This was roller-coaster of a book. I cant even explain the amount of stuff and drama that happened. I kept getting surprised every other chapter 😭. These characters can't catch a break like at all. From the moment the book starts theres always something going wrong for them. Even when things look like they going find BOOM something else pops up.
I love these characters and the series but this one almost had me going crazy and getting frustrated. Why are the authors putting them through so much 😭😭😭😭. All the drama kept me hooked cause I had no idea how they would get out of it and just waiting for whats coming next was nerve-wracking enough to keep me hooked.
Hlaf the ending was shocking to me the other part wasn't. I was waiting for something like that to happen with Missi. That whole thing she did at the end I saw it coming from a mile away shes too obsessed to not do something like that tbh. What took me by surprise was Rylee. And to end the book like that omg I need more.
I am definitely gonna be sitting here patiently waiting for the next book.
Maaaaaaaaaaate my eyes hurt from rolling so far back. We all knew the hotel owner was her grandad from the first book when it was mentioned he had a son he hadn’t seen in years 🙄 we also knew immediately that her dad was also trevs stepdad the moment the “stepdad” was mentioned more than once before ever meeting him. The conversion bit and the bit with the uncle and sister were so unnecessary. Teo going back to fight was just stupid. We’ve had long lost father, surprise stepbro porn, MMC gets head from OW whist FMC watches, misunderstanding break up 3times, rich evil parent using money to make life harder, druggy/alcoholic rich lady, depressed golden retriever character spiralling, life shattering news that hold zero necessity to the continuing story or plot, psychotic chick obsessed with mmc, psychotic chick physically harming FMC, psychotic chick sabotage, psychotic chick makes a comeback with some SA, psychotic chick drugs grapes and gets pregnant to the mmc, FMC finding out she’s knocked up at the same time as the OW. The amount of unnecessary drama and tired overdone troupes is nauseating. It’s like the authors are trying to be RE Bonds make me lie series but failing miserably. REBond only made it because the MC/gang made it make the tiniest amount of sense. This is painful. The first book was interesting the second was worrying cause we seen the signs and then this one was just unfortunate. I’ll read the fourth because I’ve been here since the first books release and my tism won’t let me leave but imma be back in the reviews ready to harp on about the “it’s not his baby because he was too drugged to do the deed” and so on. Here’s hoping you actually surprise me in this next one with something new or make it worse and now we have a DNA step kid who we magically fall in love with on sight lol
*why choose *contemporary *multi-PoV *academy *bully *cheerleading *enemies to lovers *building harem (5) *fast burn 🔥 *3/4 Yikes is all I can say to that 😮 There’s plenty of drama and action to keep you reading throughout this book! It picks up immediately after the last one with Rylee back home and let’s just say things go from bad to worse for our gal 😖 she learns things she never thought she would… Thankfully back at the academy some of the guys pull themselves together enough to go get her and take out those who need it! This book sees Lennox and Trevor taking the hits out of Rylees guys, plus Donny spiralling with his own demons…there’s a lot to contend with 😳 but oh my gosh that’s has got to be one of the worst cliffhangers I’ve read…prepare yourselves for it! I enjoyed the twists and turns in this one (some I did not see coming). This one had more story than smut compared to the previous books I felt but it absolutely worked. Cannot wait to read the last book and hope that Rylee gets her revenge!!
Raise 'Em Up is the third book in the Solidarity Academy series by Amber Nicole and Alisha Williams. I was excited to dive back into this world after book two and this book picks up right where we were left hanging. This book is filled with twists and drama that will leave you on the edge of your seat. This book does end in a cliffhanger that has me extremely excited for the fourth book; I need to know what all is going to happen next!
I absolutely adore Rylee. She hasn't had it easy and every time she thinks things are turning around, something else is thrown at her. Even with everything going on, she is a strong character that is protective of those she loves and refuses to give up. I can't get enough of her guys and I don't think I have a favorite because they all offer Rylee something that she needs and wants.
This book was such a good read! There are some dark elements so be sure to check the trigger warnings.
Hot hot hot and the tears!!!! I was left wanting so much more! That ending left me in so many tears! Talk about a roller coaster of a book! I mean so many questions at the end I can’t wait for more!
I feel like this book they were finally getting along and then one thing after another just kept hitting them lol. While there was as much spice that is okay! This one was filled with drama and much more plot! Definitely emotional lol! I am definitely looking forward to the next book!
I am starting to love the dynamic of the characters! I can’t get enough! They all fit each other perfectly even though some of them I am ready to whop on the head and tell them to pull it together lol! But that’s what gets me going I love it!
