I was so excited to read this book and oh my what a book it was! I was completely captivated from beginning to end. This book is the continuation of Darren’s and Luisa’s story so absolutely should be read after book 2. I was so intrigued by their story in book 1 and I had hoped to find out more about them in this book and I got that and more! They just had such a strong and intense relationship that at times make you wonder whether they should be together but deep down you know that they absolutely should. The detail the author uses in her writing makes you feel like you are right there in the story with these characters and living their live along with them. Her attention to everything in the story just aids with making her books such an absolute pleasure to read and I would not hesitate at all to recommend this series to anybody who is looking for a fantastic 5 star set of books!

Y. Fortuné – Review by Katie Matthews
Holy heartburn. This book has everything and is everything. Real and raw emotion. I literally felt the emotions climbing off the pages. I’m sitting in stunned silence not sure I will ever have adequate words to express my appreciation for this book and series. The story dual POV adds to the depth of the plot and allows you to relate fully to more than one main character. Just simply loved this book.

Y. Fortuné – Review by Heather Lovelace
Pandora’s Price by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné is the third book of the Hart & Cole series and the second part of Luisa and Darren’s story.
There were times while reading that I got dizzy with everything happening with everyone.
Darren isn’t a bad guy, he can be a controlling jerk at times but I don’t think he ever sets out to hurt anyone, especially his wife and children. But just because he doesn’t intend for it to happen it doesn’t mean that it won’t happen.
Luisa should have expressed her feelings on Nicole and everything else she kept buried a lot sooner than she did. That negative/hurt just kept feeding on itself and kept her from having a good, productive conversation and relationship with her husband.
I’m looking forward to the next book in the series and hope that one day Lee will get to tell his story. There is something deep within him that needs to come out.

Y. Fortuné – Review by Robin Rankin
Pandora’s Price was a 5+ star read and book three in the Hart & Cole series. I was pulled right into the story and I didn’t want it to end. I was emotionally exhausted by the time I was done.
This is Darren and Luisa’s story. This is a real story that is not sugar coated. You experience everything right along with them, right down to whether they will continue to stay married.
Can these two work it out before it’s too late?
I really wish I could give more to this review but I don’t want to ruin anything for the reader. Just have the kleenex ready. There is betrayal, love, trust, resentment and so much more. Sasha has done a terrific job of pulling you in with her writing and you feel every emotion right along with the characters. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story as well. I love this series, I highly suggest reading this series starting with book one, but definitely read book two before this one. I can’t wait to get my hands on book four.

Pandora’s Price (Hart & Cole Book 3) Sacha T. Y Fortune 5 out of 5 stars
If you are looking for a book series that plays on every human emotion you have then Sacha Fortune’s Hart & Cole series is the one for you. I was completely invested in these books from the very first one but this is a series that leaves you believing the next book couldn’t possibly be as good and then it exceeds all expectations. Sacha Fortune says it herself in a brief “disclaimer” before reading these books, “it isn’t a glossy love story.” Everything about this book, these characters, this series, is real, raw and emotional. I couldn’t even begin to compose a review that gives this story justice. The depth and character growth of Darren and Luisa alone are enough to earn this author a spot on my “must read” list. This book is not a standalone read, so if by chance you’re reading this without reading the first two books first, go back and devour them- they’re that good. Review by @fnbates
Pandora’s Price by Sacha T. Y. Fortune is the closing of Louisa and Darren’s story and the third book in her Hart & Cole series. Quoting the writer “This is NOT a glossy love story. But if you’re looking for a romance read that will rattle you… characters that will change you… and love that will last in your mind long after you’re finished… THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.” She hit the nail right on the head! It is not your usual off-the-mill love story! The writer drags you through ups and downs and twists and turns and you hate people and they you forgive them and then you get upset with them and then you fall so deeply in love with them that you are not able to fall out of love with them when they upset you again! As I said then this is the closing of Louisa and Darren’s story, we will live along with them and we are pushed to the point of the destruction! We stay with them when we all wonder if they are able to pull everything back together and whether they will find a way into a future while making the broken hearts whole again … Fortunately it is the end of the series as there is so much potential and quite a few characters that are screaming for their own stories and we already know who are next in the line!

Pandora’s Price (Hart & Cole Book 3) By Sacha Fortune
5-Stars
Pandora’s Price is the amazing third addition to this series. The novel continues to follow Luisa and Darren as the main characters as they continue to struggle with their marriage and infidelity. Sacha Fortune has done an amazing job in creating her characters. The storyline is also developed well and addictive. It was very difficult for me to put this novel down. I do believe that it is my favorite book of the series. Luisa really changed in this novel and I loved it. I highly recommend this books and the series. This novel cannot be read as a standalone and each of the books are addicting as well as their characters. I absolutely loved it!

