Reverse Harem Story #3
Undeniable
When Maven Stone called my name, everything changed. I never expected to fall in love with him or with his frat brothers Chance and Banyan. I never imagined how that perfect, single, unconventional choice could change our lives.
Then Molly tried to burn me down and my parents took me away from school, from New York, from my guys. But no matter what happened in New York or halfway around the world, nothing could change our undeniable truth—I love them and they love me.
I’m Giovanna Amsel, and no one has to understand how we fit together. No one except us. This is our love story.

As I said before this was a good and cute series I mean I don't have any complaints at all... well, wait that's not true at all. So I'm not sure who was responsible for editing or proofreading this last book but gosh did they do an awful job.
Anywho, I did love the characters and the storyline... this series had all the right ingredients to be just perfect. I will say, Rebecca, you supplied just the right amounts of angst, love, passion, humor, heroic, wickedness and sexy. So I applaud you on a job well done. I just wish we could have gotten more of an epilogue but thanks anyway for the HEA!

Undeniable is undeniably the perfect ending to this trio!
This story has had its way with my emotions from the beginning. It hooked me in and I gladly went along for the ride.
Giovanna has what it takes to keep them all together. And the best part is, these three guys, Maven, Chance and Banyan are willing to do what ever is necessary to Giovanna safe and in their lives. A most unconventional relationship, but it works for them.
The love perpetuated within this group is the Forever kind, no matter what the world throws at them.
Great characters, wonder storyline.

Great story
Rebecca Royce is a fantastic story teller with deep characters and engrossing worlds. My favorite complaint for her is that she always leaves me wanting more! I want the details on the weddings, the other kids and a 5 years later picture of this group! Maybe....😊

Meh. Didn't feel it

The third book in this series ended up being my favorite of the three - the sweet romance between Giovanna and her three boyfriends really shines in this one. We also get more background on the heroes and the final resolution of everyone's family drama - which shaped them into who they were and why they connected to each other so strongly. The boys' wealth provides the different "fairytale" items/trips that I love to read about in books, but it was also made clear that though the money is nice to have, it is not as important as the things that truly matter. Enjoyed the insight of being an author that Giovanna's writing a book gives, as well as the way she supports each hero through the individual issues they were facing. There were sexy times in this book, but as I said earlier, the romance really stole the show, and I was super pleased for these guys to get their HEA.
3.5 Stars on GR scale

Short but nice wrap up
This is the final book in this series about Giovanna, Banyan, Maven, and Chase. I do love reverse harem because who wouldn't want more sexy guys? The relationship among the four is sweet and cute, but I would have liked a little bit of arguing ot drama. I know the guys were already fraternity brothers and are very close, but there has to be a little bit of jealousy with only one girl to share. There was plenty of drama for Giovanna, with her arsonist stalker on the loose still. And everyone in this book has shitty parents.
Not a bad book and series overall. They're not too complicated but I'm here for the romance anyway.

Fantastic ending
I have loved this quad from book 1. This was the perfect ending to this love story. We saw the ending of the stalking and saw all 4 MCs grow into wonderful humans as they embraced their love for each other. This allowed them to fave their own demons on their own and together. I could not have imagined this book written any other way.

Fabulous end to the series. No cliff hanger no second guessing. Brilliant conclusion, Giovanna and the boys work out their relationships and personal issues at the same time. Perfect ending to a captivating series

I liked these 4 together and liked how it ended. That doesn't happen often with a series. Nicely done 😏

Awesome end to series
I loved this final book to the series as well as the whole series. This story is about a young woman finding love and friendship in the most unlikely way, with three hot males.
Thus book is best read after you’ve read the first two.
Well written and very entertaining to read.

