After suffering through heartbreak, Rose is determined to move on without Lee. She can’t cling to her first love forever, and she knows that. As long as he’s happy with his decision, she’ll struggle to move on.
But when Lee's sister Grace invites her to a photoshoot in the French Alps for spring break, Rose quickly realizes it’s a trap – Lee and his new fiance Kiera are there too. Kiera toys mercilessly with Lee and Rose and their feelings for each other.
Even if Rose can muster the courage to be happy for him and Lee can suppress his pent-up desire for her, neither of them can deny there is something more that ties them together than love and lust.
Fate.
**This story contains language and sexual scenes, some of which may be unsuitable for younger readers.
**This is the second and final book in the ARRANGED series.
Sara Wolf adores baking, cats, and screaming helpfully at her own imagination. When she was a kid she was too busy eating dirt to write her first terrible book. Twenty years later she mashed her fists on a laptop and created the Lovely Vicious series. She lives in Portland, Oregon where the sun can't get her anymore.
Oh, thank God!!! Finally something good!!!! You really, really scared the crap out of me, Sara!!! But gladly, everyone's got what deserve!!!
But in the beggining, the ache in my heart was so big that i couldn't bare it. I didn't like to see these two to suffer and struggle like that... Both of them was miserable away from each other... But for Rose was even more bad because she couldn't understand the reasons why.... Rose was all the time so insecure for herself and she accepted so easily all the lies that Lee fed her... and that wasn't good. The last time they saw each other, Lee made her a promise, and he ask her to never forget his words, but she forget them... She didn't have faith to herself... She was lost without him!!!
And Lee, made the worst decision ever... I know that he had his reasons but he burry himself in an ugly situation that was unbearable for him, even though he was trying!!!! He sacrifice his own freedom for Rose's dreams... and he was completely devastating and heartbroken... He lost Rose and himself at the same time... He was forced to be with a terrible woman that bound him tight with unvisible strings...
And, then one day, after several months Rose's and Lee's paths crossing by and it's so damn hard to stay away from each other.... And the worst thing is that because of the love in their eyes became targets in a manipulating game for a bad person.... Lee is worrying all the time about Rose after all the threats that he's been receiving and Rose is comfused with his strange attitude and she has to look all the time behind her back in a constant worry...
For once again, i liked this book but i couldn't bare the loss and the pain that caused me... But the worst of all was that Kierra made me for once again furious with all this unthinkable things that she was making up every single time... She was a mean and very sick person... and she deserved what she finally got... Yeah, there is God!!!!
Thank you, Sara! This ride was also very nice, just like "Lovely vicious" series.... And i'm really looking forward about the third book.... I hope that we will have it in some point, right????
2 “Very Generous” Stars The epic conclusion to Lee and Rose’s love story. This one picks up just a few months after the last one left off. Rose is still heartbroken from being blindsided by Lee suddenly becoming engaged to the evil Keira. I’d love to say this one plays out better, but it’s much the same, and to give you a point of reference of the maturity level we’re dealing with… how about some text evidence from when Rose finally comes face to face with Lee & Keira. Let me set the scene… Lee & Keira are dining in a restaurant; she’s rubbing his crotch with her foot, while Rose is watching from the bar.
More scenes with other woman and more lame reason for it. The guy is a horndog and although I did feel that he loved the heroine the fact that he enjoyed the sex with other woman just put me off!
I think this was the perfect end to Rose and Lee's story. With the way Arranged left us, I was anxious to find out how it would all turn out, and I was not disappointed!
The story starts a few months later, Rose is trying to deal with Lee's Engagement and their failed relationship. After wallowing in self pity, she takes up Grace's offer to spend some time in France while she's on a photo shoot. It just so happens that Lee and Kiera are also staying there as well. From the first time they lock eyes with each other, their feelings are as strong as ever. Kiera, more manipulative than ever, keeps Lee on a tight leash and constantly threating Rose harm if he goes near her. Things begin to go downhill quite quickly, plans go awry and people are revealed for who they really are.
