“A flawlessly written, feel-good romance that will leave you satisfied and sad it’s over. Rebel Soul is LK Farlow’s best book yet!” – USA Today Bestselling Author Ella JamesWest Larson comes from old money–the kind of wealth that comes with expectations steeped in archaic traditions. So, it’s not surprising when he learns the conditions of his trust fund: produce an heir before he turns … before he turns twenty-five.
Enter Stacia Kellan. Her lowkey personality makes her the perfect baby mama…without the drama. And thanks to her wild-ass hair, colorful tattoos, and smart mouth, she’s exactly the kind of girl his parents would never approve of. Add in the fact that she’s a total smokeshow…knocking her up certainly wouldn’t be a hardship.
Stacia lives her life fast and loud. The idea of settling down isn’t on her radar. So, when her long-time friend asks her to have his baby, her immediate answer is a big, fat hell-to-the-no. Seriously, is he crazy?
West pulls out all the stops in wooing her and with every heated encounter, Stacia finds herself falling a little more for his charm and wit. Oh, and his forearms…yum.
Obligations. Lust. Friendship. Love.
The lines begin to blur as emotions enter the equation and besides, everyone knows you can’t deny your rebel soul.

I absolutely adore LK Farlow and this series is so great that I have already read Rebel Heart a couple times before diving into Rebel Soul.
Rebel Soul is the story of Stacia and Weston and it’s everything you could want from a Friends to Lovers, arranged baby romance. Stacia is everything I love about a heroine. She is strong and beautiful, comfortable with herself. But her life has turned upside down. Weston is a self made billionaire, and the inheritance left to him by his grandfather has his life turned upside down as well. This story has all the feels, all the fun, all the heart… it just has it all.
The one thing I didn’t really like was the lack of tension between Weston and his parents towards the end. I have no love for his parents at all, like below non-existent, but I still felt as though this part didn’t do the story justice when it came to the relationship West has with his parents.
All in all, it was a great read and I would definitely be thrilled to add it to my kindle library on a permanent basis.
Also, I will say that I can’t wait to see if Colton gets his own story because I seriously cannot wait for that man to be knocked on his butt by a woman.
Four beautiful stars for this fun friends to lovers read that had me smiling, laughing and crying… all in the course of the day it took me to read this book.
This was my first book of Lk Farlow’s I have read and I cannot wait to read more. This was such a beautiful story between two friends that obviously were attracted to each other from the first time they met. I couldn’t put this book down not even for a moment, it was gorgeous to see how their relationship and feelings for each other grow. Physically they were complete opposites but emotionally they they new how to complete one another. If your looking for a beautiful love story that makes you swoon more and more throughout the whole book this is it. What might of brought them together was her fathers situation but what kept them together was the love for each other.
First time reader of this author. I enjoyed the storyline concept, will conditions from old money to produce an heir in an allotted time frame. Banter between the characters felt real and I empathised with West and Stacia’s lives. It felt like the book became rushed in the last few chapters. I’d of preferred to not skip over so many things I thought were important to the story.
Stacia has literally had her world turned upside down with no warning. Gossip about her family has become the new flavour. Her friend AJ is the shoulder she needs to lean on. However AJ and Brock have company, Brock’s cousin West is over and they have a history. Stacia is feeling a million emotions, scared, alone, bewildered and lust. Yes lust…she has always been attracted to West, but had to watch him with other women. Stacia is knock out gorgeous with red hair, she is fiery, with tattoo’s and piercings, is a makeup artist and has a penchant for fast cars.
West is from old money, a self appointed bachelor and runs a very profitable business. The creator of an app as a nineteen year old has set him up quite nicely. His family upbringing isn’t something to be envious of, appearances can be deceiving. When his grandfather dies he is faced with a dilemma, produce an heir before he turns twenty five. With only twelve months, time is not on his side. While AJ is searching for a solution to Stacia’s need of accommodation, it becomes obvious, West’s house has three spare rooms. Is a roommate likely to impair his chances of finding a baby mama?
This book was awesome!! West and Stacia were the baddest couple even if their looks didn’t seem to match. Their story was heartwarming, funny, silly, angsty and swoon worthy! Heck as hard as West is in his woo-ing I want a West of my own!! A definite must read you’ll thoroughly enjoy and have laughs along the way with this friends to lovers romance. Very well written but also on the PG side for those who aren’t into nitty gritty sexual scenes.
I loved this book so much more than I thought I would! It was swoon worthy and gave me all the feels!! I couldn’t get enough!
Gives me all the warm happies!!
West finds himself needing an heir in order to inherit his grandfather’s estate. He wants this inheritance, despite having his own success and money, because his happy memories are all tied up with this property.
At the same time as he’s discovering this, Stacia’s world is falling apart because her father has been arrested. Her mother is imploding without him. Her family needs money to survive and also for bail so she starts exploring new job opportunities. And she ends up moving in with West.
They have chemistry. And have always had chemistry. And friendship.
He’s hot, rich, a good guy despite having crap parents. She’s confident, bold, independent, comfortable in her own skin.
West finds himself obsessing over Stacia all the time. After some time and discoveries, he decides she’d be his perfect baby mama. She takes some convincing.
Humor, feels, heat, family, friends, all the good stuff. A wee bit of drama. I love LK’s bookiverse. I can’t wait for more from this fantastic world she’s created. Brock & AJ, Colton, I simply love these characters. Watching Stacia open up to West. West wooing Stacia.
This book leaves me all warm and happy. Can’t wait to see what LK explores next! (Colton, please?!)

