The steamy conclusion of C. L. Parker’s Monkey Business Trio
They have been rivals who fought until the bitter end and lovers who know every sensual inch of each other’s bodies. Now sports agents Cassidy Whalen and Shaw Matthews are about to become the one thing they never expected to be: parents. But this new dynamic to their relationship threatens to fizzle the sizzling desire that once held them in thrall to each other. If salvation is only a forbidden fantasy away, then Shaw and the woman he loves must embark on the adventure of their lives.
Cassidy is aching to reignite their connection. In steamy assignations in strange places, she and Shaw live out their most intimate desires—and reveal their deepest secrets. But as Shaw works overtime to sign a superstar athlete, a corporate reshuffling could be a game-changer. Can Cassidy and Shaw save their relationship and have it all—a career, family, and passion that never quits?
Coming Clean is intended for mature audiences.

Keenly Poignant!
This ending to this series is incredible! I was glued to the pages, as we follow Shaw and Cassidy into parenting and how work, life and children can effect your relationship. This was deeply emotional, heartbreaking and poignant as they work out their issues. Loved watching them realize the importance of living every moment with no regrets, loving passionately and taking the time to truly enjoy life with the ones you love. Fantastic, page turning storyline and some breathtakingly hot sexual, intimately erotic scenes as Shaw and Cassidy don't hold back to make their relationship strong and secure for a happily ever after. Loved it! So realistic!
Highly Recommended!
Received a complimentary copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Great ending for Shaw and Cassidy!
We finally have the conclusion to Shaw and Cassidy's story!!!! What I did not expect was for it to be so emotional. Book 2 left off where Shaw and Cassidy and just had their baby boy, Abraham Whalen Matthew, but we get a fun recap of the baby being born. Great comedy here! I laughed so much, especially at Shaw!
Now we fast forward three years to where life isn't all roses anymore for this couple. Shaw has gone on to great things at work, now that he is a partner, while Cassidy has stayed home to raise Abe. Cassidy loves staying home with Abe, but resents how Shaw always puts work first. After one final work interference Cassidy has had enough. She's leaving and taking Abe to Stonington, Maine to live with her family. This causes Shaw to finally take notice. Shaw finally agrees to counseling.
Dr. Jeremy Sparling was a hoot. It was fun seeing Shaw and Cassidy go through counseling. It was very apparent that these two love each other but have a lot of pent up frustrations that they each have been holding in. Then when Dr. Kayta Minkov was brought into the picture things got really interesting! ;)
Throughout the story Shaw and Cassidy had to deal with their issues head on. Until then, they couldn't truly be happy. Of course, by the end, these two end up happier than they ever were!
Overall this was a fun, hot and entertaining story that takes you through many emotions. I really enjoyed the ride these two went on and loved their happy ending!
Excellent
Loved this!! What a great way to close out the trilogy. This the third book in the trilogy that chronicles the journey of the relationship between Cassidy Whalen and Shaw Matthews and I recommend that you read all three in order.
This book picks up 3 years after Getting Rough. Shaw and Cassidy are still together but life is not as wonderful as they know it should be. All Cassidy knows is that she can no longer live this way. She would rather live without Shaw than with him without the passion and fun they used to share. Getting back to what they once had won't be easy but some things are worth fighting for!
This is a great, fun series that I would definitely recommend to everyone.
