Alive: A Romantic Suspense Novel (The Soul Mates Book 3) Kindle Edition
Rebecca Monroe hasn’t had the best life, but since she escaped and started again with a new identity, she’s been working hard to be a normal college student and make something of herself. Turning her passion for dance into her dream job is nearly a reality, until someone from her past threatens it all and Rebecca finds herself on the run.
Jake Griggs has got it all. A loving family, a college education and more women than he knows what to do with. A bad case of mistaken identity threatens to blow his easy life wide open, until his brother Jonas sends him on a job to observe, report and protect a young woman he’s pledged to keep safe. There’s just one condition – Don’t get too close.
What should be a simple mission, turns into a roller coaster love story as both Jake and Rebecca realize that just because you’re existing, it doesn’t mean you are alive.
Alive is the third installment of the Soul Mates Series and if you loved the characters of the Soul Sisters Series from Hawkstown then this book will definitely set you on fire.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2017Format: KindleAlive by Victoria Johns stirs a perfect combination of emotions in the reader. I went from anxious, oh, how sweet, to tense believing we have a traitor, then back to tense. Finally, thinking I can’t believe how much I love Jake after he started out as such a hurtful jerk. Alive is the third book in the Soul Mates series. Alive is nicely written with strong, captivating central characters.
Jake Griggs is the member of a family of a family of biological, adoptive and foster siblings. Barbara and Harrison Griggs, Jake’s adoptive parents are people who have that unique type of devotion that allows them to take on children that need love and stability to turn their life around. Jake and his twin brother Jack are two of the recipients of that special love. However, Jake is often a mess in his personal life. When we meet him in Alive, he is waking up from a drunken night that ended with him sleeping with his twin’s girlfriend. What started as a hook-up due to mistaken identity but continued even though he knew what he was doing. Yes—Jake is a jerk and hates that he betrays his brother.
Rebecca Monroe is a young woman who only knows the dark side of life. Her parents are addicts of one kind or another and used her to pay off debt until one day the situation became life-threatening, and a savior came to her rescue with a new identity. She felt hopeful about this turn of events until her past comes back to threaten her. Jonas, Jake’s older brother, sends him to monitor Rebecca’s activities and evaluate if she is in trouble.
The characters in Alive are great. Jake does a lot of questionable things, but it is evident that his heart is with his family and close friends. I love the way Jake tries to protect Rebecca without getting physical. He doesn’t want to disappoint another member of his family. However, his attraction to Rebecca is stronger than he’s anything he has experienced with a woman and he doesn’t know how to interpret it. He’s doomed. He needs to decide if he will push Rebecca away or suffer Jonas’ wrath.
Rebecca is a strong, young woman who still dreams of a “normal” life despite a past that doesn’t give her a reason to hope. I love the feistiness of the character. She is a cautious woman who works to advance while planning for an escape if necessary. Rebecca has a soft, tender side that comes out around Jake and his family.
The support characters are interesting people that add to the story. They show a lot of the characters’ loyalty and devotion. I love the way Jake’s family accepts Rebecca into their fold and show her a kindness she hasn’t known in her life before them. These characters make an impression sufficient to build a need for me to read the other books in the series.
Before reading Alive, I only read another book by Victoria Johns that she wrote with Nikki Ashton. Ms. Johns is very good at building anticipation for the next page. My only small criticism is that a few times the author slips back to her British roots and pulls the reader out of the American setting. It isn’t a big problem just a little funny at times. The story of Rebecca and Jake wraps up nicely and raises questions about what is next for Jack. Whetting the appetite for the next book in the series. If you like a good romantic suspense story, I recommend Alive. Trust me it will keep you turning the page.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2017Format: KindleAlive is the third book The Soul Mate series, and Victoria Johns has delivered another winner. If you’ve enjoyed the prior books in the series, you’re guaranteed to love this one.
I was introduced to Victoria Johns through ‘I Wanna Get Laid by Kade’, which she wrote with Nikki Ashton. From there, I wanted more. Thus, I dived into The Soul Mate series. The first book, Survivor, was a wonderful read that left me wanting more. The second book, Deserved, was a different kind of wonderful and cemented my love for the series. Book three, Alive, has merely confirmed why I find myself excited when I see a Victoria Johns book on my Kindle.
Book three follows the story of one of the characters I came to love in book two, one of the wonderful twin set. As soon as I found out which character we would be following, I was all kinds of excited. I loved Jake so much in the prior book and couldn’t wait to get to know more about him, eager to see Jake in his entirety. He seemed like such a fun character, more complex than people seemed to believe.
At first, I was a little bit worried about his story. It started off with an event that left me questioning whether or not I would be able to fall in love with Jake in the way I had been hoping to. Fortunately, things started moving quickly and before I knew what was happening, I was a goner. I was pulled into Jake’s story, and I could not put the book down.
What really won me over, though, was the links in with book one. Our female lead takes us back to a character briefly introduced to us in book one, a character I was not expecting to see again. Through this, so many elements from the first book were brought back to our attention, taking us back to characters I had been missing. Whilst this book works perfectly fine as a standalone novel, you’ll have a much better appreciation for events if you’ve read the rest of the series. It’s not a necessity, but it does allow you to see the way things link together.
With a character I loved from book two and a surprise reappearance from book one, I quickly found myself lost in this story. The chemistry between the two characters was wonderful, and I found myself lost in their story. I felt as though things played out between them a bit quickly, and certain elements of the story were solved a bit too easily, but I was able to overlook these factors as I was so in love with the characters.
Honestly, this was a wonderful addition to the series and I’m so excited for book four. I didn’t realise book four was to be the last, and I’m now heartbroken at the knowledge I only have one more wonderful book left in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another fabulous read from Ms. Johns
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI think that Jake and Jack are my favourite of Victoria Johns' characters, and Victoria did not disappoint with this story. Jake is the cockiest of the twin brothers and lives up to expectations at the beginning of the story. He then does something beyond terrible and has to rethink his life - so with the help of Jonas, he sets off on a mission with a purpose. The story of Jake and Rebecca is not only full of suspense, but is sexy and heartwarming too. Victoria really lets us see into the minds of them and you soon become engrossed in their lives. Great story telling, sharp narrative and beautiful descriptive writing, pulls you in and makes you feel part of the story. Highly recommend this and the rest of the Soul Mates series.
