5 OH MY GLOB STARS!!
BEST. BOOK. YET! LK Farlow didnt mess around when she wrote this amazing crossover with Colton and Ashley’s story. All the swoony feels that just twisted up all my heart strings!!! Like I want to read this book for the first time all over again and cry my eye balls out type of story. LK Farlow totally killed it with another unputdownable read. I shed all the tears for Ashley, Colton and that sweetie Cruz! Happy tears, swoony tears, angry tears and sad ones too… all of them for Rebel Desire. Total must read and top recommended of this year!
Ashley is a photographer and she is at a wedding taking pictures when she sees a man who she is instantly attracted to with butterflies and all. He then opens his mouth and Colton is a rigid jerk. But than Ashley needs help from Colton who is a lawyer to help her with a crazy client. He refuses to help her but she will not give up. He finally gives in and helps her. Colton finds out he is a father of a son Cruz. Cruz doesn’t talk but he and Ashley instantly have a connection. Can Colton get over himself and admit there is something going on with Ashley ? Great characters and storyline. Highly recommended. Absolutely love this book it’s amazing.
This is the next book in the Rebel Love series. It is a standalone and although the story refers to characters from the other books, it’s not necessary to have their background for this.
I was laughing two chapters into this book. By chapter five, I was totally in love with Ashley and her antics. Not one to take no for an answer or be pushed away easily, she needs Colton’s help. His professional help, although she wouldn’t mind some personal thrown int there too.
Colton is NOT impressed by Ashley, her business sense, or concerned for her need for help. Could it be that he’s actually intrigued and that is throwing him off his game? He’s orderly and plans…Ashley, not so much. Her purple hair is proof of that, right?
But then he life gets turned upside down and he realizes he needs her. Maybe they can be friends. That’s all it can be. No tangling with the clients.
And the real gem and star of this book isn’t even the main characters.
Rebel Desire…. Oh the feels! I felt what the characters were feeling, I felt for them. The hurt, the happiness, the wanting, the love and the lust.
“Then again, meeting the—albeit, unknowing— love of your life and having him hate you on sight tends to put a damper on things. Story of my freaking life.” – Ashley
Ashley knew from the moment her eyes landed on Colton that he was the one, her soulmate. Unfortunately, Colton can be an ass. Colton pushes Ashley away from the start but she never gives up. No only is she an amazing photographer, knows what or who she wants, but she is so kind and has enough love to share.
That love extends to a little boy who definitely needs and deserves all the love in the world. Cruz had his share of pain that no one, especially a 5yr old, should have to endure. My heart hurt for him but he is such a strong, sweet loving boy that can also put his dad in his place.
“It’s okay Daddy. I love her a whole bunch and my love can be enough for both of us until you’re ready to love her too.” – Cruz
Colton has had his struggles, which had mad him the man/lawyer that he is. Underneath the all the jerkiness, is a man that loves unconditionally and has a sweet side. It just takes a bit of incessant effort on a certain purple haired woman.
“If I wasn’t already half in love with her, I sure as hell am now. Her fierce protectiveness of Cruz tells me all I need to know. She’s a fucking keeper.” – Colton
I loved everything about this book, how the characters interacted, the struggles, the chemistry and most of all how the story as a whole made me feel. Well done L.K. Farlow!!
Ashley is a spunky photographer who encounters Colton at West and Stacia’s wedding. She is instantly attracted to him. Colton is a crass and arrogant attorney and when he meets Ashley at the wedding, he is extremely rude to her. When Ashley needs an attorney, it is a struggle to get Colton to represent her. Sparks fly even though they try to quash any feelings they may have for each other. When an unexpected life altering event happens to Colton, he and Ashley band together to make the best of a difficult situation. It was fun watching Colton surrender to his feelings for Ashley. Kate has once again given us an uplifting story full of wit, adorable characters and a happily ever after. I loved the cameo appearances of Mallory, Natalie and Tatum. This book is a must read for all.
Fabulous.
