The Challenge #2
Tearaways
Having survived The Challenge, Olivia is now hitting the road with her five sexy men. Seeing them all dressed in tight leathers, with big, growling Harleys between their legs, is enough to have her pulse racing and her mouth watering. So naturally, before long bonds strengthen, love blooms and they're all enjoying the ride of their lives.
But with little more than bikes and the clothes on their backs, how will they survive a long, arduous journey? Having a billionaire's heir in their midst is no help when Dante Vidal is insisting on them being cashless and having to work for their supper.
Amongst all of that, Olivia finds herself performing a complex juggling act. Having Alpha males sparring, sparks flying and tempers flaring needs a strong woman to take charge. Is she up for the challenge of keeping her men happy, connected and most of all satisfied? One thing is for sure, it's a task she's willing to throw herself into heart, body and soul.

Having enjoyed the first book in the series, Castaways, as well as this introduction to reverse harem romance (a new thing for me), I was eager to find out what would happen to Olivia and her bunch of hunks next. Especially since it involves motorbikes!
The next part of their adventure takes place in the USA, where Olivia and the boys take off across the country on Harleys, getting into scrapes and sexy situations along the way. The various relationships grow and mature, and it's really intriguing to see how the whole dynamic develops. There's also a great lead-in to the following book, but without it being a cliffhanger.
Overall, a great addition to the series and one that, once more, made me eager to find out what happened next.

I do appreciate the fact that for the most part, this author agrees with my instant gratification. I don't like having to wait to million Pages just to see some kinky action. I'm exaggerating of course. But you get my point. The book was interesting. I do not like the slut shaming at the end though.

This was so good, i really get the adult feeling from this one. And i like the fact that she is not the typical girl that likes clothes , make up and so on. Instead she like cars and she is very handy and can fix things(machines)

Really digging this series. Read the first two books today and about to start the third right now even though I should be sleeping. I need to know what happens. Poor Mas. Really not digging Paul though.

Tearaway's is part 2 of The Challenge. After losing their ship at sea and not completing the cross-Pacific challenge of part 1, Dante Vidal has issued a second challenge. If the team can bike from New York to LA they will receive the second portion of the money for cancer research. They will have no money, must work to pay their way across America, roughing it along the way. Time spent with her 5 lovers all dressed in riding leathers on the back of a Harley. Open road leading to a donation for a worthy cause. Win-win as far as Olivia is concerned! The roadtrip isn't the biggest challenge Olivia will face, however. Her biggest challenge is learning how to be in a relationship with 5 guys.
This book shows a new side to the team. They still work wonderfully together at tasks, but it's more complicated when it becomes personal. Plus, they are no longer secluded. Everyday life, civilization now plays a part in their relationship dynamics. Jealousies and insecurities arise. New sides of personalities are revealed. Feelings are hurt. This book doesn't have the physical danger of book 1, although there is a bit; however, there is much more emotional angst.
Harry and Evan continue to play the Alpha's. Their growing friendship is interesting. They work well together considering their dominant ways and need to rile one another up. Could lead to a new aspect of closeness. Raul continues to be crafty. His ingenuity impresses me even if his dramatic flair and obsession with rum do not. The Scottish twins play a more separate role this time. Wonderful Lucas remains the most romantic, beautiful man and finally gets his time, but Mason doesn't. He gets cheated for time this go-around. The introduction of Paul is a twist I didn't see coming. I can't wait to see how he either fits in or disrupts the team.
I didn't enjoy this book as much as book 1. I went in expecting the same level of fun as the first Challenge. This one is equally good, it's just not as light-hearted. Olivia fails as a girlfriend and the results damage the team on an individual and group level. I ended the book upset with her. I don't ever remember being upset with the lead female in an RH like this before. I feel that she was careless, selfish, and thoughtless with her role. I need book 3 to see how she plans to fix everything. I love the team plans for the next book; hopefully this next goal brings them back together and happy once more.

With the original challenge being cut short, Dante comes up with an alternative plan. A trip from New York to LA on Harleys. Sounds fun and easy. Except they are limited in what they get to take with them: tents, a few cooking supplies, a change of clothes, a gas card and the small amount of cash they have on them at the time. They will have to earn money along the way. That's not the only challenge they face though. They aren't alone on an island anymore. They are back in the real world with real problems. Will their arrangement work with outside influences getting in the way. Will they be able to keep their jealousy in check and can Olivia manage to keep everyone happy?
I loved this book just as much as I loved the first one. The group takes off across the country on their bikes thinking nothing can tear them apart. They face a lot of obstacles along the way. The thing about a group like them, that hasn't known each other for too long, is that you don't always know someone like you think. When their personalities start coming out full force, things get a little tense. Olivia has to step up and take charge. She may not be handling everything in the best way either and finds herself in the hot seat.
There was plenty in this book to keep me on the edge of my seat. I love the interaction between Olivia and her men. Also the friendships developing between the guys. Holy cow the sexy times in this one. That one scene....
I was a total mess by the end of the book though and then there's a little surprise at the end that's got me really thinking about some things. I tried to get something from Lily about it in the next book but she's tight lipped. Good thing we don't have to wait too long!!

