WOW! What a finish. I was really worried how this was going to end since even I was broken hearted for Rae after book 2. But something kept telling me to keep giving Harrison the benefit of the doubt. And Harrison made me love him again in this ending.
This trilogy is full of angst, laughter, love , friends..soo many highs and lows. Make sure you are ready.

Harrison and Rae don't get under your skin, they haunt your soul. The Enemies trilogy is a dance with the devil that pulls at the heart and burns it's way into the senses. An intriguing tango of romance and mystery that emotions can't outrun. Beautiful Ruin lives up to it's name.

***ARC Review***

This is book 3 in The Enemies Trilogy and what a beautiful conclusion to finish Rae and Harrison´s story and their emotional whirlwind journey.

Beautiful Ruin picks up 8 months after Harrison´s club is burned to the ground and Rae is still hurt by the fact that Harrison made her walk away from him. The man she gave her heart to and whose obsession with revenge is more important to him than their love. She tries to put that chapter behind her and move on by concentrating on her work, which she is rocking by making a name for herself as an upcoming female DJ. Her biggest ambition is still to DJ at the biggest club in Ibiza “La Mer” and she is playing a dangerous game goading the very same man Harrison tries to bring down. Harrison is distraught from letting Rae go but sees it for the best to keep her out of harm’s way. His need to destroy the man who ruined his life and others makes him push away the people he loves and wants to protect most.

I love Rae´s character, her spunk, confidence, not giving up and not letting men take control made me admire her. Harrison is just so alpha and the protector. He´s the big bad wolf with a big soft heart. The things he says to Rae had me pull on my heartstrings and there are some scenes in this book that are just so damn beautiful and charming. The chemistry and heat between them is red-hot sexy, and their feelings and emotions so raw. Besides their back-and-forth will they won´t they pull, there is also a thrilling side of danger and crime embedded into this storyline, which made it much more interesting. It was the perfect balance of everything, swoony love, heartfelt emotions, sexy sexy heat, captivating charm, a thrill of danger and suspense.

I really enjoyed this trilogy by Piper Lawson from start to finish. Perfect ending to a perfect story! Piper Lawson, thank you, for this ARC and for trusting me with a review. One more thing, I do hope that certain two someones will get their own book (Beck & Ash wink wink)

What phenomenal ending to her Enemies triolgy Piper Lawson has written, full of all the best parts I love most about romance.  She never fails to make my heart pound, drop, crack and then seamlessly puts all those pieces back together again. Book 3, Beautiful Ruin, featuring that hot, bossy eaturing British billionaire nightclub owner, Harrison King and leading lady, DJ Raegan Madani, aka- Little Queen who's globe trotting career is hurdling her into the stratosphere of fame on the club circuit with more fans than she ever dreamed of. Despite the circumstances that lead to their abrupt parting, their story wasn't over yet, not by a longshot.  More angsty longing, a love that wouldn't be swayed, a stubborn pair that can't quite let the other go and that villainous element trying to intervene made for an exciting, heartstopping conclusion that won't be easily forgotten.  Rae, Harrison and friends sure know how to stir up trouble in all the wrong places...what an exciting way to end their complicated love story....oh, my heart!!!!!  More to come with friends getting to tell their own tales, I hoping and praying.  I was thrilled to read and review an early copy of this book.  This is the last of a 3 book trilogy...be sure to read them all.

Harrison and Rae’s story has been a whirlwind emotional rollercoaster filled with drama, mystery and passion.
I absolutely love Rae. She is a BA. She is succeeding at what she loves to do and she will continue on that path. Despite having her heart broken by Harrison, she doesn’t let that slow her down. Harrison is heart broken by the loss of Rae, yet he doesn’t really have anyone to blame but himself for that. He wants a second chance with her and after months they are both finally in the same place again.

I love the chemistry between Rae and Harrison. There is so much tension, there is pain and there is plenty of fire burning between the two of them. There are also some sweeter moments shared between them and I love seeing a softer side to Harrison.

Beautiful Ruin is the perfect conclusion to Rae and Harrison’s story and will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

If you’re looking for an enemies to lovers romance check out this trilogy!

