Conceal
By: Ava Harrison
Narrated by: Zachary Webber, Andi Arndt
Ava Harrison always knows what I want to hear. A good love story, amazing characters, some intense suspense and she has a winner again! Willow is on the run, and finds her elementary school friend Maggie to bunk with until she finds a safe place to hide. Willow fills in for her as a waitress at a private poker party where she meets Jax, and our story begins. This slow burn has all the feels. Jaxson is sweet, patient and the kind of hero I love. Not because he is rich and good looking, though those are not bad attributes, but he is intelligent and leads with his heart. Willow is incredibly strong and does her best not to be a victim. I love this about her as she does what she can to remedy any fears and dependence on others that she has. Their slow burn is everything you can imagine. Harrison let’s us get to know the characters so well, it’s like we are friends of ours and we are experiencing all their emotions right along with them. I could not stop listening, wanting to know what would happen next and how it all turns out! Add in the secondary characters of Grayson, Addison, Oliver and Pierce and we get that cohesiveness I love. It’s like coming home.
Harrison chooses her narrators very carefully and this team nails the narration. Zachary Webber becomes Jaxson with his inflections. He can give that attitude and turn and give a loving glance that with Webber’s voice we all can see. Andi Arndt is always a perfect fit. The consummate professional, her performances are stellar and pull me in. But together this team enhances Harrison’s story. It’s incredible.

Smoking hot! A novel that keeps you guessing where it will end. Ava Harrison has flawless plot lines, outstanding character development, and the ability to keep the reader entranced from cover to cover. Jaxson is trying to prove himself to his family as more than a screw around playboy. He’s tired of hiding who he really is and not being taken seriously. Willow is just hiding, running from her past and trying to find herself in a new city.
“I’m lost, like a passenger on a boat drifting off to sea, but he is the anchor, bringing me back.”
Together, they incinerate everything around them.
“He’s like the sun. His presence brings me warmth but if I allow it, it will set me ablaze. Burn me.”
This novel can be read as a stand alone, though it makes me want to go back and read both Entice and Deceit. Go one click now and get sucked into the world of the Price legacy.

Completely misunderstood an undervalued by his siblings, Jaxson Price is out to prove them wrong. But when Willow comes into his life it is the things that made Jax stand out from others that connects the two. But when the truth comes out and their relationship that was built on lies is put to the test will Jax still be able to prove his worth to his siblings? Or will the true family dynamic come into play? Falling in love with Jax is very easy. The reader simply cannot help it. he is charismatic, adorably sexy and has a heart of gold. But when the reader sees him finally finding the one thing worth fighting for do they completely understand that he is so much more. I simply could not put this down and loved each and every chapter. Best one of the series.
Suspenseful, sweet and sexy.
The three S’s, that’s what we get with this beautifully written read. This is one of those books that you start and can’t put down. The characters Willow and Jaxson are exceptional in every way. He’s sweet, giving and of course easy on eyes. She’s fierce, lost and incredibly beautiful.
The suspense in this will keep you on your toes. The secrets, what’s she hiding and Jaxsons open and helpful heart are the things that make you unable to put this down. Loved it!

I’ve really enjoyed this series and couldn’t wait to jump into Jaxson’s story.
We start with Jax being called to his brothers’ house, something he doesn’t particularly want to do as there is some tension between them. Grayson is the older brother but doesn’t hold must trust in him, something Jax doesn’t understand why and he’s always around helping him. Grayson wants to employ someone to help Jax, but the strong character he is, he tells Grayson that he will step up and show him he can manage.
Willow, she’s on the run, scared for her life and has ended up in New York, sleeping on an old friends couch. She meets Jax and things change for her. She’s nothing like her former self and is trying not to be seen.
She thinks Jax can help her but she needs to be able to trust him first and that leads us into their getting to know each other dates, but only friend dates, nothing else.
