Undone
Many would think that being adopted into the one of the world’s wealthiest families would have made things easier for Sophie Holbrook-Grayson. But wealth and privilege cannot erase the deep-seated scars etched on her soul. Haunted by the horrifying events of her childhood, Sophie’s life begins to spiral out of control leading her down a path of self-destruction that she doesn't know how to escape from. When she meets Roan Westport again—her one time almost step brother her world comes a screeching halt and she is startled to realize how attracted she is to him. Sophie proposes sex, but Roan wants something far more valuable.
Roan Westport didn't even realize he was going through the motions, barely living until he met Sophie again. The chemistry between them is undeniably intense, but there are far deeper issues at play then Sophie lets on and the closer he gets to her the further away she pushes him. When Roan finally sees the extent of Sophie’s scars, will he be strong enough to stay and help her or is Sophie far too gone to ever be loved?

Now look here Francette! What the hell kind of cruel s**t you just did to me? Huh?
Girl I hope that was some bad joke awful ending. Or is there like a part 4 and a resurrection? Must be. I will be looking for it.
But right now, I'm very WTFFFFFFF.
As always, your writing is superb. I would have given the book 5 stars but why Francette why????
I still love you.

What the fuck is that ending?! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
I liked the book, but not as much as the first two novels in the series. Maybe because I was really a fan of the Nicholas-Ellie loveteam but well there's nothing more to tell about them except for the se..ahem..I mean the steamy scenes. They pretty had a good relationship by the end of book 2.
Undone was a decent read though there are some inconsistencies in the story like Noah's age. At the epilogue of Redemption which supposedly happened four years after the story of book two, Ellie is said to be pregnant with Noah. Sophie at this time is about 16 years old given that she is said to be 12 at the start of the novel. But then in Undone Sophie is 20 when Noah is said to be 7. And I was like, isn't the kid supposed to be only 4 or 5?? But since Noah doesn't really have much importance to the story, I decided to let it go.
Back to Sophie. I agree with the other reviews that Sophie and Roan's story developed kinda slowly. It's already in the middle of the story when they've met. Maybe the reason for this is because Undone is really about Sophie instead of it being about Sophie and Roan?? I don't know but the whole fiasco about Andrew was too long for my taste. And what's worse is after causing a lot of trouble the douchebag just unceremoniously....died.
And yeah. Sophie also died. I still can't wrap my mind around this fact. Well I am not one to say that the author sucks for giving this kind of ending but Sophie's death was just too abrupt. It was like the author just wanted it to end.
And Matt. Like Andrew he also died. Okay I really want the freaking asshole to die. After 2 novels, he's still the main antagonist in the series but still his death was too easy. I thought he said that for years and years he planned for his move. This well crafted move which was supposed to finally bend Nicky to his will and get rid of Ellie but then BOOM! he's dead. Just like that. End of story for Matthew Bates. It caused Sophie her life though, which totally sucks.
Oh and what happened to Roan? There was a scene before the burial that stated that he has a gun. For a second I was afraid he will commit suicide which is kinda ironic since he was the one helping Sophie to avoid the same thing. The ending was like the author wanting to just give closure to Nicky and Ellie's past. She achieved it, though.
Sophie died, everyone was devastated, they decided to move on. Period. Everything happened too friggin' fast!
Sorry to ask but is it true that there's a fourth book to the series?? because if there really is, I can say that i'm already dying for its release!! I really wanna know what happens next to the Grayson brood and of course to Roan after their little monster's death.