It seems as though the Challenge for the guys is not yet over. The only difference is that now instead of Sydney they'll have to travel to LA and instead if a boat equipped with everything they might need, the group will only have their Harley bikes and sixty dollars.
I think the second books was equally as good as the first one, but with less surprises and a little bit of drama involved.
We got to learn some new things about the characters and met a couple of new ones. The relationship within the group was developing smoothly, for the most part. They're all still adjusting, so it's no surprise some of them are having a few disagreements. Although, I think that Mason was being a dick at the end, and all because he did not get laid when he wanted to.
Paul is kind of a surprise, not sure how he's gonna fit in here. Actually, the whole future rout is a little unclear to me. It felt as though a story ended in the middle of an argument and I don't exactly know how that's gonna play out. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Storyline-wise I didn't technically like this book as much as the first. It was still great and worth 5 stars for sure. There just wasn't the same level of excitement that Castaways had, less danger appeal. Sure, there were one or two tight spots, but it wasn't the same as being stranded on an island. But it was still excellent! Plus I loved that the crew were traveling on motorcycles! How fun!
I love the character dynamics in these books. They are so believable. Any relationship can be hard, and Harlem does a great job depicting how difficult juggling multiple relationships are. Those difficulties are compounded when you include the fact they are multiple romantic relationships. The relationships in the Challenge series are realistic, they aren't perfect, they have difficulties and sometimes someone ends up hurt. That's true to life and makes the story that much more relatable.
I absolutely have enjoyed reading this book, and I'm looking forward to the next one! And the addition of a new character should be very interesting indeed.

Having just finished this amazing book I am extremely happy and in a good mood!
I really really enjoyed this, the second book in this amazing challenge series, I was not sure how she would be able to write a second story as exciting as the first but she did!!
Olivia and her boys have another challenge to do set by Harringtons father Dante, this time on Harley Davidson motorbikes. Olivia is strong, fiesty and good at engines and motorcycles, all non girly things yet she still has a gentle feminine personality and beautiful outlook and is a great heroine. The guys, whilst all different, are all sexy and capable with different personalities
It is not all plain sailing through either the challenge or relationships which along with the exciting story make it such a fabulous read and I really really need the next one! I highly recommend this series and the book, best read in order to fully understand the story

Hmmmm
I was so looking forward to this but it was much slower and less interesting than the first in the series. The first half of the book focussed on too much mundane everyday stuff. Things picked up in the last half or last third of the book but overall not the pace or character development I usually expect from Lily Harlem. I'll still try Bk 3 to see if she can make these 5 work again. They've got so much promise!

Who wouldn't love the feel of a Harley between their legs? Add on to the fact your on an adventure with your 5 lovers surrounded by all the views on the open road. I quiet enjoyed how jelly Olivia became when Harry & Evan were getting all that attention. It made the book more personal because i know I would have had an issue.
&&& um hello the end of the book? Do i feel a possible addition to the family? Don't wanna make it to crowded

Wonderful, sexy adventure!
Love this series! After the first part of The Challenge didn't work out, Dante Vidal came up with another one. And during the cross country motorcycle trip, Olivia's relationship with the the guys just keeps getting closer and stronger as they all develop intense feelings for each other. But poor Mason...my heart breaks for him! Can't wait to see what happens on the next leg of their adventure.

This book was a lot slower than the first book and the romance between Olivia and her five men seem to be dragging out a little. In the first book, it was ended with only erotic encounters with only a few of them at once. This one was ended with one man left out of the sex and it seems like that was just put in there for some tension in the relationship since no one seems to fight about sharing Olivia. There was a group sex scene in this one as opposed to the first book, but it was pretty tame

I loved this book! After the fairly gentle romantic start to The Challenge series in Castaways, this book really ramps up the heat - after all, five sexy men and one woman travelling the country in leathers with Harleys between their thighs, how could it not?
This is such a brilliant fantasy world and Olivia is one lucky leading lady.

Pretty good for RH but be forewarned it is book 2 of 5 and it’s 1 continuous story. You wouldn’t want to read less than all 5 books as it’s not a complete story. The next book literally picks up the second the last book left off, which usually feels like it’s in the middle of a scene/ chapter. 5 guys but she usually with one at a time.

Love these characters! Bought this right after reading book one, but it didn't really live up to the original. I believed most of it, but some of it just felt... thin. The drama was great, but building new drama just to get readers to keep reading feels disingenuous. Probably not going to read more until my library gets a copy (not until it leaves kindle unlimited), not as eager as I was.

Love these characters! Fun story line and great pacing to keep the reader interested in the adventure. All is not well in harem-land, and it will be interesting to see where the next story takes the team. Not as much fun and base story as book one, but entertaining.

Good read
I enjoyed the book. I look forward to the next book and reading what happens in Africa and with Mason. Paul also sounds like he might be bringing some drama.

Great!
Steamy and heartwarming all at the same time. These types of relationships can only work in stories but it leaves a lot to imagine!

Not as good as the first book - and I don't think I'll move along to book 3.
This one just felt like it was missing an actual story.

I would love to cross the country on a Harley, just not alone of course. Wilderness camping, helping people along the way while seeing the sights.

** Cliffhanger Warning!** Holy harleys! I love this book. This series is so good that I have read it a few times. This story is still a fun, fast-paced, sexy journey. While book 1 was about the crew of Temptress sailing across the Pacific ocean, this one is about riding motorcycles across North America. It's also about the relationships between all six people. It's fascinating to see Olivia and her guys working together to reach the goal. It's even better when they have a problem.
My favorite thing about this book is how many ways Olivia messes up. I like her, don't get me wrong, but having five boyfriends is going to be difficult. There are arguments, misunderstandings, and an almost-fight. I enjoy the little doses of reality mixed in with the fiction. I like that she is not perfect. I'm excited by the ups and downs in this group relationship. The relationship with Mason is especially problematic, and it adds a layer to this excellent series.
The ending of this part of the series is definitely a cliffhanger. I'm glad I found the series when it was complete!
