I'm in complete awe of H.M. Ward. The Arrangement 20, yes 20, is jam-packed with revaluations. Holly had me in a trance from page one and didn't ease up throughout the volume.
After a roller coaster of emotions in AR 19, H.M. Ward gives you laughter and optimism in AR 20. The scheming has started to unravel, questions are beginning to be answered and truths and beautiful heartfelt declarations are revealed. The queen of contemporary romance has me speechless...now that's saying a lot.
Will Sean survive? Will Vic Jr allow Avery to move forward? Can she find peace? Mel makes a grand appearance and Gabe shows his true colors. Other players are on-hand and the saga continues. Yes, life would not be complete without a cliffhanger but this one is fabulous and will leave you with hope. Amazingly written and from different POV's, Arrangement 20 is outstanding. A must, MUST read.

Yes, yes... Book 20!!!!! My prediction came true! What a joke... Twenty books, are you for real? This is a complete rip off series... And this author is banned from my book shelf and kindle!!
This started off as a really good story which could of concluded in 2 normal size books but no, let's rip off the readers..... I'm glad I gave up a longtime ago!

After 20 volumes of the Arrangement series, HM Ward continues to keep me hooked on Sean and Avery's story.
In The Arrangement 20 Ms. Ward has provided us with answers to many of our questions from the previous volumes. The turn of events either confirm or completely blow away the theories so many readers have formed in the previous 19 volumes. There were moments of sadness, suspense, happiness, tenderness, a few laugh out loud moments and of course the sexiness we have come to expect from HM Ward novels.
In AR 20 we saw a glimpse into the future of the Ferro Family Empire. Will Avery be strong enough to fight the demon that is her brother, and save the Ferro family or will he be the one to take it all away from her?
I gave The Arrangement 20 5 very enthusiastic stars! I will be waiting on pins and needles for The Arrangement 21!

"You can't torch your demons, and where i come from, demons never die."
THIS is the book you have been waiting for! Conspiracy theories be damned! Haha
You want answers, come and get it.
AR19 shattered me! I was a ball of blubbering mess for days, DAYS!!
One thing I absolutely love about the AR series, is it picks up exactly where the other left off. You’re not walking in lost, you walk in when the getting gets good.
Avery is one strong willed woman. After all she has been through, she moves on. Enduring all the pain from current events leaves her feeling lost and unsure. She knows one thing. This needs to end. Enough is enough! Avery is in survival mode. Watch out Vic Jr.
Holly, reading this book “I think you broke my face.”
Hahaha, yes I had so many emotions, I’m sure you broke my face. LOL!

****************ARC REVIEW*********************
Ok sooo I did not expect the ending to this but hey when did I ever expect any of the other 19 books to this series to end the way they did. Holly is so creative and has such a complex mind to write the stories that she does everyone with countless plot twist and every Ferro series intertwines with one another its truly remarkable. In this installment of the AR series starts off where the last one leaves off. The emotional roller-coaster you're on with this book is nothing short of intense. Head out and get it now.

A lot is answered and for every answer there is another question. Who is friend and who is foe? We learn a lot of background information and the waters just get muddier, nothing is as it seems and as usual I am just left wanting more at the end.
August 4, 2015
This instalment picks up right where we left off and we hit the ground not running, but sprinting !
It was like riding an emotional rollercoaster.
Avery finds herself in the most unenviable position, without the man she loves ? So quite honestly does anything matter anymore?
She is left facing the most evil character, her own half brother Vic Jr.
It was great to see some characters returning to the story. Tying some loose ends ! Giving us answers to some of our many questions and theories. Unveiling shocking revelations that place Avery in a hideous position.
A hideous position that will have to used, in order to close the door firmly once and for all on the debacle that has become her 'life'
The best part was seeing Sean unravel before our eyes, he was everything I ever felt he should be behind the dark facade.
Sean's POV just blew me away. The feelings, that we have only seen glimpses of before just fly off the pages.................The descriptions that Holly writes are mind blowing.
Fell in love with Sean all over again!
Although I know this phenomenal series is drawing to a close, I can't wait for the next part !!!!!!

