This book is the third in this series, and picks up where the last one left off. This book holds your attention from beginning to end, just like the 2 first books.The only thing I didn’t really like was London’s attitude. Everyone makes mistakes; she really needs to get over Arlo’s mistakes. Especially if they happen before she was even in the picture. Other than that the book was great, and I really enjoyed reading it!
“When all is said and done, we don’t have enough to build on to go forward, Arlo, we just don’t.” Bullshit. “That’s bullshit, London, and you fucking know it. You don’t even sound like you believe it yourself. We thrived, and it brought us closer. Just like with me and the rest of band, our thing just works. What more do you need?” “I need someone I can rely on to always be there to catch me, and I’m not sure I have that with you.”
My favourite book of the series. Arlo and London’s relationship is a topsy, turvy ride, with lots of angst and tears. I didn’t think they’d get their happy ever after at times. An emotional and believable rockstar romance about two people who need to learn how to trust. Both of them have damaged souls, with big hearts.
My heart be still and my emotions are all over the place. The final story about London and Arlo will keep you enthralled from the beginning to the end. When Arlo finally gets his girl, something happens to threaten their happiness. Can Arlo show London he is the one for her? And that they truly belong together? It just seems nothing can go their way, or can it? This story will take you on an emotional journey that you can’t help but fall in love with these characters all over again. I truly enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by this author.
This was an ok series.
This entertaining read pulls you deeper into Arlo and London’s story. The emotional turmoil and intensity really increases and I found myself much more invested in this couple. Arlo’s struggle to show London how much she meant to him was both sweet and beautiful. I could sympathize with London’s emotional struggle with her feelings for Arlo and all the drama that came from his fame and notoriety. A very emotional read.
This is the third book in this great series, and is the conclusion of Arlo and London’s tale. This story continues straight on from where the previous ended. London cannot deal with the drama off the rock star fame and limelight, and keeps pushing Arlo away. Arlo has been changed into a better person by London, and is determined to fight for what he wants. No spoilers; this is a must read, you will not be disappointed! This is another well written story, which had me captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I look forward to reading more form this talented author, whose work I recommend for all.
This was a great read. I really enjoyed it. Arlo and London are meant to be together. I loved their journey.
This is the final book of this trilogy and I was eagerly anticipating the conclusion of Arlo and London’s intense and captivating story.
The best bit of this book is how Arlo grows and transforms throughout this series. He truly has been on an emotional journey right from the arrogant, cocky rock god in the beginning to a man who simply loves his woman. He displayed true grit and complete devotion to London.
Arlo and London definitely do not have a straightforward and simple love story and relationship. Both of them have got major issues from their pasts that have ultimately made them put up walls and push people away. These things have contributed to their attitudes and the way that they see life. There’s inevitable baggage there but when you have a love like theirs it’s worth fighting for.
I also really loved the secondary characters in this book and the way M.V. Ellis infused so much humor and life into this story.
Throughout all the hard times and sorrow; and the long road they had yet to overcome, they come together so much stronger, bonded and completely in love.
Brilliant and satisfying ending to a fantastic series
Well this was it for me, I was dying to get my hands on Pushing Arlo, I was like an excited puppy. After devouring the first two books in this series I was anxiously awaiting more from my latest Rock God crush.
“He was emotionally detached and hotter than Hades” he also confesses:
I’m that guy. The celebrity a-hole the rest of the world can see is an out-of-control so and so. The one that is too high on his own supply to listen when anybody tries to tell him to get the hell over himself, so people stop trying. That. Guy. Well – not anymore, he needs to win over his girl; there is a strategic plan in place. (Although, trust me, he is still hotter than Hades)
This is the story of how love and devotion from “the one” can make or break your world. How your past can alter your future and what creative lengths you need to go too in order for that to happen.
It wasn’t just a love story about two people though; it was the connection of a band of brothers and what they in turn, would do for one another. Their camaraderie will have you in stitches with some of their antics. We got an insight into their different personalities and we also got more of Luke, Arlo’s twin brother, an enigma, who was a major player throughout this book.
Along with being the front man of the Heartless Few, the hottest band in town, Arlo is an astute businessman when it comes to the entertainment/ Nightclub industry and we meet some swoon-worthy Managers, which caught my attention, in his employ. (I’m hoping that turns out to be a whole other story.) Our author is very innovative in naming her venues.
I loved the beautiful London too, she was aptly described as “this tiny little Pandora’s box of a person, but you take the lid off, and boom! There’s an explosive firecracker”. She had strength to do what she thought was best for her; she had hard decisions to make. London took her time. She had needed it. She also loved Arlo and their sexual chemistry was off the richter, how was she able to resist his persuasive intentions, he had done so many thoughtful things to prove he was worthy of her love. I adored the ending of this series, the epilogue made my heart melt.
So just like Arlo has his fan base MV Ellis is well on the way to building hers. I love the way she writes; it’s an easy read full of wit and banter. I’m sold! I for one will be looking forward to so much more from this fabulous new author.
Whew! What a conclusion to this series!
The story of Arlo and London. Told from Arlo’s POV.
As I was reading, I was applauding Arlo’s transformation. He had a real redemption. I wanted to smack London upside the head with her stubbornness! I would have really enjoyed to see a peek into London’s thinking, maybe a chapter or two from her POV. To get a real understanding what was going through her head.
Through trials and tribulations. You can feel the heartbreak and the determination of Arlo as he becomes the man that he feels deserves to be with London. He is smart, he is stubborn and he is so swoony, you really see the romance come out of him in this story.
This story and the others before it are fantastic! I can really see Ms. Ellis going places in the author world!
Get your hands on this!!
Oh Arlo. He is truly a self-absorbed, selfish, rock star but from the start of this series, his world was rocked by London. He now faces the fight of his life. London doesn’t want to be part of his crazy rock star world so she leaves him. How can he convince her to come back? It was a great ride experiencing Arlo as he truly faces who he is and realizes that maybe he isn’t always right. From the relationship he has with his twin brother to showing London his true self, we get to see someone emerge almost as if he’d been in a deep sleep for years. Arlo’s softer side is beautiful and eloquent, I loved his notes to Squirt, made my heart melt. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
WOW!! That was an awesome finish to this three part story.
Arlo has grown quite a bit from the arrogant, cocky rock god, to a man who simply loves his woman. He showed true grit and complete devotion to London, even when she kept pushing him away. Her reasons were there for us to see, but it was still somewhat annoying that she did it repeatedly. Maybe this would have been easier to understand if Ms Ellis had used dual POV rather than single. We only had Arlo’s insight in this one. I thought after the other two being individual she would have used this advantage better. But, that’s just my view, it’s the author’s choice how she writes the story after all.
We still saw all the emotional turmoil they suffered, Arlo was a real sweetie here showing his true heartfelt emotions. He’s a man on a mission and he won’t quit until he’s got what he wants.
London’s heart.
Great ending to a fantastic story.
