Rebel Love #2

Rebel Soul

Rate this book
West Larson comes from old money—the kind of wealth that comes with expectations steeped in archaic traditions. So, it’s not surprising when he learns the conditions of his trust fund: produce an heir before he turns twenty-five.

Enter Stacia Kellan. Her lowkey personality makes her the perfect baby mama…without the drama. And thanks to her wild-ass hair, colorful tattoos, and smart mouth, she’s exactly the kind of girl his parents would never approve of. Add in the fact that she’s a total smokeshow…knocking her up certainly wouldn’t be a hardship.

Stacia lives her life fast and loud. The idea of settling down isn’t on her radar. So, when her long-time friend asks her to have his baby, her immediate answer is a big, fat hell-to-the-no. Seriously, is he crazy?

West pulls out all the stops in wooing her and with every heated encounter, Stacia finds herself falling a little more for his charm and wit. Oh, and his forearms… yum.

Obligations. Lust. Friendship. Love.

The lines begin to blur as emotions enter the equation and besides, everyone knows you can’t deny your rebel soul.

CUE ALL THE SWEET FEELS!

LK Farlow has done it again. Rebel Soul is the ultimate feel-good read packed full of emotion, laughs, and heat. The writing is beautiful and enraging and hooked me deep. I was left with a huge smile on my face. This book is one that’s meant to make the reader happy.

West and Stacia aren’t a match made in insta-love heaven. They’re long-time friends who’ve remained strictly platonic. I love how they strike a deal for the sake of business, but getting more out of their agreement isn’t easy. That tension is so delicious! These opposites attract like super-strength magnets. The fireworks make for an incredible experience!

The scenes unfold in perfect succession, building upon each other in an effortless flow. I was glued to the pages and completely addicted to these characters. The need to know what happens kept me up reading late into the night. West brings ALL THE SWOON! Don’t even bother protecting your heart because he’s about to steal it.

I’ve read all of LK’s books and this is my new favorite. She gives us a whole new level of epic with Rebel Soul. Definitely a must-read!

Rebel Soul was everything I didn't know I wanted to read. It's obvious from Farlow's writing that she has been pregnant many times and has children of her own the way the pregnancy and children in the book are written.

I've read many books where the hero must do things, like get married by a certain age in order to receive his inheritance, but Rebel Soul is a touch different than those, where a baby must be produced, and being a reader that loves the heroine getting knocked up... I just knew this book would do it for me. And I was correct!

There was drama in Rebel Soul, but not a ton of miscommunication, there could have been, there were lots of times when I thought it might go down frustration lane, but instead the couple handled things like... *gasps* ADULTS! They actually talked through what they were feeling and what was going on. It was refreshing.

West, y'all. OMG. This man was sweet as hell and not exactly what you would expect from after reading Rebel Heart. I love when my preconceived thoughts on a character are reversed by getting to know them. I fell in love with both West and Stacia's humor and they way they got know each other.

Rebel Soul is a hilarious friends to lovers romance with pregnancy and drama that had me hooked and not wanting to put the book down!

Hero needs to marry and/or have baby in order to get an inheritance. It's been done before, many times. But L.K Farlow was able to put her own spin on the storyline and delivered us an adorable story that had me intrigued from start to finish. West Larson needs to produce an heir in order to get his inheritance, no marriage required. Enter Stacia Kellan, who's already down on her luck and going through a tough financial time. She's also the woman West had a very hot make out session with that he can't get off of his mind. So she's perfect for him..except she wants nothing to do with his proposition.

West's character was a really nice blend of a mid-twenties playboy type but that was also mature and had good business sense. I liked that about him and it actually surprised me how grown up he acted since I wasn't expecting that. The same goes for Stacia. I love when characters in their twenties aren't acting super immature or like they have no worries besides deciding which party to go to next. So Ms. Farlow gets extra points in my mind for that.

