The harmony they create together may not be enough…

Rocker Jesse Pike’s chance at fame may be ruined when his drummer ends up out of commission. Jesse blames himself. If he’d been with his friend instead of shacking up with Brianna Steel, none of this would be happening. Now their big break as the opening act for Emerald Phoenix on a hugely publicized tour of Europe may end as they’re technically in breach of contract.

Brianna also blames herself. She put herself between Jesse and his band for purely selfish reasons, and now Jesse and his drummer are paying the price. She desperately wants to fix things, but she doesn’t know how.

Circumstances aren’t always what they seem, though, and a surprise admission from a trusted friend plus the arrival of a newcomer upend Jesse’s world. But the worst is yet to come…

I’ve read the whole Steel family saga from the beginning and enjoyed the first books about the four Steel siblings the most. I’m having a harder time getting into the third generation of Steels and now the Pike’s. There’s too much inner dialogue that they repeat over and over. I haven’t decided how I feel about Brianna and Jesse. For some reason, I had a hard time finishing it. It did get better towards the end. But, unfortunately (for me), I’m not sure if I care if they stay together for the duration or not. I would like to know Dragon’s back story. It does sound like it was horrible. I think that I like a HEA and I’m not crazy of a continuous story that doesn’t have an ending, even though real life is a continuous journey.

You know I'll always go to bat for the Steel Saga, but this one wasn't my favorite. I do love Brianna and Jesse together because their passion and chemistry are insane and the spice is delightful. However, they felt very whirlwind and back and forth with each other. I also felt like I was getting a lot of repetitiveness from this story with the Steels having money, the Pikes accepting that, and going on and on about who likes who and why they work, etc. Besides the INSANE cliffhanger, there was no big twist in this one like I'm used to. I still like it because I love this series and I am curious to see how this chunk of the series ends, especially if Maddie and Dave are at the forefront of the next book. After 29 books in a series, it's wild how there's more to work with, but I will keep reading as long as Helen keeps writing. Thanks to her for sending me an e-ARC to read and review!

An intriguing storyline. New love interests. I'm not crazy about all the 'in-your-head' dialog. Cliffhanger's drive me nuts...lol

I really like Brianna and Jesse’s story and how they came together. Brianna Steel went to the UK with the band Dragonlocke, that Jesse and his sister Rory are a part of. And her cousins went also to support the band and to tour the countryside. I was chosen to receive an early copy and I really enjoyed it. Helen Hardt really shocked my emotions into a mess with the cliffhanger she threw out there in the very last sentence. If you have read any of her books, you know she really likes her cliffhangers which doesn’t make it easy to wait for the next book.

I would not have picked up this book if I was not reading it with a friend, and I wouldn't have gotten very far into it except for the same reason. This dull and lifeless story appears to exist solely for the purpose of the sex scenes spattered throughout, but even readers just looking to get off must close the book with equal disappointment due to the awkward, unpleasant, and cringey lovemaking and bedroom talk.

Perhaps it is unfair for me to give such a scathing review of this book when I haven't read any others in the series, but I can only imagine longtime fans must find this book even more unbearable than I did. If you removed every time conversations or information, important or not, were repeated in this book, you would probably end up with a result a quarter of the length. Readers are *constantly* bombarded with reminders of how old characters are, who is related to who, who is hooking up with who, and so on. Even plot points such as Jesse and Brianna's feelings of guilt for keeping Jesse away from Dragon the first night, Jesse's conflicted feelings for Brianna, and Jesse's doubts of Brianna's feelings due to her age, are repeated so frequently I felt like the author was beating my corpse over the head with them. There are maybe three or four halfway decent ideas that make up the thin plot of this book which are stretched well past their use in order to transport readers from one sex scene to the next in a way that feels like riding a tortoise from McDonald's to McDonald's only to find out their ice cream machine is broken every time.

There are a few points of conflict in this story, and the protagonists Jesse and Brianna do absolutely nothing about them. Jesse goes through the story whining and complaining about anything and everything as every problem that comes his way gets expediently solved through no effort of his own, and incredibly little effort from anyone else, for that matter.

If you're a fan of this series and the characters, I can see how you might enjoy any amount of story that continues the relationship that you have with them. However, from an objective standpoint, I cannot find anything redeeming within this book to justify my time.

