is the demons of his past?
THE CULMINATION is a full-length epilogue novel to be read after The Club Trilogy. This epilogue installment continues the story of Jonas and Sarah (and Josh, Kat and Henn from the Josh and Kat Trilogy) and contains a complete story without a cliffhanger.
Readers should start the adventure with book 1 of The Club Trilogy or (The Club) book 1 of The Josh and Kat Trilogy (Infatuation).

What a great conclusion! I loved getting more of Sarah and Jonas without the whole Club drama going on. I also loved seeing Josh and Kat… though I kind of wish I would have read this after their trilogy. Still, after reading all the Morgan books I’ve come to the conclusion I’ve read all these out of order but it really doesn’t matter. I love all these characters so much and I’m excited to read Josh and Kat’s story this month. Jonas and Sarah have a special kind of love and I couldn’t’ get enough.

The Culmination is the next enthralling masterpiece from the hugely talented Lauren Rowe.
By using a quote from the book I will now attempt to sum up my emotions "Holy what the f**k is happening to me, Batman".
While reading this book I've bawled like a baby, cackled like a hyena, nursed a breaking heart, rejoiced with overwhelming happiness and burnt up hotter than a house on fire! Jonas and Sarah are "hawt" as they whisk you on board their f**ktastic adventure!
I can't and won't depict too much from the story line as I really don't want to give anything away but this BY FAR is Lauren's best book! Her humerous nature spills into her writing and makes certain parts of this story a freaking scream! There are also some well written devastating parts that will grip hold of your heart and squeeze like a motherf***er.
I'm in love with this book and never ever want Jonas & Sarah to end! Their love story is one of the greatest ever told because he's Jonas F**king Faraday and she's Sarah Effing Cruz!!!!!!

"Für die wirklich wertvollen Dinge im Leben muss man immer kämpfen."
Tja, mir wäre wirklich wichtig, die Zeit wiederzubekommen, die ich diesem Buch gewidmet habe. Ein 🌟 ist noch zu viel! Vorsicht: ich werde spoilern. Aufklappen und Weiterlesen auf eigene Gefahr!
Es fängt ja schon damit an, dass Gracie offenbar dazu erzogen wird, die Erwachsenen abzuknutschen, wann immer die das möchten. Das ist nicht gut für Kinder. Die sollen von Anfang an lernen, dass sie selbst bestimmen, wen sie küssen und auch wann und überhaupt. Auch, dass die Erwachsenen einfach keinen Filter haben, wenn es um die Gesprächsthemen geht, wenn das Kind dabei ist, bringt mich zum Würgen. Wenn Gloria dabei ist, dann muss aufgepasst werden, dann darf nicht über Sex oder so gesprochen werden, aber die Zweijährige ist dabei? Kein Problem. Ganz zu schweigen von der Szene im Restaurant, in der Jonas Sarah unter dem Tisch fingert WÄHREND DAS KIND DIREKT NEBEN IHR SITZT?! Was zur Hölle?! Jonas geht zwar noch auf, dass das richtig kacke ist, aber er macht lustig weiter, weil es macht ihm ja so an. Spätestens hier brauchte ich einen Kotzeimer.
Und ich möchte gar nicht erst anfangen, vom Kinderzimmer der Zwillinge zu sprechen. Wer mit den Bildern an der Wand aufwächst, bekommt die Komplexe direkt frei Haus, bestellen Sie einfach im Katalog "Wie verkorkse ich meine Kinder möglichst schnell!". Würde gerne Mäuschen spielen, wenn die Kinder größer sind: "Bei uns an der Wand hängt ein Bild vom Papa als König mit Allergie gegen Oberbekleidung!"
Jaaa und dann die Szene, wo der infektiöse Ausfluss nach der Geburt auf einmal egal ist und er das überall verteilt und... WAS ZUR HÖLLE?! (Ja, ich wiederhole mich, aber das ist alles so unfuckingfassbar für mich.) Und seine Besessenheit damit, dass sie ejakulieren soll, obwohl es ihr egal ist und sie nicht will, weil ihr die Vorstellung nicht behagt. Und er erzwingt die Situation, sie bittet ihn aufzuhören, weil es unangenehm ist und sie es nicht will. Und er?! Macht es gleich nochmal, weil war ja geil. Was sie dabei fühlt, war dann egal. Ja, Jonas, du bist ein Arsch.
Und Sarah... Ist zum Teil auch ganz schlimm. Das Tattoo auf ihrem Hintern? Waaaaaaaas zur Hölle?! Wie strunzendumm kann man sein?! Sorry, aber das geht echt gar nicht.
Und das bringt mich direkt zu einem weiteren Punkt aus der Kategorie "WIE BITTE?!": Seine Reaktion auf den Abend in Thailand. Dass er eifersüchtig af ist und den Höhlenmenschen nicht im Griff hat oder auch nur haben will, wissen wir ja schon. Leichtes Augenrollen. Aber seine Reaktion darauf, dass sie Drogen nimmt, ist nicht etwa "Baby, das ist schlecht für dich, ich mach mir Sorgen, bitte nie wieder!", sondern "du hast mir die Möglichkeit genommen, dich nur mittels meiner Sexzellence zum Orgasmus zu bringen, du hast mir damit etwas ganz Wichtiges genommen!". Platon würde sich im Grabe umdrehen.
Und wo wir bei Thailand sind: Erst werden Anspielungen auf Reisen gemacht, die in der Zeit zwischen diesem und dem letzten Buch gemacht wurden. Als Leser sitzt man mit einem großen Fragezeichen da. Keinerlei Aufklärung. Und als das egal ist, weil gerade doch etwas passiert, was spannend ist, da gibt es Rückblende an Rückblende, die alles haarklein erzählen und einen komplett rausreißen, was die eigentliche Story angeht.

