Beyond Famous
**New Adult HOLLYWOOD Romance - Book #3 in the Famous Novel Series**
Cade Carlisle and Brooklyn Halloway may be Hollywood’s "it" couple, but their feelings are the real deal. They should have a perfect life, but if shooting films on opposite sides of the world and constantly being stalked by the paparazzi wasn’t hard enough, the movie studio’s ruthless publicity machine is on the verge of ripping the lovers apart.
With Social media invading their private life faster than they can cross the street, rag mags spinning lie after lie, and ex-lovers trying to push them apart, it gets harder and harder for Cade and Brook to focus on each other and keep doubt and jealousy at bay.
When a ruse set up to promote one of their films goes wrong, Cade decides he’s had enough, and nothing, not even his superstar career, is worth losing the woman he loves. But Brook’s star is on the rise and she isn’t ready to risk her momentum in the industry by bringing their relationship out in the open. For the first time, their priorities collide.
In another of Kahlen Aymes’ heart-wrenching, explosive, and sexy conclusions, Cade and Brook have to decide if having it all is worth losing everything.

Kahlen Aymes finishes her Famous Trilogy with Finesse
I was absolutely thrilled to finally read the conclusion to Cade and Brook's story and Kahlen Aymes did not let me down. As with her previous two books in this series, Ms Aymes had me glued until the very end. It was simply magnificent.
Tears flowed, so have your tissues ready, laughter abounded and frustration came to the fore. Cade and Brook took me on a huge rollercoaster ride of emotion.
Cade is still fighting to allow his relationship with Brook to be made fully public, however Brook is still not to sure if this is a good idea. Here lies the crux of the story.
Separated over the summer, as they are working on two separate movies, Cade and Brook miss each other terribly. Phone calls, texts and a playlist of musc are all that they have to keep themsleves sane. But as usual, the media steps in and throws their lives into disarray. They desperatey miss each other, but the fact that they are working on opposite sides of the country does not help their situation. Stories in the media are blown out of proportion and brings their trust in each other into account.
Without giving too much away - the love is well and truly put to the test. A test that they just may not pass. Both are brought to tears when separating, for work, but there are also tears for another reason. Actions taken by the pair of them, may bring their relationship to the point of no return.
Once again Jeanne and Denise do everything in their power to keep the couple together. But sometimes not even this is enough. The two managers work as the go-betweens for the young couple, but even their help can lead to disaster.
A secret rendevous with a fellow cast member does not help the situation at all. Misunderstandings and arguements are not uncommon in this third book. But it is these misunderstandings that allow the young couple to flourish and come to realise just how deep their love is.
I thoroughly enjoyed this Trilogy. The fact that it was connected to Ryan and Julia's story makes it even more special. Kahlen has done a wonderful job with her writing. Every emotion is felt during their tale. It was simply a beautiful story of love, growth and understanding. Kahlen draws her reader into the story with her wonderful use of description and imagery. Her writing style is so easy to read. The story is hot and so are those glorious sex scenes.
I feel priviledged to have been given the opportunity to read this book prior to its release.
Definitely a FIVE STAR read.
I look forward to future stories from Ms Aymes.

I couldn't be happier with the way the Famous series ended. Beyond Famous has all the emotions, angst and fantastic hot love scenes you come to expect from Kahlen Aymes. Kahlen's writing just pulls you in and you feel every ounce of the love and passion as well as the pain. This book will make you laugh, cry, and fan yourself!
You know that things can't be smooth sailing for Cade and Brooke. Emotions are at an all-time high with Cade wanting to make their relationship public as well as the pending separation while they each film their new movies. Will they be able to handle the stress of the separation and the advances from costars or will they finally break? So much happens in this book.
Get comfortable, grab a box of tissues and be ready to stay glued to your eReader because Beyond Famous is a book you won't be able to put down.

Disappointed in the Epilogue as it really didn't look into the future and peak into what happens to them.

Ok ending to the series.
This was a HEA ending but I guess I was hoping for more. Maybe more fireworks? Maybe more commitment? Maybe a wedding? Maybe a baby?
The ending was just meh for me. I felt like the epilogue was really just another chapter. I feel like the epilogue could have been a year or so down the line.
We never got to see Brook wear her engagement ring out in public. We never got to see their relationship totally out in the open.
I'm a bit disappointed if I'm honest. Just not a great finish line to the series as I had hoped.

