Unbroken Rules is book 3 in the Rules series and let me tell you, this series is a must read!

The love story of Haze and Winter has been one hell of a rollercoaster, add in gangs, fighting, shady characters, fucked up family dynamics, secrets and lies and you have one reader who is losing her god damn mind!

I literally inhaled Unbroken rules. I couldn’t adult. I took my kindle everywhere with me because just when I thought that Winter and Haze were going to get their HEA everything blew up in their faces, leaving me sobbing, pulling my hair out and begging for the author to stop being so mean to the characters.

I’ve loved Haze from the first book, even when I should’ve hated him. There was something so beautifully broken about him that made me want to scoop him up and keep him safe.

I’m so sad that it’s over but Eliah Greenwood did their story justice and couldn’t have ended the series in a better way.

No synopsis this time cause I don’t want to give anything away!! Just know that this is a MUST read!

I LOVED this book so much!!! Haze and Winter have such an epic love story and I just love how much you get to see them grow over the course of this series. This last book seriously blew me away! I loved all of the everyday sweet couple moments that were sprinkled throughout along with the bigger picture plot moments. So much happens in this book because of course Waze just has to be pushed to their limit but it was absolutely beautiful to watch them over come the odds!

Haze’s complete character arc and development from book one to where we end here in book three is just mind blowing. He grows so much as a person in this last book. I love a good redemption arc and his was straight perfection!

Winter is such a sassy bad ass and is hands down one of my favorite female characters I’ve ever read! I’ve been saying this since the first book but I’ll say it again now Winter’s humor is just the best! Also she is such a strong person! I love that she stands up for herself and what she believes in consistently!

Eliah Greenwood THANK YOU so much for sending me a copy of this masterpiece to read above is my honest review!

I have no words for this book! It's been days since I read it and I'm still trying to wrap my head around what to say! Unbroken Rules was the absolute perfect end to Haze and Winter's story! Eliah Greenwood did phenomenal things with this series! And Unbroken Rules does not disappoint.

Unwritten Rules was like a children's roller coaster, Unspoken Rules was your everyday roller coaster, and Unbroken Rules was that roller coaster ride the theme parks warn you about, but you're never really prepared for. This book had so many twist, and turns, lies, and secrets I never knew which way to look. With each book in the series Greenwood's writing has gotten better and better.

This book was bittersweet to read, I was so excited to have the next book in Waze's story but I'm so incredible sad their story is finished. I absolutely loved the world that Greenwood has created with The Rules series. Book 3 brought with it so much many laugh out loud moments, heartbreak and tears. I was literally sitting at lunch in my office crying while reading this book.

Greenwood did an amazing job at coming full circle with these two. We all know Haze's one goal was to get revenge on the man that killed his sister. Some betrayals are fixed some are made worse. Shocking truths are revealed. But at the end Haze and Winter's story is completed in the best possible way.

Unbroken Rules was the perfect and epic ending to Waze's story. Everything about this emotional ride was fantastic. I loved everything about this book and series! I never would have guessed when I accidently came across Unwritten Rules that I would love this series so much. And I don't mean just Haze and Winter, I really couldn't help but love all the guys and Kass.

All the stars for Eliah Greenwood, Unbroken Rules, and The Rules series. I will be first in line for the next book!

It just became filled with too much drama and just made me disconnect from it and not be able to keep
up with what was happening. I ended up skimming a lot of this book (as I can’t DNF books). The breaking up and then getting back together just became repetitive and made me feel that actually they were quite toxic together. The twist at the end I saw coming from the beginning of the book which I had suspicions at the end of the last one.

[Farrah Patel-hira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Roller-coaster much...
This author has me losing my mind. The intensity is off the charts. What a fucking great series. I love both characters although sometimes not as much. I love-hate the constant drama that follows them. So intense but so amazing.

[patrycja · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'll try to make this short. :) I don't want to sugarcoat things and say it's a great book like others do. I'm a full-time reader and I know if a book is good no matter my own opinion. That's why I critiqued this one a little harsher.

