“I’ll be keeping my emotions under sturdy lock and key. I’ll use sex to draw them closer, to get them to deliver my plan, but my heart won’t be invested. I can’t afford for it to be especially where all trust is now shattered. “
Poor Harlow. Her trust in the Sainthood boys have been destroyed thanks to Galen. Her determination to kill Sinner is her number one priority. However, The dynamic between Lo and her boys change quite a bit during this book as they all rehash the past and try to remain strong as a team.
“Why does God punish good, kind people over and over, yet evil pieces of shit like Sinner Lennox get to stroll around the place on unencumbered by his sins and his many crimes?”
I’m pretty sure this is what readers are think all throughout this book.
Once we see Harlow and her boys find more answers the book ends up with a huge cliffhanger. I like this book quite a bit more than the first book. It kept my attention for sure and help me understand side characters better like Harlow‘s mother who I hated in the first book.

- much less compelling than the last one
- offers more insight into certain relationships and why they are the way they are
- the sex kind of just gets a bit repetitive
- i hate Saint, he is just an asshole and doesn’t respect the FMC’s autonomy
- subtle hints at MM but still no acting on it whatsoever or even coming close
- FMC was still a badass but still forgave the men a bit too quickly in some ways imo, like the female version of pussywhipped
- the guys beating Galen to a pulp for making a (albeit big) mistake just felt very toxic, especially with how bad they hurt him like that

I was on pins and needles waiting for this book! Counting down the hours until it went live and hit my Kindle and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Oh. My. Gosh.
I absolutely LOVED it and can't wait for book 3! I love these characters SO much though that I'm going to be sad to see it come to an eventual end; I'm crossing my fingers that somehow the author will find a way to bring us more from them in the future though!

"Ready to bleed for me now, Galen?
Yes, I'm ready to live for you, Lo."
Rebellion is the second book in this contemporary, new adult, RH series and continued where it ends from that major of a cliffhanger of book one. This next installment lived up to my expectations.
Betrayal cuts so deep and I loved that Harlow had to make the guys work for her forgiveness. Harlow stayed true to her character as our badass chick but loyal to those who earned her love and trust. I loved that we see the vulnerable side to Harlow- her fears and insecurities- as she slowly let the men through her walls. At this point, a united front will be very important for them to establish if they are to put their plan into action. I also loved that I got to learn the backstories of some of the guys.
There were some surprising revelations and I'm curious to know how it will affect their love story. Expect a lot of action and steamy scenes from Harlow and the guys, they sure didn't disappoint! The story ends with another, major cliffhanger that had my heart thumping like mad! Reign can't come soon enough.

Harlow is becoming more immersed with the saints. There’s a lot of questions surrounding her trainer and it seems like the saints are in deeper water than gang rivalries. She has to cope with the truth behind gailen’s hatred towards her and find some middle ground with Theo.
I’m a little disappointed with this series. The character development just isn’t where it could be. Plus, there seems to be too much going on. The over all goal is to take down sinner but there’s too many side plots. We have the trainer mystery, revelations about Harlow’s dad, darrows gang, the bulls, sinner, her relationship with the guys, the gang tasks they must perform at school, Harlow’s mom and the questions regarding her knowledge, Harlow’s initiation tasks, Bryan, and I’m probably forgetting a few. Side plots are okay if there aren’t too many at one time.
I’ll continue listening to the next books because I used my audible credit for it but I probably would’ve dnfed it otherwise.
If you’re used to the character development of Rina Kent, Ashley Rosnek, R A Smyth, or K G Reuss, you’ll probably be disappointed with this one.

That’s how you leave me!?
June/July, I need you right now.
Rebellion is book two in The Sainthood: Boys of Lowell High series. It picks up right where book one left off.
Harlow came through like the bad ass she is and the boys have no choice but to bow to her.
I love watching the relationship between the Saints and Harlow deepen to an impenetrable bond.
Also, the multi POVs are everything. Being inside the head of every one of the guys makes you just fall even harder.
Sex, scandal, deception, and lies galore...book two gut punched you with more shocking jaw dropping twists and unexpected heartbreak that leaves your world upside down. I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.

Lo is one lucky bitch and this a one hell of a ride. I’ve literally devoured the first 2 books and can’t wait to start book 3.
This story is crazy intense, Lo is a MC that’s bad ass and doesn’t annoy me. The guys are awesome. I love all of them, but I have to say Gaylon and all the baggage is my jam.
This story has so much going on it is hard to keep up at times only because it’s so fast paced which I love. It’s keeping me on my toes. Now I was worried after finishing book 1 that this wasn’t going to be an RH, because the focus was mostly on Lo and Saints relationship. But soooo much has happened throughout book 2 that I can’t definitely say it’s an RH for sure and I’m loving the dynamic!
If your an audio fan I highly recommend the audio books! I’m loving the narrators.

HO-LY.... what a ride.
I don't think I have devoured a book so quickly before. It's fast paced, twisted and deliciously dirty (in all the best ways) and I'm loving the new dynamics with the characters.
I'm dying for the next book.

WOOOWWWWWWW my eyes could not read this book fast enough. I seriously love the building of each relationship in this second book so much. This was even more jam packed with chaos than the first one and I couldn’t put it down!