If you are looking for a nice easy romance story this is the book for you. Jax will sweep you off your feet, he’s smooth, funny, playful and would do anything for Willow to make sure she’s safe. I loved all their little dates and you could feel the love growing between them, although I would have liked something sooner between them, it did build on the angst and slow burn of the story.
This is a great suspense, friends to lovers story that I greatly enjoyed and I love that we will be getting more from this world!
ARC received for an honest review – thank you

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephaine’s Book Reports.
I ran. Escaped the man who wanted to hurt me. I got in my care and drove. No destination. No direction. No help. I hid in the one place I would never be found. Now in New York with no job, I didn’t know what to do. Then I met him. Jaxson Price. The enigmatic devil who wasn’t only above the law, but played it like a puppet. He might be the answer to all my problems. Too bad he’s asking for something in return to his help….my heart.
If you like books where the secret is given fairly early then I can say that your not going to be thrilled with this one. I am all for the tease. For drawing it out. For waiting but this one took forever and thirteen days it seemd to be before the secret was revealed. The characters are good and you will really like them and root your heart out for them to get together. Maybe it was just me who felt this way. But man I had a hard time with this one for some reason.
Scared for her life, Willow is on the run. She turns to Maggie, her childhood best friend. Maggie falls ill on the day of her company’s first solo gig. Eager to make it up to her friend for taking her in, Willow volunteers to take her place. It’s at that event that she meets Jaxson Price. They are instantly attracted to each other, but Jaxson senses her fear as she keeps him at arm’s length. What exactly is it that she’s trying to hide?
This is the first book of Ava Harrison’s I’ve read (I’ve listened to two of her audiobooks) and I LOVED IT!!! Like the author’s other heroines, Willow is such a strong character. Jaxson, on the other hand, is caring, helpful, and protective. Their chemistry was off the charts and I just loved how they were able to help each other heal and grow.
The epilogue ties up the stories of the three Price siblings beautifully.
Conceal is a slow burn, friends-to-lovers contemporary billionaire romance written in dual first-person POV. It’s a standalone that ends with a HEA. No cliffhanger.
I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
I fell in love with Ava Harrison’s writing after reading Entice and after reading Conceal it made me love her even more. The way that she can tell a story and how these complex characters unfold is just amazing. Jax is the carefree younger brother who wants to be taken seriously and can handle responsibility. Willow is running from her past without looking back and looking to start her new life. When these two cross paths I couldn’t wait to read what was going to happen next with them. Their chemistry was off the charts and I was rooting so hard for Willow because she needed happiness in her life. This story is romantic and a great second chance at love that I couldn’t put down. I am excited for another book by Ava Harrison.
Conceal is the perfect combination of wonderful characters, an interest capturing storyline and just the right amount of intrigue that will keep you hanging on to the edge of your seat all the way to the end of the story!
Willow is running, scared and concealing all of her secrets behind a disguise and fear. She has no idea who she can trust until she meets Jaxson and there is something about him. Jaxon has been misunderstood and underestimated by his family and is feeling a bit lost, but when he meets Willow he realizes she is terrified of something but he also finds her intriguing and wants to get to know her, but first he has to break down the walls she has erected. In order to do that Jaxson comes up with the idea of a scavenger hunt through New York City as a way to get to know Willow and earn her trust. When she finally spills her secrets they have to work together to figure out why Willow is being threatened.
I loved this story and enjoyed the banter between Willow and Jaxson and the way they balanced each other out. It allowed them to easily fall into a friendship and then so much more.
CONCEAL by Ava Harrison is the story of Jaxson ‘Jax’ and Willow.
If you have read Deceit or Entice by this author then you have already been introduced to Jaxson’s family…those books where of his sister and brother as the main characters. With that said this of course is a standalone book but I enjoyed catching up with the previous characters so I wanted to make it known that you might too.
