Their first meet up is a disaster. Ashley’s the photographer at Colton’s best friend’s wedding. Once she sees him, she just knows that he is “it” for her. Ashley is not at all shy about making her interest known, but Colton turns her down flat.
Fate and Ashley are not ready to give up on her soulmate, so when she finds herself in need of a good lawyer, she seeks out Colton. He has no qualms about being a jerk! He shuts her down. She’s no quitter, so doing her best to win him over is her newest plan. She’s persistent and will do whatever she needs to wear him down.
Colton is a hard nut to crack until he needs a favor in return. Ashley’s just been given the perfect opportunity to make him fall for her, so she jumps at the chance. The big, bad jerk is going to fall.
A sexy romance with a whole bunch of feels. Colton never wanted a family of his own, but then things changed. She became part of everything he never knew he wanted. Colton will transform from reluctant until he’s all in and it is swoon worthy! This man’s soft will make you melt. And the chemistry between them will sizzle. Their Happily Ever After is the sweetest.
Ashley & Coltons story is definitely a cute one! Ashley is a newbie but we meet Colton in Book 2 (Rebel Soul) and although you don’t need to read the previous books I would still recommend them – I had a reread of books 1&2 before starting this!
Ashley is the purple haired dreamer, she’s certain that Colton is her soulmate from the moment she first lays her eyes on him. Although she’s a dreamer, she’s not ditzy, she’s a hard working photographer with a heart of gold.
However, Colton is adamant she’s a nuisance! He’s definitely not the nicest to her when they first meet but the more she keeps turning up, the more she grows on him! And when his life suddenly takes an unexpected turn, she’s there to help him out no matter what and he soon realises there’s more to Ashley than her purple hair!!
An interesting sweet read, some humour, a believable attraction and a lotta love!!….oh, and I absolutely love Cruz!!
*I voluntarily received an arc from the author and this is my honest review.
Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own.
This was a delightful little story that really had me hooked from the start. This is a romcom that had me smiling my face off.
I really enjoyed the author’s writing style. It was very welcoming and the narration was very smooth. The plot of the story definitely had me invested in the story. I couldn’t put the book down. I did feel that there wasn’t enough conflict at the end of the story though. Things kind of wrapped up a little too nicely.
The characters were very relatable and likable. I loved the progression of Colton’s character the most. I also admired Ashley’s character for going after what she wants and sticking to her guns. I felt that Colton’s character had a little bit more depth than Ashley’s character. There were some wonderful secondary characters. It just so happens that some of them are from other books by this author so I will have to check them out. I am definitely curious now.
The one thing that I didn’t like about the romance was the one-sided instalove on Ashley’s side. She had the idea that she could tell that Colton was her soulmate from the moment that she saw him and she kept referring to that concept throughout the book. It just felt a little outlandish to me that she was so caught up on it. That aside, I felt that Colton and Ashley had great chemistry when they were together. The connection that they form is vibrant. I also loved how Cruz’s presence in their lives brought them out of their shells.
Overall, this was an enemies-to-lovers story that I enjoyed the heck out of. This is a very transformative story that checks off all the boxes of the feels list. I am looking forward to more stories from this author!
Today, Forever, and Always. That’s what Colton and Ashley promise to each other. When Ashley meets Colton at a wedding, she knows he’s her soulmate and she’ll do what she can to get him and keep him. Colton thinks she’s crazy and unprofessional. When Colton ends up needing her help with a sad, yet pretty awesome issue, the two get closer than before. What happens when these two get together is what happily ever afters are made of!
Gah! This book… I’m a big puddle of warm fuzzies right now.
Ash and Colton are AMAZING. Absolute frenemies to lovers perfection.
Cruz – such a sweet boy. It broke my heart to read his story. No child deserves to experience his past. But, I adored the way Ashley loved him as her own.
I absolutely loved this book. It was light, filled with funny banter and chemistry so hot it felt like my Kindle was going to catch fire.