Rose really broke my heart at the beginning. She's utterly heart broken, but desperate to put on a brave face and get through her lonely life without Lee. Once she comes into contact with Lee and seemingly gets the 'closure' she thinks she needs, I found that Rose became more confident and less of a push over. She stands up for herself and does what SHE wants. It's evident she's still very much in love with him, but wants to do the selfless thing and leave him be if he's happy. Once she learns that's not the case, well then, she's willing to fight for her man.
If I was working too much, my heart wouldn't ache constantly, would it? I would be distracted. I wouldn't catch myself thinking of how life would've been different if I'd marched up to the stage that night and snatched Lee's hand away from hers. ~ Rose
I have to admit, Lee and I didn't part on the best of terms at the end of Arranged, basically I wanted to throttle him. Part of me understands why he did what he did, it was actually quite selfless, but seriously?!? How did he not know Kiera is bat shit crazy? Thankfully he redeems himself in this novel. We see a different side to Lee, a softer and more romantic side, but he's also willing to fight for what he truly wants.
If I don't protect Rose by ignoring her, by stamping down the fire that burn for her in my body, Kiera will torture her, emotionally, psychologically and physically. ~Lee
I have really confused feelings about this book... At first, I kind of liked it,but then the characters got waaaaay too stupid. I mean, they were frigging adults, for god's sake, it's not like they were 13 or something, but somehow, they couldn't get their lives straight.**"Spoiler" Whoo in this world doesn't know that arranged married doesn't frigging work??** That little detail apart, Disarranged was quite a good closure for Lee's and Rose's story. You can see the end coming, and it was quite predictable, but it was a nice story anyway. For those of you who want to know wether this is worth your buck, I could say yes. There is a little twist on some characters that I didn't see coming,but nothing "OMFG"... Well, overall it was an enjoyable read and the ending was reeeallyyyy sweet, therefor, it's more then worth a 3.5
Lee and Rose are no more, at the end of the first book Lee out of the blue dumps Rose. As the months pass by Rose cannot get Lee out of her mind. Lee's sister Grace invites Rose to France where she's on a modelling assignment. By sheer coincidence Lee is their with his new fiancée Kiera. From there the drama unfolds.
The wait for this second book was a long one, so my anticipation had heightened. But overall this is not as good as the first book. That isn't to say I didn't enjoy it, but it just didn't quite live up to my expectations. I found some of the events that moved the story forward were, a little fantastic and hard to believe. The formatting left a lot to be desired as well, with whole chunks of the text repeated. Which was a little off putting.
I've been waiting a long time to see where this story would bring Rose and Lee and I can absolutely say it was well worth the wait. Even though the story feels a bit rushed - I would've liked the story to be longer, because I liked it so much - the author gave Rose and Lee exactly what they deserved and I was so happy for that. The extra twists and turns gave this an extra touch. The story is short, but those twists and turns tell me the author did not wanted to rush this story completely.
Thank you Sara for bring us Rose and Lee's story, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the books you'll write! <3
I can honestly say i loved these books. I read both in the same day. Could not put my kindle down. I do wish they were longer or more coming out cause it ended to fast. not with a far enough in the future in the epilouge. But all in all wonderful books. Great job!
Soooo same as Arranged: could have been better. I still really like Sara Wolf, i don't see the end coming miles away and I love that. I wish the books were longer. It feels like unused potential!
Well, Sara Wolf did it AGAIN!!! I was hooked from page 1 until the very last page. I absolutely LOVED this story.
We start off with Rose on a plane to France to meet Grace. You remember Grace. Lee's sister!! Grace is in France doing a photoshoot & lonely. She misses Rose and begged her to come and hang out with her while she's there. Rose has been absolutely miserable since it was announced that Lee was marrying Keira. But, Rose considers Grace one of her best friends & misses her. She finally agrees to go to France.
