This story will have you on the edge of your seat with anticipation waiting to see what happens next. It will have you aahing, oohing, nail biting, cussing, wanting to more than punch a few people and having you change your panties and take a cold shower all by the time finish.

When Rivals Fall – 5 stars
Harlow leaves her parents to attend college as far away as possible. She found out they were manipulating her into damaging the reputation of a rival family. She ended up hurting Sullivan pretty badly and now she finds herself in the clutches of him and his two brothers, Banks and Oliver. They are all three planning on making Harlow’s life a living nightmare. This is the first book in this series so it does end with one h*ll of a cliffhanger. I’m looking forward to finding out what happens to Harlow next.
When Rivals Lose – 5 stars
With all the crap that has been going on in Harlow’s life she doesn’t know what to think or who to trust. Can she trust the Bishop brothers; Sullivan, Oliver and Banks? Or are they just out to cause her more heart break, humiliation and pain? What about her parents or her best friend, Shelby, can they be trusted? This book is so intriguing, suspenseful and heart breaking. I started reading and couldn’t put it down until the very end.I

Excellent box set and 5 Stars all the way through. Definitely a great read and I highly recommend it!
OMFG!! This is such a good series. While reading this I had so many emotions flowing through me. My heart broke for what Harlow had to go through. There were so many people who deserved to be throat punched and smacked upside the head. Her parents need to be institutionalized, they are a couple of crazies. The boys messed up, but they work to prove to Harlow they want her and will do what it takes to get her to believe them.
There is suspense, lies, deceit, secrets, rivalry , heartache, danger and enemies. The twists and turns will make you go, WTHeck is going on!! There are a few of those WTH moments. Banks, Oliver and Sullivan want to do everything and anything to keep Harlow safe. They have such a strong connection and it gets stronger as their story progresses and their chemistry is off the charts hot. This storyline is fantastic and I love all the main characters. It kept me on the edge of my seat waiting for what was going to happen next. Don’t pass up on this box set.