[Suzaan Jansen van Rensburg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thinking that their relationship could not be revived was a mistake on Rae's side because Harrison never intended to let her go for ever. He always planned to go back for her, trying to get her to love him again. But then he saw her with his younger brother and everything changed, he realized he could not put them on hold any longer because he could not bear to see her with someone else. The attraction between them is still explosive but he broke her heart so she is very wary of taking a chance again. Can he be the man she needs? This is the final book in their story and worth the wait.

I honestly could not put this down ,Why is this over?..
I LOVED every single part of this Beautiful,phenomenal conclusion to Rae and Harrison's Epic,emotional Love story.
It has been such a rough ride to get to this point for Harrison and Rae and it only gets rougher in Beautiful Ruin.
It seems that not matter how far apart these two are or how they push away from eachother,they always find their way back to one another.Fate always brings them back together.
In this third installment of this series Rae and Harrison are United once again,their Passion is even more scorching and Rae still challenges Harrison at every turn.They join forces to take down Harrrison's Rival who is causing havoc and fear amongst the club scene...and he is becoming more dangerous.He is still intent on taking everything away from Harrison,his sole mission since they were kids..but now he has upped the stakes because now he wants Rae.!!
This story had me spinning in circles I rattled with tension and reeled with emotions as the story was unfolding.There are some very touching moments that had tears pricking in my eyes and my heart squeezing and fluttering with emotions...and then I was on the edge of my seat in suspense of what was going to happen as peril was like a shadow following them around preventing them from being happy.
I Love this group of friends,these characters feel like family and being in this world makes me so comfortable and content.
Piper Lawson has written a story that was so much more better than I could have imagined...her writing seems to get better and more captivating with every single book she writes,and I am always left begging for more.
Beautiful Ruin is the perfect ending to a perfect series with characters that I have so much Love and affection for....and I hate that its over...
An Excellent book that I highly recommend.(this is not a standalone and books 1 and 2 should be read first)

Harrison lost Rae once before, but now has a second chance to win her back again. But with his need for revenge so strong? Will he allow it to blind him yet again? Losing Rae again in the process. Or will love conquer all?

4/4.5 ⭐️

With Beautiful Sins ending on seeing the fateful fire that burned down Harrison’s club Kings. And Harrison breaking Rae’s heart leading her to walk away.
Beautiful Ruin begins with 8 months having past showing Rae continuing with focusing on making a name for herself with her career. Resulting to ultimate success. However her biggest dream of playing La Mer has yet to be fulfilled. Leading her to travel to Ibiza in order to fulfil that dream. Though when she bumps into Harrison, she can’t stop all those feelings from rushing back. But what can she do? Knowing that he already broke her heart before and with her still wanting to play at his enemies club she knows nothing good can come out of them trying again.
Harrison regrets letting Rae walk away. Though with everything he had going on, it was in her best interest. However when he sees her in Ibiza, he wants her back. But with his need for revenge stronger now than ever can he have both? Without something going wrong? Especially if it means stopping Rae from fulfilling her dream.

Seeing Harrison unravel even more so before our eyes, given all the nitty gritty details to his past that continue to come out. His story was truly a whirlwind of a sandstorm. Considering how much and long Harrison had been blinded by his need for revenge. It isn’t until the storm hits that he starts to see the bigger picture. With the storm wearing him down, stripping away, bit by bit does it begin to occur to him what he could be losing if his allows his consumption for vengeance blind him and take over completely. Which is why he had me frustrated. Never seeing past his hatred and wanting vengeance to realise where he was truly needed. And to finally open his eyes in seeing there was more to life than retribution.
But despite all that, it didn’t stop me from sympathising. The fact that he continued to shoulder the burden of others, with taking on responsibilities that wasn’t his for doing. It proved behind the big, strong, imposing exterior he was soft at heart, with so many feelings on the inside that he hid well.