Rose tells herself she's going to move on and live her life. WITHOUT Lee. Even if she's not sure how yet. She plans on trying. Once Rose & Grace get to their hotel room, Grace heads off for a photoshoot & Rose decides to take a nap. They decide to meet up later on after Grace's photoshoot for dinner.
This is where the story gets interesting. Rose gets to the restaurant before Grace. She's gets seated and looks around the beautiful restaurant. That's when Rose's breathe stops short and her heart to speed up. Rose is looking right at Keira!! Then, she's looking at Lee and he looks terrible. He's lost weight, looks like hes hasn't slept & the black circles under his eyes were big and very dark. As she's staring at Lee, Keira sits across from her. And, I must say as much of a bitch she was in book 1. This book... I swear her bitchiness doubles by like 100!!! This girl just gets worse & worse, and I'm not joking. As Keira is lacing into Rose. Grace shows up to save the day. After Keira barges off, Grace stops Lee and makes him eat because she she's how bad he looks. After a VERY awkward dinner between Lee & Rose. Rose realizes it really is over between them.
The next day while Grace goes to another photoshoot, Rose goes to take the beginners skiing class. She meets Morgan who's a young teenager. They become fast friends. After ski lessons, Rose gets a letter from Lee to meet him.
Once Lee & Rose see each other it's like they fell in love all over again. Or I should say like one went away for work & they saw each other in the airport after being apart for like a week. Rose just doesn't get it. Just as Lee starts explaining it to Rose, here comes the wicked witch Keira!! But, she's not alone. She's with Felix, the guy she got to replace Rose's ski instructor. Which basically means he is there to spy on Rose & Lee.
Over the next couple of days, Keira does EVERYTHING in her power to make Rose's life a living hell. I mean just when I thought Keira couldn't get any lower & and any dirtier. Man, was I wrong! She wasn't only torturing Rose. Oh no! She was making Lee miserable as well. I mean this chick has paid of EVERYONE she knows!! Lee's father shows up for some strange reason. Felix is playing both sides. Lee & Rose don't know who they can trust.
Rose tries her hardest to not let the wicked witch ruin her trip. Rose and Grace hang out and talk and have a good time. Rose also continues to take her skiing lessons & having a blast with Morgan!! She's also trying to understand what is going on with Lee.
Keira decides she is done & over Rose completely. Keira decides to pull a Keira. Her new "master plan" puts EVERYBODY'S lives in trouble!!
It will literally blow your mind with what goes on next. I was on the edge of my seat from the minute Rose saw Keira at the restaurant!! Trust me when I tell you that you won't be disappointed with this book. I know I wasn't.
"You know how serious she is about this" Lee exclaims. "Please, Rose, I know it sounds extreme, and, okay, a little crazy, but Keira will stop at nothing to keep us apart. Nothing."
"Nothing is how it should be. You can feel it too, right? You should be with me. We should be together, somewhere not here. We made a mistake, but it's not too late to fix it."
" I'm sorry. I shouldn't have sent that to you. You just being with me-she'll see that as a threat. I'm supposed to protect you, but right now I'm doing the opposite."
"I love you, Rose Jensen. Don't you ever fucking forget that." "I never did," I whisper back
I was given this book as an ARC for an honest review I gave this book 5 stars. This is book two in the Arranged series and you do need to read book one in order to read this book .. and if you have not then do NOT read any further into my review:)
This has all our return Characters in it Lee, Rose, Grace, Jen and Kiera (Evil, Nasty, Bitch WHORE!) Sorry.
When we last left Lee and Rose he had just announced that he was going to marry Kiera to the world. Rose doesn't know that he is doing this for her, she thinks I finally lost him. I didn't trust him and now he has gone off with someone better. My heart broke for her, but she is determined to go on with her life if he is happy. She comes to find out that her grandpa's house has been paid off and that her loans are paid in full. (????)
