Surviving Jordan is book three in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. And just like the drink, these stories get keep getting better. I absolutely adore each couple, and each story is unique in itself, although sharing characters from previous books. The author weaves such a tantalising tale, it is hard to predict what readers may be blessed with next.

Ben and Jordan are quite the complex couple. Apart despite the exhausting attraction that ignites years before, and the flame has not once dwindled. The heat has only intensified over time. A dastardly secret keeps them apart, but for how long??

Their love was a thing of beauty. Their story beguiling and dangerous. Their journey long and arduous. Their strength immeasurable. Their bond unbreakable. Their ending, Everything. I loved this instalment and did not want it to end. A new amazing story to be added to the unforgettable list. 5 stars.

My favorite book in this series! I love how this author can pull me into the story with ease and make me feel as if I am part of the story. This is Ben and Jordan's story. Their story is full of romance, secrets and suspense. Their feelings for each other are real but when Ben starts backing off, Jordan questions if there is a future. Will Jordan move on or will the truth let them have their future? Great characters with great chemistry. I highly recommend this book.

This is the third book in the "Surving Series". I've read each one in order and I think it would be difficult to follow if you weren't aware of the continuing threads.

SURVIVING JORDAN gives us a few answers to questions that developed in the first two books. PHEW!!! I still have a few questions but am hoping that Steel gets his own story and everything becomes clear.

SURVIVING JORDAN is more suspense than romance. There is lots of action that propels one to quickly turn the pages to find out what is going to happen next. It kept me engaged in the story, even at times when it seemed to be "too much".

SURVIVING JORDAN features some fantastically strong women who can definitely kick some butt. The men and wen are written in equal strength and the story was an enjoyable read.

Surviving Jordan (Surviving Series Book 3)
By: Virginia Wine
5 out of 5 stars

The story Surviving Jordan (Surviving Series Book 3) by Virginia Wine is a romantic suspense book. This is a series that I have loved since reading the first story. There are moments in the book when I was turning pages to find out what would happen next and others when I could feel the passion that ignites. I loved reading about the characters of Benjamin Thomas Stone and Jordan Mitchell. These two have an attraction to each other. Benjamin has had to keep himself from crossing a line with her. He has kept himself distant. He has deep emotions for her. Are his feelings for a woman who will always be off-limits, forbidden? Read this book to find out what the future has in store for both Benjamin and Jordan. This is a story that flows smoothly and had me hooked from the very beginning. I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I love that the characters from the first two books are brought forward into this one. Benjamin and Jordan are characters that I grew to care more and more about with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. There are moments that warmed my heart and made me smile. Steamy scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise are included in this story. This is definitely a book and series I would highly recommend reading.

Surviving Jordan is the 3rd book in the Surviving Series by Virginia Wine. Each book focusses on a different couple but the main group of characters appear in all books and there is a progression of the storyline, so this series should be read in order to avoid any confusion and possible spoilers. I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed. The characters and the storylines are so well written, you will devour these books and be totally sucked in.
Surviving Jordan focusses on Ben (brother of Alex from Surviving The Storm) and Jordan, his boss. Ben and Jordan have both been head over heels in love with each other for over 10 years. Jordan is sick of waiting for Ben to do something about it and has decided to give up on him and move on. Unknown to Jordan, Ben’s father left him a letter when he died saying that Jordan was Ben and Alex’s sister. On seeing that Jordan was moving on Ben decides to get his father’s body exhumed to do a DNA test in the hope that his father may have been wrong.
So are Ben and Jordan actually siblings? Can either of them actually move on and put aside the strong feelings they have for each other? If they are not actually siblings, has Ben left it too late? Read this awesome book (and the 2 books that come before it) to find out. I promise that this series will not disappoint.

Surviving Jordan by Virginia Wine is the third and final book in her Surviving series and I could not get enough of this book. Falling under the romantic suspense genre, this book easily pulls you under it’s spell and doesn’t let go from beginning to end. Following the story of Benjamin Stone and Jordan Mitchell, the passion that brought these two together was palpable through my e-reader and made from some very steamy scenes. Benjamin, even though he can feel the pull to Jordan, he had to keep himself distanced from her. His emotions run too hard and fast for a women who he knows that he can’t have. Jordan on the other hand wants to cross every line to get to Benjamin, and be damn the rules. She can’t keep her mind or her hands off of him, and is willing to do anything to get him to break for her. Can these two find a way to get their happiness or will they have to be separated by those around them? Wine is a newer to me author, having only found her from this series and boy am I happy that I found her! If you are looking for a great author that will pull you into her writing style and in depth characters than this is an author, and series, that you need to pick up straight away. This book is a must read for all of my friends!