Ashley was such a great woman. Her love for Cruz made her that much special in my eyes. Colton was an ass in the beginning but he sure proved that he was so much more. These two had me smiling for start to finish and I’m kinda sad this story is over.
LK Farlow is becoming one click author for me and I couldn’t be happier about that.

Such an amazing story!
So out of all the Rebel books so far, this one has to be by far my favorite. I ADORED Ashley. I love her personality, her wit and just her soul. She was so relatable and endearing that I kinda have a girl crush! Then you have Colton. MAAAAAN! These two and the way they go at it right from the start breaks my heart for her because of how much of a jerk he was. But she slowly breaks away at that ice around his heart. That by the book, no nonsense, work is everything life that Colton thought he enjoyed, was completely wrong. He is thrown for that loop and only Ashley was who he wanted to help him. The connection these two have at such a different level regardless of how things started between them, it was absolutely stunning. I adored every moment of this book.
If you haven’t read Farlow’s words, what are you waiting for? Rebel Desire takes you on a journey of self discovery, self love and standing up for what is right and for yourself. It is a beautiful mesh of enemies to lovers and honestly I devoured it in one sitting. It has amazing flow, character build and an amazing storyline. This one is a must read for 2020!
One of the best single parents story I’ve read in a long time! what started as a hate to lovers, turned into something so beautiful I was swooning for the majority of the book, it was a great story, I read it in one sitting!
4 ‘Rebel’ stars.
Rebel Desire is the third book in the ‘Rebel Love’ series. This one brings Colton to the forefront. He’s been the grumpy man in the previous two books and now he’s the star of the show. Or, well, maybe that’s Ashley, lol, she doesn’t take Colton’s nonsense, even when she needs his help. She’s a fun, warm-hearted character that will make you smile. She knew what she wanted and showed Colton her heart.
This was a fun, vibrant, and swoony story. I’m so happy to have read it, and you will be too. Grab your copy today and enjoy.
This book cover is strikingly fabulous first of all let me say that.
I’ve read books by this author before and I absolutely love her style of writing and I always enjoy reading her books. This was a beautifully written enemies to lovers perfect romance novel that was great and the story line flowed beautifully.
This is Ashley and Colton’s story.
Ashley is a wedding photographer and she absolutely loves her job. She loves loves loves – L.O.V.E itself. She’s a gorgeous, sunny amazing woman that is smoking hot herself with gorgeous hair and she doesn’t like to take things to seriously.
Colton is a guy that is totally cocky with his attitude and is a real grumpy rule follower especially him being a lawyer and all deep down he’s quite sweet. He’s a real alpha male that thinks his life is in perfect order. When he first sees Ashley he thinks that she’s a little out there. But when he sees her a few days later when she asks for his legal help and he refuses to help her and he now he cant stop thinking about her. She is very persistent and he sort of admires the fact that she hasn’t given up and she is not a quitter and she sort of stalks him.
This author really knows how to write books that help the reader be connected with the story and the characters and I really enjoyed this book. This book also will have your emotions up and down laughing one minute and crying the next you will feel it in your heart.
I really liked these characters especially Ashley and they had fantastic sizzling chemistry between each other even though they are both opposites.
Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down I loved every minute of it. Thank you to the author and the publishers for allowing me to read and early copy of this book. ARC provided in exchange for an honest voluntary review. This hot enemies to lovers romance has it all and is great and I highly recommend every one reads it.
This is the 3rd book in this awesome series and is Ashley and Colton’s story. Ashley is a lavender haired wedding photographer, who spots Colton at his friends’ wedding and she know straight away that he is her soulmate despite them being total opposites, however, this cocky and uptight lawyer turns her down flat. When she needs legal advice she goes to Colton, but will he take on her case? Will Ashley be able to convince Colton to take a chance on them? This is a well written story which is humorous and entertaining, and I was captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I highly recommend for all.
So I didn’t love Colton for a lot of this book. I thought he was a complete jerk, but the minute his son was dropped on his doorstep he immediately became the most amazing character. Ashley is probably one of my favorite characters ever. She is just goodness. It really took a good while for any kind of relationship to form between Ashley and Colton which is very different from most books to read. I love that we get a Natalie and Mallory and Tatum cameo and there is lots of West and Stacia as well.
