Faithless

They’ve messed with the wrong girl.

I gave away my heart only to have it broken.

I relinquished my soul, and it was mercilessly ripped to shreds.

All that is left is my faith that somehow I’ll be able to make things right.

I’ll fight tooth and nail to restore our love and bring us back our freedom.

I’ll make sure every secret is revealed. Every hidden lie uncovered.

I won’t allow the tyranny and manipulation over our lives to continue.

The madness ends here.

I just pray it’s not too late to save us all.

It’s the conclusion of Snow’s love story.

We made it to the conclusion of Holland, Roman, Ash and Ollie’s story! As always Ivy doesn’t disappoint..

I was so anxious reading this book. I was torn between savoring it and devouring it. I didn’t want to say goodbye to these characters, but I was also dying to know what was happening.

Roman Grayson owns a part of me 🖤
It was so hard on my heart having Snow and Rome be apart for a good chunk of this book.

So, that circles back to where a lot of my anxiety reading this book stemmed from. I love Ollie and Ash too, but something about Rome just calls to me.

All the guys bring something important to the relationship with Snow and this is hands down one of my fave RH series. Holland is also one of my favorite heroines written. She’s been dealt a shitty hand in life. I mean quite literally everything has gone wrong one way or another for her, but yet she perseveres with her head held high. She feels, but never breaks. And in this book particularly she really shows her strength.


I did predict a few things, but there were a couple curveballs thrown in and either way I’m really happy with how things ended for them.

If you like/love reverse harem and a story that keeps you on your toes then definitely pick these books up! They are so good!
I’ll miss Holland, Rome, Ash and Ollie. I’ll forever love them. I can’t wait for Elle’s book and to see more of this crew!
4.5/5 ⭐️

[❀ Crystal ✿ - PEACE ☮ LOVE ♥ BOOKS · Rating 3 out of 5]

After all the dramatics in the first two books I’ll admit I was a bit tired of it all and this book felt pretty exhausting to me. Nothing seemed to go right for anyone in the harem and it seemed to take forever (months for them) for things to finally fully resolve and for all the secrets to come to light. I finally felt like I got some of the vengeance I wanted when they took down her conniving mother. This turned into an even bigger soap opera than I expected. There were so many things that came to light all at once it was like getting continually smacked until your brain is spinning in your skull. I really never would have guessed how many people were involved and how far back all the drama went. There was some minor threads left open that I bet will be resolved in the next part of the series featuring their sister Ellie. I think this was too much drama for me and maybe I need a break from these angsty reads for awhile because it really feels like running a mile and I’m exhausted. It doesn’t help that money often turns out to be the real enemy and anyone is capable of anything to get more. I do wish for a longer epilogue with the group together more. I felt like the last book was about her bonding with Rome and this time it focused on reconnecting with the twins as Rome’s in jail the majority of the book. We don’t get much insight into them ALL being together and it’s unfortunate because I know I won’t be reading the next parts, at least not right away.

*I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.*
I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK. It was everything I wanted and more! Snow and her mens’ story gripped me from the very beginning and I am so sad to see it go. Luckily, there is a spin-off in the works which was teased a bunch in this book.

[Danique van Dijk · Rating 2 out of 5]

Okay I never do this, but I just got so annoyed. I apologize in advance for this review.

🖤 The story 🖤
After the events of the last book, the gang will have to work to bring the truth to the light, and get Roman out of prison.

I really didn't like this one as much as the others. All the annoyances I had with Holland seemed to reach their peaks, and I could not look past it. The reveals in this book, didn't surprise me at all, although some people were thrown under the bus who I didn't expect. Vivienne and Malcolm being behind the death of Craig and Eleanor wasn't surprising whatsoever, although it was surprising that they made Lawrence kill Craig. Besides that, the whole Claire reveal had me laughing out loud, because it was building and building, until I was sure that she would reveal that Holland was her real daughter, and then she just said Addison was her sister. That was so anticlimactic to me that I actually laughed. Some of the reveals were just so out of nowhere that it didn't make a lot of sense to me, like Lawrence and the fact that Claire killed Malcolm. I don't know, I just didn't really like that. The pacing was a bit off to me, the entire book focuses on the trial and stuff, and then the end is just reveal after reveal after reveal. I would've liked a bit more action and a little less whining on Snow's front in the rest of the book.


