HARLOW Darkness surrounds me. Who am I? I don’t remember anything. Every memory of my life gone. I wake in a hospital not knowing my own name. I don’t know these people who claim to be my parents, but they take care of me, they show me pictures… and introduce me to my fiancé? I guess I was living a perfect life before my accident. I had it all, so I try to remember. I try to keep living my life, … I try to keep living my life, but I can’t shake the feeling that something is off. I’m noticing things are not adding up. I’m catching people around me lying and I know something is terribly wrong.
It seems like my memory is not the only thing missing…
SULLIVAN
How could I have been so stupid? How could I have let them play me like this? This is all my fault. I hurt her, I let this happen, and now she is in her parents clutches again. Even worse, she doesn’t remember anything… she doesn’t remember us.
I hate my parents for playing their part in this and my brothers hate me for playing mine. I need to fix this. I need to make my brothers forgive me so we can save her, we need to make her remember what kind of people her parents really are… before it’s too late.
The only question is, if she remembers… will she ever forgive me?

I always know with this author that she will pull me in, break my heart and bbn put it back together. This book did that to me from beginning to end.
Yes, the surprises continues in the next part of such a suspenseful bully romance. I’ve been patiently waiting for this and I was not disappointed. Harlow and her Bishop boys find themselves in more of a mess and their relationship takes a sharp turn with more twists and suspicion makes for an enjoyable read. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
When Rivals Lose is addicting, suspenseful and intriguing. This story has so many unexpected twists and turns. We pick up after the accident with Harlow in the hospital with no memory. Will she remember or will it be too late? Will she sacrifice her own wants and needs to save the one’s she loves? This was a great second book that kept me hooked from the beginning to end. Can’t wait to get my hands on book three!!
I can not take all the suspense of this book! When Rivals Lose is the continuing story of Harlow and the Bishop brothers; Sullivan, Banks, and Oliver. The book starts after Harlow has been in an accident and doesn’t remember anything about her life. She doesn’t know who is lying, who is telling the truth, who is out to hurt her, and who wants to keep her safe. Her gut feelings lead her one direction, but the people surrounding her all have different stories. Thus book is filled with secrets and lies and tension and delicious heat and I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! The cliffhanger ending was brutal and I need more if this story right now!
Wow, just wow!! When Rivals Lose is all kinds of twists, turns and omg hot AF steamy times *fans self*! Poor Harlow is really not having and easy time of it. With no member, she has no idea who she can trust. Can she trust the sexy Bishop brothers, who say they love her? Can she trust her parents, who don’t seem to have her best interests at heart? What about her best friend? The suspense is killing me!! I can’t wait for book 3!!
*note: you must read book 1, When Rivals Fall, before you read this book.
Absolutely Amazing !! This book feed all my emotions. It’s twist and turns that kept me captivated and riveted to every page. A dark and twisted storyline that kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I couldn’t put it down. The end left me reeling and wanting more. I can’t wait for the next book I definitely recommend this story to anyone looking for a awesome read
J.L. Beck & C.Hallman are such an incredible writing team.
You always know that their books are worth all the money you are investing in reading them, in fact, probably worth more.
When Rivals Lose starts off right where they left off, after Harlow’s accident, when she had been hit by a car, and from what it seems, this was no accident.
Because of her accident, Harlow is unable to remember anything. She has bits and pieces of memory pop up every now and then, but there isn’t anything too significant.
Because of her memory loss, she ends up back in her parent’s clutches yet again. They proceed to use this loss as a way to take control of their daughter again, and use her to better their business, and reputation.
Thankfully, Banks, Oliver, and Sullivan are in no way going to allow anyone to take Harlow away from them. These three have come to the realization that the feud between their families isn’t what they one thought it was, and that their feelings for Harlow and her safety will forever trump the issues their families have with one another.
Harlow finds herself deeper and deeper, gathering more of her memories, and finding out secrets that you NEVER would see coming. &When I say NEVER, I promise, your minds will be BLOWN.
So, dive back into J.L. Beck & C.Hallman’s newest masterpiece of an addition, to their Bayshore Rival’s series, and get lost in the twists and turns that you will never expect.
I promise, this series is one that you are going to want to continue with. The romance and steam combined with the mystery and suspense, create such a well rounded, incredible story that you can’t help but get caught up in.
This is the type of series that I absolutely love, and I feel that I am not going to be the only one who completely adores this series.
When Rival’s Lose fully deserves the 5 star recommendation that I gave it, and I am barely hanging out while waiting for when book 3 will be released. I NEED answers.
Btw, while yes there is a cliffhanger(&it is a pretty gigantic one), it is SO SOOOO worth the read, and the wait until book 3 releases!
Congrats to Josi Beck & Cassy Hallman on their amazing new release!
OMG! I love this series!
It has a great storyline and fantastic characters with so many twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat! The cliffhanger had me begging for more! Josie and Cassandra have written another fantastic book in the Bayshore Rivals series! The next book can’t get here fast enough for me!
Lies. Betrayal. Secrets.
When Rivals Lose is Book TWO in the Bayshore Rivals series. It is very important that you read book one, When Rivals Fall, BEFORE reading book two.
When Rivals Lose picks up right where we left off in When Rivals Fall. Harlow is facing the challenge of recovering her memory after being caught in a hit and run. She remembers nothing. Not her past. Not the Bishop Brothers. Not her ‘fiance’.
I have been aching to read more of Harlow and the Bishop Brothers, Banks, Sullivan, and Oliver. Their chemistry is so so hot and it is so fun to read. **sighhhh** Yes.. I am slightly.. Okay.. A LOT jealous of Harlow and her relationship with them. They are broody, possessive, protective, alphaholes who have dirty minds and dirty mouths.
I am ready for the next book. I am so so so READY. I know When Rivals Lose hasn’t even released yet, but I want more. I neeeeeed it! Give me all the Words Josi and Cassy. I’m ready. I want them. I need them. I need to know what happens next!!
When Rivals Lose was a fantastic read that has left me wanting more! I can’t wait to see where the duo take me next!!
Twisted page-turner with fast paced intense plot
After finishing this book I must admit that I have love-hate relationship with the cliffhangers. I hate them because I can’t wait for more but in the same time I love them as they let my imagination run wild and conjure up different scenarios. And this cliffhanger is just epic. It ends abruptly and leaves you in the dark about what can happen in the next part.
I literally loved every single aspect of this book. The mystery, the suspense, the betrayal, web of intricately weaved lies and manipulating villains. Looks like our main characters are just the pawns in some greater scheme but who knows really until the conclusion. I can only speculate. The plot is twisted and each time I though we are getting closer to solve the unknown there’s another turn. I loved the steamy, sexy scenes and Sullivan, who from the anti-hero slowly becomes a hero and the guy I’d like for Harlow to have HEA with.
This was a great sequel to the first book which left the reader gasping at the end. Filled with regret the boys try to regroup. Her family begins pulling strings once again. Our favorite female lead is smarter than they think and you are left with a compelling sequel as the story is revealed. I couldn’t wait for this book and the author didn’t disappoint. I loved it. I’m waiting with great anticipation for the next book. Recommend
You need to read When Rivals Fall before reading this book. OMFG!!! What did I just read!? I am a ball of emotions after finishing it. I have been taken on one emotional rollercoaster ride. Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down. The lies, deception, secrets, heartache just keeping coming and coming. The twists in this book will leave you gasping and the end will make you go WTH!? Harlow is back in her parents clutches and has no memory of her past due to the accident. The Bishop brothers aren’t doing well either. Banks and Oliver are pissed at Sullivan and he’s also pissed at himself. They need to work together to get Harlow back. The scenes between Harlow and the brothers is soooo hot. I am so glad that Sullivan has redeemed himself, because I was not happy with him at all at the end of WRF. They not only have amazingly hot scenes, they also have a strong connection. That didn’t go away just because Harlow lost her memory. These four deserve to be together, and I cannot wait to get the answers to the many questions I have now. This is an amazing book and you do not want to miss our on it or this series. I love the story and the characters. There are some characters that just want to drop kick, throat punch and smack around.
This story just keeps getting better and better. This continues shortly after the first one. It has so much drama and mystery in it. Harlow is going through so much in this one. She has so much to work through due to her accident in the first one. We see a lot less of the Bishops but learn so much about her family that it leaves you spinning. It is a story that is gripping and beautifully written. The characters have these amazing personalities that is felt throughout the story. You can just picture all of this playing out because it is beautifully developed. This is definitely worth reading and yes, it does end in a cliffhanger so I can’t wait for the next one.

