Everything is falling apart.
Rome is in jail for murdering our father.
Holland is in the hospital fighting for her life.
And I haven’t spoken to my best friend in God knows how long.
Oh, but it gets worse.
I’ve fallen in love with my nemesis, too.
It might not seem like a big deal to most, but it sure is to me.
Especially since my heart still longs for the green-eyed boy, I vowed to love for eternity.
But I’m not the only one suffering.
Saint is too.
I feel his misery in every kiss he gives me, in every caress and embrace.
We’re not whole.
Not as long as we don’t have him.
If I want to heal all three broken hearts, there is only one way to go about it.
And that is to be fearless enough to fight for our happy ending.
They’re both mine, and I won’t let either of them go without a fight.

Reading Fearless made me feel everything Elle, Chad and Saint went through together in this book. It felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster with them but it's one I'd happily stay on because I genuinely loved these 3 characters. Yes you could argue that Chad brought what happened on himself but for I me I think he was trying to not upset anyone but he ending up doing just that. Regardless of his best intentions. I wasn't prepared for the amount of crying I did reading this book. My only relief being the other stories going on around this one. I just loved this duet so much

Fearless is the second book in this duet that features Elle, Chad and my man Saint. It is the fifth book in The Privileged of Pembroke High Series, If you haven't read the whole series I think that would be fine but you must read Ruthless before this one. I do recommend reading the whole series though.
I seriously could not wait to read the conclusion to this duet and Ivy did not disappoint. We see Elle, Saint and Chad all fight for what they want and they all had such character growth during this story. I was hooked from the moment I started reading and couldn't wait to get my hands on the next chapters as they were being written.
This was a beautifully written story about 3 people who are broken, hurt and confused and they do not feel whole unless they are all together. This story will give you all the emotions angst, hurt and love with maybe a side of tears thrown in. Ivy smashed this duet out of the ball park and now I cannot wait to read the next book in the series which will be Maya's story

umm WOW i love elle, chad, and saint so, so much, they may be one of my favorite throuples ever. fearless is book two in their duet that's part of the privileged of pembroke high series! there are some spoilers of the first trilogy but it was a lot of fun to read elle's story with her boys.
·
this duet is friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, bully romance, and sort of friends to enemies to lovers all in one??? so i came to expect LOTS of angst, especially after the first book, but nothing could have prepared me for the emotional turmoil ivy puts us through. these three had to go through a LOT before they got the ending they deserved but it's so worth it.
·
elle is a feisty little thing and once she knows what she wants, she'll stop at nothing to get it. i didn't really know what to think about saint at the beginning of the duet but i actually love him a lot and the fact that he never, ever lies to elle no matter how much it could hurt her. chad... chad had a lot to work through on his own and i truly was rooting for him...quietly LOL. but i really do love all three of them together bc they all compliment each other so well.
·
all in all, this duet was pretty great and if this sounds like something you might be interested in, here's your little nudge towards it!! don't forget the trigger warnings and i hope you enjoy it!!

Ivy is a Queen when it comes to writing her story's and having us falling in love with all the characters. Ellie, Chad and Saint was no different!! Their ending was more then I could ask for and now I'm sad to see them go!!! But that only means Ivy will have more stories for us to fall in love with and I honestly cant wait. Every single time I read a story by this author I know I'm in for a crazy awesome ride this one here was all feels and it was worth it all in the end.