Overall, I thought this was a great arranged-relationship type of story and I liked the little twists that were put into. Stacia and West kept the story interesting and I thought they made the perfect couple.

My Review:

HOLY SWOOOOON CITY!

I have a new favorite LK hero. His name is West! Hot damn that boy made my kitty purr... <--- you'll get this when you read the book. Bc you MUST read this book!

Rebel Soul is simply unputdownable. From the moment I read the first sentence, I was hooked. Farlow's writing is flawless--filled with great prose, witty banter, and perfect timing. Trust me when I say Rebel Soul is a gem, you don't want to miss!

Witty and heartwarming!!

despite the odds against them. West is put in a precarious situation and when Stacia faces a family crisis, they come together and sparks fly. West is a sweetheart who was born to rotten parents and raised by his loving grandmother. He treats Stacia like a queen. Stacia is relentless and willing to do whatever it takes to clear her family name.. This is a great love story that will make you swoon. Add in supportive friends and this story perfect. If you are looking for a book that makes you believe in love and a happily ever after, then Rebel Soul is your next 5 star read!!

Oh wow...
So, I have read a few books by this author now and I have come to love each one and each character that I've read about... This one now holds first place when it comes to my favorite reads by this author.
Where to start?

Well, Stacia comes across as a rough and tough kind of girl. She's covered in tattoos and for the most part, gives off the vibe that she is the rough kind but underneath all that is a sweet, kind, loving and soft girl.

West is a mirror of perfection. He's sexy, swoony, smooth and a character that had me weak at the knee as much as he had Stacia weak at hers.

Life-changing events and Stacia's life and everything she knows about it changes. Her father is done for embezzlement and sent to prison which leaves her with basically nothing. She has the idea of moving in with West. They both find themselves drawn to each other, something they did not see coming.

West is entitled to an inheritance, he must become a father and have a baby by the time he hits 25 which only leaves him a year. So when he goes in search of someone to be the mother of this child, who is the perfect person for the position? Stacia of course! But is the right thing for her to do? Is she the perfect woman to do it? What will that mean for these two? Will they actually have this baby?

You will have to read to find out!!

I loved this book. It's one of those books you can't help get lost in the plot. I laughed and I swooned, and I obsessed!

This book was hot, fun, enticing and all round an amazing read that had my attention from page one all the way through the very end!

It's a 5 star must read!

What can I say about this book? It's swoony, steamy, and full of sass. The dialogue between characters in this book had me laughing, the sweet gestures made me swoon, and Stacia's determination was heartwarming. I loved it.

LK Farlow's best work yet! Rebel Soul was a roller coaster of emotion and laughs. I'm still not sure if I fell harder for Stacia or West but let me tell you I LOVE THEM! Their chemistry is off the charts.

So I spent three hours this afternoon devouring my arc of Rebel Soul by LK Farlow. I seriously have no words because I never EVeR thought the day would happen that Alden WArner would be dethroned and damnit this woman did it. I fell head over heels in love with West as stacia did. I..I... just don’t know how to feel about that besides giving you a standing freaking ovation. I couldn’t help but smile at the top gear reference.

This book is swoony and sexy AF and their banter is amazing. I just want to be friends with all characters she writes.

Bravo bravo bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gemma's Review
I absolutely loved this story and could not get enough of West and Stacia. The story was incredible written and had me up into the early hours the morning because I could not put it down once I started reading it. I really loved how the two main characters were opposites making them even more perfect for each other.

Stacia I absolutely loved with the way she tried to help her family doing whatever she could to help them out.

West really made me swoon in the story with the rom antic things that he did for Stacia and how he tried to help her out.

I really enjoyed this couple and found they had a lot of chemistry between them. This such an enjoyable story with secondary characters that I really kujed in the story, This is a definite must read.

Marie's Review

This is definitely a feel-good book! Everything about this story and these characters make you happy. Rebel Soul by L.K. Farlow hooks you from the beginning and has you memorized until the end.

