Consummation: The Josh and Kat Trilogy, Book 3

The Infatuation (Josh & Kat #1) (The Club #5)The Revelation (Josh & Kat #2) (The Club #6)The Consummation (Josh & Kat #3) (The Club #7) by Lauren Rowe4.5 stars!!“We’re the greatest love story ever told – our love is the wonder of the wise, the joy of the good, the amazement of the gods.”I love Lauren Rowe’s humour and I always know that I am going to be laughing out loud when I read one of her books and this series is no different. It is this humour that really balances the angst and the heat within this series pages.For those that are staunch fans of The Club Series, you will know that the first four books in this series centred around Jonas Faraday, Jonas was the serious one, the deep one, the sensitive one, the one that had been hurt by the past and relied on the loyalty and support of his brother to even focus and live at times, of course he now has his wife, Sarah, but Josh was always there and now it is his turn to shine.“I’ve carried my brother’s sanity on my back my whole effing life, even when I’ve barely been able to hold the weight of my own. And I’m tired.”Josh Faraday is a bit of a jack the lad, a playboy, but underneath that façade, a toned body and pretty face is a man that is also deep and has that mysterious air about him, he is an enigma. He was one pretty parcel I wanted to unwrap layer by layer until the question was answered. Who was Josh Faraday?Kat is Sarah’s best friend and we have already seen interaction between these two through Jonas’s story. Kat was the party girl with a hyphen. Kat is the total opposite of Sarah, she is confident, sassy, can give as good as she gets and has a fantastic sense of humour. She can really go to bat against Josh and at times it was hard to see who had actually won. Their text messages, their phone calls all had me in hysterics at times as well as feeling that intense sexual chemistry that always surrounded them.“I'm not a girl who likes to be chewed up and spit out by any man. If anyone's gonna do the chewing up and spitting out, then it's gonna be me.”There is some crossover with Jonas’s story and I would highly recommend reading that series first, it also cements just how pivotal Josh and Kat are in Jonas and Sarah’s world. While some events were familiar seeing them through different eyes gave a fresh insight into the Faraday’s as a whole and not once did it feel repetitive.Lauren Rowe really delivers with Josh and Kat’s story. This is one couple that you can’t help but fall in love with. Their rapport is undeniable, they feed off each other and their dialogue at times is like watching a game of tennis but with many laughs rather than oooo’s and ahhhh’s. But with this couple Lauren Rowe delivers another facet to their story, as ever, she delivers on the emotional and the angst. At times it was frustrating but you know you have to take the rough with the smooth, all relationships have their ups and downs and these two are no different. With that undeniable fire that rages between them both in and outside of the bedroom you knew that these two would be combustible.“From the minute I laid eyes on Josh, I felt like I’d hopped aboard a bullet train. Well, it looks like our train just jumped the tracks. And now there’s only one possible outcome. Crash.”So the question on everybody’s lips is who is your favourite Faraday? My answer…impossible choice. These brothers are totally different and are totally endearing in their own way. But one thing that Lauren Rowe delivered was another fantastic series. As each book Lauren Rowe releases comes out I can see the growth in her writing, that deeper emotional connection with her characters and her character development as a whole, intertwine that with all that zany kind of Lauren Rowe humour and you have a match made in heaven. Sometimes you just click with an author’s writing style and that is what I have done with Lauren Rowe, while some may say the fun factor is a bit over the top, for me it just has me in hysterics as it resonates deep with the child inside. So yes, I laughed a lot, I swooned a lot, I cried a lot but most of all I loved a lot. These characters have made such an impact and it is a sad day knowing that this series has come to an end. However, I am going to beg Lauren for Hen’s story. I want to know all about the man behind the computer, the geek, the nerd, but a man with a heart of gold.“My wish for you both is that you find eternal light outside the cave together.”

Where do I even begin??? This book was my favorite of their 3 books. I laughed so much with their series but especially with The Consummation. It took me a while to read this book, because I wanted to savor it like a glass of Uncle William's finest scotch. I didn't want it to be over. I'm not ready to say goodbye to everyone.The way Josh grew in this book was amazing. He truly became the man he was meant to be and it was beautiful to watch him in moments where everything seemed to click. Kat is still amazing and fierce. I love her so much! I think what I loved the most was watching Jonas and Josh's relationship. I don't think we got alot of the with Jonas' books and I truly loved to watch them together. Chapter 26 and 27 had me bawling like a baby! Everything was just so incredibly beautiful. Thank you Lauren, for giving us that scene. I absolutely love Josh and Kat but my heart belongs to Jonas and Sarah. Josh and Kat were like my fun awesome best friends and I'm so happy I got to read their story, but Jonas is it for me. A little more about that in a minute!Lauren, this next part is just for you. It's my love letter to you.First, I want to say how proud I am of you lady! You have written and published 8 books in the last year *starts a slow clap* That is truly amazing! Second, I want to say thank you for writing these books. You have brought me so much joy by getting to know all of your characters. Thirdly, Thank you for giving us Jonas Faraday. By you giving us him, I have learned to love Greek mythology, Plato and Aristotle, how wonderful the alphabet can be and a new appreciation for monkeys! Sarah and Jonas' love taught me things. Jonas made me stop and look at my life. Plato's Theory of Forms, really touched me and made me open up my eyes. Seriously.... it blew my mind! I also want to thank you for your friendship. You are truly an amazing person with such a huge heart. You are genuine and love life! You are so positive and it rubs off on people, I can promise you that!I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters!!!! I really think Henny and Hannah Banana need a book! Atleast a novella *winky face* I just want to say thank you again for all that you do for us and thank you for giving us these characters. No matter how many books I read Jonas and Josh Faraday will be at the top of my list and Sarah and Kat will be at the top of my girl crush list! I can't wait to see what you have planned next! BUT after a well deserved break. *finishes with a fast clap*