Okay, so I have now finished it. I received an ARC from Lauren Rowe herself. WOW. Completely blew me away. I was blind sided by so many different things! This is my favorite book so far and I have said that EVERY time! It has a "real" feel to it. I love the fact that it brings on real life scenarios. When I started reading The Club series, I never in a million years would have predicted it taking control of my entire life! This is/will be my favorite series ever. I hope to one day see this on a big screen! Thank you again for the ARC Lauren Rowe, it made my year. It was so good! Also, we like the same music. You continue to amaze me with your awesomeness. If you want a book to grab you and pull you in, this is it.

OH SWEET BABY JESUS!!! 5 Amazingly EPIC Stars given because a gazillion wasn't a choice!!!
First of all, let me say thank you to the incredibly talented author Lauren Rowe for giving the ARC of The Culmination for my honest review. This pretty much sums up me receiving the news that I'd be one of the first ones to read book 4 ....
Seriously the most EPIC Love Story I've ever read. Each book got better and better(that's hard considering I absolutely LOVED each and every one individually). The character development, the story itself, the love, the everything ... no detail was left unfinished in book four. It's such a perfect story.
This book was so amazingly awesome. It's a can't put down until you finish kind of book for sure. I thought I could read slow a little each day but then I got so caught up in their story I just couldn't put it down. Me wanting to read it slow surely had nothing to do with it not being an amazing read ... it was all about wanting to stay in Jonas Faraday's world as long as I possibly could.
Book 4 was the BEST. My favorite in the series so far. Every single book doesn't disappointed! The love story will have you absolutely captivated. The love between Jonas and Sarah is so romantically beautiful, their story is at some times heartbreaking and amazing all at once. It's got everything one would want in a great book. Jonas Faraday is my drug that I have no desire to kick the habit. He's a needle to my vein. He's someone long after you've read this series of books you'll forever be thinking of him. He has a special place in my heart. Wow!! What a ride!! What an amazing ride this series truly it. This book is hella sexy too!!
Lauren Rowe ... You have become my favorite author. Your writing styles are like no other.
There's so much move to say about how incredible this book is. However, I'd leave you with too many spoilers. This is a MUST READ. Add now to your TBR list and schedule August 24, 2015 as your very own vacation day, so that you can lose yourself in this book. It's that good. It's the kind of lost that you find yourself again. It will make you want to crawl inside the pages of this magical land Lauren Rowe delivered to us. She's truly the goddess and the muse!!!
Me at the end of The Culmination ....
The happiest tears ever. I can't forget about the cover .... It's absolutely perfect! A beautiful cover for a beautiful book! From the first page of book one to the last page of book four .... Most EPIC love story every told. Thank you for sharing with the world such a creative, bold and unique love story Lauren. I'll forever be #teamlaurenrowe #lovemonkeyforlife

Oh man! words cannot truly describe how I feel about this book. I so missed Jonas and Sarah and this book made the wait so very worth it. I laughed, I cried, I swooned! Such an amazing read. Lauren Rowe just never, ever disappoints. I thought the 3rd book was my fav of the series but I have to say, The Culmination takes the cake!