There are so many things answered in this book. Everything is starting to fall into place and it looks like an end may be near. I don't want to give much away so this is a hard review to write because I don't like to give spoilers. But I will say that you will get answers about Mel in the book, as well as more information. Get ready for many pieces to start falling into place!!
August 6, 2015
This installment was everything I wanted! After the ending of 19 with Avery and Vic JR I didn't know what to expect it was literally an omg moment, Sean had to live damn it!
H.M Ward you are spectacular with your roller coaster twist and turns.. The Arrangement has always been a dark read but this is were you realize how dark it truly is. The lengths that Ms Black and Vic Jr will go to for power is staggering, it made for riveting reading.
It's like pieces of the puzzle have finally fallen into place, and we now see who is playing on which team. I'm super happy to see Mel and Gabe again!
I have faith in our Romeo and Juliet they have a plan and will succeed stronger then ever I FEEL IT and can't wait for the next installment.
20 was EVERYTHING

THE ARRANGEMENT 20, what can I say other than heart-wrenching, shocking, and emotional! This installment starts right where THE ARRANGEMENT 19 left off. I love how developed and bold HM Ward’s female characters are. Avery has a resilience that makes you want to root for her all the way. But, have to say HM Ward manages to create the MOST evil, pretty memorable “bad guy” and I don’t use that term lightly in all of her books. If you thought Connie Ferro was cold and evil. Think again, Victor Jr. makes daddy Campone and Permafrost look like Bambi. This book is about a fight for life and love. From the POVs to the storyline, THE ARRANGEMENT 20 will make you want to NEVER let go of your favorite characters.

ok so I know I said I was done but saw all the positive reviews so I got suckered in. Well it was ok. Not nearly as bad as the last few but IT REALLY NEEDS TO JUST END ALREADY! Everyone kept saying Sean was back that I didn't really see I felt Sean was being sappy (is he normally sappy, nope I don't think so) and its like really how many times can someone be shot and live. I think the best part of the book was Mel coming back. I don't know I gave it 3 stars Please just give us our HAPPY EVER AFTER in the next book and call it THE END PLEASE!
August 11, 2015
Ok!!!
I'm really not liking the short stories for the same price! 1 they are getting shorter. 2 they always leave you hanging and feeling like nothing has been revealed. Just the fact that you get pulled in makes you want to keep reading but the price is just outrageous! $2.99 really adds up. Make a novel and get it over with. Or make 2 books for that price with it only being no more than 160 pages!!!!

Another short, cliffhanger. Although it was still a good book, I can't wait until the series ends, if it ever does, lol
I love Avery and Sean and just wish there story would finish already. I mean it's only been a couple of years. lol
Please hurry with 21, there's actually 2 cliffhangers in this book. lol

Think this volume should be call revelations, due to story explanations and relationship interactions. We are led to believe Constance (bitch) Ferro is dead and buried. There is a life or death status regarding Sean. There is a hint about Mr. Ferro & his relationship with his sons and his spouse. (Could he be the biggest prick of them all?) What was the deal with Henry Thomas? Who is Mel B? Is she a friend or foe? Big Gabe makes a reappearance and no not on the Empire State Building. Madam extraordinaire Ms. Black is it possible she be able and willing to help Avery? Hopefully, in the next volume we will find out whether or not Vic Jr. gets his due as well as the rest of the Characters.

Holy crap! I LoVED this segment. The heart ache of Sean being shot I felt at the end of 19 was almost too much to bear.....then 20 comes along and you not only have to relive the fact Sean is shot, but Avery's earth shattering heart break of loosing her true love. There are many questions answered in this segment. Plans are laid out and preparations for a kick ass finally is on the horizon.
There are twists and turns in this segment making you feel like you are one ORGASMIC roller coaster, the whole way through you want more.
So happy some of the characters make an appearance in helping right so many wrongs!
Can't wait for 21 to see Avery kick some serious ass!