Staying up late to read Fearless was sooooo worth it!! The angst, the emotion, the steamy love triangle...this book has all the feels.
Fearless is exactly what a love triangle/ménage should tackle when it comes to the deep soulful emotions, twisted up feelings, and gut wrenching angst. So often a throuple jumps into a relationship and it's happy from the get go. I understand throwing out reality and it's a fiction world, but there is no relationship, no matter the amount of people that are in it that is super easy, so I love that Ivy tackled the heart of every relationship, especially one that involves multiple personalities.
Elle, Chad, and Saint all revolve around each other and have for years. Elle and Chad have been friends since kindergarten, while Chad and Saint developed a relationship later on. While it was originally Chad that was the glue between the three of them, not only being attracted to both, but also forcing the three of them to hang out, things changed and evolved, like teenage hormones do. Elle and Saint couldn't stand one another sensing the other as competition for Chad's affection, but as we come into Fearless that all comes to a head as they make Chad decide, choose one of them because they no longer want to share. When Chad can't and won't, Saint and Elle turn towards each other both in heartbreak and comfort and their once rivalry turns into something a lot more like love, but did they really make the right choice in cutting out part of their threesome?
It's crazy how close hate and love walk that fine line, but Saint and Elle find out just how much they have in common while Chad slowly falls apart. Even while this couple grows together, which I LOVED how much Saint grew as a character, having a part of their original throuple gone gnaws at both of them and neither of them know how to get back what they had before everything fell apart.
Chad delves into some deep, dark places inside himself. He's never been without Elle as his best friend. The growth he goes through, learning who Chad is without his sidekick, without someone to take care of, even without Saint to feel like he needs to correct all the time. Chad pulls out the version of himself that actually was buried deep and it's one that the three of them needed more than they ever realized.
Elle goes through more ups and downs than anyone in this book, however, she's probably the strongest person out of them to handle it and survive it, but she loves that she has support to lean on when the going gets tough. No matter what age she is, one of her guys was by her side to hold her hand or hold her tight, right when she needed it, but Elle was always strong enough to set things right and that is why this ménage works so well.
Lastly, Saint. Although, I would never put Saint last. He was pretty much everything in this book. His character growth was through the roof. He was sweet when needed, yet domineering when he had to be. He was caring and thoughtful, but his outside shell still screamed thug to those who didn't know him. He was becoming the glue, that connecting middle piece, and Saint was everything Elle and Chad needed to complete their lives.
The intimate moments are crazy hot, no matter who is involved, but while they are also steamy, they also crack open emotional moments too. Nothing happens without purpose.
Since the Pembroke world is all interconnected the Grayson brothers are also dealing with their own chaos during this book, but Elle's story is written in a way that it's a complete standalone from her brothers. I will also say the same thing about Maya's story. Everyone connects at some point in time, but don't worry if you aren't caught up yet, it will all make sense when you eventually read those books.

When I started Fearless, I expected some major drama and angst and knew this book would be seriously emotional. I was in no way prepared for the powerfully raw, gut-wrenching, absolute heart shattering experience of Elle, Saint and Chad’s story.
Ivy took my heart and shattered it into a million pieces before putting it back together again. Her brilliant writing and storytelling evoked such strong emotions, it was as if I was experiencing every moment right alongside the characters.
Fearless took a couple of turns I wasn’t expecting which made the reading experience even more intriguing. These characters do get their their happy ending but it’s a bumpy road and they fight tooth and nail to get there.
I connected so deeply with Elle, Saint and Chad and was truly invested in their story. These are characters that will remain with me long after today, and that is the power of a remarkable book. Absolutely amazing duet and addition to the Pembroke series! I’m now counting down the days until we get Maya and Reid’s story!
If you haven’t yet started this duet and love a good angsty read with incredible character connection, start Ruthless right away! It’s part of the Pembroke High series although the duet can be read as a standalone. There is MM, MF, and MFM scenes and a hard won HEA.

Pass the tissues
I don't think I've cried so much reading a book before, it really has all the feels!
I think this is Ivy's first venture into mmf, and damn girl, she does it so well. Saint and Elle both know that they are not complete without Chad, while he is still finds it hard to reconcile his feelings of resentment and love for Saint.
This is so well written that you feel each and every emotion from the trio. And there is such a beautiful ending, you will be crying with happiness. Loved this book so much.

So I have loved this series since I first read Holland and the boys story. Elle's duet did not disappoint. She, Chad, and Saint's love story was filled with curveballs and was a battle that was hard won. They all three loved each other so much, but were so stubborn. They were also afraid to admit it to each other because they were fearful of getting hurt and losing each other. I enjoyed the twists that this story had, and seeing some of Holland's story through Elle's eyes. This was a great ending to Elle's duet.
August 28, 2021
I am a huge fan of Ivy's and have been for awhile. So really I am not surprised that she once again comes threw with another great read.
Ivy is also good about ripping you to shreds emotionally, but do not worry she always puts you back together again.
The characters are so interesting that you just cannot look away. Elle, Saint and Chad I just fell in love with more. I love a good story where the characters fight to stay together.
I would definitely recommend this book, and series!!!