Harmonious and emotional

The penultimate book in the Steel Brothers Saga has arrived. HARMONY, book #29 and the second in Brianna Steel and Jesse Pike's trilogy, is another emotional read which didn't disappoint.

Both Bree and Jesse are feeling guilty over what happened to Dragon. Jesse for not being with his friend, and Bree for being a distraction and possibly ruining the chances of the band's future. Their emotional struggles are real, leading to a revelation that neither was expecting. Will a solution be found to the difficulty the band is now facing? How will Bree and Jesse move forward from their guilt?

While HARMONY concentrates on Bree and Jesse, there are other events occurring. Ennis Ainsley reveals information to Donny and Callie regarding the ring Donny found. Then there is the coupling of another Pike and Steel, that one really caught me off guard.

Once again Helen has me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book, ENCORE. That cliffhanger was a huge shock, happening just when Bree and Jesse had found some happiness. Talk about raising the intensity and the blood pressure!! Another amazing story in this saga.

Harmonizing Together...

Jesse Pike, Brianna Steel and Dragonlocke

OMG!!! The cliffhanger queen has struck again...and in the everloving worst way EVER!!!

Harmony, book 29 in the Steel Brothers Series, has picked up, right where Melody left us hanging.

Dragon Locke, was rushed to the hospital. What happened to Dragon, just read Harmony, and you'll find out. However, with Dragon being out of commission, it has left Dragonlocke without a drummer, just as they are starting to tour the UK with Emerald Phoenix.

As the lead singer of Dragonlocke, what will Jesse do? I guess you'll have to read this amazing installment of the Steel Brothers Series to get this bit of info.

The LOVE that is growing between Jesse and Brianna, is getting stronger, buuuuuuuut...yet again, you'll have to read Harmony to learn more about them.

Thanks to Ms Helen Hardt, I was awarded an ARC of Harmony to read and review prior to release date.

I give this book 5 HUGE stars and many recommendations to all who have previously read books 1 Craving thru 28 Melody in the Steel Brothers Series, trust me, you'll love it as much as I did.

Brianna and Jessie Pike's story on tour

I have mentioned this before that this 3rd generational story is not as compelling as the original part of this series.
Book 29 has the same effect,to Much repetition in dialogue and not enough substance to the story.
The most interesting part was when they went to see a former employee of their grandparents and found out the mystery of the rare Orange diamond.
There is also a huge cliffhanger that leaves a lot of what ifs......
I truly hope we get conclusions to all the new relationships that came along this long road to the end of a fabulous beginning of the Steel Brothers Saga. Helen is an amazing story teller so I will keep the faith that the last book will answer all our questions.
This one ended on a huge cliffhanger, so I hope that is cleared up in the 1st chapter and she dedicates chapters to each couple to give us closure
I rat this 3 1/2⭐ 🔥

Dragon is still unconscious when we left melody and harmony begins. Bree is willing to do and be anything Jesse needs knowing how much the band and this tour means to him and his family. Jesse finally admits to himself that he loves Bree and they both throw caution to the wind and allow themselves to see where love takes them. Ennis takes us back to Brad and Daphne for a surprise even I didn’t see but we also get a glimpse of his back story and how he became the steels winemaker. Another steel arrives in the UK much to Jesse’s surprise as they are wrapping up their concerts in the UK. The ride to Paris takes an unexpected turn leaving me speechless. Of course this book id amazing on its own but when read in order it is so much more intriguing. You won’t be able to put it down once you start reading.

Your life is a result of your decisions and choices...

This story is seeped in guilt. Jesse Pike made a selfish choice to be with Brianna Steel over being with his friend. As a result of his actions, he has jeopardized the future of the band and the tour.

Brianna also feels guilt. She has possibly caused the band to lose their dream of a lifetime of being the opening act for Emerald Phoenix. She was self-serving and was not up front about her intentions. Both Jesse and Brianna both need to mend the mistakes they have made as soon as possible.