Stacia may be a Rebel Soul but she is also a Daddy’s girl and when her family needs her help, she steps up. Sometimes not making the wisest decisions, but her heart is in it. West was in a conundrum from the get-go, but he was determined.

His situation, her situation led to a mutual beneficial living agreement, as roommates, until the chemistry around them finally went BOOM! There is lots of back and forth, sassy and sexiness between West and Stacia, but OMG, the romance bursts of the pages. 5 Stars #2OCCMS

4.5 Star Review Rebel Soul by L.K.Farlow

L.K. Farlow is a relatively new author to me and why that is , I have no idea. The writing was strong and I found myself totally invested in West Larson and Stacia Kellan’s story.

In order to claim his inheritance, West must produce an heir before he turns twenty five. Turning to his an old friend Stacia, he asks her to have his baby and she immediately refuses. She has no intention of settling down any time soon. Stacia is the last woman his family will want him to be involved with, which makes her the perfect choice.

West refuses to take no for an answer and sets about a plan of attack to woo Stacia and get her to agree. I really liked West, there was something about him that ticked the boxes for me. Stacia is so feisty and sassy and I could easily see myself being friends with her.

There were times that I laughed and times that I was frustrated reading Rebel Soul but through it all you couldn’t help but cheer for West and Stacia to get their happily ever after. The chemistry between them is electrifying and the friendship and banter between them witty .

This was an entertaining story that is totally heart warming and made me smile.

An easy romantic comedy read.

This was a good “arranged baby” read. It’s trope-y AF, and a little over the top, but it is oh so good. It’s a pretty easy read, and things move pretty quickly, but I enjoyed it. I loved that West and Stacia just kind of fell into each other. Of course there were a ton of plot devices that help that along, but I loved them all. If you’re looking for an entertaining romantic comedy that flows well, then Rebel Soul is a winner.


Also..can’t wait for Colton’s book. If he’s getting one.

I wasn't sure how I felt about this book at first. West came across as a class A jerk and I didn't like him very much. But his situation was interesting and I wanted to see how that played out. I liked Stacia from the moment she appeared on the page and I felt for her and her family. I wanted to see how she would deal with the stress of everything she was dealing with. After meeting West's parents, I started to like him a little more and realized that maybe he wasn't so bad. But seeing him with Stacia is what really won me over and once I learned his whole backstory and why his grandmother's house was so important, I couldn't fault him for doing what he had to do. Stacia and West had me laughing from the moment they were on the page together. I enjoyed their back and forth and the sexual tension was high from the start. Once West started wooing Stacia it was clear he had a heart of gold and was such a sweetheart with a very dirty mouth that made me wonder how Stacia held out for as long as she did.

I enjoyed how strong but vulnerable Stacia was. She was so in over her head with everything her family was facing but she really loved them so she was willing to do any and everything to help them. Her fortitude had me rooting for her from the start. She was so passionate and funny. West was a jerk but a lovable one once you got to know him. He was pretty funny himself and I loved seeing him and Colton together. I also liked meeting AJ and Brock and Stacia's family. This was such a sweet, sexy, swoon-worthy, and really funny read and West and Stacia are my favorite couple for 2020 as of now!

O.M.G. This book is Incredible.!!
I absolutely LOVED it.
The Love story between Stacia and West left me smiling with delight.
friends to lovers/opposites attract kind of book, because appearance wise they look like quite the contrast Stacia with her colourful Tattoos and West a Rich business guy in his smart clothes ,but together they are like soul mates...I Loved these two they are such likeable characters, the banter they shared and the chemistry they have was addictive to read.
The story was Funny,sweet,sexy and smart it just had EVERYTHING you want in a Romance and West well you will fall head over heels in Love with him,he is one swoon worthy guy.The way he treated Stacia had me sighing with adoration....Plus we had the pleasure of having A.J and Brock within the pages too from Rebel Heart.
I have no bad things to say I cant find anything I didn't like about Rebel Soul, L.K Farlow has written a wonderfully entertaining, enjoyable reading experience which I highly recommend.

