Maybe Always by Ella Miles

Will one truth set her free?

Kinsley thought she had found the truth, but she is only beginning to discover the real truth about her family. About herself. Her heart and body still yearn for Killian, but she has to keep him safe. The only way to do that is to lie, just like everyone has lied to her.

Killian thought he had everything he ever wanted. He had the perfect girl. He had the perfect job. All that was missing was a ring on her finger. But now both are gone. And the only way to get either of them back is to choose between the girl he loves and the job he feels destined to do. But as he sits in a jail cell he doesn't know how he will get either of them back.

Will Kinsley be strong enough to save herself and those she loves? If so, at what cost?

***Warning: Three book series. Contains hot sex, a female that finds her strength, and dark pasts that turn very dark as the series progresses. Only for those that love dirty romances, edge of your seat suspense, twists, and a little bit of darkness. Spinoff series featuring Scarlett coming Fall 2016.***

This one picks up where book two ends, with Kinsley on her way back to the States to turn herself in to the FBI, or so it seems. While Killian was left behind in Ireland, and when he steps off the plane in New York, he is arrested by his FBI buddy and taken to jail.

After Kinsley reads the letter from her father, she realizes she never knew him or her family at all. And she feels she must do what is right, and to do that is to lie to everyone around her so she can learn the truth.

Killian will do what he can to protect her, but maybe he should have told her the truth from the beginning. Then maybe she would not have run from him to learn the truth on her own.

Will the truth be able to set them free or will it destroy them in the end? Will Kinsley really find out just who they dealt with and what her father and grandfather were up to?

I found Kinsley to be naive and too innocent for her age from the beginning, but she grew up quickly during this story with the help of Killian. I enjoyed the series and can't wait for Scarlett's story.

I had quite mixed feelings about this series going into this book. I felt like it should have been one book instead of split into three parts. I still feel like that now, but I did get some of the answers I had been waiting for in this one.

I really liked Kinsley and Killian's chemistry. The characters were interesting, the plot appealing, but it all sort of unraveled for me. It was a great plan, but Kinsley just got even more ignorant/flaky/stupid as each book progressed. I had had hope for her, but it seriously was like a train wreck for me to read how stupid she was at times. I do understand that she had a goal and was doing things in the name of love, but really... that was a stretch. What put me off the most, was the completely ridiculous timing for the sex scenes. I'm sorry, but in those situations, you aren't going to be going at it and screaming during! I kept thinking it had to be a joke and then it got worse with the addition of a fetish mingled at the most bizarre time. I think that pretty much killed it for me. I read to the end and felt that even that was somewhat smashed into a few pages and rushed compared to the rest.

Overall, it was an okay series. It had great promise, but just didn't really live up to it for me. I do enjoy the writer's style and imagination, so I will be looking into more books by her.

Maybe Never by Ella Miles

Will one mistake destroy her life? Will one secret? One lie? 

Kinsley Felton thought she had found a solution to her problems. She thought she had convinced her family that she is strong enough to run the company, if not on her own, then with help. She thought she had won when she decided not to marry Killian and instead just date him. But everything she thought was wrong.

Killian isn't who she thought he was. Now she is sitting in a jail cell for something she didn't do because of him. But maybe she deserves to sit in jail anyway to pay for her past mistakes. All she knows is she needs to stay far away from Killian no matter how much her heart aches for him.

Will Kinsley let herself get lost in the deceit or will she save herself and take another chance at love?

**Maybe Series is a 3 book series. The series is a little bit dirty and grows darker with each book. This book ends on a cliffhanger.***

Kinsley Felton has been arrested for things she knows nothing about. And she doesn't believe that her father and grandfather are guilty of these charges either. After spending a night in jail, she is released and never wants to spend another night there. She has to prove the FBI wrong about her family. When Killian or whoever he is tries to tell her to take the deal the FBI is offering, she can't because she doesn't know anything and will not testify against her grandfather.

With Killian trying to keep away from Kinsley and save his job, it is hard because he is realizing that his feelings for her are stronger than he wants to believe. But Kinsley hates him for trying to take down her family and for all the lies he has told.

Can she move past all Killian's lies and still love him? Will she believe the truth when she learns just what her father and grandfather were up to? Will she spend the next ten years in jail for something she knew nothing about? And what is in the letter from her father?

To me, Kinsley was more together in this book then she was in the first book, she was a spoiled little rich girl and maybe spending another night in jail and realizing what was really going on around her has toughened her up some. I am enjoying this story and can't wait to read the next book.


Jacki – ☆☆☆
After reading the first book in this series, I had very mixed feelings. There were so many missing pieces and so much confusion. I was happy to get my hands on this book to finally get some answers. It definitely had them, but I still think the first two books would have been better for the reader if combined.

Kinsley may think her world is falling apart, but she has no idea how bad it actually is. When it is all revealed, she needs to find herself and figure out what to do.

Killian knows his and Kinsley's relationship and his relationship with the FBI are both on rocky ground. He's teetering on a fine line trying to juggle both and keep Kinsley safe. Can he do that if she doesn't trust him?

Overall, I liked this book much better than the first and will be looking into the next one for more answers.

Maybe Yes by Ella Miles

Her future is already set, all she has to do is marry a complete stranger.