We are left hanging once again with more questions than answers which is par for the course for Helen Hardt. As always, I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Helen, you have done it again.
Harmony book 29 in The Steel Brother Series is another fantasic read 😍

Harmony carries on with Jessie & Brianna story and starts where Melody finishes.
Brianna is madly in love with Jessie she has had feeling for him for many years and always watched from afar,  Jessie tries to deny his feelings for Brianna but uses the obstacles that could get in the way of them making ago of it as an excuse, he realises that he can not deny them any longer and will work things out whatever is thrown their way.
And what a cliffhanger 😪 Helen definitely knows how to keep you wanting more.
This series has had me gripped from book one. As soon as you start on the first page, you are invested.

I am looking forward to Encore to see what is going to happen next.

Can Jessie and Brianna find their together harmony?

Jesse and Brianna’s story continues in the UK with Jesse’s band opening up for a big name band and are left without a drummer due to extenuating circumstances. They each blame themselves for getting distracted with each other. In this second part of their story, Jesse pulls back and forth about being with Brianna. Finally, they have a temporary tour relationship going on. The plot is great, especially with a lot of the other characters in previous books are included. I loved every bit of this book. Jesse and Brianna have found their perfect harmony. Until the last sentence of the book that leaves you with a whopper of a cliffhanger. Oh boy Helen, you’ve done it again. I did not see that coming at all.

After reading Melody which is the first book about Jesse Pike and Brianna Steel, I was definitely looking forward to Harmony! It didn’t disappoint. I loved Jesse and Brianna’s characters as well as the secondary characters I already know from previous Steel books. It is a fun journey going along with Jesse and Brianna finding their way to each other. The plot is good, the characters are easy to love and there are bits of humor between all the alpha guys that is hilarious at times. There is a cliffhanger at the end which is Helen Hardt’s trademark so be prepared for that. I totally recommend Harmony and am excited for Encore!

Wow! What a ride! This is a do not miss installment in the Steel Brothers Saga.
Book 29 picks up with the gang; Brock, Brianna, Jesse, Rory, and the rest of Dragonlock on tour in the UK opening for the band Emerald Phoenix. So many twists and turns throughout the book you do not want to put it down. And in true Ms. Hardt style, an unforgettable cliffhanger.
I have mixed feelings about book thirty: I can’t wait to see how the storyline for these younger Steel’s ends, but I will mourn the end of an era. The Steel Saga has brought many hours of reading joy, tears and laughter, and they will be missed.

I know I say this a lot, but it's still true. I was sucked in from page one. I don't know where to start. I don't want to give anything away. I love that brianne went after what she wanted, and she followed her heart, and her heart led her to jesse.
Well, Jesse and brianne are doing their own thing they don't see what is happening to Dragon. Will the band and the tour suffer because they didn't see what was going on around them? Or will the steel all band together to help those they care about?

I will say this. I love this series. You get to see all the steels. And how far they've come and how far they've grown.

I can't wait to read what happens next!!!

PS ends in a cliffhanger

WELL HOLY CRAP!!! Where to start...okay so we know Dragonlocke is on tour and that Brianna has her sites set on Jesse but what we didn't know is that it was going to be reciprocated. There are major issues with Dragon and thought the tour would come to an end BUT everything seems to be working out. Dave (Briannas cousin) shows up out of the blue and next thing you know Maddie and Dave are holding hands and Jesse is not liking that at all. (even though Maddie and Bri are the same age. Then in typical Helen fashion the story ends with problems with the airplane so stay tuned everyone for ENCORE.

Oh my......this book is on fire! As much as Jesse tries to stay away form Brianna....he is like a moth to a flame. He can't stay away from her..as much as he tries. There is so much going on during this tour...the Pike siblings, the Steel cousins, Dragon being hospitalized...and then there's Brianna, always there for him...never questioning him....just there for him. He knows he doesn't deserve her...she's too young, she's a Steel, she's....just what he needs....Like a moth to a flame.
Loved this book....loved their story!

Harmony, The Steel Brothers Sage, book 29 written by Helen Hardt. WHAT DID YOU DO HELEN HARDT?!?!?! YOU COULD NOT HAVE POSSIBLY ENDED THERE!! Okay, enough yelling, but OMG! This book is amazing! I have enjoyed each and every other one of the books in this series but none of them ended with as big of a cliffhanger as this one did! It was so much fun to be on tour with the band, even with all of their complications. I will be slowly dying each moment until we land the plane..... Good one Ms Hardt! Good one!