Four people forge a loving family despite all the obstacles in their path and some seriously bad role models. I absolutely loved it...
There are certainly a lot of 'Undeniable' things, top of the list being love, in the aptly named finale to Rebecca Royce's Reverse Harem Romantic Trilogy, and I warn you now, if you haven't read the first two books, you really need to.
The stories continues as both of the previous books began, with Giovanna in labour in her bedroom, but this time, she's not alone. Surrounded by paramedics and her three lovers, in agony but still reminiscing about the events of five years ago that brought her to this point in her life. Her memories pick up again pretty much where they left off at the end of the last book but a few weeks after she arrives in India. Despite having been dragged her away from her life in the US by her disgruntled father, her parents are still virtually oblivious to her existence and my first impressions of them haven't changed from book one. They're self-centred, self-absorbed a******s who couldn't care less about their only child and forget she even exists pretty much all the time. To all intents and purposes, she's alone in a foreign country, missing Chase, Banyan and Maven, seriously ill and desperate for help. In fact all the parents displayed a total lack of care for their children and a distinct tendency towards being 'users' in various guises, the only exception was Banyan's father.
I'm not going to give any spoilers about the story, which was exceptionally good, despite being written in the first person almost entirely from Vonni's point of view, and had my emotions bouncing all over the place, from sorrow and sympathy to outright anger and outrage with stops at oooh, awww, happy, joyful and downright celebratory. They also had stops at fear, if not out and out terror which had me on the edge of my seat, chewing my finger nails down to the elbows and rooting for our heroine when arsonist Molly made a reappearance, as well as a brief stop at cold fury directed entirely at Giovanna's mother and a desire to give her a good slap followed by washing her mouth out with soap for being such an evil b***h. I loved Giovanna and her guys as well as their happily ever after although I could have wished for something between the point in time where the reminiscing came to an end and the birth of a baby girl five years later. As the only apparently caring parent, Banyan's father was a bit of a sweetie and I would have loved to know what happened next with him and the rest of Banyan's blood family, excluding his user of a mother of course.
I absolutely loved this trilogy and was hooked from start to finish. This book rounded off the story nicely and in some ways I was sad to see it finish but there are definitely gaps in the timeline at the end that I would have liked to see filled. I love Rebecca Royce's books, regardless of genre, and having been reading them for years, I feel this one is certainly up there with the very best of her contemporary stories. I'd love to read more like this in the future, although I'll read this one again quite soon I think, now I have all the parts. I've given 'Undeniable' 5 well earned stars and a place on my list of books to rescue if the house was burning down. This terrific trilogy is also now a permanent resident on my 'read again' list and I have no hesitation in recommending it..

I think of all 3 this was my least favourite. I mean I enjoyed reading it and I gulped it in one sitting. But I sort of wanted more of their life after, instead of just all the Molly drama, and the parents drama. But I will miss them. A lot. I was glad to have embarqued on this journey. I will have to give Rebecca Royce a look for her other contemporary stories!

Giovanna Amsel. Maven Stone. Chance Montgomery. Banyan Iburgess. An unconventional love story, one not everyone will understand or accept and that's fine. Other's opinions don't matter when you have found love so beautiful, so right; love that makes you a better, stronger person; love that completes your world in ways you could never have imagined.
Giovanna is halfway around the world from her guys, being ignored by her parents, miserable, and hurting. When an unexpected emergency reunites the four, it's clear that they are finished playing by the rules of their parents. They know what they have together and they are determined that they will live by their own rules for their own happiness. Their happily ever after is in sight but with these four, it's never simple. There are still pasts to be dealt with before the future is assured. Abusive parents, a firebug roommate, personal baggage. It's emotional, poignant, precious. I can't do justice to the feelings that this book evoked from me. I loved these characters from the moment Maven first yelled Library. I immediately loved Giovanna for the bruised soul that she was. It soon became clear that the boys were bruised as well, they just hid their scars better most of the time. Together they started healing. I fell in love with all four of these characters even more in this book. They created a beautiful family together. Each character found themselves because the love of the others allowed them to. Together they are stronger, better, happier.
This is the ultimate love story. It's everything I want from the final book in a series; all storyline issues are resolved and the future is set up for a forever-together happiness. The overall sweetness of the relationships, the love shared, the words expressed, especially by Banyan left me delighted. I have a book afterglow. I couldn't ask for more, HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that I haven't already. A follow-up novella, please. I'm not ready to say goodbye yet.

I needed something contemporary with a break from fantasy, and this series was perfect! It was just sweet, throughout the whole trilogy. I liked the author's writing style enough that I read all three books in less than 2 days.
My only very minor issue with the ending of the trilogy is:
Other than that I appreciated the sweetness and the arsonist background plot and the family issues that drew the characters together. I will definitely read more by this author.

Some issues
Frankly, I wish I could say the series had a strong ending, but it didn't. I loved the first 2 books and read them lickety-split. This one was harder to delve into.
In addition, where the other 2 were spectacularly edited, this one not so much. In fact, ironically, the character Giovanna, muses, as a new writer, that she never wants to allow readers to read anything less than perfect from her; and yet, Rebecca fell down on this standard herself. There were a few punctuation errors, but many gramma/syntax errors that DID affect the story enjoyment.
The plotting didn't have the same smooth, effortless flow as the other 2 books. It was forced. It wasn't original. The antagonist's actions were reused ideas from another famous story. It was all just rather predictable.
I hate writing a bad review for a good author.

I absolutely love this trilogy and the ending is everything I could have hoped for! It definitely did justice for the entire story and each person’s individual story as well. I like all the guys for Vonni, but I have to say I like Banyan the most and I really liked how he developed throughout the trilogy and especially in Undeniable. I can’t recommend the series enough and I don’t want to spoil any of the story for you guys.