🖤 The characters 🖤
🎹Holland/Snow🎹
No surprise, I hated this chick. Everything she did in this book was stupid and whiny and I hate her so damn much. Everyone was getting on my nerves. First of all, the way they told Elle the real reason behind her fathers death, with literally the entire police searching their house???? Uhm, how about you don't confess to a murder on a freaking balcony where everyone can hear? And then she repeats it like 4 fucking times before she actually explains herself? The way things are dragged out by her for dramatic effect just annoy me so much, Holland can never just say something like 'hey, this and this happend', she instead says 'hey so yeah uh this might've happend but it also didn't because yeah so yeah so" AAAARGH!!! As you might be able to tell, I hate her fucking guts. She acted like a child throughout this entire book, the way she was jealous of the detective because Ollie was nice to her, the way she wanted her questions answered first when they were questioning Lawrence - and actually stomped her foot like a child may I add - and the way she keeps doing whatever the hell she wants, even though literally everyone tells her not to do it. I'm so done. I got so tired of her freaking out every damn second of this book, and everyone then just acting like she's the best thing to have ever walked the earth and 'yeah she totally has every right to' and shit. She doesn't. She literally knows Roman for a month or 5, and if there's anyone who has a right to freak out, it's the Grayson's. But no, they can't do that, because they have to keep Snow on a leash, since she can't listen for shit. I hate how they keep saying how strong she is and stuff, but she literally isn't; she freaks out every second of this book.

🏊🏼👓The Grayson's🦺🎾
Even the boys were too much for me in this book. The way they are referencing to Snow makes me want to puke, like "the girl who has my heart" and "it's the love of my life that answers my question". Bruh. When did their romance turn into this terribly cheesy thing? The insta love and over the top sweetness is making me want to puke.
I liked the development that Ash went through. I felt like Ollie was a bit bland in this book, he didn't really have a lot of character or something. At least Ash kept fighting everything and didn't change in that aspect. Elle is still a nice character, I might enjoy her book more than I enjoyed this one. I did tear up a little at the scene where Roman just got out of prison, the love between the siblings was so cute. It would've been better if Snow wasn't there though I still kinda liked Rome, although he turned out really sappy too and I hate that. Ugh. I did like the fact that Candy made an appearance, although it was a very short one.


🖤 Overall conclusion 🖤
I'm not sure when it happend, but I hated this book. I still liked some of the characters, but Holland is the most annoying character ever, and I'm sorry for my hate in this review. I'm just so damn annoyed with the characters and events. I loved the first book of this series, and liked the second one as well, but this just wasn't it. I'm done.

[Lilly · Rating 1 out of 5]

Snow and Roman’s chemistry and their relationship in book two was so good, but I knew that he was going to prison so she could rekindle with the twins in this book. Why did I read this book? It was so boring that I skimmed through most of the chapters.

The author keeps an excruciatingly slow pace to focus on the kinky stuff. Cringy sex stuff, culminating with the four of them together in the bedroom…

“Did our brother prepared you for us?” Umm…
Oliver has his mouth down on Snow after she just had unprotected sex with Asher, seriously?
I guess reverse harem really is not for me.

Something Roman and Asher have in common here is their inner thoughts of love for Snow having italics AND exclamation points, all over the book. Sappiness overload.

It’d make more sense if the twins had heir own story and love interests—the author would have been able to write two more books! Win-win!

Won't be reading the other books in the series, I had enough.

[Irma *Irma The Book Whisperer* · Rating 5 out of 5]

“I love you, Rome. With all my heart, I love you,” she replies, the tears she didn’t want to shed in front of me, finally begin to trickle down her cheek. “I’ll be home soon, baby. Then you can show me just how much. I promise you.”

Bloddy brilliant!

Not only this book, but this whole series. I can not express the love that I have for these characters.

I can not wait for Elle's story.

[Alley Ciz · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a satisfying (no pun intended) for Snow and our boys. Sure I spent most of the book with my heart ripped out on the floor but each twist and turn had me on the edge of my seat.