She gets a call from her BFF Grace (Lee's sister) to come join her in the French Alps for Spring break, well she has nothing to lose, so she goes. Once she is there she finds out that so is Lee and Kiera. And now she has to go two weeks seeing them together. This is a crazy, crazy ride. And has so much freaking Angst in it I thought my heart would explode. Lee is marrying evil, nasty bitch whore to protect Rose, but she doesn't know that.
Kiera is psychotic and I wanted to kill her myself. AAAHHH !!! Can Lee and Rose find their happily ever after?? Will Kiera burn in hell?? I was again pleasantly surprised with this book. It kept me on my toes and I didn't put the book down. I read it in ONE sitting. And the ending FINALLY made me breathe !! But in-between all this crap happens and if they would only COMMUNICATE things would have gone much smoother! But we all know that it wouldn't be a good book then. I love both Lee and Rose and only wanted them to finally realize what they had and that they belonged together! Everyone saw it !! Even Evil Nasty, bitch Whore!! That is why she was doing the things she was doing. Does she get hers in the end!! ??
You need to read this to find out! It is definitely a must read especially if you read the first book! This will tie it up in a big pretty ribbon for yoU!!! Again thank you for sharing this series with me Sara I really enjoyed it! I look forward to reading more from you .. and I JUST READ!! there is going to be a book 3!!!!!!!AAAAAAHHHHH!!! Surprises after surprises!!! <3 I.Cannot.Wait.~!!!!!!!! <3
Disarranged is the second book in the Arranged series concluding Rose and Lee’s story. Rose and Lee met in Arranged; book one of the series while they are in college together attending UCLA. Rose is your all American whole-some girl who meets the dark and mysterious Lee. He meets Rose intitally in a web of deception but ends up falling head over heels in love. At the end of Arranged, an ex lover Kiera returns into Lee’s life and blackmails him into marrying her. Lee breaks Rose’s heart and the ending leaves on a big cliffhanger.
Disarranged picks up right where Arranged left off in book one. Rose is heartbroken and does not understand how Lee can be in love with her one minute but agree to marry someone else the next minute. Lee is protecting Rose from Kiera and for her safety is not allowed to tell anyone he was forced to become engaged. The book is in dual points of view and I enjoyed being able to know what Lee AND Rose were thinking; especially since Lee was hiding so much from everyone. Rose is given a trip to France, by Lee’s sister and Rose’s new bff Grace. While on their trip none other than Lee and Kiera are staying at the same resort and all the drama begins!
Disarranged is VERY, VERY, VERY short. Only nine chapters and I read the entire thing in about an hour. I was hoping for more because I really enjoyed Arranged and the storyline. I felt Disarranged fell a short of what the first book had. The story moved very quickly. I felt it to be farfetched at times and a little too dramatic at times. Kiera’s character and storyline was way over the top. I really didn’t understand her purpose or reasoning behind the blackmailing.
I like Lee and Rose’s character a lot, I wish their second book fulfilled the first book but it didn’t. The third book in the series involves a new character that is introduced in book two. I don’t recommend reading the synopsis of book three because it contains spoilers, MAJOR spoilers!!
Disarranged was okay… I was able to get through it only because I was already invested into the characters and story. Maybe I just had to high of hopes for the book and storyline.
I give Disarranged (Arranged #2) 2 Stars
Book provided by the author in return for an honest review.
Sara Wolf created some amazing characters in ARRANGED and I was ecstatic to find out what happened to them in DISARRANGED. (Note: If you haven’t read the first book in this series, do not read this review until you have. You can read my review of ARRANGED here.)
At the end of ARRANGED, Lee proposed to Keira in order to make things right the best way he knew how. Rose is heartbroken and devastated but tries her best to move on. She accompanies Grace to France on one of Grace’s photo shoots, only to realize Lee and Keira are there as well. Lee can’t seem to hide his feelings for Rose and Keira is instantly jealous and proves that she will do whatever it takes to keep Lee for herself.