The Culmination (The Club trilogy #4) by Lauren Rowe
4.5 stars!!
This was The Culmination of The Club Series by Lauren Rowe and what a finale for us die hards. As usual this book was full of Lauren Rowe’s witty humour that had me in hysterics at times but this was also perfectly balanced with some intensely emotional scenes too. If you are a sappy cow like me, you will need tissues. If you love Jonas Faraday, you will only love him more and maybe you will fall in love with the wise old one Josh Faraday too (not Plato, but he has some seriously good lines in here too!). I adore Laure Rowe’s writing style, she never fails to amuse me and move me.
As usual the story of Jonas and Sarah is hot, emotional, beautiful and perfect; these two are so well suited it is scary. These two are soul mates, they are head over heels in love with each other and literally need the other to live, they have that all-consuming love and it is one that everyone aspires to. This is one of those stories where I have to keep my lips zipped too, as much as I would love to gush about what happens in this book, but this final instalment needs to be read blind so that you can experience the plethora of emotions that I went through too.
This book has it all and by the end you will have known that you have ridden the most hellacious of roller coasters, this book has it all and Lauren Rowe takes no mercy with your emotions. There are some amazing highs and some tragic lows with that smattering of wit so that you can try to regain your senses and stabilise your fraught emotions.
As usual this book should have melted my kindle, we have some intense and scorching scenes between this couple but what I loved the most was how far their journey had come full circle, how both characters had evolved throughout this series and most of all how far Lauren Rowe’s voice has come. Lauren Rowe has an extremely unique style and is not for everyone, but for me her writing is refreshing, it is over the top, it is hilarious but most of all it is still emotive, not many can blend so many styles and still nail it and Lauren Rowe did just that...nailed it.
While this book was bittersweet as it marked the end of my journey with the Faradays, I cannot wait to see what Lauren Rowe delivers next. I have now read all her books and have loved them all, so now I am waiting...waiting for the next bunch of characters to take over my heart and head, come on Lauren Rowe, bring it on!

THE CULMINATION, book 4 in the captivating Club Series, is Rowe's best work to date! It consumes, enthralls, and tears you to pieces. I've quickly become obsessed with this series! Once you get a piece of Jonas and his crazy ways, there is absolutely NO turning back!
Just when you thought it was over after finishing the last book in The Club Trilogy...BAM! Rowe gifts us with a masterpiece called THE CULMINATION, a continuation of Jonas and Sarah's story. And guess what? NO CLIFFYS! Woohoo! Love it! I laughed. I cried. I blushed (multiple times). I got overheated and out of breath. But best of all, I felt complete after reading this book. I felt satisfied, content, and overwhelmingly happy. I love these characters so much. I'm emotionally invested and was honored to venture on this journey with such strong, complex, and beautiful characters, primary and secondary alike.
You can just tell when an author gives their all in a story and puts their blood, sweat, and tears into a series. It's in the characters voices and in their emotions, as well as, in their actions and their spirit. I can tell you that Ms. Rowe continues to make me a believer in happily ever afters. So many emotions and feels were pulled out from me, making me fall harder and harder as each chapter passes.
This was a beautiful journey, an emotional journey, and a scorching hot journey for sure. It's sad to say goodbye to another set of characters that I will never forget. I just hope that one day down the road, we get to meet them once again.

I received an ARC from the author for an honest review.
To tell you what I really thought of this book would take so long to read that I could probably publish it myself as a stand alone novel, so therefore, condensed edited version is as follows ...........
"The Culmination" is Book 4 in Lauren's "The Club" Series (& praying to a higher deity) that it won't be the last in this Epic Love Story that is Jonas & Sarah.....
This book is SO FRIKKIN GOOD! What can I say...She has captured me again.
I went from absolute peeing my pants laughing, to...sitting, head bowed silently sobbing, to...Horny as f#*k turned on, to...OMFG, NO, NO,NO! to...Oh Yeah, I want to PARTTAYYY with HER!!! all the way to the 'culmination' of this book.
Lauren infuses such raw humour & real life angst in her characters, that you could swear that they were real life people. Their struggles & celebrations are events we can relate to, so much so that we feel that we ourselves become part of the story.
Their story continues to give us readers the best time ever...outside our own bedrooms!
This Book is Epically Awesome People...you will not be disappointed.
Jonas & Sarah are the "IT" couple for me - They are 'The Pinnacle...The Culmination of Human Possibility.'
No other Book H or h will shift them from that mantle for me.
Lauren Rowe....I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!!!

