Synopsis from Goodreads

Will Ethan Frost go too far for the woman he loves?

The moment Chloe Girard walked into my life, she exposed secrets and emotions I always thought were best kept buried.

She wants to move on, to ignore the past. But I can’t do that. Not when she still suffers. And not when the man who hurt her remains unscathed. So when I discover the perfect opportunity to make him pay for what he did to Chloe, I can’t walk away, no matter the consequences.

But there’s a fine line between justice and obsession. As I turn up old crimes and new lies, I know that I’m playing with fire—and risking the very foundations of our relationship.

My love for Chloe is absolute. I just hope it’s enough to save us both.

The third installment of the amazing Ethan Frost picks up exactly where Addicted ended minus the epilogue. I really liked how Tracy Wolff progressed the story and wove in the Play Me books as well.

Although both Ethan and Chloe are more secure in their relationship there is still a huge amount of insecurity of both sides, exasperated by turbulent relationships and past emotional damage. Although they have both grown as characters they still have a long way to go. The need for openness and honesty within their relationship is a challenge for both of them.

Ethan takes protecting Chloe to the extreme and at the detriment of their relationship. Chloe is a lot stronger than he gives her credit for. I really liked Chloe’s character development in this book, she has moved past the trauma, concentrating on the good in her life – focusing on the positive rather than the negative that cannot be changed.

The plot takes a look at the inadequacies of the justice system and how the victim can be vilified as opposed to commended for their courage in the face of suffering.

Exposed rounds out Chloe and Ethan’s relationship and peripheral plot nicely.
