Volume 22 in the New York Times Bestselling Arrangement Series
Description: Everything has come to this one moment, this one night. The plan is ready to be executed. The sexy, dark billionaire Sean Ferro is at my side and in my bed. As the erotic tension between us deepens, I see the man he could be—the man he’s becoming. Sean has me in every possible way and swears to protect me from my enemies.

But there’s one thing he can’t save, one thing that’s fracturing inside of me and falling apart. My heart is dying in my chest as my demons plague me without warning. The darkness is vanishing from Sean's eyes and reappearing in mine. The monster within is feeding, ready to rear its head as I wait in horror, disgusted with the woman I’m becoming.

If I go through with this, if I cause the deaths of these people, there will be nothing left of me. But if I don’t fight back, I die. I don’t want to fight anymore, but there’s a tiny reason urging me on, a secret I’ve known for a while giving me strength to see this through.

Omg I need the next one. Who leaves it right there ?????? Love the way Sean has changed and yet he's always been the same underneath. My heart goes out to poor Avery and for once I cant see how she can get out of everything that's happened and have an happy ever after. But holly has a way of making these things happen and I for once can't wait to finally read the very last book on the most twisted yet loved up couple on the island

I ate these words off this page so fast. It is absolutely thrilling and suspenseful. I can only HOPE that there is a happy ending because right now it looks bad. Holly thank you so much for such a great ride with this series. Truly Talented.

I cannot believe that this is the PENULTIMATE BOOK!! This series has been my guilty pleasure and it has been one series that I have loved in it's entirety. The end is near for our Sean and Avery and HM Ward really ramps up the suspense and intrigue in this one and leaves you HANGING!!!! AND THE LAST BOOK IS SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 2017!!!! OMG!!! How am I expected to wait THAT LONG!!!

This book was bittersweet knowing that there will only be one more. But this is definitely a case of who to trust and sometimes you get it horribly wrong. It is us vs them, who will win?

A great instalment once again.

The plan to end this whole thing is in place. But Avery is starting to doubt herself because of what she believes she is becoming. She knows that Victor must die & she plans on being the one to do it. She also realizes she is becoming like Victor because of what must happen to be rid of him. There are no guarantees about the outcome so she spends her last chance to savor Sean before the chance is taken from her. She will fight to win, she has to tell Sean what she knows now to be true but won't tell him until everything is over.

Will leave you on the edge of your seat! How many books can you read that gives it all? The humor, suspense and some of the most steamy scenes you have read.....THIS BOOK HAS IT ALL!! I was left catching my breath with every passing page. The closer I got to the end, the more I was on the edge of my seat. I guarantee this book will leave you with an array of emotions bouncing off each other.
All the players in the game are ready to take down Vic Jr and Miss Black. Will the strategy they are planning be able to finally end all this terror? Henry, Mel, Marty, Sean & Avery are ready and know what's at stake. As their plan starts to take place, Sean & Avery realize exactly what this will mean and make sure they take advantage of their time together. But boy oh boy does Avery have a surprise for Sean. What will this mean when all is said and done.
As this series is slowly coming to an end, can Sean & Avery ever find peace? Can it ever be that simple? He's the Ferro everyone loves to hate and dreams about at night. But has he changed his way for the one woman who finally gets him?
Avery"s life will never be the same. She knows this. She has done things and seen things that will haunt her forever. But with Sean he helps put some of the light back in her life. When this is done will they be able to take that next step together in the light or will the darkness consume them Botha?
Can these two finally get some peace and find happiness with each other? Or will the ending be final for one or both of them? Hang on to your hats.....the ride is going to be bumpy!

NEXT BOOK NOW. Finally, it is ending...
This series had gradually become an action packed film where a group of people was trying to take down the villains. Dramatic or not?

The number of people in this series who are supposedly dead but turn out not to be is insane, so the ending of this book doesn't have the right impact at all... That's what happens when a series has so many books but the story keeps going around in circles...

I can't believe the end of the series is near!

Are you kidding me right now? Did that really just happen? I think this is one of my favorite installments in this series! I can't take it anymore! The arrangement is slowly killing me. I absolutely love these books! Holly gives us such great stories and leaves us wanting more! I don't know how much more my poor heart can take. I am horrified for poor Avery. I hope that Marty is all part of the plan, because I couldn't hate a character any more right now.

The build up in this installment was wonderful. Holly is able to weave her stories that draw you in and they don't let you go until the very last page. The saga of Sean and Avery must continue, as I have never looked more forward to a series than I do the Arrangement. Well done Mrs. Ward.

I received an ARC for an honest review. Plans have been formed to take down Black, Vic Jr. and anyone who is willing to take Avery and Sean's happiness away. As usual HM Ward throws in twists and turns of betrayal, love, life and death. How is Avery going to save herself, Sean and everyone she cares about? Will the plan win out in the end or will it be the end for all of them?

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

You’re sent into an action packed world, with love, fear, SHOCK and UTTER DISBELIEF and a whole lot of naughtiness... If you haven’t read this series, you’re totally missing out!!! One more book until the finale... ahhhh

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!!!

This book had more action and less steamy scenes. Avery and company are trying to come up with a plan to end Vic Jr and Ms Black once and for all. While trying to find something to help them, Sean uncovers a big secret that leaves him feeling overwhelmed. Avery gets an unexpected surprise but doesn't have time to tell anyone. The ending has a shocking twist that I'm curious as to how Avery is going to handle it.

It's all coming closer to that last book in the series. Players are finally getting ready to take Vic Jr out, along with Miss Black. Sean, Avery, Mel, Henry and Marty all have a part in this book. Love the way the author is setting things up, still lots of surprises along with intense twits and turns. Looking forward to the last book!

Good!

I chose this rating because this book was alright. I enjoyed most of the characters. Now it threw me for a loop at the end because I really thought Marty was on Avery and Sean side. He goes to show you you never know who you can trust . And I wonder what's gonna happen to Mel, Avery's friend. Great read. On to the next book

Gee. This is the second time Sean gets “killed” in this series. How stupid does this author think we are? Oh, that’s right. We are stupid because we’re still reading this crap! I’m just happy I haven’t sunk any money into it. Still a lot of points that don’t align with the rest of the series. The author once again forgets things she’s written in her prior books.

Nearly there..

My biggest issue with this book is Avery forever going on about killing someone- this might sound harsh, but move on! Also WTF Marty???