I was given an ARC for an honest review from the Author and OMG Lauren Rowe I can't even...... Were do I begin????? I wish there were more stars I could've given this book or even like an book Oscar or something like that??? Seriously this was the best book to end the story of my 2 favourite people in the whole wide world Jonas and Sarah Faraday!!!!! And OMFG this book cover how hot is this???? Oh Jonas you just melt my heart. I don't even know what I can say without putting in any spoilers... All I can say is this book is by far my most favourite one of all of them and I LOVE ALL of Lauren Rowe books but The Culmination is just so so special. The love that Jonas and Sarah has for each other is a Once in a lifetime kind of love and it just gets stronger and stronger each day. I had alot of Lol moments in this one and a few tears!!! Well done Lauren Rowe on yet another PHENOMENAL Book!!! I Salute you!!!!

This fourth book in this series is an extended epilogue for Jonas and Sarah's story. So much more happiness! Not only do they get their HEA, I got mine as well.
You know that feeling that you'll be missing out on the goings-on on the lives of your favorite characters once you get to the "The End" part? This book is a perfect example that sometimes the HEA is enough. Who knows what could happen when you've run out of pages, right? This book almost makes me feel like the Faradays are more than fictional characters. Ahhh, but after having such crazy adventures and numerous trials, I think I'm ready to let go of these two. It was a wild run, crazy monkeys! I can only take so much feels.
PS--Despite the given that Josh and Kat also had their own HEA as evidenced in this book, I'm still excited and looking forward to reading their story in their own respective POVs. Here's to the next three books!

BEST ENDING EVER!!!!
Now you may wonder why I say this but it's simple. In my opinion this book should have been last and that's how I read it.
There were times in this book I cried because my heart was breaking. Others times LOL, but at the end it was tears of complete joy. For Jonas and for Josh and their beautiful family.

Fun for fans of the Club series, a satisfying conclusion to Jonas/Sarah. A little too much baby talk? But that's okay.

Culmination.noun.the highest or climactic point of something.
The Culmination by Lauren Rowe takes us to that highest and climactic point both literally and figuratively. The best part of it all is the journey she takes us on to get to there. In her unique amazeballs style, Lauren has once more evoked a myriad of emotions as she continues to tell us the epic love story of Jonas and Sarah. From gut wrenching anxiety to weightless euphoria, side splitting laughter to heart lurching sweetness, and of course the undeniable heat and intensity.
Just as in the first 3 books of the series, Lauren has the uncanny ability to present her characters and story lines that make it relatable and realistic. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lauren's books (especially this one) because beyond the love story and the hot ovary busting, nether parts awakening sex, she also empowers and challenges us to reach for that brass ring to truly strive to be the divine original forms of ourselves no matter our circumstance which again is evident in this book.
Finally, what a book cover !!! Such strength and tenderness all in one can set one's skin on fire and melt everything else inside. My heart literally stopped and started with a frenzy the moment I laid eyes on it!!!
So for those who have not yet read any of the books of the Club Series, I strongly urge you to do so - it will take you on a ride that you will never want to get off of.
For all of us love monkeys who are already goners for Jonas and Sarah, what a truly special gift this is from our beloved Lauren Rowe! I am thankful to have had the opportunity to read this book as I love it to pieces. THE CULMINATION WILL INDUBITABLY ROCK YOUR WORLD !!!

I have missed Sarah and Jonas. This is a continuation to their story. Lauren Rowe the author recommended that I read this book after Josh series now I see why.
Omg Sarah is pregnant with twins yay. They have been married for three years. I can't believe Jonas still believes his life will always be filled with hurt. After all the good things that has happened.
Why doesn't Sarah ever listen to Jonas like really. He had a feeling something bad will happen. Ofcourse something happens it always does wow. I am speechless dumbfounded and hoping it works out for them. This heartbreaking if you ever almost lost a child or lost one you might have to skip some parts.
I love how Jonas told her stories of the past. Which helped us know what had happened since they have been married. This book was full of WOW moments, sexual tension, anguish and so many loving moments. Their love for eachother is like no other. Now Lauren Rowe writing is like no other. Who knows how she comes up with all this. Her books in this series are long but you end up still wanting more of these characters. One of my favorite series I definitely will reread.