5 Cranky Stars


Normally we see these troupes of this rich guy falling for the girl that is his total opposite and sure you can say Rebel Soul is that but it’s so much more. You see West may be swimming in money and has alpha tendencies but he has a heart of gold and a sense of humor and Stacia is a fiery fake red head with tattoos and piercings who is stubborn as hell but when she loves someone she loves with her whole being. Rebel Soul is their story and boy what a sweet sexy ride it was. I was cheering them on till the end. Heck I even swooned a few times especially when West carried her out of her sketchy second job like he was Richard Gere, and this was An Officer and a Gentleman.


Stacia has been dealt a huge blow. The life she used to know is in shambles and it has her family scattered and her dad sitting in the one place he doesn’t belong. After coming to terms with what she must do AJ suggests she rents a room from West and well that went over as well as baptizing a cat until Stacia learns it’s really her only choice. Stubborn and has huge pride thy name is Stacia. Upon learning what It will take to get her dad back home she sets out to max out the hours at work and takes up a second job. Let’s just say she applies to some interesting places. It’s one of these places that West really takes notice of Stacia and the feelings he has inside for her. West is rich like giraffe rich own a G wagon rich. He wants to help Stacia, but he knows that is not how she operates. When he learns the stipulations of his grandmas will he pitches a fit then comes to realize ok maybe I can make this work. Slowly but surely, he realizes that he wants Stacia to be that person. West woos her like no man before and those little feelings he felt before grow by leaps and bounds and now he must convince her this is the right idea to help everyone around them but it’s so much more than just a means to an end for both Stacia and West.


LK Farlow made me miss the days of going to an OB-Gyn and hearing that heartbeat for the first time. My baby is now 10 and there will be no more but just for a moment in time LK Farlow made me miss that. I adored these two they cracked me up. I also related a lot of Stacia I hate asking for help even from my own husband I guess just because of how I was raised. I also related to her because I freaking love The Grand Tour and the hosts and seriously the Eboladome has the best name.


West was a total hunk. I mean he could pull a Richy Rich and swim in his money, but he didn’t so how he turned out that way is beside me especially once you meet his parents. Vile humans are what they are. So, go go go read this book and you even get to see AJ and Brock too! Score! LK Farlow once again knocks it out the park with her small town romance.

This is a first for me this author and book and I definitely wasn't disappointed, I enjoyed this book immensely and so will you. Rebel Soul is an awesome read.

West Larson comes from money.
He has a problem though to be able to have access to his trust fund he needs to produce an heir by the time he's 25. Problem 1 he's already 24 and problem 2 he doesn't have a baby mama.

Stacia Kellan is so different to anyone else she takes no crap from anyone. She has tattoos, a smart mouth and gorgeous hair and is a make up artist. She's the long time friend of West and they have a lot of banter between them and a very strong friendship. However when he asks her to have his baby she flat out refuses. West has decided though she's the perfect person to be his baby mama and tries to woo her in every way he can.

This book was well written and I loved reading West and Stacia story and I loved the characters. I feel the author writes them brilliantly, there powerful in there own right and I enjoyed watching them become who they are meant be.

They are best friends and trying to keep the friends - lovers line separate is harder than they think.
Can there relationship between them remain platonic?

I absolutely loved these characters and I loved Stacia she'd make an awesome friend. West is a great alpha male but is a really good guy. The love they have building between them, their connection and their chemistry is of the charts.

This book is told from different points of view which I always prefer.

This book is a complete page turner and I just couldn't put it down.
I absolutely loved this book and I cannot wait to read more from this author in the future. I will be highly recommending this book to everyone when it gets released.

Thank you to the author and publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.

Ah, this book! Oh my gourd, West and Stacia absconded with my heart. And just like that, this author has a new fan for life.

