New York Times bestselling author Jasinda Wilder presents the conclusion to Madame X’s erotic saga of discovery.
My name is Madame X.
My heart is torn in two.
And now I have to choose...
Caleb is everything to her: lover, caretaker, the man who gave her life meaning when she had none. But as she seeks the truth about herself and her past, she discovers that unravelling Caleb’s web of lies might very well be impossible.
Logan is everything she never knew she wanted: freedom, joy, and a passion she couldn’t anticipate. But is Logan’s love enough to save her from herself, from Caleb, and from the tumultuous truth of her past?
Caught between two equally compelling and seductive men, X must make the ultimate choice. But there’s more at stake than just her heart...

Exiled is the final book in the Madame X trilogy and it definitely doesn’t disappoint.
Exiled starts where Exposed left off. Wanting to keep this a spoiler free review I won’t goes into much more than that. I will say you do have your three main characters Isabel, Caleb and Logan and the same amount of twists and turns that were found in the first 2 books of the series. At this point in the story, Isabel has definitely made her decision and now it becomes a story about her discovery of who she is and how the 2 men in her life influence her choices.
Told completely from Isabel’s POV the feeling of experiencing the journey as she does is still the central theme of the story (similar to the previous 2 books). The reader does start to see things shift for her and how she thinks of Caleb and Logan in her head is profound and very telling. Ms. Wilder does a fantastic job taking you on the journey and clearly articulating Isabel’s thoughts and feelings. There is a lot of storytelling and exposition throughout the book and I was amazed how well the author kept me involved and entranced; I kept wanting to know more about the history of these characters. The ending does tie things up nicely – loved the payoff for the characters; however there is a small window of opportunity that maybe we haven’t seen the last of one of these fascinating characters. Not sure where Ms. Wilder is going with this but could be interesting.
Overall this was a fantastic conclusion to a series that I have had so much fun reading. If you have read the first 2 books in the series you know you have to read the third. If you are looking for a true series of books that you can read one right after another – then this is a great series for you.