[Ashton Reid · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series is everything. SPOILER ALERT.

This series truly showed how phenomenal Ivy’s work is. She is a force to be reckoned with!

Books one and two blew my mind y’all, I sat back weeks after with these characters heavy on my heart. She took her words and transformed them into this wonderful masterpiece that shook me to my core. Holland and the boys were so REAL and imperfect. This was not just a fictional tale she wove together. This made you feel and made you think about how someone in this situation would truly handle it. How MYSELF would be able to handle it. She didn’t wrap things up in a nice and pretty bow. She allowed her characters to speak for themselves rather than guide them where she wanted them. Which to me, MAKES an author.

SPOILER AHEAD: 4.2/5 ⭐️’s

That being said, I came into book 3 with such high expectations. Her writing was phenomenal as always. The bones and the characters brought forth that amazing bulk of emotions I’ve come to expect. However, I do wish some parts of this were bulked up a little more as well as a little less Elle (even though she is AMAZING I look SO forward to her story). I wanted to have a little more POV from Rome in jail...what he felt when he found out snow was in the hospital, maybe a scene of him being beat up and abused by his cell mates and the guards standing by.... I wanted that raw and unfiltered side of him I’ve come to love. I also would have loved to see a little more on how Addison transitioned from despising Snow to giving her a kidney. We all know Reid talked to her and showed her how she would feel if something happened to Snow and she could have helped...but what did she struggle with? What did SHE feel? I would have loved a POV of her and Reid’s talk because I felt that huge moment of Snow needing a kidney then receiving it was a little glossed over. I also would have been thrilled to see inside of Vivianne’s calculating mind. I feel it could have given a little more depth there as well. However, I LOVED learning about Vee and Malcom’s history. I thought that was an awesome touch.

This all being said, this is a PERSONAL OPINION. Ivy still brought out this big guns with the deceit, LOVE, and twists & turns....she DID surprise me at the end which is hard to do for me. Ivy rocked it out of the park. She gave us a piece of her heart, and it shows! Bravo Ivy, you are amazing and I can’t wait to see how you bring Elle and the boys to life!

[Art of Reading · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can’t tell you how highly anticipated this book was for me! Diving in because hello Roman Grayson 🤤🤤
I love the fact that book 3 picks up right where book 2 left off!

Gahh Y’all I’ve never wished death on anyone before but damn can Vivienne just die already? I hate that woman with a passion 😂
I’m only at 17% and am seriously blown away with all the new info that came to light and how damn well written this is! I can’t say this enough but I’m ALL #teamdievivienne

Dear lord this may seem repetitive but holy shittttt I CANNOT stand this woman! I don’t think any character has ever gotten me so pissed I wish i could kill her myself like how vivienne has got me right now! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Wheww y’all the twists and turns, lies and deceit has me on pins and needles here!! I’m literally such an emotional wreck right! Idk what the hell Ivy is doing to my man here! 😭 he deserves to be free!!! and whyyyy is vivienne still out here roaming free ?? 😒😤

Have to admit I’ve never wanted to smash my phone so bad ever before!!! Dear lord i just wana commit MURDER right now! As if I wasn’t already in an emotional turmoil Ivy just had to go up the stakes! *bombshellalert*

Wheww my emotions are all whacked out right now! After everything they went through I absolutely loved their ending!!!!
damn this book definitely deserves more than 5 stars! This series was absolutely amazing! If you guys haven’t read it yet.. then it’s a must read! I highly recommend it!

Favorite series of 2019

In the grand finale of Snow's arc in this series, the author left no stone unturned, pulling out all the stops to give us all the feels and while I knew she would make things better, she still put me and my favorite characters on an emotional rollercoaster.

Things get tense after the cliffhanger in Soulless, but the way the author uses the unfortunate situation to develop the characters and their relationships is brilliant. While my hatred for Vivienne reaches epic proportions, I really have to admit that the author does know how to write a truly evil villain. Some of the scenes actually made me nauseous, which is not something that happens often.