DISARRANGED was a fast-paced story that kept me entertained and excited throughout. The sexy stolen moments between Lee and Rose were steamy and the plot was filled with action. I love Lee and Rose together so much that I wish there’d been more time in the story of them together. While they never wavered on their feelings for each other, I felt like I experienced a lot less of it in this story simply because Keira was always in the way. I would have liked a few chapters where we could get back to basics – their intense love story. Similar to the first book in the series I thought there were a couple instances that could have used clarification or editing, but the story itself never suffered for it. It only would have served to improve upon an already wonderful story.
In DISSARANGED I was once again caught up in all the reasons I fell in love with Lee and Rose and enjoyed every second of their exciting adventure.
**Copy provided by the author/publisher for an honest review.
Disarranged is the second book in the Arranged series and seems to be the conclusion of their story. I enjoyed Lee and Rose’s story in Arranged and looked forward to reading the remainder of their story in this book, which picks up where we left off in the first, Rose heartbroken and not knowing the real reason Lee is engaged to Keira.
Rose has decided to take Grace up on her offer and join her in the French Alps for Spring Brink while Grace in on site for a photoshoot. Rose finds herself wishing to see Lee one last time and to her surprise Lee and Keira are at the same resort and right from the moment they become aware of each other, it is obvious that the love and the connection Rose and Lee share is still there stronger than ever but Keira is standing in the way of that love.
Keira truly is a mole you can’t help but love to hate, she is the one person that is standing in the way of a HEA for Rose and Lee, and how does Lee stay with her when Rose is the one he loves, she is basically blackmailing him into marriage by threatening Rose’s safety.
You can’t help but fall in love with Lee, he has made the commitment to marry Keira, someone he doesn’t love, all to financially help his father out as well as Rose, yet Rose does not know this. Lee forfeits his happiness for the happiness and safety of the one he truly loves.
"I have to tell you everything. It’s killing me that you don’t know – that you think I love her. I don’t. God Rose, I don’t lover her at all. I pity her. I hate her. But love is the farthest thing from my mind.”
Rose and Lee can’t deny their love but Keira is always in the background and her threats are always there. Will Lee be able to escape the hold Keira has over him but keep Keira safe at the same time, will they get their HEA. I did enjoy the story line and the twist and turns this book had, it kept me wanting and needing to keep reading but I found there were moments that felt very rushed and wanting more emotion from them and more story, felt like there were parts of the scene missing in spots and I found this book to be very short and over before I was wanting it to be.
I reviewed Arranged and Disarranged back to back.*I received these books in exchange for an honest review and you better believe it these are my thoughts and my words... It's 3:52 am Indiana time and I'm up, writing a review... Why you might ask, because I'm crazy like that! <3
I'm still sitting here wondering where do I start. If you haven't read Arranged, STOP! Go grab it and read it. It's really good and the ending is a semi-clifty. So glad I waited until I had Disarranged. You meet all the key players in the first book: Rose, Lee, Grace, Jen, Kiera.... and some others. Rose, Lee and Jen all go to school together at UCLA. Jen and Grace are a couple. Rose and Lee are questionable. Kiera is a psycho ex-girlfriend. Arranged broke slowly broke my heart. Rose's grandfather died and in his will he left some money to her, but there is a stipulation in the will to receive the money and it has to do with Lee... That is what Arranged goes into. And in the be beginning of Disarranged, my heart completely broke from Rose.
I wanted to beat some people up. We know that Lee loves Rose and he wanted to make sure she never forgot that.. But there is A LOT that happens in Disarranged that would want to make me forget someone. Some characters really surprised me with their actions and some should have received more than what they did. These are shorter reads so I don't want to give up everything.
