All I wanted was a little trouble. Okay, so maybe choosing Cruz Donovan’s 18th birthday party wasn’t the way to go about it. Three years ago, I fell for him. I thought he fell for me too. But when he broke it off, he took my heart and, as if that wasn’t enough, he took my best friends too. They aren’t the same boys I knew before high school started. They’ve got all kinds of secrets they’re … they’re keeping from me. If I want back in, I’ve got to be ready to play their game. I might be a killer soccer player, but I’m not real eager to join a team when they won’t tell me who the opponent is, how to score a goal, or what rules I’m supposed to be following.
I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time, a pawn in games I don’t understand. Maybe I never should have gone looking for trouble in the first place. Is it too late to change my mind?
This boxed set contains the complete Defiance Falls Trilogy: (1) Defiance Falls (2) Defiance Falls Revolution and (3) Defiance Falls War.

I really enjoyed the entire set. Chaz and Hazel are a match made in heaven. I loved that despite their differences, they still had a close relationship years later. I loved that the family became a unit and that the most that mattered was support for one another. I loved that it was not overly sexed. This has the perfect amount of physical chemistry as well as emotional. This book took me for a ride that I was totally not ready for. I’m so glad to read from this author and can’t wait to see what’s next!

This box set includes three books in the series: Defiance Falls, Defiance Falls Revolution and Defiance Falls War.
First book introduces us to Hazel, a high school senior who has a 4.0 and can play soccer and is all round great student. She seems to have gotten herself in the middle of two notorious families: the Donovan’s and Malones families. Many secrets that need to be discovered yet. Various mysteries, illegal activities and uncovered secrets abound within these three books. Not wanting to explain too much to give away the plot but I thoroughly enjoyed these stories as it isn’t just about teen angst but has a great storyline too.

This is a long one as it is the complete trilogy all in one convenient place! If you love reading about teenage angst and the crazy lives of high school athletes then you will enjoy this book! Life in a small town like Defiance Falls can be extremely dangerous, especially for the exceptionally talented soccer players and the underlying feud between rival families. I liked being able to read the completed series…non stop! Nice!

Ms. Dean spins a tale within the three books of warring Irish and the Malone Mafia. The books revolve around the love story of Hazel and Cruz. Hazel’s father is a hacker that worked for the Irish Mafia for years and realizes the deception and crimes that are happening and works to manipulate the data to stop the crimes without exposing himself and his family. The trilogy is spun between the three books without the readers having to wait between each story. I loved the intrigue and love between Hazel and Cruz. These books only made me want to read more of Ms. Dean’s work. These books were a terrific read.

Clear your day and binge!!!
This is an excellent series that checks a lot of boxes. If you enjoy Young Adult Sports stories or romance, check. If you love a suspenseful read with twists and turns, check again. And if you can’t live without Bully Romance, it’s got that too. Add in Ali Dean as the author of this fantastic series and you should be one-clicking. 5 Fabulous Stars!

If you like suspense and intrigue, drama and angst, then you will want to read the Defiance Falls trilogy. In this case, you don’t need to worry about the cliffhanger because one book goes straight to the other.
Book One… Defiance Falls
Something very strange is going on and it seems to be revolving around Hazel Ross, a high school superstar. She excels in everything. Her grades are 4.0+, she’s a soccer phenom and she is somehow in the middles of a feud between two family empires. … Cruz Donovan’s family and the Malones. As usual, family empires don’t grow for generations by being on the straight and narrow. Secrets, secrets and more secrets are maintained and protected. These may be high school students but they are far from innocent. The good guys and the bad guys face off. Answers are sought, demanded … even if getting those answers means kidnapping and drugging the innocent and unaware.
Book Two…. Revolution
Things start to really heat up. Secrets finally are revealed and Hazel learns about the Malones…. the crime ridden dangerous Malones, the Malones that have used her as a pawn since her childhood. As she learns more and more secrets, battle lines are drawn. This is not some simple jealousy between two powerful families…. this is good vs evil, winner takes all. And Hazel’s revenge? Priceless.
Book Three… War
United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Here’s a BIG hint…. They don’t fall.
But getting there isn’t easy. There is revenge, attempted murder, shootings and enemies behind every street light. Hazel and Cruz have some rough times, in every way imaginable. While I love Hazel’s taste for vengeance, I love even better that the Malones finally get to meet a long, lost relative who wields her own form of justice. Her name is Karma. And Karma is a beauty.
OBSERVATIONS:
… Often I would find myself skimming because some of the characters were too immature. I had to keep reminding myself that these are only teenagers so I couldn’t expect adult behavior. However, they are involved in a very scary, adult world so that made me cringe at the immaturity. At times, in book one, I wanted to jump in between those pages and tell Hazel to grow up. Yes, she was out in the cold when it came to knowing things, but her childish actions didn’t lend credence here.
… I also skimmed when the script seemed to too windy and detailed or drug on when it didn’t matter. Hence the four starts.
… I kept wondering about Hazel’s mother…. wondered if she ever would show up. Wondered if she ever thought about her daughter. But, that might be for another book.

Having the trilogy box set is great because this is a story that leaves you hanging until the next book. In the 1st book I was so confused with all the secrets. The 2nd book gave you a little more and the 2 main characters get a chance to finally be together. By the 3rd book it all comes together and you will be amazed by it. I didn’t want to give any spoilers. So enjoy and read!

All I can say is WOW! These books are amazing! And to get them all together in one boxed set, is the best thing since sliced bread lol but really you’ll definitely thank me once you start the first book, you’ll be glad you bought the box set!
Spent the entire weekend reading all 3 books! Completely addicting!!
Caution! Warning! Combustible! This nail-biting, intriguing, and intense trilogy with leave you breathless. Clear your schedule. This is a “pulling an all-nighter” type of series. Ali Dean brings new meaning to “one more chapter” and turns it into “one more book!” The Defiance Falls crew is a strong group of seniors that are ready to take their town back and nothing will stop them. Hazel is a powerful and forceful heroine that you will envy. Cruz is a raw, drool-worthy, bad boy that knows what he wants. Book one in the series will have you craving more. Book two will have you ready to join the crew and fight. While book three leaves
your battle of wills warring to read faster with desperation to finish or slowing down so it doesn’t have to end! A must-have series for those that crave true love, desire fighting for what you want, and yearn for an unputdownable addiction.
