The sexy billionaire laying next to me
has asked me the one question I've been longing to hear. Sean Ferro is finally there, ready to marry me. All I have to do to live happily ever after is destroy my enemies, kill my brother, and try not to lose myself in the process.

As it is, I feel like I'm becoming unhinged. Past sins are pressing against my mind, demanding to be dealt with, but I can't open the floodgates. I can't let those demons see the light of day. My actions are so far beyond shades of grey that I worry I'll destroy everyone around me--Sean included.

I never thought it would be difficult to say yes to the sexy, naked man laying in my arms. I want the happily ever after, but I'm not sure I have what it takes to get there.

I cannot rate this one low enough. I have waited the past few releases to see this story get better and instead it just has more and more filler with a bit of the actual story. 3/4 of it is a damn love scene and a boring one at that and then just a bit of the actual meat of the story has been going on with Avery and Sean. Took the whole book to find out what they would do next and really it was all said in the last few pages of the book. Avery and Sean are now dead to me, they got a bullet between the eyes the pair of them from a bored reader. I am so done with this series.

The Arrangement 21 is a race between good Sean and dark Sean until Avery makes them collide for an earth shattering, highly intensified moment that will have you questioning if anyone could walk away from the wreckage of their relationship. This book is the best yet out of The Arrangement Series. Wicked hot moments with a slight touch of tenderness is what makes this book come to life. Another roller coaster of a read from HM Ward... Only 2 more to go before the ride ends. Hop on board and throw your hands in the air!

So as you might not know, there is an end in sight to this series....it ends at 23. Why am I telling you this, because this is the book that shows there's a light at the end of the tunnel. It is the one that starts to set up the end. With that being said, it cannot be read as a stand alone and there are threads brought back in to the story that won't make sense if you haven't read the entire series from the beginning (i.e a reference to brooms and history with past characters). With that aside, why did I only rate it two stars, well because there wasn't much to the story. My kindle said it was roughly 122 pages but honestly aside from a sex scene that left me with more technical questions than anything else and some alternative plots being thought about in the heroine's head that the reader isn't privy to, not much else happens. Would I recommend spending yet another $2.99 on the book, probably not. It's so close to the end, you might want to wait for 22 & 23. Better yet, let me summarize the book for you to save you the money. So stop here if you don't want to know and want to waste your $2.99.



*update* as of 4.16.18, I just got a newsletter from the author whom said she "retired" but has been bombarded with sooooo many fan emails, that she's bringing the Arrangement back after ending it at #23. So yes, there's going to a #24.....uggggg!

Holy shit... Did I seriously just read this?!?!?... It's crazy to think, just 20 installments ago it all started with one tall, unbelievably dark and handsome man on a motorcycle and beautiful women with a flare for starting her car with a spray can!

In AR21, Avery & Sean's relationship enters the next level. It's not your typical love story by any means, but they're starting to learn how truly perfect it is for them. Finally able to accept the dark, with all the light in each other, Avery & Sean make the decision to stop running and face their fears head on. If only they could break away from the demons of their past, they might truly have a shot at a HEA.

Ms. Ward has COMPLETELY outdone herself this time!!! The feelings this installment evoke are like no other and it's beyond bittersweet to know we are creeping closer to the end. I simply cannot wait for AR22!!

As usual, I love anything Sean and Avery! Arrangement 21 occurs at Henry's creepy (and I MEAN CREEPY) house and is gaining speed toward the BIG ending. (H. M. Ward has announced 23 books so we are getting close!) Sean and Avery continue to explore their love for one another and test their limits and trust. The dark cloud that has followed them for 21 editions is no closer to dispersing. Will they EVER get their HEA? Will the world EVER stop interfering? And where's that evil mother of his anyway? Lurking somewhere cutting the heads off baby dolls I'm sure!
The final showdown is approaching! Knowing this author and loving her writing style, I'm sure it'll be hotter than high noon at the O.K. Corral!
Come on Deuces (book 22 for those of you who don't speak dice)!

This series seems to get more and more out there. Avery is getting on my nerves and it would be nice to have Sean's pov.

This series needs to end already. It has been dragged on for way to long. These characters could have had their happy ending or non happy ending many books ago.

I will not be purchasing any more. This story is too pricy. $2.99 * 21 = $63.00. Need I say more.

For the first time, I had appreciate it if there weren't so many twists in a story. JUST END IT FAST. That steamy portion? Not my cuppa of tea though. It's too dark...

Avery must face her brother & come out ahead in order to live the life she dreamed of with Sean. She just isn't sure how to not loose herself when it comes time to end Victor's life. Everything that has happened, all the evils she has seen lead to this last confrontation with Victor. Only one will walk away when the dust settles. Sean is ready to commit everything to Avery, she just needs to believe in what she is doing in order to move forward.