Overall, such a good book! I absolutely loved it. I can’t wait for the next one! Amber and Alisha know how to pull me into their world rip me apart and slowly put it back together with the characters lol! Love it!
I cannot wait for this harems H.E.A.!! This group goes through so freaking much.
This book is so emotional compared to the first two. There is not as much spice I didn’t think (( don’t worry the spice that’s there is 🔥🔥🔥 )) because we are getting more background and plot and drama! This one is heavy.
And that Cliffhanger and plot twist at the end holy shirt balls!! I can’t wait for the last book now!!
I am in love with Rylee and all her Men! They are all perfect in their own way! Even though I am mad at a few of them currently!!
Kindle/phone also marked safe from that cliffhanger lol
Amber and Alisha I loved this so much thanks for the ARC you beautiful babes 😘😘
I was first introduced to boos by Amber Nicole during a book reading challenge. I read “Karma” and that book blew my mind! I knew then she would become a favorite author of mine. Especially because she wrote this in collaboration with another favorite author, Alisha Willaims! Everytime I see another book by Ms. Nicole, I just have to read it! Even though I add it to my TBR list, I usually just skip over it to read Ms. Nicole’s books. I loved the Solidarity series and I am on pins and needles because I have to wait for the next (final?) book. I love the FMC in this book and the MMCs are so different from each other. I am usually able to choose one favorite but I could not in this series. Well done, Ms. Nicole and Ms. Williams! I cannot wait to see how this series end!
Wow what a roller-coaster ride emotionally and mentally. Rylee is dealt blow after blow, secrets that her Mum has hidden from her then finding out about her boyfriends past. Plus on top of that you have not only Len's dad but Missi and her unhinged ways. Just when you think "Awww they are happy" BAM another shock to the system. Amber Nicole and Alisha Williams know how to throw their punches with this 3rd book straight in to your heart. Fingers crossed 🤞 we get the 4th and final book this year, but no matter when it's released I'll be waiting (impatiently of course) to see what happen next. This is a great series and the 3rd book did not disappoint.
Man another fantastic read from two of my favorite arthurs. I feel like I've been through the wringer backwards and forward with all that happened in this book. This is the 3rd book in the series and boy howdy was there just so many thing's going on between Rylee and her men. This picks up from the cliffhanger in the previous book and the drama did not stop.
Who knew being on a cheer squad would be this intense besides the cheering and gymnastics. I love anything to do with cheer, but for that drama, who has time for any of that, but it seems to come for this squad in buckets. Now I just need the last book as this ended on not quiet a surprise but it is a surprise and Lennox's situation.
You girls can't seriously end on that cliffhanger though, can you? This is so unfair! I love this series. I'd never read a cheerleading romance book before this series (and if I have I don't remember it) and I was hooked within 6 chapters. I love that the book opens with the fellas getting their girl back. This book had one of my favourite tropes (accidental step siblings in love) and this book pulls it off beautifully. Throw in crazy stalkers, gangs, terrible parents, forced sexuality conversion camp, kidnapping and mean girls and this book was a rollercoaster. I had so much fun reading this and finished it in a day.
Rylee and her guys just can't catch a break. The pressure they are under with school, cheer, parents and nasty people just doesn't let up. The plot twists our authors come up with are realistic, scary and so hard to read at times. Yet the happy, comfortable and loving scenes are intense and emotional. Wonderful characters continue to grow as we learn more about them. And locations are richly described. I am amazed at how well Amber and Alisha write together. Every book gets better than the last and I will wait impatiently for their next. A great series by amazing storytellers.
Just when we all thought things were working out for the harem…Missi rears her damn head again….
That ending!? Oh snap,crackle and POP. Wowzers.
Ok. Whew.

Oo my gosh!! Once again on the edge of my seat with this latest book in the Solidarity Academy series 🤩
Picking up where book 2 left off we aren’t left waiting to see what happens next. We get to see this group become more solid as they navigate all their wins, losses and shocking revelations.
This book does end on cliffy so be prepared for that! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Rylee and her guys next.
I really enjoyed readng this book and discovered within a few pages that I was hooked and there was no way to stop reading. It moves along at a pace that is perfect for the story, speeding up and slowing down as needed. The characters are amazing and you feel as though you know them and no matter what happens you will love them. This book has to be on your TBR list, no doubt about it. You will not be sorry that you read it.
Poor Rylee just cannot catch a break. Whoever is doling out good luck seems to have absolutely skipped Rylee, Colton, Donny, Lennox and Teo. Mr Trevor is doing fine for now though. Seriously though, Trevor is kinda cute right?