Y. Fortuné – Review by Madison Degraffenreid
Pandora’s Price is Book 3 in the incredible Hart & Cole Series, these books really do need to be read in order for you completely understand our main characters Darren & Luisa back story and the journey they have taken through all three books in this series! This author has continued to blow me away with her incredible jam-packed storyline, in-depth real, relatable & raw characters that each stand strong on their own and even better together.
This book was once again raw & real and made you completely and utterly captivated from the start, you couldn’t put this book down until the very end. Then when you have finished the read, it sticks with you for hours later.
These books in this series, really do stand out from the rest, it’s emotional, raw and above all, it has incredible characters and an even better real & raw storyline that is utterly compelling from start to finish! I can’t wait to see where else she takes this series, I can already guarantee whatever this author writes it will be epic!

Y. Fortuné – Review by Chantelle Smith
Pandora’s Price (Hart & Cole Book 3) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné is an explosive continuation of the story so far. So be warned read the books in order. Everything is out on the table all the secrets and lies have come to a head and show that we are all caught up in our own thoughts of what happened that we sometimes need to take a step back and re-evaluate all that we have done and seen. When tragedy strikes the vultures come out and nothing and I mean nothing is off limits when you are in the spot light. But it takes a tragedy to show just what you have sometimes and what you will do to keep it. Privacy is no longer your own and all your dirty underwear is hanging on the line for all to see. I thought this was the end of the series but I was happily surprised to see that there is more.

In book 3 we get to learn more about Darren and Luisa in there life and marriage and although its not all sunshine and butterfly’s there story is beautiful and captivating.

The only bad part of this book was it ending!!!!! I highly recommend this series to readers and I would read in order!!!! I really hope this will not be the last book in the Hart and Cole series.

Fortune – Review By Stephanie Dulac
Pandora’s Price is the 3rd book in the fantastic Hart and Cole series by Sacha T Y Fortune. I have to say that this book has been, by far, my favourite of the 3 books so far. Starting from where the 2nd book Pandora’s Poison left off, this book had me totally gripped the whole way through. I really could not put this book down. There is so much angst and emotion that you cannot help but end up with matchsticks keeping your eyes open as you stayed up too late reading the night before as you just had to keep reading to see what happened next. This book gave me conflicting emotions. I still loved Darren and Kris and still hated Nicole with a passion. But whereas I hated both Luisa and Gianna in Pandora’s Poison, I found a lot more empathy for both of them in this book. I really felt sorry for Gianni on many occasions but there were also many times I really liked and admired him. This book has so many twists and turns. Just as you think you know where the story is going…boom! – you are taken in a new direction. In the words of the author herself ***Real emotion. Real life. Real love. This is NOT a glossy love story. But if you’re looking for a romance read that will rattle you… characters that will change you… and love that will last in your mind long after you’re finished… THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.***

This is the third book in this series, I highly suggest reading all books from the beginning to help enrich your enjoyment of this series. In this book we get to see what pushes Darren and Luisa’s marriage to the point of their destruction. Will they be able to pull every thing back together, make broken hearts whole again? I loved these characters but they did make me frustrated in parts with their action but they did make the story, they made it real for me as well. This is a must read!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There aren’t enough star ratings to give this book, this author, this series…5 stars just aren’t enough!!
I have been sitting here staring at my screen for no less than 10 minutes trying to figure out a way to review this book, I actually titled this review this morning and have had to walk away from it a few times. I just don’t have words to do this review justice and that makes me so so sad. I’ve gone back to my other reviews of the first 2 and feel like there’s still so much more to say. This author is Phenomenal…Brilliant in her storytelling. I kept trying to slow myself down because of many reasons, one I was so afraid all the time of what was going to happen, and two I just didn’t want it to end.
She transported me directly into this book, I was there, I watched all this happen and felt every single emotion that has ever been named, I even felt the texture of the walls of the different scenes. I don’t know how to explain how real this story felt and OMG the relationships in this whole series were Amazing but this book took a couple relationship to new heights, and I’m not even talking about romantic relationships…I am so in love with these people, A couple I liked a little earlier in the series then disliked them then ended with loving almost every one of them. What a ride this author has took me on in these books, and now to find out there’s another?
**faints**
MUST HAVE THESE ON MY BOOKSHELF, I want to read them again right now but wont until I get the physical copies of these in my hands… I have favorite authors, we all do, those authors that we just one click because of their name being on the cover, my list is broken up into a couple categories..This author and this series are on my favorites of all time list and I don’t care what I read in the future, how many more get added to those lists, this author and this series will always hold one of the top spots… I love everything about these books!
I pray this author comes to a signing close to me because I promise no matter what I’m doing I will be there, I have to meet her and tell her how very much I love her writing and her books! This in my opinion is a MUST READ series…Do not for any reason read this out of order…There are no ifs ands or buts, you will lose so much of this if you don’t read every one of them!