5 Heart Warming Crowns
This is a feel-good story that will leave you with the biggest smile on your face. LK has dished out a heartwarming book that is filled with heart, heat, and all the swoony moments you can handle. Her words reach into your soul and leave you with all the warm fuzzy’s and I loved every second.
“Weston.” My dad barks into the phone, his voice as pleasant as stepping on a Lego.”
I love Weston, this man will get you all excited with his never-ending charm and filthy mouth. It doesn’t hurt when he get’s all Alpha either, that will send all the tingles to your lady bits. But on the same token my heart ached for him on multiple levels when he’s family life came into the picture. I was astonished that he turned out as amazing as he is with the parent’s that he has. It brought him into a whole new light for me and I fell head over heels for him in those moments.
“For some reason, seeing Stacia so visibly upset has my inner-caveman firing on all cylinders. My body aches to pull her close. My heart feels as if little fissures are running through it with each sniffle.”
Stacia is the exact opposite of West. She is tattooed and pierced and he’s clean cut and put together, but that dichotomy works for them. She is feisty and will help her family even to the detriment of herself and her comfort level. To her family is everything, and West never really had that in his life. I think that’s why they fit so perfectly; she gives him something that he never really had as a child.
“Our kiss isn’t sweet or tender, it’s rude and devoid of all pleasantries. We’re a combustible combination of lips, teeth, and tongues as each of us airs our frustrations with our bodies.”
The dynamic between Stacia and West was utterly effortless. They just clicked right away, and their individual personalities meshed perfectly. From the start you could feel their connection jump from the pages and warm your heart. You immediately got the sense that these two belonged with each other. Not to mention the heat between them is all kinds of steamy deliciousness.
“I know I have no real claim to her, but I want one. I need one. I need this woman to be mine. For this body to be for my eyes, my hands, my mouth…my worship only.”
LK has created a beautifully written feel-good romance that will leave you with a huge smile on your face. Her carefully constructed story flows naturally and without interruption building their relationship with ease. Yes, there are some parts that have some angst but overall this story is meant to make the reader happy and it does that in spades. If your looking for a light easy read that will have you non-stop smiling than look no further, this is the story for you!!!
This is definitely a feel-good book! Everything about this story and these characters make you happy. Rebel Soul by L.K. Farlow hooks you from the beginning and has you memorized until the end.
Stacia may be a Rebel Soul but she is also a Daddy’s girl and when her family needs her help, she steps up. Sometimes not making the wisest decisions, but her heart is in it. West was in a conundrum from the get-go, but he was determined.
His situation, her situation led to a mutual beneficial living agreement, as roommates, until the chemistry around them finally went BOOM! There is lots of back and forth, sassy and sexiness between West and Stacia, but OMG, the romance bursts off the pages.
Stacia Kellen and West Larson are total opposites. But they’ve been friends for a very long time. Just friends, no hanky panky. So when West asks her to be his baby mama, she’s like what! Hell no! But West needs a heir before his 25th birthday. No marriage required. He thinks she’d be perfect. Plus his parents won’t approve and that’s a bonus. I just love these two. Their banter is hilarious. Chemistry is off the charts. There’s no unnecessary drama. They actually acted like the adults they are. Great story. West is a real sweetheart and Stacia has a heart of gold. It was great getting to see these two fall for each other. Loved these two together. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Definitely recommend.

HOLY SWEET FRIENDS TO LOVERS PERFECTION Y’ALL!! As always L.K Farlow captured my heart with West and Stacia’s story from the first syllable on page one and didn’t turn it loose until the very last line. Every time I devour one of her book I think “ this is it, this is THE ONE, my absolute favorite.” But this is really it y’all. THE ONE! MY FAVORITE! She just gets better and better with every book she writes. I’m a sucker for a good friends-to-lovers, and this was all that and then so much more!
Weston “West” Larson is wealthy, gorgeous and totally sweet and sinful in bed. He’s also one of Stacia’s best friends. He has a dilemma, though…He needs to father a baby to fulfill the terms of his inheritance within the next year. When some devastating stuff happens in Stacia’s family he sees an opportunity to help her. So he comes up with a brilliant mutually beneficial solution to both their problems. He knows this is the perfect answer for everything all he has to do is convince Stacia. Shouldn’t be too hard, right?
Stacia is a great girl. She’s beautiful and as vibrant as her tattoos and piercings and wild red hair. She’s super stress and desperately trying to help her family. When one of her best friends, West offers to help her out, she can’t help but to jump on it. When he asks her to be the incubator aka “baby mama” for his baby, she puts the brakes down. Her immediate response is ABSOLUTELY NOT. He’s not backing down though. Will she be able to resist West when he puts it all on the line and shows her just how good it can be?
This fabulously flowing story told in dual POV’s will melt you right into a puddle of goo. With West and his sinful smiles and Stacia’s sexy smokin sassiness your in for treat after deliciously hot treat. I couldn’t get enough of these amazingly addictive characters. West, Stacia and even Brock and AJ from Rebel Heart will keep you hanging on every single word. Be ready to run the gamut of emotions folks. I laughed a lot, cried a little, fanned myself a lot, and totally super swooned.
*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book!