What a wild ride I just wrapped up named Jonas&Sarah. My heart is going through so many emotions having been on this incredible journey with these two. Watching them fall in lust, love..horrific childhoods being brought to the surface. Demons exercised, Major angst, some of the sexiest scenes ever written. I feel like I am part of the Faraday family. I can’t wait to dive into Josh&Kat’s incredible stories. Lauren Rowe is a goddess!!✨

Note: You must read The Club Trilogy before reading this book! It is not a standalone!
***I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review!***
This book was a special treat from the author because those who have read The Club and fell in love with Jonas and Sarah wanted more. This book was definitely more and then some. It was, aptly titled, the culmination of the greatest love story.
This book takes place a couple years after Jonas and Sarah get married. They are happily living life together, experiencing all the love and joy that life has to offer them. We learn more about their journey to a love that is the envy of the gods. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Yet, no matter what comes their way, these two have a way of defying the odds.
Let me start by saying that this book is brilliant. It contains even more of the things that I loved about The Club Trilogy-the witticisms, sarcasm, and hilarity that is Sarah effing Cruz; the wise, sex starved, kinky and vulnerable Jonas Faraday; even Kat, Josh and Henn who add their own brand of crazy to the story. I love how powerful words can be, and this story is such a beautiful example of the power of words. How they can make us laugh, cry, fall apart, be renewed and fall in love all over again. How our words can wound or heal, build up or tear down. The words in this book are often poetic, and then in the next sentence completely hysterical. That is one thing I love about this author's writing style.
Jonas has lived his life by his boy Plato's sayings, and Sarah is the perfect muse for his gut-busting Hallmark worthy greeting card phrases. For him, Sarah is everything. She is the universe! The air he breathes! The balm for his tortured soul! Without her, he doesn't feel life is worth living. Sarah is just as devoted to Jonas as he is to her. He pushes her to greater heights of passion and pleasure. Gives her confidence and a sense of stability. Protects her heart and soul. Teaches her what it means to love and trust. Theirs is a truly magnificent story that you never want to see end.
I loved the new scenes in this story. Some of them brought tears to my eyes from laughing so hard, and some brought tears to my eyes because they were incredibly heartbreaking. We get a new perspective about the depth of Jonas' feelings for his wife. Think the bathroom scene at U Dub but more intense. I can't say more without giving away spoilers. We also see something that I never thought we would-a completely out of control Sarah that will surprise the pants off of you. That scene definitely threw me for a loop since she is usually the level-headed one.
Other scenes made my glasses fog up they were so steamy. When I say that Jonas is kinky, I mean kinky to a new degree. While most of the sex scenes were enjoyable, there were a small few that were just too much for me. One thing in particular that grossed me out. I've only read about it in one other book, and I had the same reaction then. Luckily, it was a small part of the story. Most of the time I was wishing for my own woman wizard, and hoping he would climb my own Mount Everest.
Jonas is definitely one of my top book boyfriends of all time, and Sarah one of my all time favorite heroines! I was incredibly happy to read this book, and I am so grateful to the author for writing more of their story. Just when you think you can't love someone any more than you do, your heart expands to a new degree and the love keeps on growing. This book is the perfect example of how one event in our lives can propel our world into a new and amazing direction. One we could never imagine wanting, but one that we need.
This is a must read book and series! I cannot recommend it enough! I am a huge fan of the author, and she is one of my "just click it" authors. I am so excited to read Josh and Kat's story out later this year.

