I needed to get away. My ex was getting married. So, I left. The English countryside was a picture-perfect escape. The dashing stranger an even better one. And what started as a chance encounter quickly became more. He promised to show me how to live, how to feel alive and forget a past best forgotten. He made me believe things could be different. That was until I found out who he was . . . He was Oliver Blackthorn. The 16th Earl of Lockhart. Thirty-third in line to the throne. And a liar.
Book Two: Entice
Eight years ago, I gave Grayson Price a piece of my heart. To him, I was the strange girl whose mom had just abandoned her. To me, he was a savior, an anchor, someone who stood beside me on that beach. The next time I saw him, I was twenty, and he was thirty-six. He didn't remember me. And when he flirted...I didn't tell him. By the time he found out, it was too late. We tried to deny our desire, but our attraction was too enticing. Eight years ago, I gave Grayson Price a piece of my heart. Too bad he’s my dad’s best friend.
Book Three: Conceal
I ran. Escaped the man who wanted to hurt me. I got in my car and drove. No destination. No direction. No help. I hid in the one place I would never be found. Now in New York with no job, I didn't know what to do. Then I met him. Jaxson Price. The enigmatic devil who wasn't only above the law, but played it like a puppet. He might be the answer to all my problems. Too bad he's asking for something in return for his help.... My heart.

This was actually 3 books in one and I’m a little miffed that it doesn’t count at 3 books. It was 3 dang it!
Book 1 is Deceit and it was probably my favorite of the series. It seemed the most natural and realistic. Impromptu meeting at a pub, one is trying to save face from an ex getting married, the other is just trying to please their parent, whirlwind romance, hidden secret… Sexual tension in this was HOT! The end felt a little Hallmark movie-ish with the Duchess going to Addison on Olly’s behalf, revealing the secret she’s kept for so long… 4/5 stars
Book 2 is Entice and it was the definite guilty, dirty pleasure that you don’t want anyone to know about. Late thirty something year old Grayson’s hard ass persona that is completely turned on by his former bff’s twenty something hot daughter… sounds like something you’d find online on certain types of sites, right. You’re not wrong. Definitely the SPICIEST sex scenes… we’re talking pretty close up there with Chapter 55 of another book (IFYKYK). I did love that Grayson and River both saved each other in different ways. Honestly, I can’t blame her for having such a crush on the man since she was 12. 5/5 stars
Book 3 is Conceal and it was my least favorite. I feel for party boy Jax not being taken seriously but Willow’s story took FOREVER to come to the surface which was really annoying for me. As the reader I feel like I should have been privy to a bit more info from her while Jaxson was trying to figure it out. There were some cutesy Hallmark moment like when he tries to guess her secrets and how her childhood bestie turned impromptu roomie just pick up where they left off YEARS ago. Don’t we all hope to have a friend like that? This book was the least spicy by far, which felt like a let down after some of the scenes in the first two book. 2/5 stars.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
DNF at about 40% through the first book, Deceit. This is my first book by Ava Harrison. I really wanted to like this book but it was BORING! At least it was for me. Though I bought it on sale, I'm sorry I paid for it.
Deceit - Running away because your ex-fiancé is getting married never works out for the best, but in Addison's case it leads to finding romance on the other side of the world. But can a romance that is based on lies be real? Can Oliver hide behind his fake persona and not tell Addy he is in line for the throne? Once again Ava Harrison creates a world that the reader cannot help but fall in love with and literally cannot put down. With each chapter the fantastic storytelling gets better and better and really sucks the reader in. By the end you cannot help but want a HEA. Another great read!!
Entice - River fell in love with Grayson Price when she was very young and at a crossroad in her life. Flash forward to River almost turning 21 and the two are reunited. But she is no longer the little girl of his best friend. She is the beautiful woman who has made him feel things he has never felt before. But can the two make it work with 15 years between their ages? Or will the age difference and her father be the nails in their coffin? Heartwarming and inspiring this book shows that no matter what hurdles you have to climb over the love and connection you have with someone can make all the issues easy to get through.
Conceal - Completely misunderstood an undervalued by his siblings, Jaxson Price is out to prove them wrong. But when Willow comes into his life it is the things that made Jax stand out from others that connects the two. But when the truth comes out and their relationship that was built on lies is put to the test will Jax still be able to prove his worth to his siblings? Or will the true family dynamic come into play? Falling in love with Jax is very easy. The reader simply cannot help it. he is charismatic, adorably sexy and has a heart of gold. But when the reader sees him finally finding the one thing worth fighting for do they completely understand that he is so much more. I simply could not put this down and loved each and every chapter. Best one of the series.
Deceit. Addison and Oliver. Loved the narrators ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Story. Addy was annoying!!! There was soo much potential and she was either running from her feelings..Spencer and Ollie or denying her intuition- Max. How can she be such a bad ass “strong” woman that lived In her head 60% of the story 😳😵💫😳. Ollie was just an idiot… but like able all the way. I live steam and the sexy was more tease than please but the HEA was fofilling. Overall ⭐️⭐️ 1/2.
Entice. Greyson and River. I really enjoyed- the pace was better and it felt more authentic as Greyson came out of his fears… loved River. And I am totally looking forward to Jax story. This one gets a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️on narration cause I love me some Sebastian York but it gets a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️on story too. I always enjoy a bit more sexy… but this was good all in all.
Conceal. Jackson and Willow. Although it was a slower build it made for good character development and to build a little mystery- not too bad of a twist too. Also Willow was a nice blend of strong and broken based on her experiences. There were sprinkles of places that were like… really?!? But easily forgiven in the scheme of things. Greyson was still a dick for the majority of the book but the reconciliation was lovely. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️narrators and about a ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 for story.