But, through the darkness, we slowly see the light as the tale unfolds. My heart was racing while I read this book. The tension had me on the edge of my seat in the best way possible.
The characters and the plot develop alongside each other in an action packed plot. Plus, the more intimate scenes made my stomach do somersaults and cartwheels. So Good!

My conclusion? Overall this series gave me a literary org**m. The way this series is built is exquisite. This series was planned and with every book you read, you realize just how masterfully this was executed. Every piece of the puzzle fits and I'm not sure how anyone will ever top this for me.

I've been in this weird mood lately. I've DNF so many books in the past week it's ridiculous. So, I'm not sure if this review is an accurate portrayal of the book.

As I said above, I've been in a weird book funk. I really loved the first two books, so I'm unsure why this one didn't work for me. Ironically enough, Snow was too much of a special snowflake for me to like.

Part three of the series just felt very mediocre to me. Three stars is generally not bad, but from me, it means it wasn't good.

[Charlotte · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cant tell you how much i loved this series and how sad i am that this is the last in the series for Holland, Rome, Ollie and Ash but im so excited to see that Elle is getting her own book. That made me so flaming happy!! Back to this book what a way to end it all. All loose needs were tied up, omg plenty of secrets were uncovered (so many shocked the hell out of me) and people get what was due to them. Thank god. Absolutely amazing and i loved it so much

It ends here

Happy ending and all that. A lot of the ending was super predictable. Too bad Vivienne didn't die. Got kinda bored at the end, so I may be wrong about this but I dont think they gave a definitive answer on who poisoned Snow at the fashion show. It's sorta inferred that maybe it was Trevor or Travis or whatever Lace's brother 's name is. Anyway, I may have missed itz since whatever.

We have been sleeping on this RH series. I was so into this series. I have found a love for RH, especially when there are crazy family shit going on within it, it always makes for an intense read. This one was exactly that; intense. After the crazy cliff hanger from book two, I knew I was going to get answers, they just weren’t what I expected. I concocted an idea of the storyline for this, but I was wrong. It left me feeling satisfied and totally happy with the series. Although this novel didn’t have the heat I wanted from the relationship, I definitely still found this book fantastic. The writing, storyline, and characters were all so well suited. I cannot wait to read more of Ivy.

Without spoiling too much of the series, the characters in this one were all distinct and full of heart. Although they were knocked down again and again... they always got back up. They were all fighters in this final book. Their chemistry between their group was so interesting and different. I loved the relationship they all held, especially since it held a lot of love already from previously👀

I also loved the mystery that is currently in line with Elle. She’s going to be a storm to reckon with because she’s full of power, sass, and emotion.

I would give this novel 4-lawful-stars✨
Steam rating: 3.5🔥

[Belle · Rating 4 out of 5]

The love story in this grew even more beautifully then i expected, and i loved it. Rome, Ash and Ollie really are great characters (it was hard to pick a favorite but i think Rome won by a hair), and Holland is such a great heroine. She has true personality and i could feel her strength in the pages.

The storyline is interconnected well through the series, and we get all the answers. It’s definitely convoluted, but enjoyable. It does feel kind of long at times to finally get going. I will say though, I didn’t feel this was a bully romance at any point in the series. It was more enemies to lovers at certain points with Rome, but not even that for Ollie and Ash. And they spend such minimal time in the high school setting with everything that’s going on.

It was an enjoyable read, and I’m intrigued to read Elle’s story. Lots of breadcrumbs left for her!

3 Stars ☆☆☆

These characters are so dear to my heart. The standout of course being Roman. I loved the way everything wrapped up and im saddened to see that this isn't as popular as other romance harem series, when it's really quite good. The only reason I couldn't rate it any higher was because at least three quarters of the book was pure anguish and torture and I like my books a little more fun and sexy but other than that it was a solid series.

[TipsyMermaid GR · Rating 2 out of 5]

Wrap up of the story. Holland and the boys get their HEA.
I found this book very annoying, and I felt like this could have been a duet instead of three books. It was very dragged out.