Surviving Jordan was a good 4 star read.

This is Jordan and Ben’s story. These two had chemistry when she first started working at the company but after Ben’s dad passed away a letter from his dad quickly changed the direction that Jordan and Ben were heading.

Jordan is confused as to why Ben has pulled back and gotten distant. She thought that they were both on the same page. Trying to move forward she pursues something with Steel, who due to work issues and concerns for her safety he had to pull back and cease a relationship with her.

When Ben gets some answers to his questions he realizes there is now nothing standing between him and Jordan any longer. Will he be able to get Jordan or is it too late? Can he finally get the HEA he is looking for with Jordan?

This is a good read and I really liked Jordan and Ben. All of the other secondary characters were great as well. We also get POV from Steel as well as he deals with some dangerous issues involving his men. He quickly grew on me and I hope we get to see his story soon. My heart went out to him and the choices he had to make to keep people safe. Virginia Wine has done another great job of pulling me right in with her writing.

I really enjoyed Ben & Jordan’s story. The only part that wish was a bit different is Jordan’s involvement with Steel, no matter how short it was. I didn’t mind her wanting to move on since Ben had become distant but I wish it was with someone not involved within their group.

Ben’s feelings for Jordan were so genuine and beautiful that it hurt me when he thought they couldn’t be together. I completely understood his reasoning, obviously, and I’m so glad that what he thought was true wasn’t really true in the end. Although I would like to know why Ben’s father thought what he did.

Jordan just wanted to be loved and cared for. She thought Ben felt that way but when he started growing distant, she couldn’t understand why. Then when important information was brought to light she understood where he was coming from but then she also wondered if this was going to be real.

All the suspense revolving around Steel’s group of men was very intriguing. Th s really added another wonderful element to the story.

I’m really hoping Steel will get his story. That man definitely deserves a happily ever after.

Surviving Jordan by Virginia Wine is book three of the Surviving Series. Due to content and language this book is suggested for readers 18+. It is suggested that you read the first two books first so you get the whole story.

From the moment Ben laid eyes on her, he’s known Jordan is the one he wants to be with. He just could never cross the line. Then Ben gets information that makes Jordan even more off limits than before. There is serious attraction between the two but Jordan can tell Ben is pulling away so to protect herself she does as well. Will these two find their way to each other or will Jordan always be forbidden to Ben?

What I enjoyed about this book is similar with the other books in the series. This book focuses on the main characters but the book also picked up the characters from previous books and ties them all in. It’s nice that they didn’t instantly just go to the background. I enjoyed reading the interactions between all the characters. There is so much tension and passion in this book it jumps off the page at you. It was a definite emotional rollercoaster but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Surviving Jordan (Surviving Series Book 3) by Virginia Wine​ is one incredible storyline that I loved. With romance and mystery, thrills and spills, danger and suspense, action and intrigue, it has it all and let's not forget evil. It is an amazing journey and the wonderful characters from the other books in this series star right along with them. The chemistry sizzles and is sweet and sexy that heats up the pages. It is a definite page turner.

Ben has been in love with her since the day he first saw her but what he learns turns his life upside down. It can’t be true, can it? Now he has to know or lose her forever.

Jordan doesn’t know what changed but her heart is being ripped in two. Why now? What made it change? When someone new walked into her life she believed she could move on. But even that was thrown away from her.

Steel had to walk away and in walking away he finally believed he had met his match.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series and I so hope that we get to read more of Steel. He is my man.

Surviving Jordan is the third book in Virginia Wine’s Surviving series. I think the whole series has been leading up to this! The writing is better than ever, the drama and suspense is more intense than ever … Yes, you can read it as a standalone but do yourself a favor and read the series in the order as we meet the everyone in each of the books so it really feels as if every book builds upon the previous one!
Surviving Jordan is the story of Benjamin Thomas Stone (Alex’ brother) and Jordan Mitchell. They had instant attraction and they acted upon it and then suddenly, after Ben’s father dies, Ben backs off … no explanations … no obvious reasons … simply … Jordan keeps pining for Ben and unbeknownst to her so does Ben … years pass and it is time, time to … move on … and who enters as the potential love interest for Jordan? Our friend Steele who has actually literally saved her life …
The writer gives us mystery, romance, action, secrets, emotions … it is one heck of a ride and I promise you, once you get on, you do not want to get off!