What an amazing finale
I binged the entire series in 2 days which is a testament to how much I loved it. I fell in love with Giovanna, Maven, Chance and Banyan. I live for their devotion towards each other. Their story managed to touch me in so many ways. There may or may not have been tears involved. Their story is wonderfully concluded in Undeniable!

Loved this series! This book was all I hoped for and more. Action, romance, humor and so much more. It was a satisfying conclusion to the series. Of course if there is ever a short story or another book about the characters, I would read it in a heart beat.

Yes! Nicely all wrapped up for the perfect ending. I’ll miss these characters. I’ve become very attached. Well done, Ms. Royce. Thank you.

Trigger Warnings: abuse not in detail but eluding to at least molestation by an uncle (side character), pyromaniac (side character), PTSD, child abuse (all of the main characters were abused as children in some way), underage drinking, dying parent, parent coming out of prison, near death medical experience, kidnapping, beating the crap out of someone, cutting ties with abusive parents
So...this was...a book.
Do not believe the tags that say this is erotica. Erotica is more sex than story, with usually very graphic details. This has a few sex scenes; they are not graphic, and there's only one scene where they all take part (not just taking turns on her).
Dealing with parents as an adult is all the drama in all three books. It finally ends in this one where a parent dies (off page), another parent is told off, another pair is told off, and another set just doesn't care. There wasn't really any point in this book. It feels like the "drama" of telling off parents could have been done in just one, if not two, books. The whole part with Molly being insane was a really flimsy excuse for drama and didn't match the personality that had been provided in book one. But, whatever. Not once did the guys fight over the main female character. Not once was there a misunderstanding or a breakup. The guys hurt each other's feelings once or twice, but that was it. Those conflicts were very quickly overcome. The whole story was just too easy and clean. It made it hard to get into it or wish they would win or overcome their obstacles.
I still couldn't tell you the difference between the guys because she says "that's just the way___ is," all the time. If there was more "glided my hand through his dark hair" or "stared at the blue of his eyes," or something then I could have imagined a face to all that "personality." The only one who ever got talked about was the main female character and her red and yellow hair, it's mentioned at least ten times.
I will say that this one surprised me, though, because the main female character finally found her ovaries and stood up to quite a few people in this book. She still does a HUGE amount of self-doubting and hating, but at least she stuck up for her guys and herself.
It's not bad if you like your romances to be vanilla. No drama, no excitement, no high stakes, no death, not graphic, and easy to read and follow.

2,5 rounded up
Okay, I thought I’d be able to write one review for the whole series, but I’m gonna have to go back and review the first two separately. That’s because, for me, the series got gradually worse, although I quite enjoyed it all the way to the end.
My problem with the last book was basically that the characters didn’t seem to believe what they felt or said. You know how sometimes people say something they don’t truly believe in and then keep repeating it until they do? That’s what it felt like to me.
Ok so they’re relationship is unconventional as it was already determined in the first one, but it worked for them. I was okay with it, I believed them. I believed in what they had built for themselves. But as soon as the four of them started to repeat it again and again, I started doubting they believed it. I don’t know if that was a conscious choice by the author to make sure the readers understood how okay the characters were with their arrangement, but to me it kind of undid what she had done in the first books.
Oh and yeah, their relationship was on the verge of toxic. I understand the circumstances called for a bit of overprotection, but it felt overdone. Again, the fact that the characters were constantly saying that they knew how they felt might be wrong but they felt it anyway didn’t help.
But, I have to say... I still enjoyed the series in general. I think the third one was a bit off, but a good ending nevertheless. And I really liked it because it’s hard to find an RH story that is not purely just a bunch of sex scenes put together. In these books we actually had a story, a plot and the development of their romantic relationship, which I’m always for.
Okay, I thought I’d be able to write one review for the whole series, but I’m gonna have to go back and review the first two separately. That’s because, for me, the series got gradually worse, although I quite enjoyed it all the way to the end.
My problem with the last book was basically that the characters didn’t seem to believe what they felt or said. You know how sometimes people say something they don’t truly believe in and then keep repeating it until they do? That’s what it felt like to me.
Ok so they’re relationship is unconventional as it was already determined in the first one, but it worked for them. I was okay with it, I believed them. I believed in what they had built for themselves. But as soon as the four of them started to repeat it again and again, I started doubting they believed it.