Y. Fortuné – Review by Debi Kircher
…Go big or go home… Darren gambled everything for love – for the woman he’s loved his entire adult life… and the only person he can never seem to truly understand.
Luisa can pinpoint exactly when the shift happened in their marriage – shortly after Darren hired his protégée Nicole on a whim… a ‘reckless decision’ that he never knew would cost him their marriage.
But what if she can get the love she so desperately needs… just not from her husband?
Told from both points of view, “Pandora’s Price” explores the forces that bring a marriage to its breaking point – vulnerability, mistrust and resentment – and seeks the redemption that can pull them back from the edge of destruction, and salvage everything in the face of crisis.
Book 3 culminates Darren’s & Luisa’s story, and ties up the first 3 Books of the series. Book 4 is coming in 2019.

I must preface this review with my absolute warning that you can’t truly appreciate this novel for all its glory if you haven’t read the first book in the Hart & Cole series, Climbing The Walls. Now here is why… Have you ever wanted to know what was going on in the minds of your friends or neighbors that were falling apart or going through a difficult time? (Or heck let’s just be honest, we can all be a bit snoopy sometimes and just want to know the juicy details because our lives get boring right?) Well Sacha T.Y. Fortune gives you a front row seat to this in her Hart and Cole books. Climbing The Walls hooked me and I have been addicted since. That was a debut novel!!
Fortune can really pour emotion onto a page, I felt it drip off the words as I read them, and often was right there with the characters. I loved every moment from the good to the bad and back again. Of course things continue to be interesting and there are more twists and turns than I had anticipated yet. I am highly anticipating book three, Pandora’s Price! I know I will be first in line to add it to my collection! Thanks for another great escape Ms. Fortune!

Y. Fortuné – Review by Liz Vrchota
Pandora’s Poison was a great 5 star read and book two in the Hart & Cole series. I was so excited to get my hands on this book and I wasn’t disappointed.
We continue the story from book one, which I highly suggest you read first. Darren and Luisa are working on some serious problems. Darren is trying to keep his family together but Luisa just isn’t convinced they can make it work. She has to make some choices that could help her in the long run but will they be the right ones?
Can they make things work or will they end up in divorce?
We get different POV’s which brings you into the story even more, you feel the emotions that they are each having. We see a lot more of Luisa in this book and we get some answers to her actions that caused their problems. Is Darren really the victim?
I really liked both characters although Darren at times rubbed me the wrong way, especially with the way he would talk to Luisa. My emotions were all over the place once again. Sacha T. Y. Fortuné pulled me right in and now I can’t wait for the next book in the series. Overall this is a great series that I highly suggest.
Pandora’s Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2) By Sacha T. Y. Fortune
Pandora’s Poison Hart and Cole book two by Sacha T.Y. Fortune. I really recommend that you read book one Climbing the Walls before you read this book. I enjoy reading books that contain POV and that’s what you will get with this book. The storyline In Pandoras Poison is just as good as Climbing the Walls. When reading this book, you very may well ask yourself how the relationship between Darren and Luisa work when their lives are complicated with lies and trust issues. Pandoras Poison may have you on somewhat of an emotional roller coaster. There is nothing to dislike about this book and I am pretty sure you are going to enjoy book 2 in this series.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné is not your everyday romance story. It is a very real, very emotional, very raw, very serious look at a marriage between perfectly normal and flawed people, with everyday problems. It is told in both POV’s which gives you an even better insight to their feelings and hopes and desires. As powerful and captivating as this story was I found that it was a bit slow for me. It is a long story and I wanted it to move forward a bit faster. I found myself getting frustrated because I wanted to know if the writing on the wall would be what I thought. I needed to know how things ended and I needed to know now. Soooooooooo……. I did the cardinal sin and jumped to the last few chapters. This compelling story is at times funny and yet serious, romantic and sexy and is full of sadness and anger. It is also testing the bounds of trust, loyalty and marriage. It shows the struggles and fights, the pain and hurt that all relationships go through and we know are hard work and sometimes you have to wonder if love is always enough.