My overall thought about this book is: meh. This book wasn't bad, but you can't exactly expect much from an originally wattpad story... right? It's just, the trope is your typical bad boy meets a girl who changes him for no apparent reason. Which in my opinion, no matter how hard you try. It can't be that amazing of a book.

The book also contained some weird sentence constructions and grammar mistakes e.g. we're instead of were, was something I came across a couple of times. There were also some strange and hurried jumps between certain events that bugged me off. Since I've read the original version on wattpad I knew what actually had occurred but it was still troublesome.

Seeing that I love the author in general I want to give her some advice... if you for some reason read this; I know you can do better than these cliche tropes that you keep throwing into your books all the time. Don't be afraid to go outside of the box, you have great potential. I really think you can be something great one day!!

xx, Patty :)

A question that I NEED to have ANSWERED, despite everything, is: What the HELL happened with Will in the epilogue...?

[Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

This entire series has taken me on a rollercoaster of emotions. From beginning to end these books have made me laugh, cry, get angry and be happy all at once. I had become so invested in the characters lives that I honestly felt connected to them in a way. This book alone couldn’t of ended the series in a better way, I can’t ignore the bitter sweetness of the series ending though but this book wrapped it up perfectly. Each chapter left me wanting to read more and more until I had reached the end. As someone who loves YA romance and has read many books of that genre, I have to say this is by far the best book series I have read to date. It has everything a YA romance should have in it and more. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys YA romance and is look for a new book series to read. What else can I say other than Eliah Greenwood has a talent for writing and the world needs to see it.

It all started when my friend suggested me to read the book named as the bad boy's rules aka unwritten rules on Wattpad. My first thought after reading the title was it might be like all the books I have read in the past the clichéd adult fiction plot but no omgggg IT IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ period and because of Haze freaking Adam's hotness, sweetness and love I'll forever remain single because he has set the bars so high that I won't think I'll ever be able to make a boyfriend 🤷😂 and I am okay with that. Next coming to the plot, Eliah is one of the smartest person I have came across ♥️ and you'll know that yourself when you read this amazing series (you have to read all the books before reading this one). Lastly I am veryyyy grateful for my friend that she suggested me to read this amazing book♥️💯. I suggest all of the amazing people out there to definitely read this series I promise you'll will not regret it♥️♥️♥️

Good read!

This was a really good book. It was kinda long but that could be that it just seemed that way. I did read all 3 books back to back within 3 days so that could be why. Also it could be why I couldnt bring myself to post a 5 star review. Dont vet me wrong all 3 books were great but man I got really tired of the back and forths. Haze was an amazingly dysfunctional broken guy but I couldnt help but fall in love with him. I cant wait to read about Will's story next. Call me intrigued!

[Ida · Rating 3 out of 5]

Stars: 3,25 🌟

Well, I don't quite know what to say. This was certainly one of those times where I got really conflicted feelings about a book. Part of me loves it (the relationship in the series as a whole, mind you) another part of me really hates this last book. The relationship has become so much more toxic, for extreme large parts of this book, AND the characters know it, but they continue anyway... At the same time, I couldn't stop reading, and I also want them to be together (but I also didn't even manage to cheer them on in several places).... No, I don't know, I'm conflicted about my feelings.

I'm so happy that Haze and Winter got the happy ending they deserved!!!

[Amara | The Literary Indulgence · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the final book in the Rules trilogy.

After the brilliant and exciting ride it’s finally time to bid Haze & Winter goodbye!
And I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect end!

I read it in a single day. I completely devoured it without focusing on any other thing! I couldn’t keep it down.

I want to keep this review spoiler free because I want the readers to have as much fun as I had.

All the loose ends are tied up beautifully and we get all answers. After such a wild ride it was emotional to see our Jerk & Prude get their HEA. their relationship matured as did their characters.