But there’s so much drama and stuff going on and I simply cannot unpack it for you. Well, I won’t because you all need to read this because this series is amazing! I cannot wait for book 4!
Holy rollercoaster Batman! I am so hooked on this series, it isn’t even funny! The way these authors keep you on the edge of your seat, build such deep character profiles, have an amazing plot with intermingling sub plots, and still make you want to cry and laugh out loud, is incredible! Be sure to check trigger warnings as it does touch on some sensitive topics. Other than that dive in and prepare to have your world rocked! Just know you can’t have Donny, I licked him so he’s mine!
I am still reeling over what Riley and her men have been put thought. Mind is still completely blown. Riley is forced to leave school at the end of book two by a horrible headmaster because his daughter does not know the meaning of the word "no".
Get read for an emotional ride because the had me at the edge of my seat with all of the twists and turns the book had me going though. I am excited to see what these amazing authors think up for book 4.
Alisha and Amber did it again! I am obsessed with their Solidarity Academy, series and book 3 did not disappoint! Just when things seem to be going right for Riley and her men… outside forces keep threatening to derail their relationships! Just like being on a roller coaster there’s so many up and downs in this book and the cliffy!!! Holy Cow!!! Book 4 cannot come quick enough!
Ugh so I was expecting this to be the last book for whatever reason, turns out I was wrong…. The cliffhangerS in this one!!! How am I supposed to wait another year or so for the final book??? I swear there was always something going wrong throughout the entire book, just kept me on edge the entire time! Finished it in roughly 24 hours Cus I could hardly set it down!! Anyway you girls did it again, can’t wait for the next one!!!
So much has happened to Rylee in the previous two books that when things started to get better for her and the guys, I was sitting on pins and needles waiting for the other shoe to drop. And with a few unexpected twists and turns, the other shoe did drop and left us with one mind blowing cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see what happens next and I’m seriously hoping that Missi gets her comeuppance in the final book. No one would deserve it more.
WOW!! This series just keeps getting better and better!! Rylee has been through hell already in books 1 and 2, but unfortunately it's not quite over yet for her and the guys. This book continues to suck you in and take you on an emotional Rollercoaster full of twists and turns while keeping you on the edge! Warning....!! Prepare yourself for one hell of a cliffhanger!! 😲🤯 Need the next book ASAP!! Love these authors! ❤️
Raise ‘Em Up, book 3 of the Solidary Academy series by Amber Nicole @ambernicoleauthor & Alisha Williams @alishawilliamsauthor.
OMG, that cliffhanger was brutal! 😮 Such a fantastic book about Rylee & the guys. I loved it & can't wait for the last book to be released! If you like MM, RH, sports, guys doing cheer & step-siblings then this is the series for you!
I knew this was going to hurt but this was just mean! Things are finally going better, not rainbows and roses better, but there's happiness and cohesiveness. Some enemies get handled but not the nutrient of the bunch so then bam! We get hit with bad news that just breaks everyone.
Obviously I'm a masochist because I live it all - the drama, the hurt, the happy, the sexy - ALL of it! Looking forward to more.
From page one, I was pulled right into the story and didn’t want to put it down. It’s near magic when these two authors get together. There were so many twists and turns I didn’t see coming. And that ending?!?! Y’all, there were many tears shed during this reading. It’s just so so so good. I cannot wait to get my hands on the last book, but I’m also dreading having to say goodbye to these characters. If you haven’t started this series, what are you waiting for?
I both enjoyed and disliked this book in the series. A lot happens but it also has a lot of twists and turns that I don't think are needed based on the simplicity of the main storyline. I think if the main plot was more complex, the twists would have been great. This probably could have been a 2 or 3 book series. The ending definitely left me ready to read book 4 though! I give the book 2 peppers. Tropes include reverse harem and found family.
I forgot how much I missed Rylee and her men! Third installment of the series is fast paced with a good storyline. My heart breaks for Donny read it and find out why the adorable Donny goes from happy to sad but is blessed to have good friends around him. Lennox though! I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Wow, just when they start to get it together they loose it again. Rylee and her men need to definitely get their crap together. But more than anything they need to start fight for each other like they say they love each other.
But that ending has me needing the next book asap. Cause crazy Missi needs to be dealt with once and for all.
Whew, the drama continues and not in a way that I love to dig into but more of a car crash you can’t look away from, and so I keep trudging along. It has its good moments, but as I said in previous installment’s reviews, I just wish there was more depth all the way around, from characters to plot. Everything feels like a caricature and checklist.