Firstly (is that a word??) Thank you, thank you Lauren Rowe for gifting me an early copy of this magnificent read!!! xoxo
The Culmination was definitely a wonderful surprise for me, I was waiting on The Playboy and The Party Girl and didn't even know that we were being graced with another chapter into the Jonas & Sarah world!!!!
Who wouldn't fall in love with something that in all reality is NOT real, but with every fiber and word read feels as if they are. You can't help but be drawn into their story and wish that you had a love story like theirs
Who wouldn't want a hunky monkey of a husband with an inner dialogue like Jonas'??
I am sad that we are at the end of their story, but the ending was utterly perfect, just as the rest of the series was. This wasn't too much, as sometimes adding to an already ended series can be. So worth adding to your must read list, but make sure to make some much needed time because this was sure hard to put down once I started!!! Worth much more than just a measly 5 stars too!!!
The Culmination was definitely a wonderful surprise for me, I was waiting on The Playboy and The Party Girl and didn't even know that we were being graced with another chapter into the Jonas & Sarah world!!!!
We are thrown right back into both of their heads once again, they are now married and expecting. I was a little disappointed when I first started reading after finding out that it was a few years in the future and felt a bit cheated, but it was unfounded once we started moving further into the book.
The book is just as good, if not better, than the other three. We are blessed with another telling of their intimate, kinky and quirky love!
"I'm just horny as hell-I think it's time for you to just screw the crap out of your pregnant wife like she's your sorry-ass bitch." She pats her belly. "I'm a beach ball, baby. Go ahead and bounce me."
"You're not a pussy-ass Jonas," she whispers."You're a beast. I'm actually offended you'd even say that about yourself....;"She scoffs. "You're real. You're human. You have emotions because you're not some one-dimensional hero in an action movie or a romance novel. You're not some bullshit fantasy-you're flesh and blood and bones." She juts her chin at me. "And balls. Gigantic donkey balls." Clearly, she's on a roll. "You're a freaking badass and a sex god and a stud....;"
Who wouldn't fall in love with something that in all reality is NOT real, but with every fiber and word read feels as if they are. You can't help but be drawn into their story and wish that you had a love story like theirs
"I love you Sarah.""I love you, too, Jonas."She touches the tattoo on my bare chest-something she does quite frequently, actually. "Todo mi mundo."
Who wouldn't want a hunky monkey of a husband with an inner dialogue like Jonas'??
I look at my watch again, but it's an act. When you've chartered a private plane, the crew waits for you. As they should. Because I'm a fucking god among men. And I'm gonna fuck my wife 'til she sees God. And when she does, she's gonna say, "Oh, hi, Jonas."
I am sad that we are at the end of their story, but the ending was utterly perfect, just as the rest of the series was. This wasn't too much, as sometimes adding to an already ended series can be.

Quando il TROPPO STROPPIA!!!!
SPOILER
Ci sono LIBRI e "libri", ci sono epiloghi brevi, lunghi e...con Farcitura EXTRA.
La farcitura extra nei libri è paragonabile a quella nei dolci, in alcuni ne esalta il sapore, è paradisiaca e Vi rende felici, in altri...bè in altri rovina tutto, procurandovi anche una leggera nausea.
Aimèe per me questo libro fa parte del secondo caso per svariati motivi.
Ultimamente ho iniziato a leggere diversi generi di libri e quindi non mi dovrei sorprendere... ma alcune scene del racconto mi hanno fatto spalancare gli occhi e cascare la mascella.
Tralasciando tutte quelle frasine quasi comiche o le urla e i mugugnii di lei che ulula come se dovesse vincere il got talent degli orgasmi...ma la figura di lui mi ha veramrente fatto pensare ad un uomo (anzi maiale) in calore h24 , con (alla home Simpson), tre scimmiette nel cervello che gli sussurrano: sesso, sesso, sesso.
la moglie sta male?
pensa al sesso.
la moglie è lontana?
Doppio sesso.
La moglie è indisposta?
ancora sesso.
E sul ciclo mestruale in questo libro ho letto una delle scene più truculente e nauseanti mai lette .
l'apoteosi di tutto il racconto racchiusa nella scena di lui che si "lecca i baffi" dopo aver divorato una " fiorentina al sangue".
E per sangue intendo proprio quel sangue.
Disgustoso.
Ancora mi devo riprendere.
e voglio evitare di menzionare le altre scenette di lui che cerca di provocare la Cd pioggerella dell'amore nella moglie brrrrr.
In tutto il libro salvo solo i due bambini ( meglio che non penso alla loro cameretta " bagnata")
....... Meglio se mi fermo qua....