Faithless (The Privileged of Pembroke High, #3)

Speechless! 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I love you, Rome. With all my heart, I love you,” she replies, the tears she didn’t want to shed in front of me, finally begin to trickle down her cheek. “I’ll be home soon, baby. Then you can show me just how much. I promise you.” “I’ll hold you to it,”


I don't even know where to start I knew this third and final their story
With these characters, was going to be hard to read
I enjoyed these three books Thank you, Ivy! It was WOW


The previous book ended in Rome was arrested
The main point in this book was than the trial and,
of course, the family did everything they could to help Rome
Then, of course, it was Snow health problem
Finally, the truth always comes out as painful as it may be

When it comes to characters then Rome is still my favorite boy❤️
Although it is a harem book then this Rome and Snow bond is so strong
Ash he finally got himself together and showed that he loves Snow
I really liked the scene in the book when Ash went to jail to visit Rome
and apologized for his attitude towards his brother it was heartbreaking and so sweet😢
Ollie was wonderful in this book
Snow poor girl suffering a lot but love is what makes her strong
Elle This is a cute character did everything to help Snow

Overall: A book full of adventure, drama justice shock steamy scenes, and love
I couldn't put it down I wanted to read more and more
Story told several point of views

Elle's friends also good news her book is also coming YES


Thank you!

Nothing short of amazing!! I loved this series and I'm sad its the last book about Holland, Rome, Ollie and Ash. The book starts from where Souless left off, the family torn apart because Rome is accused of his fathers murder. This book is full of emotions and my heart was put through the ringer on wondering what was going to happen. I've been rooting for Holland a/k/a Snow from the beginning because she needed something good in her life after the crap that her parents put her through. UGH! The vile Vivienne is even more horrible if that's even possible. But the way that Ivy can write such characters always amazes me because I hate Snow's mother!! When I didn't think I could fall more in love with Asher and Oliver's characters they once again tugged at my heart with how they came together for their brother and sister but also with Snow. They proved to her that they are worthy to be by her side. This book is full of twists and turns and the revelations of everything that you learn about peoples pasts I was gaping at the mouth and I couldn't put it down. Ivy Fox has done an incredible job in bringing this foursomes closure to an amazing end. This is why I am a fan for life to this amazing author. This is of my favorite RH series to date!!

[Lindsey Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a book this was! OMG Ivy nailed it out of the park with this book. I couldn't ask for a better ending to the series than what she gave us. The twists and turns and all the questions answered about this book will definitely have you at the edge of your seat wanting to get to the end to find out what happens. Snow is definitely a wonderful character with a huge heart and only wants to do the right thing trust this book she struggles with that along with other things. I'm so happy Holland in the guys finally makeup and get closer to each other well waiting to find out the outcome of Rome's trial. This is definitely one emotional rollercoaster that I would gladly get back on to be able to read this story over again. Ivy truly does Justice for each of the characters in the story and also is this a little insight on what's to come in the future. This may be the last book in the trilogy but it won't be the last we see of these characters from what I read. I can't wait to see what happens for Elli's story that is definitely going to be a crazy ride. I just have to say amazing job Ivy with everything going on you still rocked this story.

[Betteroffwithbooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book starts right where Soulless left off and much like the first two books it packs an emotional punch that knocks you off your feet.

This book starts with so much pain and heartache that it looks like there will be no end in sight. However, it morphs in to a tale of redemption, love and justice for our main characters.

True to Ivy Fox’s form you fall in love with not only the main characters but the supporting characters as well. I am beyond happy to see the ending result of the love between Holland(Snow/little liar), Rome, Asher and Ollie but will miss these characters immensely as they seem to have touched a part of my soul.

I can’t wait to see the series continue with Elle, Chad and Saint. I want to know everything about them and hope to see glimpses of Snow and her loves in the future as well.

Thank you Ivy Fox for truly captivating me and continuing to write such amazing books that keep me hooked until the very end and even after.

[Missy Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this series. I was hooked from book one to the third. I have been waiting for this book ever since Soulless. Ivy did not disappoint. So much happened in Snow and her guys journey that I am not really ready to let them go, but Ivy did an excellent job of wrapping up and closing this storyline.

In Faithless we are left with the aftermath of Soulless, where Rome is in jail for protecting Snow. He is accused of killing his father. If you read Soulless then you know what really happened. Join Snow, Rome, Ollie and Ash as they grow and become the unit that I was so very much waiting to see.