CONTAINS SPOILERS
Compared to the other books in this series, I thought Undone was seriously lacking. My rating isn't because of the shit ending, even though I didn't like it i'm not going to solely rate a book 1 star because I didn't want it to happen or because it made me really sad. I don't really think thats fair. I felt like this book was below mediocre, that the author was lazy or something and could've made it much, much better. There's so many things that weren't adding up.
Okay, so this little point isn't that important, seeing as Noah wasn't that important to the story, but I found some iconsistencies on his age. In Redemption, Ellie's pregnant with him 4 years after she and Nicholas get back together. By then Sophie's 16. And in Undone Sophie's 20 years old, making Noah about 3 years old, minus the approximate 1 year of pregnancy. So then why's he apparently 7 years old in this book? Makes no sense at all. But then again, it's not even that important.
But what is important, is all the stupidity in this book. Let's start off with Matthew Bates. What a freaking dumbass. I don't understand why the hell he would send in somebody with such a huge criminal history, knowing that Nicholas could have a background check on the guy. It's so easy for Nicholas to find stuff, and Matthew said himself not to underestimate him, but didn't he just do the exact same thing? Yeah sure you got the guy another social security number, died his hair and gave him a new name, but so what!? This is Nicholas Grayson we're talking about here. Nothing gets passed him. What a stupid move. And then Matthew starts to blame Julian for getting caught?! How the hell is it his fault that Nicholas did a background check on him? Yeah sure, he enticed it by giving off bad vibes and that cryptic phone call, but seriously?! Nicholas would've done a background check regardless. I thought spending all that time in the Asylum, Matthew could've came up with a full proof plan. We're made to think he's cunning with all his money and his plans, but really, he's not at all.
I don't think anybody wanted to read about Matthew Bates in the first place. His whole story was done in the first freaking book, so why bring him back? It's so predictable. Why not introduce somebody else? Sure it would take up a few more pages, but isn't it worth it? God, and Matthew even has the same goals as back then. You would think after about 20 years his mindset would change and he'd get over Nicholas and move on. I don't get why he still want's Nicholas by his side. Get over him. He's so delusional. His whole coming back is stupid, honestly.
I was seriously up for giving this book 2 stars, maybe even 3. But then I realized all the ridiculously stupid things Nicholas did in this book. You know Nicholas. I know Nicholas. The author knows Nicholas. So then why make him do things that he would never do? He's a fierce protector of his family, but some of his actions in the book were seriously questionable. First of all, why why why why why DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT MATTHEW BATES IS OUT OF THE ASYLUM?! It's just not fricking plausable that he forgot about him in there and didn't check up on him. Nicholas hates the man and damned him in there for all of eternity, and I just don't think it's possible for Nicholas to just not realize he's gone because This is Nicholas Grayson we're talking about here. And also, when he receives the severed arm, everything turns to chaos...but he still has his birthday party a few days later. I'm sorry, but thats just dumb! You know there's a threat out there, you know it's Matthew Bates and you know what he's capable of, but you still have your birthday party a few days later. It's a great time and place for Matthew to just swoop in and kill off your family, so why don't you realize that, Nicholas? Even with his security team there's still a threat. Once again, this is Nicholas freaking Grayson we're talking about he wouldn't just do something idiotic like this. When Matt disguised as an old man stands up, and Nicholas doesn't recognize him, why doesn't he immediatly take action or something? It's so suspicious that there's somebody he doesn't recognize at his birthday party. And don't give me that "oh I just don't remember you" bullshit. This is Nicholas Grayson. Who does he forget?
There's some parts at the end that really bothered me. First of all, when Sophie starts walking towards Matt, Ellie, and Nicholas, why doesn't Nicholas try to hold her back? He knows she's trying to sacrifice herself, and I would think he would want to save everyone in his family, so why doesn't he stop her from proceeding forward? Did he actually not care, in those moments was he okay with her dying just so Ellie could stay alive? "Sophie concentrated on her mom's face and she did not stop when the man withdrew the gun from her mouth or allowed her to run to Nicholas, who enveloped her in a fierce hug that brought tears to Sophie's eyes." Oh, is she tearing up because her mom and dad are hugging each other and paying no attention to the daughter that's about to off herself for them? Please do your hugging and kissing later and first try to protect the daughter that's standing there, waiting to be shot. It seemed like they were oblivious to her, and I'm sure they completely weren't, but still. If they're this all loving family, then Nicholas should've stopped Sophie from coming any closer (or at least put himself in front of her), and Ellie should've ran to her instead of her husband.
The ending was so rushed. We're nonchalantly told that Matthews dead. Roan's broken hearted, and I could talk about his relationship with Ellie, but honestly once I realized I didn't like this book at all, I skipped through most of their parts together. All in all, this was such a dissapointing book to me. The first two in the series I devoured, but this one was less than subpar. It could've been ten times more better. How is this the same author who wrote Beautiful Disaster and Redemption? I don't buy anything this book is selling. I want to pretend it never even happened, not because the ending is sad, but because the characters (namely Nicholas) were lacking and there were a ton of inconsistencies.