Haze has grown up so much from the first book. That’s the best part in any book that we get a justified character development arc. And Eliah delivered it without any fail. Gosh! I’m gonna miss my favorite bad boy.

Winter is such a strong girl. She has always been one of my favorite female characters. And the sheer perfection with which Eliah has written her is commendable. And her inner monologue always makes me laugh. It makes her so relatable

Not to forget the amazing supporting characters. Each and every character gave life to this whole series. I can’t wait for Kass & Will’s book now!

Eliah I’d just like to say thank you for bringing this book into our lives! I can’t wait to read more of your works!

AHHHHHHHH THIS BOOK HAS GOT TO BE MY FAVOURITE OUT OF ALL 3 😍💕

[𝐿𝑎𝑢𝑟𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑎𓄂𓆃 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely THE best series I’ve ever read. Love, drama, story twists and amazing characters. Loved it!💜

[Sian Rice · Rating 3 out of 5]

Winter and Haze have moved to Canada and, because her mum is a raging bitch, have to find an apartment very quickly. Which they do. But they also find themselves hosting Will and Kendrick who just turned up without warning.

Everything is going unusually well for our lovebirds, except that Haze just.cannot.stop.lying. Every time he does, he knows it’s the thing that could break them for good. And yet he does it anyways.

And Winter? Well, clearly she’s perfect for Haze because she.just.cannot.stop.forgiving him. And taking him back. Oh she makes him swear to never lie again, but guess what? He does. And she forgives him again and again.

But when she finally stands up for herself, and Haze finally realised that she deserves better, will it be the end of them for good?

I think this was the best of the trilogy as I have fewer negative points. I feel bad that I focussed so much on the negatives in these reviews but they’re what held my attention unfortunately.

I adored Winter’s family (except her mum of course), but especially her stepdad, Harry. What a wonderful, caring soul he was.

The chemistry between Winter and Haze was still as palpable as ever. And although he kept fucking up over and over 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 again - and she kept allowing him to - I was still rooting for them, hard. I mean it got to a point where I was cursing that this book better have an HEA! Because it really didn’t feel like it would for a good while at the end.

Haze’s letter had me in tears. Actual tears with a genuine lump in my throat! But Winter’s reaction to it was surprising, refreshing, and heartbreaking all in one.

I’d still like to know how The Organisation found out that Winter knew. And how they would’ve known that he told her about them if he hadn’t decided to keep lying to her. I mean it just seemed like an odd request that, in reality, they should never have been able to verify.

Again, there was some questionable terminology in the book, like cigarette butt holder instead of ashtray, but they were few and far between so didn’t detract from the story too much.

I very much guessed the final shock reveal much earlier in the story but it was still an interesting connection.

Also, a really small point, but the covers don’t really match the tone of the books. The suggest light-hearted romcoms…but these books are neither of those things.

[Amelia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have just spent the last few days consumed by the relationship between Haze & winter. Throughout this series I enjoyed every second of it I loved the relationships between all the characters even the side characters especially towards the end, I would even go as far to say that it is one of my favourite trilogies that I have read this year. I loved the way that Haze & Winter’s relationship evolved from beginning to end. Even though they had a lot of upas and downs and I mean A LOT across the 3 books, even when one of them was hurting they where mostly causes of selfless acts and just being in situations that they couldn’t control due to bigger circumstances.

My favourite character has to be Haze as he had the best character development from being the Brooding asshole at the beginning of the first book where you would have assumed that he didn’t care about anyone but himself and his revenge regarding his past to the guy head over heels in love with Winter and willing to do anything for her and to protect her even if it meant that for parts they couldn’t be together. I loved the way that he managed to find out over the course of the story what he prioritised most in his future after battling with what happened in his past and seeing him struggle with it was rather heartbreaking as you could see what he wanted to do and what he felt he had to do to get revenge and move on.