Oh Holly I love and hate you all at the same time. These cliff hangers kill me every single time. I love this Sean. This is the Sean I've yearned for throughout this entire series. He's finally letting his walls down and admitting his true feelings for Avery. He's so hard and cold most of the time. But Avery has made him want more. He wants the white picket fence and babies. God I love this Sean. I just hope their plan to take down Vic works. I want these two to get their happy ever after. I can't believe he wants to elope. Oh Holly I need more now. Freaking love this series so much. I've never been addicted to a series like this one.
August 12, 2015
I loved this installment of The Arrangement! Avery & Sean are such a fun and sexy couple.. all us Ferro fans are hoping for a spectacular ending to this story and I finally believe it may happen...( we really don't want it to end though ). This book shows how much Sean has opened up and become the person he always wanted to be.. thank goodness he's still around! The ending simply blew my mind..What the heck will Avery do? I can't wait to find out if Avery & Sean will have their happily ever after... Thanks Holly for another outstanding chapter in The Arrangement series....
August 5, 2015
Just when you think that the plot of this series couldn't thicken anymore..... Well it has and it's amazing....this book is most definitely the turning point of this whole series...
Old favourites as in Mel and Gabe return in the aftermath of the huge cliffy in AR19. They reveal Miss Black's sordid plans and dodgy dealings, which had been left unanswered for several volumes.
I enjoyed the return of Mel and her smart mouth and her tell it as it is attitude and she brought light to a pretty dark volume......
Watch out for a surprise POV and some swooning.......

I cannot even believe how this book unfolds. It would be hard to go into too much detail without totally giving away spoilers. What I am going to say is OMG! OMG! OMG! You are not going to believe what happens in this book. I'll give you one little taste of what's to come. Mel is back and she is sassy as ever. You won't believe all the info you find out about in this book. I am jumping up and down clapping my hands. I love this installment! Bring on the Arrangement 21!!

When this series first started it was so engaging and addictive and I loved it now there are just so many parts to it I find I have lost track of the whole series.

I know I’ve been slow going writing reviews but when you live with chronic pain, it’s not often I get to sit down and read anymore. This past week I’ve read a few more of Holly’s books and I remember now why she was my favourite artist.
You’re sent into an action packed world, with love, fear and a whole lot of naughtiness... If you haven’t read this series, you’re totally missing out!!!
Remember this isn’t a full series yet so be prepared to scream when you’re finished, because it leaves you with a humdinger of a cliffhanger. Thank God I have the next few books otherwise...well no sense in saying it...
Back to find out what happens next, if my heart can take it!!!

September 9, 2022i think im done, I was over it the last two books and then this one I skimmed most of it.
I think it started out okay, I was a little bit eh about the call girl thing, one client a call girl does not make, then the madam thing, then it started going all down hill each book, I mean, I missed amber being a cop completely, and then where did bryan stuff come from that confused me then we get to the capones or whatever their name is, and the back and forth and ugh, so much ugh.... but I kept on cause I was waiting to get to the HEA, but the HEA is lost somewhere cause there are too many turns for me to be interested anymore.

Not sure
Okay so I still really like this book ; however and *spoiler alert* although you have to read these in order to know what's going on.....Anyway, in this one he comes back and I get it her psycho brother almost killed him now he realizes he can't live without her, but he shows up out of nowhere, they have a two second conversation about it and all is well?? They've talked longer about the tree house his dad built for him, or the car he hid from his brother....It's weird but it could come up later.....

Avery decides the only way to save Sean is to push him away. Just as Avery drives the final nail in the coffin by lying to Sean about her feelings, her half brother Victor shows up. What happens next is the worst thing that Avery could every imagine, she hears a gun shot & sees Sean fall to the ground. In that moment, Avery feels as if the whole world has just swallowed her whole.

Nearly the end
Things are coming together - it’s really nice reading this KNOWING THAT THERE IS AN END IN SIGHT!!
I know the idea of a fan driven serial was a new one, but I didn’t enjoy it... so I stopped reading them at no. 17... but now they are all out, I’ve binged from no. 1 and will keep going through!

Yet another intense installment in the turmoil of Sean and Avery's story. Loved the way this author keeps you completely engaged, twists and turns throughout the entire book, chemistry once again jumps off the pages with these two. Very quick read, which the only reason for the 4 star rating.
December 5, 2017
My rating for this book is 4.0 stars.
Esto se esta poniendo bueno, por fin algo se esta cocinando y no es un simple chiste. Ya quiero descubrir como sera la venganza de Ferro contra Vic Jr, en enfermo mental.