Surviving Jordan (Surviving Series Book 3)
By Virginia Wine
5 stars

What another fantastic read from this author! Just when I thought book 2 was my favourite from this series along comes book 3 and takes the top spot! I absolutely loved Surviving Jordan! It was filled with everything I love in a book from romance to mystery and it was outstandingly written! This author never fails to pull me in to her stories straight away and not let me back out until I have finished – and even then I still want to go back and read it all over again! I loved the intense passion and chemistry between Ben and Jordan! It was so clear to see how much Ben adored Jordan nut also I could see why Jordan wanted to protect herself. I did find myself rooting for them the whole way through the story; I really thought that they were perfect for each other! I really loved every minute of Ben and Jordan’s story.
I 100% recommend this book and this series and I can’t wait to read more from Ms Wine in the future.

Surviving Jordan is the third book in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. I know I said this about the previous instalment, but this story has become my favourite of the series so far. There is quite a lot going on in this book, so much to like- with action, suspense, some mystery, intrigue, longing, tension, secrets, drama, incredible chemistry, and of course romance.
Ms. Wine has created a complex story, full of interconnected details/characters/storylines. It is very cleverly done and adds an extra element of interest to the whole story/series.
The tension and suspense were built really well throughout this story and kept me avidly reading to discover what happens.
Ben And Jordan are fantastic characters, and I loved seeing Steel in the story too, as I started this series on Book four which is Steel’s story and then went back to the beginning of the series to read the rest of the books.
Now I can’t wait for the next book!

Thank you, Ms. Wine!

This is Ben and Jordan's story.This story had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next, this story is full of suspense, romance and secret's. These two definitely have chemistry but when Ben starts to back off how is Jordan supposed to take it? Jordan doesn't know if she should move on or what.What will happen when the truth is discovered? Can these two have a future together? Find out what happens next. I highly recommend reading this book,heck the whole series. I can't wait to read more from this Author.

Surviving Jordan is book 3 in the Surviving series. Ben and Jordan have had feelings for each other for years, but never acted on it. Steel is a man who can get things done, protects those he loves and does what is needed. In book 2, Steel saved Jordan from Graham. In this book, they begin spending time together even though Jordan still has feelings for Ben. When danger comes knocking on Steel's door, he pushes Jordan away. Will Ben be ready to act on his feelings? What is the danger that is knocking at Steel's door? This book does a good job at including the main characters from the other books. I would have liked a little less focus on Ben and Jordan and more of the story with Steel's situation. Other wise it was a good story.

Five Stars

Surviving Jordan is the third book in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. This series should be read in order because the characters overlap and also because the first two books are also excellent reads. This just may be my very favorite from Ms. Wine. This book hooked me from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. It is filled with action, suspense and romance. This is Jordan and Ben’s story and it had me rooting for a happily ever after, but I wasn’t quite sure I was going to get it. You will need to read it to find out. This book, series and author are definitely worth reading. I was thoroughly entertained and look forward to reading more that Ms. Wine has in store for us.

Surviving Jordan is the third book in the Surviving series, the third book I have read by this author and my third recommendation for this author. Surviving Jordan is a story about secrets, loyalty, honesty and love. This story also includes frustration, heartache, determination and even more love.

This book was full of it all. The emotions, the twists. I really enjoyed reading this story, well the whole series really. I love how even though this is a stand-alone, the characters from the first two books are involved in this story as well. I encourage you to read this entire series. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I have absolutely fallen in love with this series. Virginia Wine as a way of weaving an intricate web and pulls you right from the get go!

This is the story of Ben and Jordan. Ben's feelings for Jordan were so real and genuine but he always felt that she was forbidden for him to pursue. Jordan just wanted someone to care and love in life and when Ben starts to pull away, she starts questioning it all. This book has a whole lot of suspense and drama with all the feels mixed in between.

This has been an amazing series to read and I highly recommend this series for anyone who's ready to get sucked in an unputdownable series!

Surviving Jordan- Virginia Wine

5-stars

This book had me sitting on the edge of my seat from start to finish as I got so wrapped up in the story. This is the third book in the Surviving Series and my absolute favorite of this series and of these authors so far! I would highly suggest reading this series in order as each book follows the next.