These three have my whole heart, and more than once I found myself in tears. After everything these three have been through, it’s heartbreaking to watch them, like magnets as they push and pull at the bonds that tie them together. Their need is such a visceral thing. They can’t stand to be apart, but when they’re together, they can’t help but cause one another pain. Something has to give, but what will be the cost? There’s so much angst, yet so much love. In the end, the sweetness and beauty of their HEA makes all the heartache worth the cost it took for them to get that point.
August 26, 2021
*le sigh* Thissssss. This was just the perfect ending for Princess, Boy Scout, and their Saint. I’m so in love with them all. This is Ivy’s first step into MM and can I just say, Well Fucking Done! *bites lip* So hot. We’ve got just the right amount of angst balanced with the perfect amount of steamy sexiness. I adored every minute of it! Can’t wait to see Maya and Reid’s full story. 💜
August 26, 2021
This was an amazing read that hooked me from the very first page. It moves along at a great pace, has amazing characters that you will love and want to know more about and a story that will not disappoint you. This book is a must read, there is no doubt about it.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
Whoever said when life hands you lemons to make lemonade can suck it. Everything is falling apart. Rome is in jail for murdering our fathers Holland is in the hospital fighting for her life. And I haven't spoken to my best friend in God knows how long. Oh, but it gets worse. I've fallen in love with my nemesis too. It might not seem like a big deal to most, but it sure is to me. Especially since my heart still longs for the green-eyed boy I vowed to for eternity. But I'm not the only one suffering. Saint is too. I feel his misery in every kiss he gives me, in every caress and embrace. We're not whole. Not as long as we don't have him. If I want to heal all three broken hearts, there is only one way to go about it. And that is to be fearless enough to fight for our happy ending. They're both mine, and I won't let either of them go without a fight.
This is the conclusion of Ellie Grayson's love triangle. This is also a duet inside a series, The Privileged of Pembroke High Series. You have to read Ruthless first or your going to be lost too. This book was so great and I was thrilled to be back with Ellie, Chad and Saint. Fearless also takes off right were Ruthless left off so you just go right in and the book takes off in a flash. This is the fight for the relationship all three of them want These three are very broken hurt and confused character's but together they are whole and everything just makes sense. I don't really want to give any of the story away so I won't tell you anymore about the story and ruin something from anyone. I will tell you that I loved this duet. I loved the character's so very much. I loved that these three needed each other so much and I loved that it was a story about a three people who can not really feel whole unless they are all three together. You guys are going to love this due and I highly recommend it for everyone who likes stories like this.

The Final Three
It feels like it took “forever” for Elle, Chad and Saint to finally commit to each other. Saint and Chad really steal the show in this book and there is a lot of angst and primal lust delivered. I felt a bit lost in chapter 23, as we skimmed over Snow’s operation and Addison giving her kidney and Rome being released from prison etc etc. Yes it all in the previous books, but I was confused that I missed a chapter or something. Unfortunately this book felt rushed and only the relationship between Chad and Saint flourished.

Fearless just might be one of the most emotional and heartrending reads I've read this year. The tragic love triangle between Chad, Saint and Elle pulls fiercely at the heart strings, Elle and Saint are so broken as it is only to be further devastated and torn apart by Chad, the one place for them that was safe and they felt whole.
Saint is nothing like he is depicted, ruthless bad boy from the East River projects, with a dad in prison for gang related crimes and yet Saint is nothing like him. Independent, cocky, arrogant as he is, it's more of a front to hide the heart of gold that he has deep inside that is as soft as a marshmallow, willing to help those in need. His protective and vulnerable side is revealed more in this book and it just made me fall in love with him more and hate Chad that much more.
Chad is not the person I thought he was. In Holland's books we saw the side that he portrays, the shining white knight and devoted best friend but in Fearless we see his other side. As his glass house crumbles and shatters around him he struggles to cope with the pain, the agonising suffering of losing the one his heart belongs too. Honestly, he shows the reader that not all those who love us are good for us. In order for him to make amends he must first reach rock bottom and boy does he hit the bottom hard!
Loved seeing more of Maya and finding out a bit more about her and her life and the author dropped a bomb on us towards the end. I really hope Maya gets her happily ever after in the next book. Other wise characters I loved seeing was Holland her boys especially seeing how Rome would take his baby sister shacking up with two boys, one of which from the outside the epitome of everything he wouldn't want for his baby sister. Will Roman Grayson be able to loosen the reigns? Will Reid finally man up where Maya is concerned?
Overall, I found Fearless to be an emotional and heartbreaking read and though I can confidently give it 4.5 stars I do have to say that I wish the book hadn't dragged out their happily ever after. As I got closer to the end we were left with very little time with Chad, Saint and Elle as a couple, and the ending felt just slightly rushed. Nevertheless, what there was I absolutely loved it and I am absolutely dying to start Maya's story after that bombshell that was dropped towards the end!
Saint is nothing like he is depicted, ruthless bad boy from the East River projects, with a dad in prison for gang related crimes and yet Saint is nothing like him. Independent, cocky, arrogant as he is, it's more of a front to hide the heart of gold that he has deep inside that is as soft as a marshmallow, willing to help those in need. His protective and vulnerable side is revealed more in this book and it just made me fall in love with him more and hate Chad that much more.
Chad is not the person I thought he was. In Holland's books we saw the side that he portrays, the shining white knight and devoted best friend but in Fearless we see his other side. As his glass house crumbles and shatters around him he struggles to cope with the pain, the agonising suffering of losing the one his heart belongs too. Honestly, he shows the reader that not all those who love us are good for us. In order for him to make amends he must first reach rock bottom and boy does he hit the bottom hard!
Loved seeing more of Maya and finding out a bit more about her and her life and the author dropped a bomb on us towards the end. I really hope Maya gets her happily ever after in the next book. Other wise characters I loved seeing was Holland her boys especially seeing how Rome would take his baby sister shacking up with two boys, one of which from the outside the epitome of everything he wouldn't want for his baby sister. Will Roman Grayson be able to loosen the reigns? Will Reid finally man up where Maya is concerned?

