Third Time Lucky: The Oxford Blue Series #3 (The Oxford Blue, #3)

by Pippa Croft

Fans of Sylvia Day and E. L. James will love the third and final part of this exciting romance series.

'It's Sister Dixon from the Royal Infirmary here. I'm sorry to tell you that Captain Hunt has been involved a serious incident.'

It's the start of the Easter holidays and Lauren Cusack should be heading back to Washington before her final term at Wyckham College, Oxford.

But this phone call changes everything.

Her relationship with impossibly handsome aristocrat Alexander Hunt has been turbulent, passionate and addictive and Lauren knows she should walk away . . . but she also knows that when she rushes to his side she will be sucked back into his world.

And sure enough, Alexander - even a seriously injured Alexander - is an intoxicating cocktail Lauren cannot resist.

Despite everything that tries to break them apart, she finds herself happier than she's ever been.

But as her final term races by, and she is offered the perfect job back in Washington whilst Alexander is tied to his Estate, the impossibility of their romance hits home.

The love trials of Lauren and Alexander continue in this captivating novel in Pippa Croft's brilliant Oxford Blue romance series.

Reviews

[Emma (SCR)]

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Firstly thank you to JB for letting me take part in this blog tour. I've previously read the first and second book in this series and I loved them. The wait for this third book has been excruciating.

We pick this book up right after the second one ends. The second book ended on such a cliff-hanger that it almost killed me. I raced through the beginning of this book needing to know what would happen next.

Lauren was as useless as ever at staying away from Alexander and his drama. I feel this book while still written from Lauren's POV was more focused on the changes for Alexander than for Lauren.

Alexander really grew a lot in this book. With the struggles that he faces with his injury life Alexander has to learn to adapt. He has to learn that he can't always get his own way and that sometimes you need a bit of help. Of course being Alexander Hunt he fights this all the way.

I really enjoyed seeing more of Emma. I loved seeing the changes in her and Alexander's relationship. They really do only have each other left and after Alexander's accident Emma grows up quite a lot.

I loved Letty. She is a genuinely nice person and I don't know how Rupert can be related to her, let alone have been in her womb for 9 months.

Valentina, OMG that girl just doesn't give up. She is so manipulative. Every time I thought we'd seen the end of her, back she came to cause more problems.

I raced through the last few chapters of this book because I was worried I wasn't going to get the ending I wanted and even right up until the last page I wasn't sure how this book was going to end.

I have a feeling this is the last book in the series but I would love maybe a little novella on how these two are doing at some point in the future. I don't quite feel like their story is over. ( I will upgrade to 5 stars if I know there is another book haha)