In this volume of the Arrangement we see the many faces of Sean Ferro. Some you love, some you hate, and some you love to hate.
First there is Sweet Sean who says all the right things to Avery, when she needs them the most. “You’re my soulmate, my everything.”
Next there is Dirty-flirty Sean who also says all the right things to Avery, “I love you Spray Start Car Girl. Forever.”
Then all of the sudden we see Dark Sean, the Sean who pushes Avery past her limits, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but I don’t know if you can handle it.”
Finally, Commanding Sean who can step into an out of control situation and bring it under his command with just a phrase “Stop this, now.”
This volume of The Arrangement has so many twists and turns, it will have you burning up your e-reader turning pages. I felt so many different emotions while reading, and with each plot twist my emotions twisted right along. I was happy, excited, laughed out loud, nervous, sad and hopeful. And that cliffhanger!!! I actually thought my kindle had frozen when I came to the end. I just knew it couldn’t have ended there. I will be not-so-patiently waiting for the next volume. I can’t wait to see how Ms. Ward wraps things up in the next two Arrangement installments.

A jam-packed, intensely erotic volume, The Arrangement 21 shows a bit of Sean's softer side. But don't you fret, there's sexy time, comedy, brainstorming and scheming present too.

Will Avery ever believe in herself? Can she trust Sean to protect her from her deepest fears? Will she follow-through with her plan B? Should she confide in someone else? Can Avery say with conviction that her plan would work? Will Sean see through her charade? And most importantly, can Avery accept her future?

Living a normal life is all relative. Can Avery and Sean pull it off? When will it be their turn for an HEA? H.M. Ward has created a dynasty that encompasses love, power and a close tight circle of trust. But will this Ferro pull off the impossible? Can Sean have his Spray Start Girl and a happily ever after that everyone can live with?

So we're getting closer to the end of this series and my nerves are shot! I hate this is all going to end, but I can't wait either. So exciting to see where Sean and Avery end up. I'm kinda freaking out over the "Light side" Sean and those tender feelings he's been sharing. I'm so used to the Dark, Broody and slightly twisted fella it's taking me time to get used to umm his sweetness. I found myself melting every time he spoke and every action he made. Ugh! Makes me feel all girly ;) Of course this was another great read in this ongoing series and I love guessing on what's to come. Will Sean and Avery make it to the alter? Will freaky deaky Momma C pop up? Will Mel actually fall for Henry? ( She's a little psycho as well ) Thanks Holly, i'll be counting down the days until the next installment..

I will start this review by saying I love HM Ward and how she writes, I have read everything she has written so far and will continue to do so, BUT! I just could not get into this read, I don't know if it has now gone on too long or if there is too much time between each part but I found myself forgetting what had happened to Sean and Avery in the early parts! Even some of the people they mention I had difficulty remembering what part they played in this....and because of that I just felt this part didn't do it for me! I don't feel that I know any more about the characters, I don't know what to think about how this will end and to be honest I don't know if I care! I have never ever felt this way about this author before but I will continue reading. Sorry if this is a bit negative but don't think this part added anything to the arrangement as a whole.

The end is in sight...The Arrangement 23 will be the final instalment in this series and we will finally be able to see if Sean and Avery finally get their HEA.

This book was intense for both Sean and Avery as they finally make the decision to stop running and fight for their themselves. This was fairly action packed but had some great tender moments and was really quite emotional. If any two people deserve a HEA it is these two and while I am no closer to understanding who is really behind all their problems there are a lot of players involved.

I cannot wait to see how these series finally finishes. Who would have thought we would still be here after first meeting our dark, damaged man and a skint student who had a penchant for starting her car with a spray start?

amazing as if she could not top the box.....but she did withe the tank lol. and how come the shed isn't really a shed? you have me laughing in every single book you write. and why oh why would Mel ever have a crush on psycho (Henry VIII) lol. The way Sean asked (spoiler) Avery to Marry was so sweet. I fell in love all over again. a bitter sweet to an almost end. amazing book Holly. Well done once again.

Kinda getting over this plot. Just seems one thing after another. That being said, I still keep reading them to see the end. Apparently there are only 2 more! So I suppose I will finish :)

This past week I’ve read a few more of Holly’s books and I remember now why she was (and is) 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!!!

Another very quick read, yet very intense with Sean and Avery getting closer. Love the way this author writes, this series takes you on such a ride, you don't know what's going to happen next. Still some dark scenes that are difficult to get through, but it makes Sean and Avery the couple they are. Great addition to the series, But do not like the short installments.

Ahora este chica es la que tiene los problemas con las oscuridad, siempre digo abraza tanto lo blanco como lo negro, pero alimenta solo al que prefieras, esa es la única elección que debes hacer cuando te encuentras en esta situación.