I love this book, but I can’t stand that it ends with a cliffhanger. One more book and this finally has a good ending or not, but enough with the cliffhangers! In the previous book it leaves Harlow with amnesia as she was hit by a car as someone is trying to kill her. So, in this book she is trying to remember things, but her parents are able to take her home and force her to marry someone else all due to business. Many secrets are being discovered as both the Bishop boys and she are seeking the truth as to what feuded between both fathers to create this rivalry. The book is good, but I would prefer it to end already. I don’t like being kept in suspense; I like my happily ever after if one is there. The book has a lot of excitement and steamy scenes, but who is trying to kill her!

So I had to go back and reread the first book [book: When Rivals Fall|46813325] because this story starts right where the first one ended. It was no hardship to read the first book since it is so damn good anyway, but on to this book.
I honestly didn’t think J.L and Cassandra could top it, but they did when Rivals Lose blew me away. I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry, twists and turns, and anguish that the characters go through in this book is what makes people want to read. Of course, there is happiness also, but you have to wait for it and just when you get to it bam you are in for another surprise. This series of books need to be read.
I can’t wait for the next installment!!
Left in critical condition after the hit and run, her memories gone her life once again in her parents hands.
Devestated they have lost her once again, the boys need, and want to reclaim her, but how can they get to her is the question, and will she remember them?
Oh!! I dont know where to start, my head is still spinning from all that I just read!
This is a direct continuation from When Rivals Fall so you really do need to read that first.
The Bishop boys are back and if you didnt think they were hot in book one you most certainly will by the end of this!
Above the law to save their hearts, to save the girl to protect her, oh my gosh swoon swoon swoon!
Sullivan, Oliver and Banks testorone galore but so sweet and thoughtful with it too!
Harlow so divided in what’s fact and fiction, friend or foe. So many questions all with answers unreachable.
Shes so vulnerable in a dangerous world!
The Queens have done it again, with another fantastic read, and a delectable cliffhanger at the end. Dont throw your gadgets guys count to ten instead!
I cant wait to see where the story will go to next it’s all so super exciting!!!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
I just finished this 2nd book in the series and let me tell you it only gets better. After the end of book 1 were Harlow get hurt and loses her memory she’s brought back home to nothing but lies. Until she finds a way to get back to collage and the Bishop brothers she has no idea of who she was in the past. She has a couple flash backs but it’s not enough. That’s when things start to get more interesting. I don’t want to give to many clues away so your definitely going to have to check this book out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed. I received this book as an arc for free in return for an honest review
