So I went into this one blind really and I think that was a good choice. In true opposites attract type fashion, she is in law enforcement and he is a criminal. But, that wasn't always the case-he used to work for law enforcement as well. They are both incredibly smart and determined. Eva thought Dante was gone, but she never quite believed it. This was a great romantic suspense with the tension and twists you expect. There was a gap between when I read the first two books in the series and this one, but I was able to get back into it pretty quick! My biggest struggle was the pacing felt off at times. There were large sections where I just felt like the plot stalled. Overall, this was a great read and interesting addition to the Gravediggers series!
Though I liked the book, I made the decision at the time I finished not to review it on my site. Maybe in the future I will include it in a book list post or another article.
Great book. I highly enjoyed it. The Gravediggers series is captivating, and Say No More definitely fits that mold. IT terrifically rounds out the series.
I'm not going to lie I'm more of a character driven type of girl and if the characters annoy me everything in the book will annoy me. I don't know but the main characters weren't as great as the main characters from the previous two books and try as I might I couldn't like this book as much as the others and I'm still trying to understand why. I don't know if it was trilogy syndrome where sometimes the last book isn't as great as the others.
I felt like Say No More was too rushed and that's saying something because the precious books were fast paced too and I loved them.
Liliana Hart delivered with the action, she's a pro at it and I definitely have to say that I liked the action and danger life scenes more than when the characters talked. Suffice to say Say No More was an okay read for me.
Say No More is the third book in the Gravediggers series, which are all standalones but tells the individual story and romance of each member. These are men who are given second chances to work for a secret group that well catches the bad guys by every means possible.
Say No More centers in the ever suave and sexy Dante Malcolm who unlike his brothers in arms is not a soldier but led a double life before his fake death. A spy and a thief when he was with MI6, Dante now works for the Gravediggers and does secret side jobs for their ever mysterious but bitchy puppet master, Eve. He hates keeping secrets from the rest of the Gravediggers but he has no choice since they might really not accept him once they realize he happens to be a former thief. When his next assignment leads him back to the one thing he regrets leaving in his past life, Dante has a lot of things to atone for, not just from Liv but also from his brothers in arms. But first they need to get back what was stolen from the world and from Liv.
I really love this series, one because the premise of the story is really unique, two, Eve is becoming really, really interesting because evil puppet master must have her own past and three, each story has their own plot of basically saving the world by getting rid of bad guys by any means possible. Say No More also deals with a very heavy topic about white slavery and exploitation of children. This one hits really hard since its a very real and horrifying social issue that we still have no means of solving. So yeah to get some form of retribution in this book eases the ache somewhat.
Dante and Liv do have a past, so it's quite easy for the romance to progress in a short period of time. Both these characters are multidimensional and definitely have their own personality quite separate from each other. They do have a lot of very erotic sex scenes in the most unusual places but hey lets chalk it up to combustible sexual tension and adrenaline. Overall, Say No More will have readers turning the pages and asking for more of this series!
Say No More was a fantastic book !!! Liliana Hart is definately on my favourate authors list now !!
This was a lovely change from the books I've been into lately. The author certainly didn't disappoint.
Dante is good at his job, the one thing he just couldn't do was catch Simon. Though, when your one and the same, it's kind of hard to do so. Until the last heist finally did him in and Dante was gone. But for Eva, something just doesn't see right. Yes, she caught him. Yes, he's gone and cant do another heist. But for a man like him, Eva can't help but think......
Dante is now a gravedrigger. And no, his body isn't all messed up and creepy looking, he's not a zombie. He's still Dante....just now things are a little different. He has a boss who happens to be the only person who knows of his double life. No one else is aware he had two personalities. But right now he has a job he's wanted come to light. Is going out of the country, and back to a life he's pretty darn good at. But what happens when your run into her? The one person who could match you. Would she go crazy? Would he? Would the romance spark up? Or will Dante just do his job and that be the end of it?
Well let me tell you this book doesn't slow. You have twist when you least expect it. You'll remain on the edge of your seat until the very last word. The author is defiantly one to watch out for!
Dante, super agent or art thief, is the question. Liv has spent her life as an Interpol agent who tries to stop Simon Locke, aka Dante, her lover. Unbeknownst to Liz, Dante is the art thief she’s been searching for while also hunting for her twin sister, Elizabeth, who was kidnapped when they were six. When Liv realizes who Dante is, he must fake his own death. He ends up being trapped into helping with a group called the Gravediggers. Eventually he and Liv run into each other and have to work together in order to stop a truly awful monster of a man who has Liv’s sister. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat, and be hard to put down.
