This book starts off with West having a shocking moment finding out the stipulation in his grandfather’s will for him is to produce an heir within a year and to say he is shocked is an understatement. Then we are introduced to Stacia who is having her world flipped entirely upside down, but her friends rally to help her, and she finds herself being roommates with West. These two have had an instant attraction and chemistry, but could not be any more opposites. I loved their banter and they made me laugh a lot. Not to give too much away but these two are made for each other and will amazing together.

Holy swoon alert! I was hit with so much swoon with West. But i really enjoyed this book. I loved seeing Brock, Aj, Stacia and West. The plot was so good. I love babies in books!

Overall Grade: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I know I have no real claim to her, but I want one. I need one. I need this woman to be mine. For this body to be for my eyes, my hands, my mouth…my worship only. “

Rebel Soul, LK Farlow’s newest book, follows the story of two friends, two people, who, looking at their appearances, are very opposite. West is the CEO of his own company. He comes from wealth, and Stacia is struggling to save her family from a financial predicament. All of her money is tied up in an investigation of her father. However, given their differences in appearance, there is a keen attraction between these two and a problem. In order for West to inherit his grandmother’s estate, he must “produce an heir by the age of twenty-five” and his time is running out. Initially, he and his lawyer buddy, Colton, believe they have found a resolution to West’s issue. Unfortunately, his heart struggles to accept their solution. The more time he spends with Stacia, thrown together as roommates due to her family’s troubles, the more he wants Stacia to act as his baby-mama. Will Stacia accept West’s proposition? Or will West have to stick with his initial plan? Even more, will Stacia fall for West as he begins to fall deeper for her? Only time will tell.

This is my first LK Farlow book. I have always loved the “opposites attract” and “baby/marriage of convenience” tropes. There is tension rife within these tropes related to ideas of acceptance. I think it’s human nature to want to find acceptance and love with anyone. That idea runs as the undercurrent of Farlow’s Rebel Soul. The tension of this story lies in Stacia accepting West’s proposal, but, even more, in accepting West.

Farlow has created a heroine with such strength of character that she, oftentimes, self-sabotages the resolution to her problems due to pride. She struggles to accept help from her best friend and West. It’s easy to love her because she seeks to help her family overcome their troubles. Yet, her choices oftentimes derail her ability to move forward. In all of that, though, you can’t help but love her. She’s self-sacrificing, true to herself, and she challenges the hero, West. In fact, that is the best part of the story: their chemistry.

Farlow crafts their chemistry in such a way that it leaps off the page, and whether you agree with West’s want to procreate with Stacia, you root for it because you see their future, even when Stacia can’t. It would be simple to state that the story is unbelievable, yet Farlow constructs their coupling in such a way that it feels believable and you hope they will find their way to each other.

West represents your typical hero. He’s stalwart, at times a bit like a caveman, and quite frankly, he falls faster for Stacia, I think. For me, I like that. I love when a hero cannot help himself, and he does everything possible to win the heroine to himself. That is the case in Rebel Soul. West goes from player to dedicated baby daddy in fast form. If I struggled with anything, it was the whiplash of West’s change, but, I guess, when you know, you know. West morphs quickly into a dreamy hero with nothing but Stacia on his mind.

For my first LK Farlow book, Rebel Soul hits all of the notes. There is definitely an attraction between Stacia and West from the start, and this book takes its readers on a journey of acceptance of each other and a non-traditional arrangement. The reality is these two are made for each other, and it isn’t a stretch for them to find their happy ending. Farlow reminds us with Rebel Soul that opposites attract and find love just like the rest of us.

“Seeing her right now, though, I’m struck with a sense of rightness, like she belongs here, in my home…my bed…my heart.”

This isn’t my first read by this author and I adore her books!

This one is no different. This one was just as swooning and heartbreaking, but not the typical heartbreak you think.
Stacia, this poor woman. Her love for her family and loyalty to them is so strong that she broke my heart with all she gets thrown at her. But like I said she is strong and will do whatever it takes to get her family back to good terms.

West was a surprise to me. I thought he was going to be your typical cocky, alpha hero but he took a twist that I didn’t see coming! It was such a great little twist that made me love him!! Not that I hated him at anytime but you will see what I mean when you read it.

This whole book was just sweet, cute and steamy!

I have been looking forward to West and Stacia book since Rebel Heart. I really liked how this book started out but I felt the romance overshadowed the secondary plot concerning Stacia’s father. There’s no denying West and Stacia have chemistry and funny banter but I never felt the transition from friends to lovers while reading this book.

I'm definitely in the minority on this one! I received a copy I believe from a giveaway but it's labeled an ARC.

So what happened? The best way I can put it is word garbage. The descriptions in this book made me feel like the author was boosting her word count. The characters are made out like they are well off. I find it hard to believe ramen is on there list of things to eat. Or describing your McDonald's meal... Yes it's important. I also don't understand quoting mean girls? Some people haven't seen this movie nor really watched it enough for this to be funny. This was my first read by this author but I found it challenging to keep reading. I thought the idea was good but what I really wanted was heat between the characters. When he told Stacia he loved her I almost fell out of my chair. Like I said though I’m in the minority because the book has over four stars. Author also promotes another author's book in her book which I have only seen one other time.

Would I recommend or buy? I thought the idea was great but seriously thought the author veered off topic too much to consider it a book I’d enjoy. I loved the cover which is eye catchy. I’d have a hard time recommending it. I am in no way trying to disrespect the author, just voicing what I did not enjoy.

I received an ARC copy and voluntarily left a review!

Yeesh! Swoon-heaven!!!

I've recently just picked up LK Farlow's books and this one did NOT disappoint. This is a feel-good read if there ever was one. It has all the best parts of a romance book- emotion, passion, humor, etc. LK's writing is top notch and I was hooked from the beginning.

West and Stacia are friends who decide to make a deal, strictly in the business sense, of course. What they don't count on is the tension that mounts between them and the passion that erupts when they're together. West is deliciously swoon-worthy while Stacia is a sassy firecracker. I loved them together!

The way their story unfolds keeps me turning the pages, wanting more. I seriously couldn't put my phone down (Kindle app for the win). I thought Rebel Heart was amazing, but Rebel Soul is definitely my new favorite! A MUST-READ!! I can't wait for her next book!