Europe has no become a city that leaks secrets! Brianna and Jesse have become inseparable but not in a relationship. We find out the actual origin of the LW ring and Dragon falls hard off the wagon causing the back to use a back up drummer from Emerald Phoenix-this guy gives everyone the ick. The band is killing it on tour and have to continue while Dragon gets the help he needs back home. David Simpson, third and final member of the Rackaters, shows up and gives Maddie a little something to smile about…Jesse on the other hand not so much!

You would thing that after 29 books in the series that the story would get bored but NO, Helen Hardt once again takes her readers on a bumpy ride filled with wonderful characters and a storyline that will leave you on the edge of your seats. Jesse and Brianna's love has its ups and downs and the Steel saga once again goes one step forward and two steps back. And that ending - holy crap - I need more!!

I just loved Harmony. It is the continuation of Jessie Pike and Brianna Steel. So many obstacles are in their way but somehow they find a way to realize how much they feel for each other. They are in love and trying to be together and deal with everything that is being thrown at them. It was nice to see more of Maddie and get to know her better.

Can't wait for Encore to come!! See what's up with everyone.

I choose to get this as an early addition and she don't disappoint.
This book is about Brianna and Jesse's love story
Brianna follows the band to the UK to dine true love and show Maddie a great time . This story has a lot of emotions ups and downs. The best is the ending..oh my gosh I would have to say it's the best cliff under in the whole series
I really thought it was going to get boring but she keeps you reading.. when is the next book.

I loved the book!!!
Love this series I have read other books from this series and I can't wait to read more and new ones coming soon.
I Love the family in the books.
I love the romance between Jesse and Brianna!!!
I was sad when their drummer in their Rock band ends up out of commission and wasn't sure if he would make it but he end up making it.
And it was also sad that Jesse and Brianna were both blaming themselves for what happen but going in the book they both forgive themselves.
And I loved that we got more of the family and people from the other books in the series.

I have read all of the Steele Brothers Saga and pretty much have it figured out. In this book Brianna finally hooks up with Jesse Pike. She seems to follow in the Steele family hooking up with the Pike's. Jesse is the lead singer along with Rory his sister with the band Dragonlock. They finally get a big break opening for the popular band Extreme Phoenix as they tour England and Paris. They're luck seems to go south on their way to Paris. Will they make it? You have to finish the series

Harmony by Helen Hardt

Harmony is book 29 in the Steel Brothers Saga. This is a steamy romance centering around Brianna Steel and Jessie Pike. Brianna has crushed on Jessie for years, and finally has his attention.

I enjoyed their story, once again enjoying the characters and the family. This book didn’t have the crazy twists like the other books in the series, but it was an enjoyable fast read.

I am yet again blown away by Helen Hardt’s talent in taking a story at book 29 and bringing all 28 previous books into it. This involves creativity, a great imagination and a great memory. Jesse and Brianna are back. With so many obstacles pushing them apart, it is love that drives them. Jesse’s band is on the brink of disaster and Bree is taking the blame. Their struggles and highs and lows threaten to break them. On the brink of success or failure, Jesse turns to Bree for comfort, love and acceptance. We meet old characters again and are introduced to a new couple whose story has yet to be told. I devoured this book as I have the last 28 and am anxiously waiting for the next story. This series speaks for itself. It’s just so good and I am not looking forward to the day that I no longer have the Steele family to keep me company. For now, I don’t need to think about that.

Helen Hardt has done it again. I thought I would get bored with the series but nope.
This one is about Jesse and Brianna and their trip to the UK with the band. There is a lot of emotions in this book, but the cliff hanger has me shocked and waiting for Encore it can't come fast enough.

Wow! I love the Steel Brother series and this book is top notch. I love how the Steele’s fall hard and are so dedicated to not only their family but the love of their life. Jesse and Bree are perfect for each other. This book is definitely one of my favorites. Highly recommend not only the whole series but this one is one of the best.

I can’t express enough of how much I love the Steel’s. Now the Pikes’s are more than just neighbors. Helen does another outstanding job of writing these families and making them feel like you’re part of it. Every book in this series we learn more about all of the Steel’s and following them as they find their person makes it even more worth it!
