HARLOW I thought I knew the truth, but I didn’t.Secrets surround me, every aspect of my life was a lie.The Bishop brothers are the only beacon of light in my dark world. They’re the only ones that can protect me, the only ones that truly care for me.I have the leverage I need to escape my father’s clutches, to fight back, but when the truth comes out, and the puzzle pieces of our pasts start to … puzzle pieces of our pasts start to come together… I’m left wondering if we’ll ever get our happily ever after.
BANKS
We couldn’t watch her marry a man she doesn’t love.
We had to do something, even if it was drastic and completely reckless.
Loving a Lockwood is forbidden, taboo, wrong in so many ways, but we don’t care about what our father or anyone else thinks. All we care about is Harlow.
She belongs with us and we’ll do everything in our power to keep her safe… everything to free her from the hold her family has on her.
To us she’s not just a Lockwood and we’re not Bishops stuck in the same vicious cycle of hate and love.
We’ll get our happily ever after no matter the price.

OMG! What a way for this series to end! I loved it! It was so exciting! I was on the edge of my seat until the end! It was action packed with twists and turns you won’t see coming! I loved Harlow, Oliver, Sullivan and Banks. They were perfect together! Secrets are revealed and it all starts to make sense.
When Rivals Love was the perfect ending for Harlow and her men!
This is the final book in Harlow, Banks, Oliver and Sullivan story. This book is not a standalone and these books must be read in order. What a epic, intense roller coaster ride this journey has been. I really enjoyed this gripping tale. Deep emotions, shocking revelations, drama, danger, jaw-dropping twists and steamy passion easily pull you into this tale and keep you fully focused on it. I loved this terrific series and highly recommend it.
Intense. Resolution and closure at long suffering last!! Like most readers that come to the end of this trilogy, I’m elated with the way things turned out. but a bit bereft to know it’s all over and done now with a hea ending. It’s like coming back to earth after a natural high-
welcome but emotionally exhausted * huge sigh* Many heart stopping and soul shattering moments in this story. Buckle up and hold on tight for the final ride. because it’s not a smooth one at all, but you will love it as much as I did. Check it out. Is it really the end???
This is the last book of the series and I personally hate to see it end. I loved each and every one of these characters the things they have to go through in the twists and turns they make it out of makes this one heck of a story that you don’t want to miss. We got answers to the questions we’ve had throughout the story and the steamy scenes unbelievably good. These two authors never fail to deliver amazing work I have loved each and every book I’ve read of theirs and this is no different. Again the things we find out and learn in this book about Harlow’s family have you on the edge of your seat especially when it comes to her mother, her father, and even Matt!! Definitely did not expect that with Matt and it did change my perspective towards him. The story literally had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next being full of danger at every corner and wondering who truly wanted to hurt Hollow. And that’s not even get started on the Love Story between the bishop Brothers and Harlow it’s one that definitely makes you swoon. I can’t wait to see what’s to come from these two wonderful authors I know it’ll be nothing short of amazing!
This is the 3rd book in this phenomenal series, and what an amazing masterpiece this is!! Harlow and the Bank’s brothers stole my heart from the very beginning. This is a beautifully written thrilling story which has an intricate plot, and is intense, with twists, danger, suspense, and an abundance of love. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and these gifted authors’ have certainly poured their heart and souls into this series. I highly recommend for all readers! Bravo Ladies!!
I loved Harlow, Banks, Oliver and Sullivan so many ch many twist and urns I enjoyed every moment from book one till now so sad that it ended I was hoping there is more to come
The long awaited finale is here. This was such a. Good series that I’m sad to see it end, but also happy. We finally get all the answers we had questions to. Harlow has been getting her memory back and found out some interesting information in the last book. Her parents need to be institutionalized, they want to control her and have her marry Matt. They are willing to threaten anything to get this to happen. The information she has uncovered has put her and the guys in even more danger. Sullivan, Banks and Oliver are putting everything on the line to keep Harlow safe. They are still strongly connected despite her family’s meddling. The suspense and twists and turns will keep you glued to your seat and wonder what will happen next. I loved this series and all of these characters. I hope Caroline gets her own story and that we’ll see these characters again. Don’t pass up on this series.
Wonderful ending to this series! This RH has kept my attention from the first page! The twist at the end of this series was a wow moment! If you are looking for an awesome RH read, this will hit the spot!
JL Beck and C Hallman send us on another wild ride in book three! Please make sure you read When Rivals Fall and When Rivals Lose before coming into book three!!
Harlow and the Bishop Brother’s have not had it easy. It seems like, as soon as they start to feel comfortable and think things have slowed down.. Josi and Cassy throw in an epic twist.
Twists and turns. This book is full of them. Don’t get comfortable because whatever you thought was going to happen, won’t. What you think you know, forget it. Get ready for more steamy Bishop brothers, dangerous villains, and a ride *wink, wink* you don’t want to miss!
I hate to see this series come to an end, but I can’t wait to see what the duet bring next!!
This was the perfect conclusion to Harlow and the Bishop brothers’ story. I’m not a big fan of reverse harem and this trilogy has totally converted me. I loved every bit of it. The characters were amazing. Some I hated and some I loved. Beck and Hallman developed them so well I felt like I knew them all. The twists and turns were crazy and had me holding my breath to see what was going to happen. I will definitely be recommending these books to everyone!
Harlow and her three loves!
by sewsummore
Harlow is a young woman caught in a battle between two business rivals who were once the best of friends. The three Bishop boys have been there for me whenever she needed them, they protect her and love her and she loves them in return. Their relationship is a loving sexual one that other people do not understand. This book continues from book two. I have not read the earlier books and I wish I had before reading this book as I felt confused at times. I still enjoyed this book and the deep loving relationship between the three brothers and Harlow made perfect sense, despite the snide remarks made by some of her classmates. I soon became aware of what an evil, manipulative father she had and was glad that she wanted nothing to do with him.