Y. Fortuné – Review by Jenni Bishop
I remember when I read the first book in this series I thought this author is going to be brilliant and I was right! I loved the first book, which was the author’s debut novel, but this one was just outstanding. I was hypnotised by the authors words, so much so that once I started reading life around me couldn’t continue until I had finished! This is a continuation of the first book so it should be read after book 1. The story flowed so well and was effortless to read. Darren and Luisa had a story that was so detailed and complex that I was completely absorbed by it. I loved that it was told from both sides as well as I felt like I was able to understand them both so much better. I am so, so excited for book 3, I literally cannot wait to get my hands on it – I have this feeling that it is going to be an amazing read!!!

Pandora’s Poison (Hart & Cole Book 2) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
5+++++++ Stars
**Sigh**
Climbing the Walls was absolutely one of my favorite books of 2018 and this…Part 2 I can promise when 2019 ends Pandora’s Poison will be still one of my favorites for the year and I haven’t even gotten to part 3 yet….
This author has a way with her writing and the word that comes to mind first is hypnotizing, mesmerizing…I don’t know how she does it but every word draws me in and I just can not put it down. My first warning to you is…Do not even try picking this book up without first reading Climbing The Walls…It wont work, you don’t have the whole story and won’t be able to form a complete picture of what Darren and Luisa’s story is all about.
I loved this…I loved getting inside Darren and Luisa’s minds, and I’m so thankful this author gave us that opportunity instead of just getting one of them. Everything felt so so real, it isn’t a storybook it is a real life book where no matter what you have experienced in your life you can actually feel the emotions seeping in, and that is what I’ve come to realize with this author, when I pick her books up I need to be prepared to face reality and feel the emotions because that’s what she gives me.
Im completely invested in these people, all of them and can not even predict what is going to happen in Book 3, I have a feeling there will be a couple more POV’s involved and Im praying that some things Im worried about do not happen…I finish these books a complete mess and having books touch me in that way make for some of my favorites to date…I said this after reading Climbing The Walls and my thoughts haven’t changed…I will have this series sitting on my bookshelf and know that I will be reading them over and over again….
I don’t have to say how much I’m looking forward to reading Pandora’s Price even if the title scares me a bit I will be the first in line to open this book.

Y. Fortuné – Review by Debi Kircher
Darren forgave his wife – or tried to – years ago, but surviving the affair… even raising her lover’s child as his own… is an entirely different concept than actually having to deal with the man pushing his way back into their lives to seek his rightful place with the daughter he never knew…
…If that really is all that Gianni wants…
Luisa felt it the moment she finally met the formidable Nicole – the woman who had always crawled under her skin, long before she herself developed a dangerous attraction for a less complicated man than the granite bastard she married.
But, as this beautiful man once told her: there is always a choice…
Told from both points of view, “Pandora’s Poison” explores the forces that tear a marriage apart – infidelity, insecurity, and doubt… and brings to the fore the question faced in one’s darkest hour: Can you trust yourself?
Book 2 ends at Darren’s & Luisa’s turning point, and the rest of their story will be revealed in Book 3 “Pandora’s Price” (coming March 31, 2019).

No one said motherhood or marriage would be easy. But the high-powered job didn’t quite factor into the equation, nor did the attractive boss in dire need of a friendly shoulder to cry on…
CLIMBING THE WALLS
Kris fell, head over heels over hormones, for the damaged b*tch who became his power-woman sex-goddess wife.
All Nicole wants is to be a better mother, and a wife more worthy of the husband she loves with every fibre of her body, but she is constantly yanked away by her job and her overbearing boss Darren Hart.
But Darren has marital problems of his own – and, when he confides in her, Nicole realises just how easily a happy marriage can crumble.
…Can she keep her own from doing the same?
Told from both points of view, “Climbing The Walls” explores the fibres that hold a marriage together – love, trust, forgiveness… and of course, the earth-shattering sex that will not be denied.