**I did was generously provided with a copy of this book in exchange for my fair and honest review**
I loved this cook so much colton ashley where amazing together it cracked me up how colton was he was controlled. Cruz was so cute
I received a free ARC copy of this book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is book 3 in the series and it easily stands alone. It stars Colton, who we met in book 2. He is the bestfriend of Wes from the second book in this series, Rebel Desire. Ashley is a photographer hired to take wedding pictures for Wes and his wife, she is a new character for me and in this series but she is bestfriends with Mallory from the authors other series, The Best of Me.
When they meet Ashley falls hard and I mean HARD! She thinks he is her soulmate but Colton thinks she is a bad photographer and so not his type. So what do you do when you fine your ONE but he is a big grumpy guss and has no idea who you are? Well thats Ash’s challenge and lets say she rises up to the challenge.
This book was a lot of fun. Colton is totally the opposite of Ashley but together they really make sense and I loved both of them so much. This was a fun, and romantic story with a baby thrown into the mix.
What a lovely book this was again by writer L.K. Farlow, i loved these entire Rebel Love series. The love betwee Colton and Ashley isn’t easy. For Ashley the love is immediate like a lightning bolt but Colton needs time. Time to accept the love for , the special and quirky, Ashley. Between the love for each other they had the love and care for Cruz. The little guy loves Ashley immediately, like he said: ” It’s okay daddy, I love her a whole bunch and my love can be enough for both of us untill you’re ready to love her too.
This book again has everything love, friendship, heartache and a lot of fun. With it’s wonderfull characters and great world building, this book was a real page-turner, hard to put down and do other things. It even made me wake up early to finish the book before everyone elso woke up.
Again a 5 star review from me!!!
I have loved every book in this series! You can’t help but feel connected to the main characters, their friends and their family.
I was invested in this story from the very beginning and I couldn’t wait to get to know the woman that would finally bring the grumpy, sarcastic Colton to his knees. After meeting Colton in the previous book, I wouldn’t have thought that it was possible for anyone to even come close. However, after meeting a VERY persistent Ashley, she eventually broke him down. I knew that I was going to love this story long before I even read it. I enjoy a good enemies to lovers romance but you throw in a single dad into the mix and my swoony heart becomes a puddle of mush!!! Single dads are my FAVE! This is certainly a book that I recommend one-clicking ASAP! I added this book to my list of ones that I will DEFINITELY want to read over and over.
This sexy and hilarious (surprise) single dad rom-com with a side of enemies-to-lovers goodness is guaranteed to have you swoony, laughing
My swoony romance heart just about exploded reading this.
Laughter, sassiness and and the cutest five year old.
Full of bliss and chemistry off the charts these two have a rough start but boy does Colton make her work for it.
Colton was a hard guy to love at the start because he came across so harsh but of course he had me with hearts in my eyes by the end.
Ashley was sassy, fun and so easy to love I loved the banter between Colton and Ashley they had a dynamic that pulled you in and had you in fits of laughter while reading.
Small town romance at its best with cuteness galore and an epic battle between enemies.
Throw in an adorable five year old and you won’t be able to not fall in love with this story.
LK Farlow has wrItten another incredibly funny, sexy, sweet romance book. I was captivated by moody and broody Colton and his by the book, perfectionist ways, while being utterly captivated by the sassy, lavender haired spitfire that is Ashley. Together these two are a force to be reckoned with. From the moment Ashley sets eyes on him at her friend and client’s wedding she knows he’s the one, he’s her soulmate. Colton is less than impressed by the tall, tatted, lavender haired menace and has no qualms saying it directly to her face. But and there is a but, he is not immune to her or her baking skills and lets her get under his skin. Things heat up when Colton finds out he’s a father and needs Ashley’s help. From here on in their story just gets better and better and watching them fall in love and form a family makes this a fantastic Five Star Read. TBR and enjoy.