This!!!! >>>>>
“Don’t you get it? They were the only things I ever cared about. They made my life whole, and now all that’s left is this fucking shell. I can’t go on. I can’t. It fucking hurts so much, Dad.” My knees give in, and I fall again to the tile floor. “It hurts. I don’t have the strength to go on like this. I don’t have it in me.” 😭😭😭
My heart hurt so many times in this book!! Gahhhh💔
This is part two of their story and it’s so freaking good!!! Elle Grayson has known and been in love with Chad Murphy since she was little. They are best friends that have never crossed that line. Saint came into Chads life as a young boy when his Aunt, who’s works for Chads family, brings him to the house to talk with Chad’s Mom who is a therapist. Elle immediately dislikes Saint because he’s taking Chad away from her. And then they become hormonal teenagers and it only gets worse.
The love triangle between Elle, Chad and Saint is pure heartache initially. Each of them going through their own pain, each of them trying to accept their feelings and understand them, my heart was completely clenching within the first few pages! It’s so full of anger, heartache, lust and love, it’s just beautiful.
You need to have read the previous Privileged series books to understand some of what’s going on. This story timeline overlaps previous books.

A moment in time changed all their lives.
Will anything between the trio ever be the same again?
This is the fifth book in the privileged of Pembroke high series, but also the second half of Elle's duet, following on from "Ruthless".
Their love is complicated, their emotions wild, whilst the passion they share builds.
Love, lust, hate and anger swirl around the pages of this book like leaves in the wind. Never settling, forever falling.
I loved that their love was unconventional, that they didn't follow the herd and be like everyone else. Their unique reletionship kept me glued to this.
Saint and Boy Scout are amazing characters. The angst, and desperation to be loved and with those they love is heartbreaking to witness.
Princess aka Elle is fierce and loyal but cross her and you will regret it! she's a powerhouse of a character!
Put all three of them together and you get a book thats virtually impossible to put down!
Ivy Fox has more than done them justice with this story.

I knew this book was going to be a happily ever after but the emotions and heartache I went through while waiting for it to happen was a lot. The author told the story perfectly.
While I know a lot of events happened during the original trilogy some did happen after and I appreciate the updates of a few questions I had had. Although at some points I didn’t even care about a few updates from the trilogy, I just wanted to know more about what was happening in this relationship. I was way too invested for just a book. I knew it was going to be a happily ever after but I was still wishing things would be easier and they would smarten up to be happier faster.
I think I loved this duet more than the original trilogy and I am so happy that the author is doing one more book to carry on the story. I really like that she hinted a bit for the next book but didn’t make it a huge plot point of this book. Just enough to keep us curious and want to know what’s going on. Counting down for its release.

cackling at the sudden serial-killer-trevor showdown right at the end of the novel. i’m so sorry. I think i was supposed to cheer or something, or gasp in horror.
already made my feelings on eleanor being the centre of the triangle instead of chad clear in my previous review. basically: do not want. especially because after she made it all about her, chad and santi couldn’t even touch without beating each other up physically and emotionally first. and chad and santi were in LOVE even before eleanor was like “me me me”
her forcing them to confess couldn’t possibly have made things ok all of a sudden. just shut down your brain before you read this, and enjoy the repetitive sex scenes
i think maybe i might have to make a career out of convincing indie/self-pub authors to hire copy editors who aren’t their fans or friends and who actually are good at their job. even a bad book is drastically improved when there aren’t any spag errors in it
rich american high schoolers… forget ten-foot poles, i wouldn’t get near them even with ten-mile poles

This duet had pulled at my heart strings. Ivy did such a great job wrapping up Elle, Saint, and Chad’s story. It was exactly what these three needed. Ivy crafted these three to fight, bicker, get on each other nerves so much but it made it all the better when they were all in sync as one: watching this friendship blossom with so much love was incredible. Each character was tarnished and jaded but when they came together it was the three perfect pieces missing in this incredible story.
Elle has had it tough. This book, even tougher. With a brother in prison, being on the outs with a best friend, exploring a new relationship, and so much trauma in her home life it’s no wonder she has such a guard up. Page by page we watch as the walls come down, she gets braver, stronger, and learns to expand her love for more than just her brothers. I am so sad to see this story end but it was perfect.