Climbing the Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1) By Sacha T.Y. Fortune
Climbing the Walls is book one in the Hart and Cole series. I have to admit since I enjoyed this book, I did do a search for any other books by this author and found nothing. So, I am assuming this is Sacha’s debut book. If this is the case, then I would say we are in for an awesome series. Also make sure you have plenty of time to read Climbing the Walls as you are not going to want to put it once you have started. If you are like me this book is likely to take you on an emotional roller coaster of a ride, but a ride you are going to love, trust me. Personally, I think you are going to absolutely love the main characters, they have their own strengths, but they also have their own flaws as well. So, all I can say is grab this book and have a read, I promise you will not be disappointed. Well done Sacha a brilliant start to the series.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1) by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
5 OMG, deserves so many more Stars *********************** I finished this masterpiece yesterday evening, I read the whole book yesterday, I just couldn’t stop, I needed to stop to do normal everyday life things but ended up not doing the laundry that needed to be done and having to explain to the hubby that dinner was whatever he found in the fridge because I was a total and complete wreck during this book and for about an hour afterwards. So now here I sit trying to figure out a way to put down in words just what I thought of this story!
When I first decided to read it it was the cover that drew me in, then it was the reviews that were already coming in, then it was the words this author so brilliantly wove together…I can honestly and truthfully with no doubts say that I’ve got many favorites for this year so far but this one went right to the top of that list in record speed. I was scared when I saw how long the book was and normally I would end up doing some skimming but that did not happen, I savored every single word, every single emotion, every single thought and action that took place within the pages of this story. There were parts I didn’t like but those parts made up the whole of the book and without them it wouldn’t have felt as real.
There is no way to sum up this story because it would be like summing up everyday life and that’s just not possible…This author took me on a journey through real life and everything that comes with that. I am just in awe at how perfectly everything just worked and I truly felt every single word..My heart hurt, I smiled, I got so angry I wanted to hit something, I cried and I forgave things I never thought I would, I have become completely and totally emotionally invested in these people..All of them and I want more, I can not wait for the next part.
This is one of those stories that having it sit on your kindle is just not enough, I will wait for the series to end and have the entire collection on my bookshelf where my all time favorites live.

Y. Fortuné – Review by Debi Kircher
This was a fantastic read and one that I couldn’t put down at all. The author wrote this book in such a way that I honestly felt I was a part of Kris and Nicole’s story. I could feel everything that they did, all the raw emotion that they felt towards each other. I think she depicted some aspects of some marriages really well and it felt like I was reading a real story at times. I really liked Kris, I thought that he was such a loving husband and there were times I really felt for him, Nicole was a character I did struggle to connect with at times. There were some good unpredictable twists in the story that I certainly didn’t see coming or expect at all! Climbing The Walls is the author’s debut novel and I definitely think that she should be very proud of it. I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series and reading more about the characters.

Y. Fortuné – Review by Katie Matthews
I am so thrilled that I picked up this gem over the weekend! I was in desperate need of something to shake off a bad book hangover I was having. I had just read and finished a great novel and I had a whole evening ahead of me and nothing was working out for me on my kindle. (Not that I don’t have a million TBR LOL) Then… ‘Climbing the Walls’ fell into my hands and I consumed it in one sitting! (Well past 3 AM) I adored it! Sacha TY Fortune was a new author to me as well, so even more outstanding for an introduction to a new author!
This one has it all. Some angst, hot steamy love, laughter, drama, a magnitude of emotions, and so much more. I loved how it was one of those novels you felt like you were right there and witnessing these lives of the main characters happening. They become real to you and you become invested in them.
Our MC’s in this one are Kris and Nicole Gellar. Niccole, Nicole, Nicole… I had a love hate relationship with her. I admired her ability to embrace her b#tc*y self. We all have our moments as women. I could connect with some of hers. Sometimes it got to be a bit much though. She wants to be the best at everything; her job, motherhood, being a wife. She just has a terrible way of balancing everything. She wants to be the best at everything; her job, motherhood, being a wife. She just has a terrible way of balancing everything. Her boss at work’s personal life is starting to crumble and that is giving her a new perspective on things. Can it help her marriage?
Kris is her adoring husband, I liked him pretty much throughout the book. He loves his family, and it shows in everything he does. He has a lot of self-doubt though. And lacks in the communication department. Their two children are adorable too, especially the daughter. She reminded me of my kiddo, too smart for her age. I can’t wait for the next book!

Y. Fortune ~ Review by Liz Vrchota
Climbing The Walls was a page turning 5 star read and the first book in the Hart & Cole series. Once I started I didn’t want to stop.
We get alternating POV between Kris and Nicole who have been married for about eight years. Nicole is a workaholic that doesn’t have much of a relationship with her children. Kris loves Nicole despite how certain people feel about her in his life. They make it work and have two beautiful children. I love their kids they pulled me right in and tugged at my heart strings.
When Nicole’s boss starts having marital problems, things start to shift for Nicole and Kris as well. Are they as happy as they portray to their friends and family? There is so much more to this emotional rollercoaster of a read. There is so much going on that it causes questions to come up and not so great assumptions at times. There was a huge unexpected and disappointing twist. I didn’t see it coming and it left me shattered. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story, some I liked some I didn’t.
Sacha T. Y. Fortuné does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing. There isn’t a cliffhanger but I didn’t feel like it ended in a good place for me. I’m hoping to see more from these two and get some answers. I can’t wait to start book two in the series.