Jaxson is the youngest of his siblings by a few years. Which makes him the one that felt left out and he used to do things to get attention. This has made him somewhat the black sheep and one that the family didn’t count on. But he is working to change that and be more a dependable part of the family. Willow is on the run for her life when she ends up meeting Jaxon. Jaxon goes into protective mode with her because he recognizes something in her along with his immediate attraction to her. This was a great romantic suspense story. I am in love with this author’s writing and hope to read more from her soon!
This story was absolutely incredible. I was hooked straight away and couldn’t put it down, I was desperate to know what happened next. I didn’t expect the twists and turns but I loved them. I fell in love with the characters straight away and felt invested in what they were facing. I loved how it developed and the way it ended was perfection. I want to give more than 5 stars. An absolutely amazing story.
Conceal by Ava Harrison was emotional and full of suspense. Jaxson and Willow were absolutely great together. Willow is running and haunted. She should not trust anyone, but she is drawn to Jax. Jax is charming and sexy, but also has his own issues. But together, they could be so much more. He was protective and caring to Willow, which allowed her to shine. I got lost in the story of Jax and Willow. He was there for her from the start, friends who eventually become more. A captivating slow burn romance that was angsty, charming and suspenseful.
Read and reviewed for Reviews From the Heart.
Happy reading!
Willow is definitely living under the radar trying to escape from her world. Maggie her friend helps her, and when Maggie is sick a Willow volunteers to help her. Willow is at the job and meets Jaxson who is instantly intrigued. Willow and Jax become friends and become closer. Can Willow have freedom from her past to go forward with Jax. Great characters and storyline. Highly recommended. My first book by this author definitely not my last.
Jaxson and Willow’s story is beautifully written, suspenseful and captivating. I loved it! Jaxson is handsome, billionaire, resourceful, caring and protective. Willow is a strong and beautiful woman. She is supportive of Jaxson, despite her own difficulties and her difficult past! I love their slow burn story, and their amazing chemistry. The secondary characters are great! I loved to see again Grayson/River (Entice), Addison/Oliver (Deceit). Trent, and Cyrus are intriguing characters. The ending is beautiful, and heartwarming. I can’t wait to listen to this amazing story in audiobook. Looking forward for Cyrus Reed’s story!
Audiobook Review: Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber did an amazing job with the narration. Zachary Webber as Jaxson Price is perfect! I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it.
4.5 stars. I loved Jax and Willow’s story. There is an air of mystery that follows Willow, and Jax is the misinterpreted bad boy of the family. He’s a sweetheart deep down and will go to any length to help those he loves. This book had me hooked and I loved the twists and turns.
Conceal by Ava Harrison is a romantic suspense read that has intrigue, passion, rawness, suspense, angst, twists, mystery, and romance. This is Jax and Willow’s story. Willow is running for her life when she meets Jax Price , billionaire. He is the black sheep in his family. He has things that cause him to be broken which is set him up to be like Willow for she is just as broken as Jax but in her own way.
Without giving anything away, the plot and swoon-worthy moments and suspense/ mystery that sets up, brings this book together in a totally fascinating and fantastic way. The main and secondary characters work great, the plot is tight and the intense, raw feels are amazing. Great standalone book to an emotional powerhouse read.
My Rating: 4.5 stars ********
Wow …. this book drew me in from the first page and there was no putting down til I had read the final line. It’s not often you pick a book up and know from the first pages you are reading something very special, well this was a book that I knew right away that the story would captivate me but it went a bit better than even I expected it actually blew me away because it was everything I want in a great read. Characters with sizzling chemistry and plenty of witty banter all add to the enjoyment.
Jaxson Price is the man for me , he ticked all my boxes, I swooned, I smiled and I giggled at his potty mouth and I’m so happy he found the perfect woman in Willow, a strong determined sassy woman who drives him a little bit crazy with her determination to do it her way but together they become whole they become two peas in a pod.
An emotional roller coaster covering some sensitive subjects, this is a story about taking chances and being prepared to jump knowing you will be caught, it has the perfect mix of love, passion, witty banter as well as intrigue and suspense and I highly recommend it. This is a must read !!!