Overall this series is one of the best of 2019. I absolutely fell for Snow and the guys. Their journey was not an easy one, there were many bumps. But Snow was not about to let the loves of her life get away. What a great series by a great author.

I received Faithless by ARC for an honest review

TBH . i dont know what to say .

Thay is what Ivy fox has done to me yet again .

Going through so much emotional turmoil through out this whole series feeling gut wrenching powerful emotions is what Ms. Fox ALWAYS seems to bring to the table . With the final book you see so much growth with each character as they deal woth each of their own emotions to protect each other from the villains in this story is amazing to me ..how Ivy can turn all that into a powerful ending is beyond me an makes me love her stories that much more . I've read all her books an i honestly feel this is by far my favorite series from her . IF YOU LOVE sexy take charge men and a VERY STRONG female heroine i suggest you give this series. Try you will not be disappointed !!

This book was everything I didn’t realize I need to read. I could not put this book down, I was completely captivated. I had all the feels reading this. I cried, I yelled, I laughed and I loved it all wholly. Not too many authors can take me on a roller coaster of emotions and get that many reactions out of me!! This book starts shortly after the doozy of a cliff hanger we were left with in the previous book, and it just keeps taking off after that. It is a not stop wild and emotional ride . These are really well developed characters that have incredible depth and detail. This was a fantastic conclusion to the series. Ivy really outdid herself with the series. I am so excited to see what she treats us with next!

[M · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, I always say the last book makes or breaks it for me. This broke me...however to be QUITE honest, i wasn't truly invested in the series anyway so this really had to pull out the stops for me to put it on my read-again shelf.

For what it was, I can see why people enjoyed the series. I do give it a fair 4 stars for the entire series, even though it just wasn't something I'm into. I won't judge it simply by my bias lack of intrigue from the beginning.

I felt this book was too slow in some parts and too fast in others. I don't like when books throw everything in, in the last book with any type of backstory. It's like BAM! Everything was just crammed into this one. So definitely not my favorite.

I think people will enjoy this but just not my recommendation. 🤷‍♀️

Good series

This series overall is a 4. The 3rd installment is 3.5. The complex twist and turns were all over the place in this series. While there was plenty of foreshadowing, overall is was nicely executed. The only issue with this book was Holland/Snow emotion, while understandable, because repetitive at the beginning with the continued guilt and need to spill the "secret" she has been holding. After the first 35% though the pace picks up some and its revelation after revelation. I would have liked a bit more closure with Addison though at the end. I would very much like to read Elle's story as she was a great supporting character. Her wit and sass are fierce and hilarious and her dynamic with Chad and Saint... yeah can't wait.

Omg ivy

It has been a real pleasure to be along for the ride of Ivys' author journey. Every book gets better than the last.

This book blew me away, this series which started off as a high school bully romance grows into an intense and emotional journey of love, revenge, abuse, deceit and family. This last installment really is a master piece and pulls at the heart strings. Ivy is able to make you as a reader feel emotions alongside the characters, you want to defend them, give them a hug and do some damage to a few others. Cannot recommend this series enough and am so excited to read Elles story.

Fantastic series

I have been a huge fan of this series from the first chapter of the first book, and with each installment I fall more in love with these characters. I’ve loved watching Snow and her Greyson boys grow and develop across the series. This book picks up basically where Soulless left off, with Snow freaking out about Rome. This installment gives us all the feels we’ve come to expect of an Ivy Fox masterpiece, as well as giving us all sorts of answers to lingering questions. I throughly enjoyed this fantastic conclusion to an amazing series and highly recommend giving it a read.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book for me was the best of the 3. While I didn’t like Rome was locked away for most of it. I loved seeing all the relationships evolve and the strength of the family growing. They all fit together so well!!
I do think Snow has the strongest connection with Rome so at one point did think it would be just them in the relationship.
There was some amount of shockers and loads of dirty secrets came out in this book.
It was the perfect conclusion to the trilogy that tied everything up!
Cannot wait to find out what happens in Elle’s story.