The third book in the Gravediggers series allows readers to learn more about the enigmatic Dante Malcolm and what he did before he died. Human trafficking and crime families are the backdrop. ARC from NetGalley. Review on GoodReads.
This is the third book in the series and they really need to be read in order to get the full picture.
Dante Malcolm has been arrogant, aloof, self centered and self impressed since we met him in previous books. Former MI6, he has lead a double life for many years, including his time with the Gravediggers. None of his teammates the wiser.
Liv is supposedly the love of his life that he gave up, without too much thought, to save his own hide. She is a detective with Interpol and the one to discover Dante’s alter ego. She was devastated when he “died.”
Dante and Liv’s history and relationship, along with excuses for his behavior, take up most of the book with the action/suspense of the story more of a backdrop. Dante did not do enough groveling or making up for his abominable behavior. Liz caved much too quickly and easily. I struggled to see them as a couple.
Eve Winters remains a stone cold evil woman. Her ability to know all is just plain creepy.
I liked reading the ongoing storylines of the couples from the first two books and their continuing developments. The scene in the dungeon needs better editing.
I wasn’t as involved or intrigued by this story as the first two. However, I anxiously await Axel’s story

Say No More
Gravediggers series book #3
Release Date: July 25, 2017
Review copy provided by the publisher
This series just keeps getting better and better! I loved the first two books, but this book was even better! Maybe I connected with the characters more...I'm not sure, really. It was just damn good!
This series is like James Bond, but with delicious sexy times and over the top alpha heroes. Dante leads a secret life that Liv is oblivious to. He's a spy, but he skates the edge of the law. When he's forced to leave Liv behind and join the Gravediggers, she's left heartbroken.
Liv is a kick buff heroine who can take care of herself. She's trying to make amends for a past tragedy from when she was a child. To do this, she'll take down any bad guy that gets in her way!
The chemistry between these two was palpable. Liv wants to hate him for what he did. Dante still wants her with a fiery passion. That whole love and hate thing makes the lust leap off of the pages!
I had so much fun going on this adventure with the hero and heroine. Liliana Hart is brilliant when it comes to twist and turns in a romantic suspense. Her writing keeps me on the edge of my seat from page one. I love the witty banter between the team mates. Miller Darling ( the romance writer from book two ) cracks me up! I could get lost in just reading the dialogue. I love it!
There's lots of emotion in this book. Both Dante and Liv are looking for redemption, even if they don't realize it. They come to realize that they're each other's other half. I didn't ugly cry in this book, but I definitely had all the feels.
This series is nothing short of incredible. The writing is outstanding. The characters make you care about them. I'm dying for Axel's book. His story is going to wreck me. Yay for ugly cries!
If you like books that have super sexy spies, adventure, and a lot of laughter...read this book! Read the series!
Say No More is a compelling read. Good solid plot elements. Enjoyed greatly!
Say No More is book three in the Gravediggers series and we are introduced to Dante and his secret past. I have to admit, I was very curious about Dante in the first two books, and I was excited to have an entire book dedicated to just him. Unfortunately, it was my least favorite of the three novels. Now don't get me wrong, I still really enjoyed it, but it was a little flat. Dante is definitely more arrogant than I was hoping and Eva was just bland.
The entire novel was fast paced and action packed, filled with suspense, romance, and deception. These are typically excellent qualities in a novel, but in Say No More, it all felt a bit rushed. I would have loved to get to know the characters more instead of reading chapter long intense sex scenes (ok I'm exaggerating, but still). I loved the typical gravdigger banter between the guys, and it was fun to hear from the ladies a little in the novel as well. I enjoyed this quick read and look forward to more from Hart in the future!
3.5
The final installment of the Gravediggers Series was my favorite by far. Say No More follows a little different format than the rest of the series. We open with a flashback as this second chance romance kicks off. This one is about the illusive Dante Malcolm. The British Gentleman with a penchant for the finer things, and an air of unmistakable cockiness. His counterpart Liv Rothschild has a bit of an issue with our hero, and what ensues is the typical dance of cat and mouse. The whole gang is present, and after a brief stint in Last Stop Texas, we travel to the dangerous world of sex trafficking.