As for Rae, she truly continued to astound me with her strong, fierce, badass self. Continuing on with life despite having her heart broken, proving that she isn’t going to let it stop her from doing what she wants and being who she wants to be. I had to give her props, the fact that despite her career she still found time to be there for others and help in anyway she could. Especially when it came to Ash. At the same time through her perspective, we are able to see more of her softer side, with the declarations of her feelings that she pours throughout.

Harrison and Rae’s journey was a whirlwind of a rollercoaster ride, that was an action packed thriller filled to the brim with drama, angst, mystery and suspense. Leaving you reeling with all the nitty, gritty, gooey gooey, raw emotions and feelings considering the overall adventure that is their lives.
With their chemistry connection, though it may have been subtle in the beginning, with Harrison and Rae having been broken up. It was still alive and growing through every encounter, touch and moment. You could see it progress throughout the story, crackling like lighting, only to spread off the pages leaving you with goosebumps and tingling shivers down your spine. Resulting in Rae and Harrison’s explosive moments of HOT and HEAVY, SPICY and SEXY STEAM that was highly TANTALISING! But also SWEET and ROMANTIC too, when they poured their raw emotions and feelings into their acts of lustful desires together.

Congratulations to Piper on a job well done. She did it yet again! Delivering the perfect ending to Beautiful Ruin, while simultaneously closing the chapter on Rae and Harrison with the two extra epilogues.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking The Enemies Trilogy, especially if you have read the previous books in the series. Or are a fan of Piper Lawson and her books in general.

[Peggy M · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntarily, honest review of it.

‘Beautiful ruin’ is the third and last book in the ‘The enemies trilogy’. You really need to read the two previous books before reading this one. After enjoying the first two stories, I was very curious to read this one, especially after that cliffhanger in book two.

In the end of the second book, Harrison send Reagan away. During the many months that they were separated, both followed their own path and dreams. For Harrison, he put all his energy into growing his business and Reagan travelled the world as a DJ, getting popular with each show. But a series of events bring them back together again. And even after all that time apart their love for each other is still there but then Harrison’s revenge is also still present. It’s even grown and become bigger and more dangerous than before. And that is the start of a new battle for Harrison because he can’t let go of his revenge but he can’t let go of Reagan for the second time. And Reagan has her own thoughts of their relationship and Harrison’s revenge. Soon they aren’t only fighting for their relationship but also so stay safe because their enemy is becoming more dangerous and obsessed. Can Harrison keep Reagan safe and convince her that she means everything to him? And will Reagan give him another chance after the way that Harrison broke her heart?

‘Beautiful ruin’ is a good story and I’m sure that many readers will enjoy it. The main female character Reagan has really grown into a stronger person. She’s a great character. Harrison is also a good character but for me, personally in this story, he lost himself a bit too much in his revenge. But in the end, he did redeem himself and I liked the ending very much. In this story we also get to see a lot of familiar faces again, I always enjoy that.

(Like I said before, the story is good, it’s just that my own personal expectations were a bit different for this story. That can happen sometimes. That has nothing to do with the story but more with the reader’s view of it.

It took me some time to get into the story, I think after the way that Harrison and Reagan separated at the end of book two and the fact that they were separated for 8 months, I expected a bit more of their first meeting? I can understand why the writer did it the way she did (I just would have loved some grovelling from Harrison). Their love for each other was never in doubt, it’s always in the background during their story but at certain times, Harrison’s revenge against his enemy was much bigger than his feelings for Reagan and his family. He got lost in his desire to protect the people that he loved. Even to the point that he would lose them in his quest for revenge. It was only in the end that Harrison’s passion, love and devotion for Reagan became stronger. I think I would have liked it a bit more during the story, but that’s just my personal opinion. Like it said before, the story was well writing and I really liked the end.

In this story Reagan’s big dream of becoming one of the chosen DJ’s who gets to play in a famous dance club came true but after waiting for it so long, I had hoped for a bigger scene when she’s performing there. Especially since there was another scene in this story where Reagan is performing in another dance club and that scene was so hot and sexy!!! It’s one of my favourite scenes in this story!)

[AJ · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars

The third and final book in the Beautiful trilogy, this is the final part of Harrison and Reagan’s story – a sexy and swoony second-chance-romance that is full of intensity.