I have been waiting for the conclusion to this duet and it did not disappoint. This duet was super emotional for me. I remember wanting to read about these characters and their story when I read the first three books of this series.
This book really got to me. I felt as though my heart was being ripped out of my chest and I wasn't sure the ending was going to justify everything this author puts us through. I was wrong. It's rough road to the end of this story but it's completely worth it to reach the ending.
Elle, Saint and chad really spoke to me and their story was powerful. This is a great angsty read and the characters are developed emotionally. There is a connection between them that you can feel jump from the page.
This is a duet set in the same world as the first three books. You don't have to read them in order to enjoy this story, although they do help set the scene some. This book does contain some MM scenes.

Ivy is known for writing books that bring out all sorts of emotions throughout the story. This book is no different and definitely did not disappoint. It starts off with a bang ripping your heart from your chest within the first 3 chapters. Don’t let this deter you. If you have read Holland’s story (the first 3 books) you know that Ivy will do these characters justice and will most certainly give them their happy ending. It will just take some heartache and soul searching to get there. Ivy is notorious for putting her characters through the ringer but also doing it in a way that each character grows and becomes even more likable throughout the story. This book did not disappoint and it wrapped up the epic love story of Elle, Saint and Chad so beautifully. These characters were fractured and broken on their own but came to fit together perfectly. What an amazing end to this story.

As soon as I reached the end of Ruthless I started counting down the days until I could have this installment in my life! I picked this one up as soon as I could and got right back into the The Privileged of Pembroke High world! I enjoyed Fearless!
After the last book I wasn't quite sure what all was going to happen next in this story with these characters. I got so into their journey! I really liked the way it kept me on my toes! Once again I felt so many things throughout reading with these characters and I so enjoyed that!
With Fearless, Ms.Fox has created such a good read that'll be sure to grab your attention! I am so looking forward to the next book, Restless! I am most definitely going to go back and read the first three books as well!
*I volunteered to read and review a copy of this book from Wildfire Marketing Solutions / the author*

This is the 5th book in this amazing series and the concluding part of a duet about Elle, Chad, and Saint. These three are broken souls who complete each other, and as their relationship evolves their characters grow from strength to strength. Elle is feisty and knows what she wants’ and she will do anything to get it. Saint speaks his mind and does not sugar coat the truth, he tells as it is. Chad has a lot to work through by himself, while Saint and Elle stood by allowed him the freedom to do so. This is a beautifully written emotional roller coaster, which is filled with turmoil, angst, drama, and is a bully / enemies / lovers and a friend / lover’s scenario. This talented author has done an outstanding job in weaving this duet, and I look forward to reading more from her, and I highly recommend her work. Be aware there may be triggers for some readers due to the sensitive content!

Amazing whirlwind of emotions
This is the first book I have read of Ivy Fox’s, I didn’t realise at first that this was from a series.
It was incredible! I know I’ve missed some of the back story from previous books as I think this is the fifth book in the series but it didn’t take away from the story for me. I was still able to completely follow it.
The whole story was a complete whirlwind of emotions with friendships at breaking point. Elle has so much going on in her personal life and she is amazingly strong dealing with everything thrown at her. The relationship she has with Saint and Chad was everything to read about. The ups and downs they suffered was so emotional but beautiful non the less.
Loved it and totally heading to Amazon to start the series from the beginning.

nada que sair daqui vai ser coerente !
sabe, o outro livro foi muito bom, muito lindo ver a relação deles se desenvolvendo e se entrelaçando, a agonia de saber que ia dar tudo errado e os três sairiam de coração partido. muito bom.
ESSE LIVRO, no entanto, me irritou tanto !!!!!! a minha maior critica é o fato da relação do saint e da elle ter se desenvolvido muito e do chad com os outros ter ficado pra escanteio. no outro livro eu conseguia ver um trisal, mas nesse era só saint e elle falando como eles se completavam, como o chad era uma babaca e que eles mereciam mais, no final eu nem queria mais trisal, queria os dois juntos (já que se mereciam e se entendiam tanto 🙄) e o chad sozinho !!!! tudo se resolveu muito fácil e rápido, odiei a conclusão do relacionamento chad&saint, aquela cena foi rídicula .. UMA GRANDE DECEPÇÃO ..
estou com raiva.