Something has been off in this series for me since book one, but this one made the most sense to me. I didn't end the book with more questions than starting with, although I don't feel like this tied up the series any. I enjoyed the dynamic of the group, and I kinda liked this couple. He was arrogant and she held a grudge, but they couldn't fight their chemistry. Vile Eve was present in full view, which I enjoyed, I would have liked a bit more of her story. Elaine actually had me laughing out loud once or twice and in my opinion Elaine, the IA computer, stole the show. Intriguing concept with a lot of filler, but this one was an enjoyable read nonetheless.
4 to 4.5 Stars
I really love this series. In this book we get Dante's story. The debonair British hottie who also has a secret identity that not even his brothers of the Gravediggers know about.
We are also introduced to Liv in the beginning of the book, and her childhood story seriously broke my heart. But it made her the woman she was and gave her the strength she needed to make a difference in the world.
I loved Dante's connection with Liv, who was a member of Interpol. Needless to say, their current work situations made things a little tense between them, but the chemistry was there, and I was pulling for them the whole time.
Dante broke Liv's heart, but really he had no choice, so when they cross paths again, she is rightfully angry and hurt and confused, but that chemistry.....yep, still smoking hot!
I'm dying for Axel's story!!! Seriously hoping his will be next. And will we ever get the details of Eve Winter's life. She is cold-hearted and strictly business (in charge of the Gravediggers). Will someone come along to finally melt her heart? I hope so.
Like I said, love this series. If you are looking for a change from the same-old, same-old, this is for you!
Dante Malcolm is yet another reluctant member of the gravediggers team. His past is much more convoluted than some of the other members. He was once part of Britain’s Elite Intelligence Force and a thief. He played both parts for so long, dodging the bullets and potentially jail time while pretending to capture “himself”.
The time came when Liv Rothschild was finally able to get Simon Locke (aka Dante) but of course he slips through her fingers. He decides to jump off a building rather than get caught. He was witty and smart. While she knew she was good at her job, she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was still around.
This has to be my favorite of the series so far. I think I was wooed by Dante’s whole demeanor. He is so reminisce of a James Bond character. There is more than one side to him. He is more than a member of Britain’s M16 or the infamous international thief. He is a passionate and arrogant man as well.
The team doesn’t know about Dante Malcolm’s past. He makes sure to stay away from it and any details of his past. A new case is presented and Dante sneaks away but he runs into the one woman who can bring him down. The team is about the experience a shake-up as they become more involved in Dante’s life. They have to realize that while they didn’t ask to be a part of the gravediggers, they are and they all need to be upfront and honest with who they are.
Liv’s case to blow up a human trafficking ring leads her to a private island to work side by side with the man she could never catch. The two have to learn to trust one another. Liv’s painful past involving the disappearance of her sister adds a more realistic emotional aspect to the story.
There is a lot of drama, conflict, sexual tension and of course romance in this one. The author definitely found her way to perfectly infusing romance and suspense together in this addition. We slowly get to see some glimpses into the other secondary characters and even what is going on with past couples. I look forward to reading the next in the series.

Say No More is the third book of the Gravediggers series.
You can read it as a stand alone without problems. I didn`t know the previous books and I had no problems following the story.
This book was a fast read with the right amount of tension and love.
If you`ve a liking for mysterious hot badass guys who went into their next secret mission without much question ... - This is the right book for you. It´s a bit as if the Black Dagger Brotherhood meets James Bond.
I thoroughly enjoyed book 1 and 2 in the series. But this book? I'm afraid that it is as dull as ditch water. Nothing happens. Yes I know the plot has to be built and it is but they don't meet to at least the 55 % mark. I also found the plot to be somewhat predictable.
This book in the Gravediggers series revolves around Dante. A cocky, arrogant individual but I cannot help but like him. It has a lot of filler. Elaine is a hoot, the best part of the book. I look forward to book 4, hoping it is Axel's story.
This entire series has great potential, grab a few elite military guys, give them fake deaths and send them on missions for seven years. Crazy and weird but I like it. Each guy will have his own book first Deacon and Tess, then Elias and Miller, now Dante and Liv. Liv has a fascinating past that pushes her to excel in her career with Interpol. Dante grew up spoiled with a silver spoon but he needed danger and adrenaline. They reconnect on a mission with different goals but the adventure was a great ride. I do have a few issues with the actual mechanics of some situations just not being realistic, shackled feet and hands tied behind backs but fingers are touching intimate places just isn't possible from the details. Other places seem to jump ahead without explanation, a bit more editing could have made it more enjoyable. I received a copy through Netgalley.