So did I love this series... OMG YES! It was such an emotional read. I could not put my kindle down until I was at the end. 5 stars. I love Rose. I just want to give her a big hug and try to make everything okay. Lee I couldn't decide if I liked him or not. I kind of hated him at the end of Arranged, but when everything comes out in Disarranged!! I fell in absolute love with him. And his sister Grace. OMG LOVE her! I'm kind of kicking myself for not finding Arranged sooner, but I'm an extremely poor series reader. I like instant gratification. I can't wait to read MORE from Ms. Wolf. *Anna*
Disarranged is the continuation of the story of Rose & Lee from Arranged. Hopefully, you've had a chance to read it by now & hated the cliff hanger ending as much as I did. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next and now I know.
In this book, Rose is moving on after Lee broke her heart. She's still best friends with his sister, Grace and Grace has invited her to come visit her in France during spring break. This time abroad is full of unexpected surprises. Some, I didn't even see coming; hitting me head on! And lets not forget about Kiera, the spiteful, evil girl that Lee left Rose for. She definitely makes her presence known in any way she can and flaunts that Lee chose her. Lee is stuck in the middle and will do anything to keep Rose safe from the threats that Kiera has made to him. Even at the expense of his own happiness and breaking Rose's heart into pieces.
"She is the black carving her way to find a greater love, I am the unwavering shield protecting the one I love." ~ Lee
"I shouldn't need to force you apart!" Her voice pitches up. "You agreed to marry me Lee! I filled my half of the conditions. I paid for everything. I stayed away from her for months. I've been waiting for you to fulfill your half! But you still hang on. Every time you look at her, I know you're still hanging on! ~ Kiera
Rose tries to stay strong and Lee still cannot resist finding any little bit of time to be near her. I enjoyed seeing the risks Lee took and having him become the man I knew her was all along. Disarranged reminded me of a sour patch candy......first it's sweet, then you get a burst of sour and then it's sweet again. I was pleasantly surprised with how this story unfolded and all it had to give me. And the ending was the sweetest revenge. Remember....no evil deed goes unpunished.
Hope you enjoy the rest of Rose & Lee's story as much as I did.
~Joni’s Review~ I was so heartbroken at the end of Arranged for Lee & Rose. I needed them to have their happily ever after. I could barely sleep wanting to read this book instead. Well it was another park it and read book that I could not put down. I read it in about three hours. Loved it all the way through. This one picks up a couple months after the ending of book one. Rose is heading to France to stay with Grace while she is there doing a shoot. What neither of them know is that Lee is also there with that bitch I mean his fiancé Kiera. Yes I hate her she is one book chick that I will never like! From the moment Rose and Lee come face to face I could feel their struggle and their pain. Rose has no idea what’s really going on and Lee can’t tell her. He is miserable without Rose, but is doing what he must to protect her. “A crusade, two religions fighting each other with equally fervent force, trying to convince each other their way of life and their very souls are wrong. She is the blade carving her way to find a greater love, and I am the unwavering shield protecting the one I love.” ~Lee Kiera is willing to do whatever it takes to keep Lee and make him hate Rose and love her. All I’m saying is karma is a bitch and it’s coming for you Kiera!! Lee tries his best to stay away from Rose, but he takes every opportunity to just be in her presence. Then something happens and he thinks he has lost her forever. “I’m the kind of asshole who is still in love with a girl who might never forgive me.” ~Lee Someone redeems themselves and tries to make up for all the wrong decisions they made that affected others lives. There is also a little surprise in this one and I couldn’t have been happier about that part and how it all ended. I will miss this couple and would really love to have more about them. I loved Disarranged just as much as Arranged and cannot wait to read more from this author. 5 BIG ASS STARS!!!!

Hope you enjoy the rest of Rose & Lee's story as much as I did. You can check out my review for Arranged, here, dated May 10, 2013.