This book is set eight months after the ending of Beautiful Sins. Harrison and Reagan have been apart that whole time, since Harrison’s dream blew up in his face and he chose vengeance over love. In that time, Reagan has found the success she’s always dreamed of, and when she is given the opportunity to play her dream club, she returns once again to Ibiza. Though he’s been preoccupied with his business, Harrison has kept a close eye on Reagan, and when he learns that she’s on his island - and has been seen with his brother - he drops everything to go to her, determined to win her back.

We never should have been, and that only makes me cling more determinedly to what we were. What we are.

One of my favourite things about a second-chance-romance is watching a smitten hero fighting hard to get his girl. Harrison has a lot to make up for, he knows he did wrong, and he wastes no time in finding Reagan, telling her what he wants, and grovelling like a champ to prove he’s a changed man. It’s a fantastic switch from his arrogance in the first book, as we get to see his vulnerable side, and I loved seeing him as the heartbroken but determined man bringing the swoon (and his mad sex appeal) and pouring his heart out to the girl he loves.

“Love me again.” He leans his forehead against mine … “Until you do, I’ll love enough for both of us.”

Reagan is understandably wary, but she can’t deny her feelings, and the chemistry is sizzling as these two find their way back to each other.

“I love you. I loved you first. And no matter what happens, dammit, I’ll love you later.”

But Harrison hasn’t forgotten about his mission of revenge, and Reagan soon finds herself caught up in the battle between Harrison and his enemy. It’s exciting with a touch of suspense, but mostly it shows the strength of Reagan and Harrison as a newly-reunited couple, which was great to see.

I enjoyed this book. I’m a sucker for a second-chance-romance, I liked seeing how much both Harrison and Reagan have grown, and they truly seemed to be in the right place to finally get their HEA, and I loved seeing that happen for them. The characters from earlier books all appear, and I especially loved seeing so much of Harrison’s brother, Ash - I suspect he’ll be getting his own book/series at some point, and that’s sure to be a good one!

This was a really strong finish for the series.

3.5 stars.

[Mabel · Rating 3 out of 5]

So, for the most part I greatly enjoyed this. It is not a genre I generally favor, but the writing and characters kept my attention. All in all I would definitely read more of this author in the future.

But goddamn did this drag on for too long while hitting one of my most disliked tropes: third-act-breakup. I would care less about that (and the breakup at the end of book 1) if it didn’t feel so pointless. These characters fight, break up, but the moment they cross eyes again immediately continue fucking, making an already tiresome trope feel even cheaper. This kind of drama for the sake of drama nonsense belongs in books starring far younger characters than these.

(Which reminds me I’m still pissed at the end of book 1. She left him because of an article about them online, and chose to flounce away rather than talk about it like the adult she is supposed to be? What a child).

I also have to say book 3 feels contradictory to book 1. The whole series starts with her demonizing Harrison because someone got hurt in one of his clubs. Her morals won’t allow her to willfully play in such a monster’s club, but she is legally forced to. Yet in book 3 she is independently rich and free of any obligations, yet her desire to play at Misha’s club trumps the fact he’s a certified murderous, tainted-drug-pushing domestic abuser who actively tried to kill her before.

I am also deeply fucking unimpressed by her purposefully calling him out for pushing lethal drugs during the last bit of the book, when she knows she’s locked in a room with him with no way out. Sorry, where was that attitude when she was pushing and pushing to play at his club? Why does sass trump basic fucking survival instinct? Reagan’s character is simply all over the place in this book.

I truly feel this series could have been one book shorter (heaven knows the conflict at the end of book 1 is nothing short of stupid). Book 3 definitely pushed my tolerance, and part of the reason I continued at it was the fact it had brilliant narrators in the audiobook. Without them, I’m sure I would have abandoned the series much earlier.

But still, I promise I mostly liked it. Harrison in particular had some brilliant lines that got through even my jaded heart, so I’m certain I’ll always have him and his grumpiness floating somewhere in my mind. But goddamn do I wish this series reveled a bit less on needless dramatics and flaky morals.