West Larson's grandfather has created quite a conundrum. If West wants to inherit his grandfather's estate and the only place West has ever called home, he must produce an heir by his twenty-fifth birthday. Stacia Kellan is West's friend, but not someone he's ever considered in a romantic sense. But when Stacia's family finds the trouble of all troubles, West may be able to convince Stacia that an arrangement between them can be mutually beneficial.

If you like humor in your reading, this is your book. From baby mama auditions to West's friend and curmudgeonly attorney, Colton, and everything in between, it will keep you in stitches. Then there's the steam, and H O L Y, I thought my Kindle would go up in flames. Lest you think it’s all fun and games, this one goes deep, and some of the scenes are so poignant and touching I don’t think my heart will ever recover.

I adore everything about West and Stacia, and I love how beautifully crafted they are. While they seem to have nothing in common, they’re both strong, complex, big-hearted, loyal and oh so endearing. I appreciate that the author relied on external sources for the conflict and that it served to help the characters grow individually, as well as bringing them closer together.

This book will take your emotions on the best kind of ride in the most delicious way, and I recommend running to the 1-Click button and immersing yourself in all things West and Stacia immediately!

Finished this one last night and loved it! It was a different storyline than you normally see, which I think was so intriguing. But it was still full of love and humor, and I just really enjoyed it. Stacia and West were hot together and his need to protect her and love her grabbed your heartstrings. Great story!

Rebel Soul by LK Farlow
“Friends to lovers, 4 stars”

I enjoyed Rebel Soul. I love a good opposite’s attract romance and well West and Stacia are definitely opposites. They balanced each other well. I liked their witty banter between the two. Add in the secondary characters and it was a solid read.
West was blindsided by the clause in his trust saying he needs to have an heir before he turns 25. He’s currently 24, which leaves him with little time. When his friend Stacia needs help he’s quick to jump in. Then when one-night things get a little hot between the two he can’t help but wonder if she would make the perfect baby mama. The question is, can he convince her? Only one way to find out.

LK Farlow has given the best female character I have ever read. Yes, ever read!!

Stacia and West’s story is unconventional to say the least. West is a delicious alpha male that day by day worms himself into Stacia’s heart. Stacia will do anything she can to save her family from complete ruin. But with life in a complete uproar for Stacia, can they manage to find an agreement?
Will they realize things don’t always work out like they plan?

This is a seriously off the charts, sexy as hell book that you will completely consume. LK is one of the most beautiful, giving authors. Please stay tuned, add her to your one click, she will always publish amazing stories.

I loved this book! Rebel Soul is the perfect mixture of humor, friendship, heart, heat, and some pretty complicated moments. I am not going to go into details because anything I say could be a spoiler (and those are awful) I will tell you that I liked every single moment of this book. It had some super hot moments, some really special ones, and then some that you were so frustrated because you wish you could help moments. All in all, I 100% recommend you read this book, like right now! 5 stars!

PS: Thank you to LK Farlow and Candi Kane PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!

Had to stop so grossed out.

They’ve known each other through mutual friends for a year and they even made out with each other the year prior. He’s been thinking of the heroine but the NIGHT THEY MET A YEAR AGO HE FUCKED SOMEONE ELSE.

I could vomit!!!!!

“She was so damn alluring—different than any other woman I’d ever been with. She was wearing blue lipstick, for Christ’s sake. And even though she wasn’t the woman I took home with me that night, she’s definitely the one I thought about as I came.” 🤢🤢 what kinda of garbage is this

I'm not ashamed to say I devoured this book to the point where I ignored my family. I loved Stacia in Rebel Heart. She was the ultimate bff. And with this book, she was a badass you wanted to be. And West? Stop. My ovaries are on overload. It was a sweet, heartbreaking, and heartwarming story. I laughed, I cried, and I swooned. L.K. Farlow will be an author on my consistent reading list. She hasn't done me wrong.