Finally Winter’s character, I liked how you could feel how in love she was with Haze from nearly the beginning and how she was extremely loyal and forgiving towards him while also not taking any bullshit that Haze would feed her sometimes when he thought he was doing what he had to do and push her away which I enjoyed as she knew him inside out by book 3 and knew that she had to stick by him and eventually he will see that for them to work they had to work together on there relationship and stop deciding individually what was best.

overall I would suggest this book as there are a few twists that you wouldn’t see coming throughout the series and I thoroughly enjoyed it, worth the 4 stars as a whole!

[Rossana Pereira · Rating 4 out of 5]

I will keep the four stars because of enjoyment and because I know how this started but let me tell you…

I love this couple I really do but the back and forth it stops behind interesting after a while. We are in boom three and we are still having book one problems.

I can’t believe I’m even going to say this because I really hated the gang storyline but like this move just felt like such a cheap way out and a way to start fresh. Kendrick moving to Canada made absolutely no sense and the explanation felt sloppy. Also we had two supposedly gang leaders just up and left and there was no consequence? Like there were so many plot lines that were dropped in this book that it could have bee an almost entirely new story.

Again the plot twists.. so goddam predictable that I was begging to be surprised just once.

The fact that most of the action happens in the last 10% of the book made it feel rushed.
Also SPOILER ALERT but wtf was with that line about Will in the end? I know his book is next but from what I understand that book is also left in a cliffhanger and doesn’t seem that there is plans to release the sequel anytime soon. I hate this clickbait feeling cliffhangers writers do. When the story is good readers will want to stay in the series, if you need to resort to cheap tricks like that then maybe some revising is needed

[Jessi M · Rating 1 out of 5]

More of a rant btw

Wow was this book bad first of all her moving to Canada should’ve been book 2 in the series considering book 2 had a minor plot that didn’t even matter. One thing that constantly annoyed me through the book was Winter talking about her heart being broken once and not surviving another heartbreak. But like literally it was the fifth time he’d lie or do something stupid that separated the two. What made me also mad was the fact everyone wanted them apart until book 3 like what this should’ve happened during book 2. This series was repetitive with the arguments and I loved the part when Winter stayed away from Haze but it never truly lasted. Neither of the characters had grown or changed except maybe Haze but it was dumb considering it was something he had realized in the second book already. Again this whole dead sister plot felt like a 360 from where we started and it should have been the main plot in the second book instead of the jealous ex and rivals. I guess I was just disappointed overall especially with the cliches I could see coming a mile a way and taking so long to read about them. This whole relationship was toxic at least Haze stopped lying…thank you for learning to be a decent human ig? 10/10 would not recommend and the sex was mid too.

[Tracy Moore]

Elijah Greenwood has managed success in spades with the final book in the series. Buckle up for a crazy ride that will have you laughing, steaming out your ears, blushing, and crying in this amazing book. Her superb characters are the things crushes and dreams are made of; they are real people that you empathize with. The twists and turns and nuances are so well written you forget you are reading a book and instead feel you are living everything Haze and Winter and the crew experience. No spoilers here, if you want to know the ending of Waze you will have to read it- but trust me when I say it is so worth it. Take the journey, enjoy all the little moments that bring an end to this series in a fantastic book- finally answering the question: can the Jerk and Prude defy the odds or is it over for good. Grab the tissues, your favorite reading spot and give yourself a day or two- you won’t need more since you won’t be able to put it down- and enjoy the Waze journey!

The perfect ending to a must-read trilogy. I picked up Unwritten Rules, the first series in this book, on a whim recommendation from Amazon. To whoever places those recommendations there, THANK YOU because this was one heck of a ride. The first book had me enthralled as I just love bully romances and the push and pull dynamic between Winter and Haze was exactly what I had been looking for at the time. Fast forward to Unbroken Rules and this book took my emotions for a ride. From being ecstatic for the love between Winter and Haze to being heartbroken as we learned more about Haze's past, Haze makes some tough decisions in this book that I truly believed help him grow into an even more perfect character for Winter. Overall, this is one of my top read trilogies and I love love LOVE Winter and Haze. This is definitely a must read series and I will absolutely read any future books by this author and so should you!