I received an ARC from the author for an honest Review.
Well what can I say, this trilogy was one of the best that I ever read it, because is was not like the other same billionaire man chasing the “normal” girl, and this series is perfect from the beginning to end. “The Culmination” is the continuation of the story of sweet Jonas and Sara, if you read the first three and you liked this one you are going to FLOVE IT is FHAWT and sweet and everything, this book turn me on in a way that I thought was impossible (blushing) lol. Lauren is the perfect writer because she told the story but teach you the meanings and that was beyond. Have no words, this book it not disappoint for me because I love how Lauren write, but if I loved before I IFLOVE IT like right now MORE!!!! LADY YOU DESERVED EVERITHING YOU ACHIEVE!!!! The drama, the stress, the love you feel let me tell you one thing you don’t regret nothing, I felt everything and I LOVE IT, did I say that again. And for readers there is a part I going to remember the rest of my life:
“Our Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the gods. The envy of the gods. The greatest love story ever told. “The Culmination of the Human Possibility”

Ok so I've got jumbled thoughts because this whole story line made me vibrate with glee. FIRST I read/listened (via Audible) to Lauren Rowe and John Lane (YES THAT LAUREN ROWE) give Sarah and Jonas a voice! Fan friggingtastic I tell ya!!! You can't beat hurt people who find unbelievable love mixed with serious music love, Plato, Aristotle, hot mind blowing sex, Spanish, howler monkeys, Ukranian separatist, a twin, did I mention hot sex, hip hop, a super hacker, the U.S. government, a white rapper in Thailand WITH a Thai rap group , did I mention unbelievable sex and a HEA that took me thru every emotion imagineable!! I've been telling all my friends this was the read to get to quickly.
I'm not certain if I'm the only one but sometimes in the midst of a series I experience a kind of fatigue & have to take a break but Mrs Rowe delivered and I just kept purchasing the next installment and adding the narration! Don't regret the $$$ spent! Worth adding to your library!!!

OMG!!!!
For a trilogy that got turned into a series, this book is amazing!!!
Lauren goes on writing with her own unique style and she simply rocks!
I know.... too many exclamation marks, but I just couldn't put the book down, once I started it.
It is set three years after The Redemption and it is a complete surprise!
When the trilogy ended, we thought that the heroes had reached their final destination and their peaks. We were wrong!!!
There are more hurdles to overcome and a long path to walk until their culmination. Lot's of things change, yet some things stay the same.
I don't think that Jonas and Sarah could have gotten a better book than this one!
P.s. Do I sense a bit of love to names beginning with J ???

Holy jeebus, I hate to say it, but I didn't love this.
But I didn't hate it, either.
I'm all for people trying to better themselves. I really am. I feel no shame in thinking people should try to woo their partners whether they've been together three months or thirty years. For that reason, I love Sarah and Jonas as a couple. They're funny and sweet together. So that hasn't changed.
I also love Josh and his relationship with his brother. I look forward to Josh and Kat's story.
But... for me, some of the story felt a little over the top in it's gushy love, let's-try-to-outdo-ourselves-in-our-overactive-sexcapades stuff. I was even a little grossed out at one point.
Know this, Jonas Faraday, you will forever be my dream man.

WOW !!! I have loved everyone of the The Club books . I don't have one favorite in this series. They are all my favorites. This installment had my emotions going crazy. With every flip of the page my heart was in my throat.
Jonas is my ultimate book boy friend. Even with all his broken pieces he is still perfect. Do yourself a favor. Read it. Read them all. Lauren Rowe is a wizard with words. She brings you in to every chapter and makes you beg for more.
I'm having a very hard time letting go of Jonas. Ms. Rowe. I really need you to rethink book 4 being your last Jonas book. I need more. I can't let him go.

Being back in Jonas's head, LOVED IT‼️
This writer pens dialogue amazingly so. She does it better than anyone I've ever read. It's laid out how we really speak to each other with life going on around us at the same time. Some of my favorite scenes are the ones with just the brothers. They show the deep love & support but their still guys! Hilariously funny guys LOL!
I'll definitely miss Sarah and Jonas & their love. So unique compared to what you read, what we read a lot. Some of the books are very similar and I don't mind but their's is definitely a step in to their own universe.
Hopefully we will be able to read more about them in the upcoming Josh and Kitty Kat books‼️

I am in awe of this book. I laughed a lot and cried a little. Emotions were all over the place. I wish everyone could experience a love like Jonas and Sarah. When you have your one, the one that gives you everything, the one you'd do anything for, and would give everything and do anything for you too that is the true culmination of possibility. Outstanding job Lauren Rowe.

Honestly, this should've been the last book in this series .... I mean , it felt like it should've been coz Josh and Kate were already together in this book and the next book , book 5 The Infatuation is Josh and Kat's story and goes back to how they met in book 2 :| ... Any who , as always , super cute , like ridiculously cute , Sarah and Jonas are a blast together. They are super hawt and such a hoot !!!! Loooove!