[FS Meurinne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the conclusion to The Enemies Trilogy, Harrison and Reagan's story, the story continues with some time apart, the emotional ride was there, the pacing was good, I got the audiobook performed by Samantha Brentmoor and Shane East, they did a great duo and portrayed their characters on point. I truly enjoyed the story, I really wanted to see how both characters would turn around and fit back again. I recommend this story if you like billionaire, DJ's, second chance and some angst and emotional side. The audiobooks are definitely worth.

Beautiful Ruin concludes Rae and Harrison's story. Even though I was a bit sad to say goodbye to one of my favorite fictional couples, I needed to know how the events was going to play out. The last few pages of the last book "Beautiful Sins" completely surprised me! Rae may have finally reached her goal, yet she feels like she hasn't truly accomplished her dreams. When Harrison and Rae parted ways, he thought that he was doing the right thing in letting her go.  In the beginning of this series it was Rae who left Harrison; she was afraid to trust him. Just as she let her guard down and admitted her feelings, Harrison decided to end their relationship. And this deeply hurt Rae, so she threw herself into her music DJing around the world. In a twist of fate or more like a plot twist brought Rae and Harrison to cross paths again. Harrison may have hurt Rae, but he definitely taught her a lot. She's more confident, stronger and resilient, and she easily doesn't back down.

Harrison was struggling in dealing with a shocking revaluation, it caused a mental whiplash for him and started to question everything he knew. Harrison is aware that he hurt Rae and he will do anything to win her back; to earn her trust and heart again. Because Harrison's priorities slowly shifted, her realized that he couldn't live without Rae. I loved how Rae helped Harrison find his way back, realizing what is truly important to him, the people he cares about. The ups and downs of their relationship was definitely a journey! I loved seeing how they navigated their relationship through turbulent times. As I read each book in this series, Harrison and Rae's character growth was outstanding! The ending though! I absolutely loved it! Overall, it's a great trilogy, I highly recommend it!

Is there any way for Harrison to repair the trust he lost with Rae? After losing his new club, something he built for himself, revenge is all he can see so he walks away from Rae. Rae never knew she could love someone so completely, but Harrison gave it up. As she works to establish herself as one of the top DJ’s, the lure of La Mer remains even though it’s owned by Mischa, Harrison’s enemy. For Harrison, his love for Rae didn’t stop but he remains clouded by hate and revenge until he sees a picture of Rae with is brother. Suddenly, he has to be where she is which brings him back to Ibiza. Now that they are back in each other’s orbit, will they find a way to mend what was a broken? Or will Harrison’s drive to bring Mischa down get in the way again? Such an amazing journey for this couple. Both struggle with letting love in so finding it with each other is surprising. They are both strong-willed, confident and passionate. For Harrison, realizing that love is more important than everything else could be his greatest risk and reward. Will he take that chance? Dive in to find out! I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

The fact that I was able to finish this book in just one sitting, shows how into the story I was and how much I loved it. There is intensity, romance, villains, amazing cast of characters and an epic story that will leave you happy and satisfied with the ending.

Piper Lawson has become one of my favourite authors. This is my first trilogy from her and every book in this series has been soo good. With each subsequent book the series got better. It gets your heart pounding with a super swoon worthy romance between an angry britisher Harrison king and little queen, DJ, Raegan. Both the characters and their relationship evolves beautifully as the story progresses. The character developement is on point, as well as the plot.

Harrison and Raegan are both strong headed and stubborn characters, who follow their hearts, and can't let go of each other. But both are adorable in their own right.

The writing is commendable in the book. It gets you all the required feels and immerses you into the story pretty easily.

An amazing ending to the trilogy, beautiful ruin has all the angsty romance, intensity and feels that one could ask for. I loved it through and through.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a cracking ending to this awesome series! Rae and Harrison were the perfect opposites attract couple. Their journey was full of drama from the very beginning, and it was same right to very end.