[Serina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series! I have been following these books since they began on Wattpad. I started reading it forever ago and it has been completely amazing to see the story progress and develop along with its characters. Haze and Winter's relationship has been a serious up and down roller coaster and to believe that this is possibly the last that I get to read of them is both wonderful and devastating simultaneously. I'm hoping to see a few more glimpses into Haze and Winter's story throughout the story of Will and Cass, but even if there is nothing new about Winter and Haze, I know I will love Cass and Will's story as much as I loved this one! I know that you have no idea who I am Eliah, but it has been truly amazing to see the development of this story and others you have written. Thank you. I thought that this book was a great ending for my favorite series to come from the Wattpad community to date.

[Sorcia Lorde · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great Storytelling, Long Winded.

While loveable story and characters, along with great writing, this book just wouldn't end.

There is such a thing as too much. I was exhausted after days of the first three parts of this series.

There are some rare books that one may enjoy so much, it leaves you craving for more. In this case especially at the end it was like what is happening. There were strange plots that didn't make much sense. I guess this series was based on an alternative dimension.

Wynter got on my nerves in this book with her repetitive negative thinking. She was also funny at times. I didn't like neither of their reasoning skills. I could continue to pick book apart but it was so very long,, or I could just finalize my rambles by saying it was a good book, well detailed and thought out life and love story of two very likeable characters.

Overall, I would recommend!

It was unique and quite a story.

[Aadhishri · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third book I’m reading by this author. After a long wait and with lots of hope, I started reading the book. And yes, I loved the book. Being selected as an ARC member, I got this book early and I ended up reading it day and night. The speciality is the intricate and intense feeling felt by each character. You fall in love with all the characters because you can see yourself in them. They make you cry and feel whatever they feel and that’s only because of the author. The roller coaster journey of Haze and Winter gets more complex and their love is put to test. I fell in love with everyone equally. The characterisation and thoughts are so intense that you keep on laughing. It’s the best book I’ve read so far and the best trilogy series I’ve read and will always remain my number 1 favourite.

[Michelle Sanchez]

After waiting for so long, I finally got to read the ending of Waze. My heart is filled with so much tears and happiness I expressed when reading this book. Every last interaction with a character was savored! The ending killed me with joy because their ending was well deserved after everything Haze and Winter went through. I’m glad I was able to read this book and go through literally every emotion you could ever go through and somehow managed to understand. I’m so devastated that this was the ending but honestly it was the best one. Reading this series will make you feel everything but that’s literally the best type of writing. The author that focuses on getting their readers triggered in a good way and make you feel part of the family and like you are literally experiencing everything with the characters is the best type of author.

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

Was so excited to finally read the third book to see how their story ends. And it didn't disappoint at all. They are truly a great couple and meant for each other in all ways! I love Haze and his undying love for Winter! They go through so much in this last episode that I kept questioning what their ending was going to be. If you read the first two books, you have to read this one. When the guys follow her to Canada and bring their funny antics along just add to the story so much. All the characters mean so much to this love story! I love the friendship with Haze and Kendrick and how it develops even more. As messed up in his thinking as Haze is, he does some super sweet things for Winter that just had me saying "awww"..so sad that the series ended but it's so worth the time! I read it in less than 36 hours because I couldn't put it down.

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my heart.
This book was IT for me. I seriously had to wipe away tears multiple times reading this.
I have never read two people so perfectly meant for each other. The way the love between Haze and Winter is described is something for the books (pun intended).
Having read all 3 books back to back I was able to see such character development and become apart of their love story.
Its very few books that hit me the way these did but man my heart is SWOONING.
This book represents true love, finding your way back but ultimately redemption and finding peace and happiness.
I am obssessed, like tbh Im going to bing read these all over again soon.
I cant wait for Kass & Will's story. I have SOOOOOO many questions.
Eliah, I tell you often but you are truly a goddess with words and cant wait to read more of your writing.