All in all a good box set. Great narrators. Good story.
The first book was fun, entertaining but a little too long. The story felt a little dragged out and I think the issues could’ve been resolved a lot earlier. I liked the dynamics between Oliver and Addison overall but did have some annoyances…
Now the second book I really enjoyed!! Grumpy - sunshine trope also with an age difference. I liked the ‘forbidden-ness’ of the story and it made sense. I was a little sceptical on how it would work but somehow it did. I liked both Grayson and River and all the side plots aswell. It kept me interested throughout the whole story.
The third one was a real contender with the second one, not sure which I liked best. But I liked that there was even more of a storyline, I also liked that Jaxson and Willow got to know eachother slowly and later on got together. It was a little predictable but I don’t mind. I liked their banter and dynamics.
I loved all the voice actors and think they did an amazing job! Definately recommend the audio-version.
Elicit- 3.5 stars I have mixed feelings about this one. It’s is a definite slow starter and I kept going more out of determination than anything. Grayson and River are an interesting pair that have more than their fair share of baggage. The yo yo effect employed while they decided if they were going to explore their feelings went on a bit too long in my opinion (but that’s me). The second half of the book worked better for me. I appreciated the emotional growth both characters experienced and how they helped guide each other on those paths.
Conceal - 4 stars Jax is definitely my favorite of the Price siblings! I enjoyed getting to know him and Willow. This was a relatively fast paced story with a great friends/lovers story balanced with an element of mystery too.
Characters with money but serious daddy issues. Oliver and River are worse than others but Grayson isn't too far behind them. Can't deal with early death of father and grandfather. Oliver sent away to boarding school from drunken abusive father and River feels unwanted although father supports her. All need therapy. All of the women are starved for attention, love and yes sex and more sex. Weakness, lack of direction and no sense of worth made women boring to me. Need strong independent women to come out on top and in control sometimes. Of course they all marry and first child in every case is female. Predictable much!
I love the bargain of a box set and being able to keep going to the next book without having to track it down. I borrowed this book in Kindle Unlimited, but also purchased the audiobook. I primarily listened to the books, but I struggled with how weak the female characters were portrayed and how much they whined. It was very distracting. I barely finished book one, couldn’t finish book two, and I almost didn’t finish book three. I’ve always loved strong characters, but I didn’t realize how much until now. When I use an Audible credit, I feel I should persevere and make it to the end. I would recommend borrowing from KU and skipping the audio version.
It's an awsome box-set with many hours of great stories and even better narration.
All the heroes and heroines are amazing characters and it's nice to see how their lovestories develop.
The author has a great writing-style and inserted a lot of ideas and turns and twists in these books, that you just have to know how everything ends up.
This was a very enjoyable read. Books 1 & 3 were my favs. Book 2 was ok. It took me a while to get into it because of the age gap, friend’s daughter, the back and forth with him being wishy washy and her aggressiveness. It was just hitting me wrong, even though I have read plenty of books with an age gap situation.
Ava is one of my favorite authors and her imagination and writing will blow your mind. Her books always keep me addicted from the very beginning all the way through to the very end. You will not be able to get enough. I always look forward to Ava’s books.
I enjoyed this box set of reads. Complex characters and emotions are combined with drama, heat and even some suspense to create three enticing stories that are powerful and heart melting. I am independently posting an impartial review.
This author never cease to amaze me. Every book that I have read by her takes me on a different journey.This box set was great, it gave us a chance to look at the lives of the prices and see how they found love . And that is the greatest joy of all.
I fell in love with all the prices. Addison is tough, caring and strong all the women are so strong. I think I fell in love with Oluver, Grey and Jax. Your gonna love this set. I couldnt or more likely didn't want to put this down.
I bought the three book box set. The first two books were a delight to read. When I started the third book and realized I had already read it. It was so good I read it again and it was a joy to read. I highly recommend these books.
I enjoyed each story because there was intrigue and romantic sections. Each story could have been written as stand alone books, but it was nice that they were interwoven.
I loved all 3 books, but I think Addison and Oliver were my favorite couple. Jason was my favorite character as I really enjoyed his character development. All 3 books had a great story line and kept me transfixed. I will definitely read more from Ava Harrison.
I was won over by this trio out of the gate! Best sibling read. I'll never regret stumbling across this set. Book three had me on a dead run to finish. I couldn't get to the conclusion fast enough. ☺
Add I sons story was good. Jaxson's story was also good. Now Grayson's story was the best. Ava Harrison always writes beautifully. Grayson and River was hot and amazing. Loved it!
Each book has its own interesting and different story. Each scene and plot are unique. I would recommend this series and the author highly. Certainly worth reading.
Finished the first two books and it was a struggle at times. I don’t have any desire to read the story of the 3rd Price sibling, but he is probably the most exciting. I am not really a fan of age gap stories. Flow wasn’t bad on this series and there is spice. Just nothing to write home about.
This is a three book series. The Price siblings get there own stories. First is Addy's story with Oliver. Second is Grayson with Riley and last is Jaxson and Willow story. I loved the characters and the stories but I did get bored at times.
I listened to this series on audible. Each story was equally captivating, romantic, thrilling and highly entertaining. The cast of narrators were absolutely fantastic. I enjoyed going on this journey with the Price brothers and their counterparts. Great series!
First two books were cringing but I pushed through. I almost stopped several times. The third book was actually really enjoyable. If I could recommend anything only read the third book skip the first two.
