After the death of her twin, Joselyn Ferro decides to make radical changes to her life. She's done with loser boyfriends who only her for her body and the billions she'll inherit. It's time to start over.
The only problem is her family. She's a Ferro, the only woman of her generation in a family filled with strong, alpha men. They spell it out for her: NO career and NO getting caught with anything between her legs--whether it's a cello or a lover.
Determined to begin again, Joselyn grabs a fake name and a new look, packs up her musical talent, and heads straight to the New York Symphony. A bit of luck combined with a fluke lands her a coveted seat in the cello section.
Her best friend hooks her up with an easy date, the perfect type of man candy to celebrate her newfound freedom. But when things get hot and heavy, Joselyn realizes she went home with the wrong guy. She bolts spewing lame excuses, terrified he'll blab to the press.
The next day, as Joselyn takes last chair in a section full of men. When she glances up to meet her new conductor she sees the man from the night before. If he recognizes her and figures out who she really is, her new life is over before it has a chance to begin.

[Leslie Atkinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book as an ARC as a loyal HM Ward reader. To ensure I could give this book justice, I re-read Easy before I started the ARC. I wanted the story to be fresh as it had been years since I read the first book. Easy 2 picks up on a slight cliffhanger from Easy. You already like Jos/Bree, but as a reader, you have questions about her: what happened? why did she run? who is she hiding from? I will keep this a spoiler-free review, so I'll say you get a sniff of the backstory, but it's enough to pique your curiosity and keep reading. You're questioning her, rooting for her, and wanting to protect her all at the same time. Although Jos/Bree is the Ferro in this book, Chase holds true to Ward's style and is dashing and more than meets the eye. The end of the book is a FANTASTIC cliffhanger, far better than the ending of Easy. I'm going to be on the edge of my seat waiting for the next installment. I truly hope Ward has plans to keep this story going in the coming months.

Finally, the Ferro family (well, one of them) has returned. After everything Jos went through in Easy 1, watching her find a bit more of herself is one of the most wonderful parts of this story. Easy 2 is a breath of fresh air in the tumultuous storm that is the Ferro clan. “Watching” someone be who they want to be in a world where that can seemingly never be possible is beautiful. Jos’ true spirit and soul shine bright throughout this book, making her journey one you cannot help but become invested in. In true HM Ward fashion, we are left on the edge of our seats begging for just one more page. Yet another amazing addition to the Ferro universe!

Received the book as an ARC from the author. I wanted a chance to reread Easy 1 to refresh my memory, but I didn't have time. However as I began reading the book, everything came flying back. I am glad that this series is moving forward again. If you read and loved Easy 1, you will love Easy 2. Again we are left with a cliffhanger, but I can't wait until the next book. Good job Holly.

Ferro Love! Jos/Bre has a secret, but so does Chase. Jos knows this but still puts herself in his hands. The story moves a little slow but knowing the back story of the Ferro's, you know it won't stay that way, it just doesn't happen like you expect. I've read the entire Arrangement stories, and all the "spinoffs" so I had that niggle telling me oh no, I was right. I hope the next installment answers the questions.

I received an advance review copy of Easy 2. HMWard is back! I cannot wait for more. The excitement of Bree/Jos and Chase's story is just starting. I love/hate these quick reads and cliffhangers. I'm ready for Easy 3! (OH, and the Ferros bonus at the end....chef's kiss) Keep them coming!

I have waited years for this second book and I wasn’t disappointed. The banter is amazing and the tension between the characters is hot 🥵 I can’t wait for the next book

It Was A Good Short Story.

But I felt like it was missing something of the old stories. I had slot of problems getting into the characters of this story. Sorry.!

Awesome Book!!!

I absolutely loved this book. So excited to read book three. The story keeps you wanting more and Holly you ended perfectly to keep everyone on that cliff of wanting more. I'm looking forward to all of your releases to continue to add to my collection of your work. I can't wait to see what happens with Jos and Chase. Love me some Ferros!!!