Amazing angst
Wow another brilliantly beautiful trilogy of love and angst from Kahlen. She sure knows how to get you all in a tizzy over these characters.
Cade and Brooklyn fall hard for one another, but so much gets in their way. What a journey, there’s is certainly a rollercoaster of emotions every step of the way.

I absolutely love Kahlen’s books... this one was different from anything I’ve read where it incorporated characters from previous books, into this one. I’m sorry it took me so long to read it! Don’t pass it up!

3.5-4 stars. The conclusion to Brook and Cade's story continues to be packed with angst, drama and feels. Brook's career is growing and Cade is already at the height of his. Their obstacle is how badly they want to be together, in public, without any backlash. Throw in conflicting filming schedules, paparazzi photo stalking and jealous exes or co-stars and it would give any couple serious doubts and concerns about the solidity of their relationship. Cade is willing to give it all up, but is Brook? How much can they take before enough is enough? I saw growth in Brook's character because she's still very much a young adult and observed Cade being pushed to his limits, because up until this point, Cade has been very tolerant and accepting. The ending worked really well for them and I've enjoyed Brook and Cade's journey.

I am gutted with this final instalment, I loved first 2 books and couldn't wait to see what happened and all i can ask is WTF HAPPENED? its repetitive, over use of repetitive sex, i mean i like sex in books, but this was over used and used as a focal point in the story and it ruins it, im so sick of the, we want to be together, we have to remain a secret, we are going to be apart, i cant do this being apart, sex sex and more repetitive sex and it continues throughout like this. It was predictable and nothing new and refreshing from the last books. Sad ending to what should have been an awesome trilogy.

Another awesome series/book from Kahlen Aymes. I can't express how sad I am that this is the last book of the series. A great story about love, friendship, family, heartbreak and dreams coming true.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the story, the writing, the characters, the chemistry between Cade and Brook but also this book took me on a huge rollercoaster ride of emotion.
I'm not spoiling the story, so read the plot or better yet, read the book. It's a great story.
Kudos to you Kahlen ❤️❤️

I was so excited to finally get the final book in this series. I really liked Brook and Cade’s story. I was hocked on this series since book one. Kahlen Aymes did not disappoint.
I was not prepared for my emotions to be all over the place. Brook and Cade have their struggles like any couple having to be apart and with their relationship still a secret. This pulled at my heart at times and was so happy they way it ended. Grab yourself some tissues and get ready for an emotional journey. I loved these characters and look forward to more oh Kahlen Aymes work.

I was excited to read this 3rd book. Brooklyn and Caden both grew up a bit. Brook was so focused on her career and at a point Cade was just sick of hiding. There were a 2 unanswered things that I still want to know answers too. Will there be a 4th book or a novella to answer them? The ending was great and I don't want to add any spoilers so I can't point out specifically the 2 things but I REALLY want to know!
I love these two and hope to see more of them!

This is the first series I've read by Kahlen Aymes and I'm now a big fan! Her books keep you glued to your kindle!!
Our story with Cade and Brook continues with the final book. They have such a rollercoaster relationship. Being famous isn't all it's cracked up to be when you are in a relationship and the world just wants to tear you down.
This whole series was wonderful!! I love a conclusion to a series when all the pieces of the puzzle finally come together!! Great series Kahlen Aymes!!

This love story just gets better and better. The story of just surpassing all. Even though the obstacles are minor and seem like they should be easy to overcome it goes to show the red tape that some must attempt to get through and all the separation's that are deliberately put in their path to keep them apart. Will they be able to survive all the hurdles until all the movies and promotions are complete? You will have to read to find out.

What a roller coaster of emotions! Cade and Brook's relationship has had more than a few twists and turns in their short 3 years together. They haven't lost their passion for each other and Kahlen Aymes does a wonderful job of bringing that passion to life. Sad that this is the last we will read about them and their story.

What an amazing ending to the romance of Cade and Brooklyn. There were so many obstacles which would try and come between them. No matter how much they tried there was always something that seemed to come in the way. But in the end will love conquer all? Kahlen Aymes is a truly incredible author.