This Book is Comedy Gold.
I Loved it.
Opposites certainly do attract whether you want them to or not in this light hearted,delightful story between Ashley and Colton.
I Love Ashley a Purple haired minx who relentlessly pursues Colton an uptight stuck up lawyer,who mis judges her and refuses to help her with a problem she is having with a disgruntled client.(she is a photographer).
I enjoyed reading Coltons change of heart and how he softened when he discovers something that changes his whole life and how Ashley sticks by him and helps him through it all. Proving to him that she is not the person he assumed her to be.
This book is full of Surprises it did have its angsty moments but heartfelt , steamy and funny moments too,but overall it just made me smile so damn much.
L.K Farlow never fails to make me laugh, I love and enjoy the humour and realness in her writing,she creates characters you want to know and be friends with.Reading her stories is like having a get together with your best friends.
Rebel desire is a perfect addition to this series I savoured every single word , it is an Incredible read that kept me entertained and smiling throughout .
I Loved it ,
It is worth every single one of those 5 stars,and I highly recommend it.
Oh, the glorious journey from hate to love! Colton and Ashley had a bit of a rough start (all your fault, Colton!), but Ashley’s sunny disposition and determination to fight rudeness with kindness, not to mention the compassion she shows to everyone in her path, pave the way to happiness.
I wanted to slap Colton and cry for Ashley about 38% into the story, but I couldn’t stop reading to see how he redeems himself. And Colton definitely makes up for his brashness. Between his apology (or apologies, because he is a man and fumbles more than once) and actions and Cruz, Ashley can’t help but fall further in love. And it helps that their story doesn’t have unnecessary drama or angst. We have a natural progression for both Colton and Ashley, which made my day. And then when they finally get their HEA, it’s a wonderful thing. I can’t wait to see where this author takes us next.
A sweet and funny take on love at first sight with a dash of unrequited love thrown in at the start. Ashley is a determined and hopeful romantic. I can appreciate her willingness and commitment to believe that there is true love out there for everyone. If only the love of her life was as hopeful and willing. She definitely had her work cut out for her with Colton. While he started off as quite the jerk, ultimately he leaves you swooning with hearts in your eyes. Watching him open his heart to his newly discovered son and then eventually to Ashley makes it hard not to fall for him. Though I must say, it’s the adorable and sweetly honest Cruz that steals the show and your heart.
Fans of LK will love this story as much as her other characters and books. Readers new to LK will fall in love with her style of writing and romance and want to discover more from her.
What a cute book. This book had it all. Enemies to lovers, surprise single dad, steamy romance… the connection that Ashley made with Cruz right away melted my heart. She was just so good for him knowing what to say and do to make this adorable little boy feel loved.
Colton was so moody from the beginning but being able to be inside of his head, you could tell right away that Ashely for under his skin, and in a good way!
I enjoyed watching the relationships grow in this story, along with the few cameos and mentions of other stories by Farlow. That doesn’t mean you have to read the others to read this one, but I recommend all of her other books regardless!
There wasn’t much angst in the book which was nice with everything going on in the world. It made me feel happy the entire way through – start to finish!
Take a leap into this book about a purple haired beauty and her single/dad soulmate.
I loved reading this story, I just felt so happy after finishing Colton and Ashley’s story. Ashley goes through life to the beat of her own drum, says what’s on her mind, and believes in soul mates. Colton is the cocky, mean, follows a routine lawyer not looking for anything. Ashley and Colton meet at West and Stacia’s wedding, Ashley is a photographer and her heart sings when she sees Colton for the first time. However, Colton being Colton, ruins it when he talks to her. These two continue to banter back and forth from that moment on, which makes it difficult for Ashley when she needs his legal assistance. Even though Colton is rude and mean at times Ashley refuses to give up on getting his help. Ashley and Colton take you on a banter-filled, chemistry that can’t be ignored, emotional adventure that includes a few surprises. I loved Rebel Desire and Colton and Ashley’s dynamic relationship will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen!