Cliffhanger Warning- HEA #PERFECTION
#2/35
I have to say Rebel Soul surprised me. I wasn’t that into it in the beginning but once the two main characters were on page together, I couldn’t put the book down! I ended up reading it in one sitting and I adored West and Stacia. They were perfect together and the push and pull between the two of them was what made this book so good. I liked the side characters and I loved the arranged baby part about this book. I highly recommend this book if you like arranged baby and friends to lovers romances that have a strong focus on family, friends, and the dynamic of relationships!
Really loved this book. West is the perfect book boyfriend all in one package. He’s sweet, kind, so loving and he’ll do anything once he realizes that he loves Stacia. He’s swoon worthy. These two were so good together. They just meshed so well. This book had it all. One of Kate’s best so far.
Stacia and West are friends and totally different from each other. They are both going through some intense times. When Stacia needs a place to stay West and her become roommates. Then they start to become more. Great characters and storyline. Highly recommended. This book was awesome.
Absolutely amazing. I loved this book so much. I loved the drama, sass, emotions. Just everything. I enjoyed reading this book from start to finish. I didn’t want it to end I was enjoying it that much. The storyline was interesting and the characters were really enjoyable to read about. I absolutely loved it.

If you’re into sexy CEO’s, spitfire heroines, and BABIES then this arranged baby rom-com IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!
Although falling in love for West and Stacia wasn’t fast, it sure was furious.
LK Farlow has done it again and brought us a swoon-worthy hero and kickass heroine. This novel will hit you right in the feels as you read about the strength of Stacia Kellan and the old-world charm of West Larson.
With a “small” stipulation set in his trust fund, West Larson finds himself looking for a baby mama before he turns twenty-five. Little did he know that person would be his long-time friend Stacia Kellan. With a business proposition and an extra bedroom, West and Stacia strike up a deal.
Stacia will stop at nothing to support her family. When circumstances beyond her control threaten the security of her family, Stacia searches for anything to help her family out of the hole. With the encouragement of an incredible and, at times, overbearing best friend, Stacia must accept West’s offer.
The constant push and pull between our main characters is beyond addicting, and it immediately sucks you into their world of General Tso’s tacos (yum) and Superbad. LK Farlow has ensured that you will be laughing, crying, and falling in love with their story almost as fast as the cars they drive.
I devoured this novel, and I can’t wait to reread it! LK is such a talented storyteller and writes with so much enthusiasm you can’t help but consider these characters your friends! I absolutely loved this book, and I highly recommend Rebel Soul as well as Rebel Heart, which is about Stacia’s best-friend, AJ, and her other half, Brock. As standard in all LK’s novels, happily-ever-after— guaranteed!
A beautiful, entertaining book that was a breeze to read. I flew through it and loved every minute and easily fell in love with the main characters.
An inheritance clause leads to an arranged baby and it all gets wrapped up in a happily ever after.
Title: Rebel Soul
Author: L.K. Farlow
Genre: Contemporary romance
My rating: 4.5
————————————-
My favorite L.K. Farlow book of 2020! I tried to think of what to say when writing this review. SWOONWORTHY comes to mind. As well as fun, intoxicating laugh out loud entertainment.
Loved Stacia and West together. They were the perfect “Frienemies” who’d built a love affair in very unconventional circumstances.
West is rich; waiting on his inheritance when he gets the most ridiculous ultimatum: have an heir before he turns 25.
The prospects are slim. Not because he’s abhorrent. But because of his stature, he has a hard time trusting anyone.
Insert Stacia his longtime friend (ish). He shoots his shot and asks the feisty beauty for her assistance in the matter. Only to get a big whopping NO!
Will Stacia agree to West’s terms? Will these two have their happy ending?
Find out yourself! Worth reading!
*I recieved this ARC in exchange for an honest review *
West was a surprise to me. I was expecting a cocky, arrogant, alpha. He wasn’t. I mean, every man can have their moments, but for being wealthy he wasn’t a stereotype at all. I loved how different he and Stacia were, but how alike they were too. He treated her like a queen and made sure she was always protected. I love the fight Stacia had: for her family and do to what was right by them. She was fierce and lovely and stayed true to herself. Loved it!
Just like all LK Farlow books, I get sucked in and don’t even want to be let go. Rebel Soul is everything I love about Farlow’s writing and then some.