I was disappointed when I first opened up this book to see that there were only 9 chapters. I felt somewhat cheated as I have been waiting for the conclusion of Lee and Rose's story since I read and LOVED Arranged back in the spring. I was very happy that Sara completed their story though I felt that with the lengths of book 1 and 2 that it could have been done in one book.
Disarranged begins where we left off in Arranged. Rose sees Lee for the first time while on a ski vacation and you can feel the longing and love that come off these characters. At times, I felt that the internal dialogue from Rose regarding Lee was bordering on desperation - I get it - they loved each other a lot and for Rose not to know what was really going on was terrible but I wished for her to be stronger and to be able to hold her head up high and I felt that she didn't do this enough.
Some of the conversations that transpired in this book were very immature.
Often times the book seemed so rushed and though I still thought the sex was hot and that I was happy with the closure and HEA, I wanted more - more story line, more connection with the characters, and more development of the characters. I thought Sara did a great job in book 1 and was hoping for more in this book.
I do plan on reading more from this author - these are just my thoughts on this book. I truly enjoyed book 1 and this one unfortunately didn't work for me.
I received a copy of this book in place of an honest review.
This second book was even better than the first. I didn't think that I would like Lee even more but I do. I just wished he got a little more backbone faster. At least he does try to keep Rose safe from his fiancé. He will never get over Rose but he has to protect her. He knows that the love he feels for her will never go away.
Rose finally gives into Lee's sister Grace and goes to Paris with her. Only thing is, is that Lee is there with his fiancé. All she wants is to see him happy but he looks really bad. He's lost weight and doesn't look like he has been sleeping.
In this book Rose just can't seem to be mad at Lee and she sort of blames herself. If only she knew what Lee was doing for her.
This was a great story and the feelings I got reading this book when everything started to come out in the end was intense. Some people that I didn't like I ended up liking them because they did the right thing in the end. The author sure knew how to get me in the story and keep me entertained. I just couldn't seem to get enough of this book. I hated when I reached the end and I now I find out that there will be a third one. I can't wait to read it.
We start Disarranged a few weeks after Arranged ends.
Rose is taking a trip to Paris. Grace has invited her and this is the perfect way to relax and maybe forget Leo. Unfortunately, her relaxation doesn't last too long once she finds out Leo is there with his fiancee Keira.
Leo can't believe it. The woman he loves is in the same city and he wants her. He can't stay away. He knows he should leave her alone because he doesn't want to risk Kiera's wrath but when Rose's life is in danger, he is unable to walk away.
I think this book was much better than Arranged. Rose is still naive but she has some fight in her now. She doesn't push Leo away and having Leo's POV helped a lot. Kiera becomes even more crazy in this one. In the end everything works out as it should. This book is short so you can read it in an afternoon. James is next.
"I love you, Rose Jensen. Don't you ever fucking forget that."
Luckily book 2 only jumps ahead a few months in the lives of Lee and Rose. Even after her brief time with Lee and her new friendship with Grace, Rose still beats herself up. I got sick of hearing her say she wasn’t pretty enough or didn’t have a hot enough body. Ugh! She got paid to model. Insecure women make me crazy. Enough about that. I love that this book took them to a different location. That Rose got to meet new people in the story. I thoroughly enjoyed the drama of Keira and her craziness. The love story was unique in that it wasn’t just a misunderstanding that led to their break up initially, it was so much more. The deeper you get the more you love Lee and everything he is doing for Rose without her knowledge. I won’t give spoilers, but if you read Arranged, definitely read Disarranged. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Ever wonder what would happen if your marriage was planned when you were a child? What if you fall in love with that person anyway, and then have them ripped away from you by a vindictive ex who can't and won't let go… then read this 2 book series Arranged starts that story and it wraps up in this book.
Sara Wolf filled this novella with lots of drama, love, loss and then reclamation of love. I couldn’t put it down because I needed to see what happened to Lee and Rose. I rate it 4 outta 5 stars.