I felt so invested in Ben, Jordan and Steel’s story that I read this book in record time as I couldn’t bring myself to put this book down. This story was action-packed, suspenseful, captivating, steamy, thrilling and so unbelievably entertaining.

I can’t wait to read book 4 to continue with this incredible series!

Book 3 in The Surviving Series

Ben has loved Jordan since he first set eyes on her, until his father told him something that would change everything. For Ben Jordan was the one. When Jordan feels that Ben is pulling away she can only assume he has no interest in her and so to protect her heart she pushes herself to move on. When Steel saved her life she was more than grateful even attracted to him. So, when Ben pulls away she sees that as an opportunity to move on. Steel usually doesn't let anyone get close but there was something about Jordan that intrigued him and so he let himself open to Jordan more than any other woman. His career doesn't allow him to get close to anyone, but with Jordan this was different.

Just when Steel and Jordan are getting close, he pushes her away too. Around the same time Ben gets news he was waiting for and now he can move forward.

What will happen with Ben and Jordan, will she find the love she so very much wants? Steel will he ever get his happily ever after? I ABSOLUTELY love this series!!! Please I beg, give this series chance you will not be disappointed!!

Surviving Jordan by Virginia Wine is the third book in the Surviving Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone but it would be advisable to read them in order to get the full level of detail.
For me this has been the best book of the series so far. It was interesting - full of secrets and intrigue. The author captured your attention effortlessly and immediately and keeps you immersed in the story all the way through.
I love how she develops her characters and the story, in both this book and the series. This is a brilliant series and one I would truly recommend.

I've come to realize that I enjoy Virginia Wine's writing style. I have fallen in love with her Surviving series, and let's just say that Surviving Jordan was not a disappointment. I fell in love with this storyline and the way in which it flowed. The author does a great job of developing characters that the readers can relate to and fall in love with. I loved their trials and tribulations, and where it led them to. I can't wait to see where else the author takes us to. This was definitely a 5 Star Review.

Virginia Wine gripped my interest once again with Surviving Jordan. This is book three in her Surviving Series. Her story telling is like a painting; with each stroke the brush the picture becomes clearer. Virginia will get to tell you everything but not until she is ready to do so. In Surviving Jordan, there is a secret Ben’s father kept to himself until his passing. Jordan was hired by Ben’s father and was off limits. Will Jordan become Ben’s lover or will Ben stay away from Jordan? These questions and more will be revealed in Surviving Jordan.

Surviving Jordan, by Virginia Wine, is the third book of the Surviving Series. This is another well written romantic suspense featuring Ben and Jordan's story. I really enjoyed seeing characters from the previous book(s) carried through into each subsequent book. It added additional depth and intrigue to the story/series. The author has expertly woven suspense in this story to make it more full. The emotions that are invoked in this story were beautifully done. Add in the chemistry and the story was truly divine.

Man this author really knows how to throw you curveballs in stories. I'm still stunned over what I just read. Jordan and Ben have a complicated relationship and it just got even more so. I can’t imagine holding myself back for 10 years. The author gave you so much in this short story. I really have enjoyed this series and this book made it even better.

Surviving Jordan by Virginia Wine is the third book in the Surviving Series. This book started with a twist and the suspense and mystery kept me guessing.

I loved Jordan! She is a strong woman who was fortunate enough to not have to deal with men who don't think she's worthy of her position.

Ben is a great and honorable guy. He deserves to be happy after all of the emotional torture he has put himself through.

This has been an amazing series to read and I highly recommend it.

I loved this incredible book. It has it all, romance, thrills, mystery, danger . The chemistry between the protagonists sizzles, sexy sweet heat radiating off the pages. Combustion ! Just plain sexy heat, satisfying, lusty, lovely. The intrigue, the evilness represented by Carrington and his henchman authenticity terrifying. Real page turner! Did I mention Steel? I adore him!

Immediately captivated, I cannot get enough of this book, series, and author. Intrigue, secrets, romance... this book has it all! The author does a masterful job developing the plot and characters throughout the series. This book stands well on its own but is best appreciated when read in series order. I was hooked on page one and couldn’t put it down until the last page was read. Loved it!

It has my emotions everywhere which in my opinion one of the best things about books. This is by far my favorite in the series and would recommend.