I really enjoyed this book.... The author did a great job of wrapping up the storyline to where you got all your questions answered. Josh and Kats ending was perfect....can't go e anything away but some surprises were had.

When Kat discovers she's pregnant will this signal the end of the fun times she's having with Josh? Or will this signal the forever after they both secretly crave? When Josh realises that he'd be lost without Kat, he pulls out all the stops to try and win her agreement to marriage. This was a great culmination of the Josh and Kat story with hilarity, chemistry and swoony moments every person longs for!

Blimey I honestly don't know where to start or how to give this bloody amazing book a god's honest review without letting any spoilers slip...This book - well this book just took my breath away, left me a slobbering wreck, clutching my own heart & wondering why I didn't foresee the need for more tissues.This is the final, most beautifully mastered book in the Josh Faraday & Kat Morgan rollercoaster of a fairytale, filled with warmth, depth, love, loyalty, passion raw emotion, & a massive slice of mind blowing kinky Faraday fuckery.Josh, oh Josh how I love & adore you. This man, this man right here, in this final book has whipped my feet from under me, tore a chunk of my heart right out & screamed 'I own you bitch' from the top of his beautiful mouth, Ugh at times i really did want to punch him, or at least shake him violently lol, hell I would have even strung up neon lights to help guide his sexy ass in the right direction, but none was needed. The man - MY MAN, found himself in every way possible & that alone had me holding his hand & jumping off the proverbial mountain in true Jonas style. Yup, this man owns me & I can't ever let him go.Kat, this women is the ultimate book girlfriend & to be honest, she shines so bright in this book.. She's strong, so damned strong. She is the rock, the anchor, the unbreakable chain. She truly shows her inner beauty & you can't help but fall emotionally in love with her. Reading it made me wish I was Sara Freaking Cruz for having her for reals & for keeps. She never once loses her trade mark humour, freakiness & passion which - gah - honestly just made her as bloody as perfect as they come.What else did this book deliver - well, it brought me some more Jonas & Sarah & gawd did it make me realise just how much I love these guys. Jonas is so JONAS & this final book really shows you how far he has come on his own journey to happiness & how strong emotionally he is. I love how he wears his love for his brother like a badge of honour & how he really comes into his own, loving & supporting his brother with every fibre of his soul..... Then there's the Morgans - hells bells & all things amazeballs. This family is just hilarious & each & everyone one of them leaves an imprint on you that you never want to shake.So overall - well Josh & Kat's fairytale is beautiful, sad, funny, heart warming, heart wrenching, emotional, but utterly awesome. Their journey's end had me crying happy ugly tears & I can't thank Lauren enough for telling their story. I didn't realise how much I needed to hear it. Sad thing is, it's over now & do I feel like I have lost a kitten lol.. Its like "wow - thats it over" ........ Le Sigh <3I cant genuinely say how much I recommended everyone reads this series from the beginning. Let yourself fall in love with the Faraday's, girl crush on 2 awesome chicas & decide which brother you want to claim as your own!!! Lauren Rowe, you are a hawt, witty, funny, inspiring author & I do love you to death for giving me the Faraday's - Thanks monkey mamma xx

Love love LOVED this book! I laughed and cried through Josh and Kats emotional roller coaster journey (not of the Mickey Mouse variety) even though this book ended at a good point. I still want more. I'm absolutely addicted to the Faradays! I can't get enough of them. I cannot recommend these books highly enough. They're a sure fire way to put a smile on my face even on those days you just don't want to get out of bed! Go Kat and Josh! And the references to films??? Loooooove! Some of my favourite chick flicks! The ideal man is one that can make your fantasies become a reality and Josh is total that ideal man! I'm so sad to have finished this book! :(

Wow, I'm an emotional wreck after finishing this book, the last in Josh and Kat's story. Having been on pins waiting for its release I pulled an all-nighter to read this as soon as it was released. And boy was it worth it, what a fantastic end to their story. Again, like the others in this series, I've been bawling my eyes out, laughing my socks off and panting with the hawtness of some of the scenes. I thoroughly love the Faraday brothers and their girls. This has been the best series of books written by far. I cannot recommend these books enough as a series to read

I love Josh and Kat, they have more chemistry that any other couple in any other romance book, it's totally off the scale and yet the book is laugh out loud funny at the same time. Definitely read the club series and particularly the last three!