When Harrison walked out on Rae, she was left devastated, but her want to be a top female DJ, pushes her into her future. Wanting to DJ at Ibiza’s too club LaMer, brings its own dangers. Playing with the man who Harrison despises and tries to destroy, is the only thing in her radar, but when Harrison resurfaces, their chemistry is still red hot, like melt your kindle hot! Harrison will do anything to keep Rae safe, but her attitude and go getter ethic means she takes things into her own hands.

So as Rae moves to her forever DJ’ing to thousands and deals with the devil, Harrison pulls no punches to the man he truly despises…. He stops at nothing to bring down the man who destroyed his family he won’t take Rae too. Misha will stop at nothing, but neither does Harrison!

This story will keep you glued, waiting for the what’s next… trust me you’ll want to read this, and if you haven’t already check out the whole series. This is a series of the year for me!!!

**Audio Review**
Beautiful Ruin by Piper Lawson is a thrilling and spicy continuation of Rae and Harrison’s powerful love story! In this book, the steamy tension gets even hotter and more intense as all the secrets from the past unfold! Plus, Rae and Harrison have this fated magnetic chemistry that refuses to keep them apart. When they finally conquer their enemies and discover a way to find true happiness, my heart absolutely swooned and soared!

Samantha Brentmoor and Shane East once again narrate this audiobook. Throughout the entire series, these two truly embodied Rae and Harrison in their performances making me feel all the things! Samantha beautifully conveyed Rae's confidence, passion, and courage to trust in herself and finally make all her goals a reality. It was so empowering! I loved how Shane portrayed Harrison's dedication, support, and love for Rae, especially during that nail-biting, dramatic ending! Plus, the way both Samantha and Shane showcased their undeniable attraction was HOT!

Overall, I loved this audiobook! Prep your heart for this epic, emotional ride that will have you on the edge of your seat, fanning yourself, and falling hard for Rae and Harrison's beautiful HEA! Harrison and Rae's love story is definitely a new favorite from Piper Lawson, (that epilogue made me melt!) and I always look forward to more!

What a great conclusion to an amazing trilogy! In the final installment, Harrison and Rae are dealing with the consequences of Harrison's decisions as it appears that he chose revenge over his love for Rae. Consequently, Rae is moving on with her life and career and is preparing for the audition of a lifetime. Harrison is focused on revenge and protecting those he loves. There are a lot of twists and turns as the suspenseful plot comes to its resolution. You can really feel the love these two have for each other. They've both grown so much over the course of the series and I just love their love story. Harrison is an alpha protector in the best way, yet he allows Rae room to grow and be her own woman. Rae can be quite reckless but her love for Harrison always shines through. The chemistry is off the charts with these two! Finally, we get out happily ever after and a satisfying conclusion!

A fantastic finale for such a whirlwind of a series!

My favourite part was that I had no clue how this was going to end, but I was incredibly desperate to find out. From the romance to the drama, I was sucked in!

It's been a while since I've read about a couple with such palpable chemistry. Rae and Harrison are magnetic anytime they share a scene together. From their banter to their genuine love, it was so easy to adore their romance.

It's amazing to see how far these characters have come. Their journey wasn't always easy, both as a couple and as individuals, but it definitely was rewarding for a reader.

I know there are a few characters I would like to see get there own series in the future! I'm not ready to leave this world Piper Lawson has created just yet!

[Jennifer Pierson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful Ruin is the conclusion to Harrison & Rae's story, and I feel like I've been waiting as long as Rae to find out how it will all pan out. There's no way that you can read any of the trilogy out of order so don't even try it folks, just read them in order because the breadcrumbs being dropped all come together. This story picks back up many months later after Harrison let Rae go again, and while he's dead set on his revenge, she's rising in ranks when it comes to her career. She's finally going to play in what she sees as her ultimate goal which is why she's back in Ibiza, and now that Harrison has seen her, he knows that he can't stay away from her any longer. It doesn't change the fact that the revenge is still in play (the full force of his past is finally revealed), however he's determined to not lose his Rae again but will she give him another shot?! And will she understand the need for revenge?! You know what to do to find out, and trust me you want to find out! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Beautiful Ruin is the final book in the Enemies trilogy and Harrison and Rae's story continues with non stop drama, passion and suspense and I was hooked until the end. The tension between these two was again evident and their explosive chemistry was seen throughout the story. They were two characters who belonged together but their road to a HEA was not smooth sailing. No matter how much they push away from each other, they always find their way back together and in this book they work together to take down an enemy rival. I loved seeing how much these two grew in this book. Beautiful Ruin was steamy and heartfelt with that underlying hint of danger. I loved the cast of secondary characters especially Ash and I really hope we get his story soon. This was a great ending to the trilogy and I would recommend it to lovers of second chance romance.