I have spent the past three days immersed within the world of Nicholas Grayson and Ellie Holbrook and I have to say, by the time I opened up Undone, I wasn't sure of what I would be getting. From the beginning of this series, I immediately understood that this journey would be filled with heartache and pain but I wasn't quite ready for all of it to come to such a paramount in Undone. This story, more so than the previous two, resonated with me the most. Sophie's debilitating pain, her lost heart ,her woeful journey...it was just so visceral, so in your face. It was what I loved about this story- about this series. Ms. Phal wasn't afraid to pull the punches, especially with her characters. Sophie's strength even in her darkest moment(s) was what shone the brightest for me.That alone renders this story the five stars.
Without a doubt, this has been one of the best stories I've read in quite a long time. I have a feeling that I'll be returning to this series for weeks, months, years to come.
Phenomenal read!

WTF ?!?!?!
WHY????
What the purpose for this one? It's not that the end bothered me (to me it would have been even more powerful without Sophie melancholia ) , it's just that i do not see the point of this volum.
And again, there were many scenes that served not purpose.

To start off I really enjoyed the first two books. Its really my first time reading this genre and although I found it a little cheesy and confusing, I couldn't for the life in me put the books down.
It had me crying, smiling and laughing with joy and blushing quite alot.
Undone left me unsatisfied. Like having a piece of cake and someone taking it from you. It took too long for the plot to unravel, some parts left me utterly confused, like Noah's age and the part where Sophie is talking to her Nana. Some parts had me cringing, like the depression Sophie is suffering from, although I could understand from reading book two, I'm a bit confused as to why she feels like this, she and Nicholas share a bond so unbreakable that she remembered him from the age of two, he proved himself to her just how much he loves her yet she doubted him. She has this huge loving family that I envy, but yet she's drowning in this self pity and depression. It just seemed unnecessary.
This book seemed a little half assed, with unnecessary scenes, and not enough insight. I would have liked to know a little more as to what Matt was planning, a little more of Andrew/Julians background, I was a little curious as to how Sophies family reacted to the attempted suicide (I'm not sick or anything just wondering why Fran would add it without any insight).
The ending, well what can I say? I was gutted, disappointed and heart broken. I can't tell if it was a cliffhanger or an attempt to get this series over and done with, like I said before it took too long to unravel and left me frustrated to no end. It ended abruptly and a little too soon for me.
I'm not sure how I would feel if there was a fourth book, although I would like to know how the family got passed this huge hurdle, I want to know what happens with Roan and maybe Dylan, in the books we don't really see much of Dylan like we do the rest of the family and would be nice to see what happens with him.
Overall, I did enjoy reading about the family again to see how the kids have grown up but, as the other two wouldn't allow me to put them down and left me without sleep, this one was put down quite often and left me with a full nights sleep.