Kinsley Felton has everything. Money, a loving family, and a modeling career. She graduates from Yale in just days, but unlike a typical college student she doesn't have to spend hours looking for a job when she graduates. Kinsley will inherit the multi-billion dollar gaming and hospitality company her great-grandfather started. The only problem is she has to do everything her family asks for in order to get that money. That includes marrying a man of her family's choosing. That's not a problem since Kinsley has been following her family's orders all her life. Until a phone call from her grandfather changes everything.

Will she marry the man her family chooses or will she decide her own future?

Kris – ☆☆☆
I read the entire Aligned series by Ella Miles and enjoyed the story very much. When this book came up for free and review I grabbed it up. BUT, I found Kinsley's character a bit lackluster and overly wishy washy from the get go. I hoped by mid-book she'd do something more redeeming than deciding to run her family's casino without any prior business experience, but, nope. Talk about setting yourself up for failure. While Kinsley has a real mind for numbers, which includes counting cards at a blackjack table, I never felt she had the ability to run the family casino. I think that's where the story went south for me. She needed to show her skills sooner or show us something redeemable other than her inability to even choose an alcoholic beverage! Killian was an interesting character though, and he alone kept me reading where I was ready to stop. He was a great dominant male with lovely dirty talking skills. The end, like the last four books I've read by Miles, was quite a twisty cliffhanger! But while I had to know what happened next in the Aligned series, I really am not feeling the need in the Maybe series. Kinsley was just too vapid and indecisive.

Kinsley Felton is 21 years old and about to graduate from college. She is the daughter of the Felton family who own several casinos in Vegas, so you could say she is a princess. And at times, she acts like a spoiled princess. She can never make up her mind and if she does, it takes her a long time. When tragedy strikes, she has to go home and there she learns just what her father and grandfather had planned for her life.

Killian Browne is the VP of Operations, worked closely with Kinsley's father at one of the casinos and he wants to be CEO. But the deal he and Kinsley have to agree to is a big one. Will they both accept it or will they fight each other to the end?

And holy hell, I was not expecting that ending at all. I can't wait to start the next one.


Sarah – ☆☆
This is the story of a spoiled, filthy rich model and heiress who just never stops whining. Beautiful, privileged and completely indecisive, this girl wakes up at the age of 21 and decides she isn’t quite sure she likes the life she has allowed her family to create for her.

I usually enjoy arranged marriage or marriage of convenience stories, but I really couldn’t bring myself to like the characters in this one. There just isn’t enough believable conflict for most of this story. Killian is blandly perfect, which makes him less than interesting and only serves to emphasise Kinsley’s princess attitude. Supporting characters are sketched in and Kinsley’s magic business skills really aren’t believable.

I am never a fan of cliffhanger stories and this one is really strange. At the end of this incredibly insipid, old-school romance, a wildcard cliffhanger twists the series into some sort of mafia/federal agent adventure. But while cliffhangers are supposed to entice readers to continue with a series, this one really annoyed me because I only finished the book for resolution and I really don’t care enough about any of the characters to read the next book.

I imagine that fans of the Kardashians, TOWIE and Made in Chelsea will enjoy this series, but I need more complex characters, believable conflict, and a touch of humour with my romance. This series just isn’t for me.


Jordan – ☆☆☆
Kinsley Felton has been following her family's orders her whole life, and as long as she continues to do so she will eventually inherit her great grandfather's casino company. The only problem is Kinsley's not sure she wants to marry a man her family chooses for her.

I don't know about Maybe Yes, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, it kind of grew on me and I would be interested in reading book two; but on the other hand, as a female I kind of hated Kinsley, the main character. I just felt like smacking her in the face half the time. Where was her backbone? Why was she so whiny and indecisive? I get that she's been a pampered princess, but she can't even order her own adult beverage? Personally, I think Killian is what really made me want to finish this book. He came off as strong, confident, and sexy. I would've really liked to have gotten some chapters in his character's point of view, especially after that ending! All in all, not my favorite book, but I would be still be interested in checking out some of Ella Miles other books and seeing how the Maybe series ends.


Shannan – ☆☆☆
Kinsley Felton is the princess of the family. Her dad pays for her luxury condo and the closets get stocked full from the modeling gigs she does while she's going to college. The plan has always been that her father and grandfather would prearrange a marriage so her husband would be capable to run the family-owned casinos. After getting a little taste of making her own decisions for one night, she wants more, but when tragedy strikes, her soon to be husband is picked earlier than expected. Will she be able to go through with it?

I wasn't a fan of this one. I've loved other series by Ms. Miles, but this one just didn't catch my attention like the others. Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me.


Jacki – ☆☆☆
I am having a very hard time reviewing this book. It totally left me with that WTH?! feeling. Obviously, the cliffhanger was meant to, but it wasn't just that.

I want to give this 2 stars, but I'm giving it 3 because I know the next book will be a bit more detailed. This book felt like it was a partial book. I'm not sure I agree with how it just cut off, but I guess that's how you get people to get another book.

This one is too vague for me to give a proper review. You get introduced to the characters, but aren't given enough detail to really get a true understanding of them.

I know there is more to it, but I'll HAVE to get the next book to know, which kinda irritates me. I'll save my full judgement until after I read Maybe Never. I'm sure it has the answers to why Kinsley is the way she is, etc.

I'm not sure I'd recommend this book without a warning that it requires the next books to understand anything. Overall, it is promising and has a good start.