Oh my goodness. Finally, we get the conclusion of Harlow and her Bishop boys. This is a wild ride with still some twists and turns thrown in that you won’t know where they came from. But finally, Harlow and her boys will stop at nothing to be together and get out of their families’ clutches. Such a great conclusion!

J.L. Beck and C. Hallman know how to write an all-consuming story and I loved it. When Rivals Love had me excited from the blurb and once I started there was no putting it down.
When Rivals Love is the final book of the Bayshore series and it packed a punch! From enthralling suspense to an addictive romance to all the delicious steam (have a cold drink or something to fan yourself with handy…wow!), everything just worked so so well. I really liked how everything was tied together and I’m excited to read more from these authors. I won’t say more for fear of spoilers, but I’d definitely recommend.
My Review:
Coming to a close
When I first stumbled upon when Rivals series, I thought it was going to be just another cookie cutter enemy to lover’s romance story. Little did I know that this was more about a family rivalry that’s been engrained from parents to children. We start to learn that the children who have been used as pawns start to pull away from the hate and find love amongst themselves. Is love from the Bishop boys all that Harlow needs to keep her from falling part when the truth is learned? It’s a perfect close to a trilogy and you learn about the secrets along with twist and turns, and just when you think its safe, they are thrown for another loop.
My Summary:
How do you put all the pieces together in your life when you don’t even know where to begin looking for answers? You know that your father isn’t spilling the truth, and his hate for the Bishop’s is blinding him to think clearly. You seek answers from the one person who you never thought you could turn to. But life doesn’t seem to want you to have anything easy as it fights you tooth and nail around every corner. Harlow is just trying to get answers and people seem to want her dead. She has to look over her shoulder constantly as threats keep popping up. Her love for the Bishop’s boys is growing, and something happens that may turn things for the better or leave her picking up the pieces of her life. Its time to pick a side and fight for what you love.
Phenomenal and Intense Conclusion!
OMG!! This is one very intense and phenomenal conclusion to the Bayshore Rivals series. I was literally on the edge of my seat in complete and utter shock from beginning to end. These amazing authors did not hold back with the shock and awe!!! FANTASTIC!!!
Harlow has gone through hell and back to be with the men she loves. It is amazing how strong she has become with all of the damage that has been done to her. She is fierce and determined to make her life better and not let anyone hold her back and make decisions for her anymore.
Favorite Harlow quote: “To many, I might be weak, but I am mighty, and if I want answers, I may have to cross bridges that shouldn’t be crossed. I may have to do things that I shouldn’t do, but I’ll do what I need to do. No one is going to dictate what happens in my life anymore.” DAMN she is a fighter!!!
The heat on these pages is explosive and titillating. This whole series has been one hell of an emotional and intense roller coaster ride. Highly recommend this whole series.
Wow! Where do I start. I adored this Trilogy and book 3 was so well written full of hidden secrets were discovered lives changed forever.
Harlow’s life is still in constant danger from all sides.
The Bishop brothers Sullivan Oliver and Banks are the complete package. Alpha sweet caring and adorable.
This has been at times hard to read being a bully based read, however as the secrets are revealed what remains is pure love.
This story has you feeling all the emotions the characters are complex amazing emotional and awesome. Highly recommended read.
I Received this ARC from Author for Honest Review.
I Give this Book a 3.5-4/5 Star Rating, listing as 4.
No Spoilers.
I had a little bit of trouble rating this book honestly, this was a wildly fast paced read that I finished it within just a few hours, and there was more Smexy and The Predicting Became a tad bid too easy in some areas.
Even though this is a good read and a good finish to the trilogy, this one felt a bit rushed (Like writing under the gun) and the plot seemed a bit lacking in its usual intense drama feel.
Heat: 3.5-4/5, it sadly felt filler like in a few areas.
Romance: 3.5-4/5, I know it’s there but it felt crammed and felt unimportant in some areas.
Suspense:3-3.5/5
Drama: 3.5-4/5, The drama in the book was god in a few spots, but some areas just felt unfinished.
Predictability: 3.5-4/5
HEA(?): Yes 🙂
Overall Feel: when I closed the book I was happy don’t get me wrong, but it felt too rushed that I can’t deny that I felt a little let down.
I those these two Authors work, I will continue and definitely look forward to reading the future books.

4*
The story continues with Harlow still unable to trust she’s been lied to by her parents and wants answers her memory is coming back in pieces and is desperate for them to return in full. Banks, Sullivan and Oliver are even more protective over her but she’s still frightened for them.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
A well written conclusion.