*GASPS, attempts to stifle body wracking, shrill sobs by stuffing my fist in my mouth, but muffled sobs still escape*Why? Why would you Fran? HOW COULD YOU!?! This senseless devastation that is ripping itself through my core, this unrelenting pain tearing my heart in two, YOU caused this Fran! *Commences to fall in a terrible sadness that consists of absolute and utter despair, and I just let it out, let the ugly cry rend its way from my throat*
Holy shit, just rip my heart from my chest and leave me in the fetal position, sucking my thumb, rocking back and forth with tears coursing down my face in rivers and soaking my tshirt collar.At the end of Redemption I breathed a sigh, a happy and content sigh, unknowingly I had been holding my breath until that perfect moment of closure. Beautiful Disaster left me at such a cliffhanger and Redemption was the balm that soothed the insanity. When I began Undone I was excited to start Sophie's story, excited to continue the Beautiful Disaster saga through Ellie's daughter Sophie and her story. This storyline however did not go as I planned, actually nothing about thisdamn third book went planned!I am unsure where Francette Phal is taking me now, but I will follow her to the depths of hell and to the ends of earth, but Francette you have to take this pain AWAY! SOON!!!! I can't take this freaking shit much longer!! I have really nothing else to say at this point, I am so confused and heartbroken that I am literally at a loss for any damn words. I must give Undone 10 -dammit what in the hell, this story is so wrong it's right-Kimmi Star's ★★★★★★★★★★- See more at:

I don't know what to say... First, I would like to express from the bottom of my heart that I hated the ending to this story! I loved the first two books because I believed in Nicholas and Ellie's love. Their daughter Sophie was a tragic tell. She endured too much in her young life. Without giving away the ending, I felt hurt and betrayed that this story even happened with the same characters coming back and getting passed Nicholas' security! There was no HEA. Just life goes on. The story will pull you in. The heat was excellent between Roan and Sophie. I just hated the ending!

I am officially lost for words. Love this series. There was never a dull moment and your heart was constantly aching, I'm surprised I didn't have a heart attack from all my nervous breakdowns. I cried, fell in love, smiled big ol cheesy smiles, got pissed, hated the world, and broke down from sorrow. What. The. Hell. Wow! Amazing.
Can't wait for book 4. Please don't make us wait too long. My heart can't take much more. LOVE this series!

Love to hate or hate to love. Is it you or some other reason. Nothing goes according to anyone's plan. It's hot, sexy, scary and heartbreaking. If you don't need tissues then I have to wander. This series in my opinion is one of growth of characters.

I did not know that there was supposed to be a third installment to this series. I loved the first two, so imagine my excitement when I found this book.
However... I did not understand the purpose of it.
Why bring it up and make it into something beautiful then tear it all down?

Well� that was extremely painful and i just finished sobbing. Thanks for the pain.
Honestly this is even more pain because there isn’t a forth book. There isn’t a next book that says “AHA I got you! Happy april fools.� This book was published in 2013. That was 11 years ago.
*SPOILERS*
Sophie dying was unnecessary. My poor child barely had a happy ending before she died. This is the evilest shit you could have written.
YOU COULDA KILLED GABE. Love you to bits gabe but you were already shot.
Honestly tho if Nicholas jumped in front of the gun that would have been fine. Truly. Man has plot armor, he survived one bullet once he can do it again.
God, this was just so cruel. She was just finding happiness.

Ok, so where do I begin. Gosh! Even though i knew the ending (thanks to a few reviewers that let that big spoiler out), my heart still ached. I cried like I haven’t cried in a long time. This book was actually my favorite from all three. From how it was beautifully written (as well as with way fewer typos, compared to the two previous ones) to the story line.
I seriously hope there is another book coming since there wasn’t “The End� words at the last page.
Even with such a sad ending on this book, I really enjoyed reading it. Francette Phal has become one of my favorite writers and I look forward to enjoy more of her work.

Why ??? Really why you did this ?
I would’ve been less devastated had it been Ellie,
But Sophie can’t die ! She’s young and has been depressed for a very long time; more than half her life. First because she wanted Nicholas, then more deep after the kidnapping.
You can say her age is few months not 20 years.
And what about Roan ? What the hell happens to him ?
About the writing,
the ending could’ve been better- even with the tragedy- if it was more detailed.
Everything happened so fast in just 10 or so pages.
C’mon, we lived with Sophie since she was 3 she can’t die that easy.

This was my favourite of the trilogy but I felt like the story was a bit rushed at the end. I would have liked to see the last few chapters explored and delved into more.
It was great to see the authors writing improve with each book.

I’m proud to say that I’ve never given a book two stars, because I don’t want to be cruel, but this book really tempted me.