A solid contemporary rh
This is a decent contemporary RH, and from what I can recall of the first two books, my favorite in the series. There is something keeping me from giving it five stars, something I can't put my finger on, but something just didn't click to where I'm obsessed. I think the whole going off to India with her parents thing really bothered me and didn't make much sense. I get it was a catalyst to a couple of things so Royce needed Vonnie to be in India and unhappy, but I think she needed to get there some other way and then have that unfold. I also kind of felt like I was really just getting into the characters and now this story is wrapped with a ton of stuff happening in a very, very short time span. I mean to have to deal with Molly and all of their parental relationships coming to a head at once, it would have been nice to have that spread over two or more books and more than just the last couple of weeks in August. I also felt like the whole climax with Molly and how it came about was both predictable and over way too fast and too easy. I truly expected the janitor to be her grandfather and the fight to go on longer. I also would think the guys would have a driver under the circumstances for the security of not having random strangers pick you up. It was reasonably enjoyable read though and is check out something else by Royce as it comes along, hopefully more RH.

See my full review here! (https://juliaswoons.com/2018/10/24/un...)
Do I sob because it’s over or be happy because it happened? No no, I’m not a high school girl and I haven’t broken up with the love of my life. I’m a woman in her mid twenties who has just finished an amazing series. Undeniable was so so amazing, I just can’t believe I don’t get to keep reading. Ugh! All good things must come to an end I suppose.
We start back up with Giovanna and her guys, Maven, Chance and Banyan. Super hunks obvi. The police still haven’t found Giovanna’s former bestie and arsonist, Molly, so expectedly Giovanna is freaked. Luckily, she is safe away from Molly in India with her parents after they yanked her out of school. Wait, scratch that. Unluckily. Very unluckily. As you may remember Giovanna’s parents suck, like really suck. They are completely hands off and really see her more as an inconvenience vs a loving daughter. She is honestly just ready to get back to her men, let’s be honest we are ready for her to get back to her men too. Things were really starting to get super swoony. Unluckily, or maybe luckily, Giovanna’s appendix bursts and she is sent to the hospital. Doesn’t sound lucky right? Well since she doesn’t answer her guy’s texts they obvi with their richness and connections fly out to India ASAP to save her from her wretched parents and take her home with them. #swoonfest

Undeniable: A Reverse Harem Love Story (Reverse Harem Story Book 3) Kindle Edition
by Rebecca Royce
The author gave me an eARC at no charge. I am opting to write a fair and honest review.
A heart-wrenchin and beautiful end to the epic love story between Giovanni and her three remarkable men – Maven, Chance and Banyan.
As much a tender coming of age story, where all the heroes and the heroine learn to walk their own pat and set their own reviews
I adored the story, from the initial novel and moving through. Every tender moment made my heart flutter and every tight moment, moment of danger made me want to rip through to the next page. I cried with the character at every tearful moments.
For readers of RH and for just regular romance readers, I can't express how wonderful this three novel story this was. Read this, even if you have never read RH. This is to RH what The Hunger Games was to YA Dystopia. A place to start or just the perfect version!
If I could, I would award way more stars, but since I can't.
5 stars out of 5
The Book Nerd was crushed that we will no longer be visiting these characters again

Gave Me Feels
This review is for the entire series.
I honestly had trouble getting into this series. The writing, as usual from this author, was stellar but I was in the mood for a bit more action. I am glad that I didn't put it down for later though because the series was good and I loved the message. I get so frustrated with contemporary RH because the decision to be in a poly relationship is just too quick and easy to feel realistic or satisfying. It was easy in this book but because part of the message of the story was how these broken people with horrible families were able to complete and understand each other, it didn't lack in realism for me and was very satisfying. The author did a wonderful job of having the characters acknowledge that the relationship wasn't normal but it was right for them and made sure this message was reinforced throughout the series.. There was a bit of a suspense subplot but it paled in comparison to the romance. Since it was there, I would have liked a bit more information regarding motivation other than mental illness but it didn't ruin the story. Overall, I enjoyed this series and would recommend it to others. As a matter of fact, I would recommend this author because she is awesome.

This is my review for all three books 📚:
I have to say this reverse harmen was something that hit home.
I can totally understand with the heroine Giovanna Amsel, she is a college student who didn’t have many friends just one good friend. She is ignored by her parents; her parents are off doing them exploring the world. They never really had time for her and forgot her. She deals with having a learning disability, she’s dyslexic. I can totally relate cause I have it too and it is frustrating, she comes to meet Maven, Chance and Banyan on the street near there frat house. Overtime she gets to know each man and their difficult up bringing, they may have money but their parents didn’t give them the love they needed. They became the family they needed, they know they have feelings for her. They know this isn’t a normal relationship but they want her, they all do.
Read more about Giovanna and her man and all the difficulties they face and all the bad stuff that happens and all the good things. Definitely a must read. It’ll make you smile at times, make you mad at times and the sexy scenes are just hot af! 🌶️
Overall story: 4.5 out of 5 ⭐️
Romance: 4 out of 5 ⭐️
Spice: 4 out of 5 🌶️