I’ve been impatiently waiting for this final instalment to the Enemies trilogy, and let me tell you. It was well worth the wait. While Harrison has been questioning his decision to leave behind his life, loves and family. Rae, after having been let down, is thriving. Her shows are going from strength to strength. When Harrison sees an online photo of Rae all it takes is a little macho pride, a bit of alpha possessiveness and Harrison is back to trying to win her over. Only she’s not as gullible this time round. Lots of back and forth with their would be relationship. Can Harrison forego revenge for love? Can Rae forgive and forget? Their love for each other is not in question, only their ability to trust in each other. So many emotions, so much drama and action. I was on tenterhooks, I was addicted, I didn’t want it to end, but I needed answers. What a wonderful trilogy. I can’t wait to see what’s next from Piper.

Okay here's the lowdown! This book is the conclusion you've patiently waited for!

Rae is still the cool chick we've come to love. Her focus on what she wants in life is the definition of determination.

With Harrison, you can't help but smile when he speaks of Rae. He's still the same Harrison we've come to enjoy. Powerful, sexy and he still means business. But his self confidence in his love for Rae will have your heart skip a beat 💓

“Because I love you. I loved you first. And no matter what happens, dammit, I’ll love you last.”

I mean....COME ON!!! 😍😍😍

This was a fantastic conclusion to the series! Harrison and Rae are perfect for each other and I hope to see them pop up in the Piperverse again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the third and final book in Rae & Harrison’s story. Reading the first two books is a must to understand the characters and all the events that have shaped them and their relationship to this point (and because they’re darn good books.) Every relationship has its ups and downs and after the first two books took us through some of those, the third book has these two reuniting after months apart. Both are strong characters who don’t cave, but do find that compromise is important in love. This book will take you through all kinds of emotion, heart stopping moments, great friendships, important secondary characters and when you come to the end, you will wish the story was longer. Fantastic read from a great author!

I was anxiously awaiting this conclusion and it did not disappoint in any way. So much that I could hardly put it down and read it within 24 hrs, well including sleep!!

Harrison and Rae's story was full of highs and lows and we were left on a low from the 2nd book in the series so I was kinda ready for this one. This finale was everything and then some for these 2 and I have loved their journey as it was a chaotic one at best.

Piper has a knack for pulling you into the lives of her characters and you just want to be one of the friends. Beauty tamed the Beast as we all know that story and I think it was also the other way around with Harrison and Rae. They both worked toward the end goal they never thought they would have in this lifetime.

Ok I am just rattling on about this book and I hope you enjoy this trilogy as much as I did.

So I read this the day it came out because Piper Lawson is an auto-buy for me. It's the last of the Enemies Trilogy and picks up after a short time gap from the previous one. The characters are still awesome, the conflicts are still exciting, and I always fangirl all over Piper Lawson's writing style.

There's a lot of good about it, but the organized crime just didn't quite click for me. It's set up in the first two books, but it seemed like a weird departure from the Piper Lawson world that we usually get. I wish the antagonist through the series had been different and it had all fit together better.

But if you've read the first two, you've got to finish it. :P

This is the third and final book in The Enemies Trilogy and the conclusion of Harrison and Reagan’s romance. This story began in BEAUTIFUL ENEMY and continues in BEAUTIFUL SINS, the previous book in the series. Wow, what can I say but this has been an amazing series. A great read that is definitely a page turner. Overflowing with drama and chemistry. An emotional roller coaster for sure that will capture your heart and soul. A beginning ending after the heartbreak in the previous book where Harrison took revenge over his love for Rae. A great ending. I read an advance copy via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.
