The Arrangement Vol. 6 (The Arrangement:Ferro Family)

Twenty two year old Avery Stanz is a survivor. She's strong, cunning, and intelligent. She doesn't seem to lose her head easily with all the angst, stress and desperation she's feeling. She feels as if she has to fight for everything...even for every breath she takes. She's oh so tired! And now she's been betrayed by her two best friends as well as her love interest which has just about traumatized her. She can be humorous, and spunky with a little sass. It's amazing that she can still laugh with what she's faced...but she can and does although lately, she's not even smiling much anymore. Going to school on a Scholarship she's about to lose - Avery is beyond desperate and her desperation makes her vulnerable. She's completely alone in the world and she needs money....fast. Beyond exhausted with her life hanging by a thread, she's offered an unscrupulous job that she cannot refuse. The money is just too good to pass up. Avery is defiant and she refuses to give up...she'll do whatever she must to stay afloat. She only wants her life to be stable again...is that too much to ask?Sean Ferro (age??...anyone??)...has become a cold, ruthless, calculating man. He's broken, hollow, callous ...and wealthy. He doesn't "do" relationships. He has a grim, sexual fetish....he likes to inflict fear into his partner(s). It's a turn on. Sean Ferro wants Avery in a sexual way she's not accustomed (actually she's not really accustomed to anything sexually...she's a "newbie") But for Sean Ferro, it's the type of gratification that he needs. He doesn't want to lose her yet he doesn't want to put her through his type of sexual fetishes. He's one messed up puppy. Sean has a few other emotional issues as well. He's one damaged soul - - he doesn't allow himself to get close to anyone or anyone to get close to him.This is the 6th installment of this tediously slow moving, albeit well told, plot....this plot that creeps along at a snails pace...and I'm STILL wondering WHAT does Avery look like! I mean, am I the only person questioning the color of her eyes, or how tall she is??....how "dark" is her hair...it's long enough to go into a pony tail...but HOW LONG is it????? In one chapter we find out she has bangs (thank you for that driveling piece of info Ms. Ward). I guess we're supposed to surmise by the cover picts. that are chosen, huh? The Author takes few scenes from the previous book and breaks them down in THIS book...add's a few "dum-dum-duuuuum" moments...and then ends it, leaving the reader once again hanging. Of course ya gotta buy the next 90 pages for $2.99 to read the next few very short chapters, only to be left hanging again. I don't know who's the bigger loser; certainly not this author for taking advantage of and scamming her readers....it's me for falling for this Soap Opera. Maybe since I came late to this party, I should skip to the most current "novellita"...hmmmm...how many have been written by now...42?? I'm sure I wouldn't miss much in between. I'm giving this installment 4★'s, because it's told well, (which is what a review is all about). I can say without any doubts...I will not purchase from this author again.

This is one of my favorite serials ever. It’s sexy, sassy, funny and dark.This serial belongs to the dark and brooding Sean Ferro. He’s the first Ferro I was introduced to, and he holds a piece of my heart. As the series start out, Sean is very mysterious, and to be honest – 15 volumes in (when I’m writing this review), he still is a bit of an enigma. There is still a lot to be learned. He’s a dark SOB, this one. He’s got his fetishes, but holy wow is he delicious. And scary. Seriously, I love him – but if I had known him IRL I would have been scared s***less, and kept my distance.Then we have Avery. This girl’s got some spunk. I mean she has to, given that Sean is her love interest. She’s a struggling student when we first meet her, and when her best friend, Mel, realizes this, she reveals what her REAL job is. She’s a high dollar call girl. Ms. Black latches on to Avery immediately, and if Avery just takes one client, it could solve all her problems. She only has to say yes. Problem is she only wants one guy, Sean. Enter: a s***load of trouble.“I’m rewarded, uh, I mean punished, with a slap to my backside.” - AveryThis is an erotic romance, and you can expect some mighty steamy scenes. Some of the volumes more so than others, because there is a hell of a lot going on in this series. The Arrangement, and Sean basically, was the catalyst for all the other books from this same world. Sean has made an appearance is in every spin-off so far. So this is obviously a great place to start if you are curious about H.M. Ward’s books. Just remember to start at the beginning. You would not understand half of what’s going on if you jumped into it halfway through.It’s important to note that this is a fan driven series. Essentially that means that as long as the fans want more, there will be more. And I honestly can’t picture the day we won’t want more. So if that is not for you, I recommend you go pick up something else, because this story has been going on for a good while now, and I certainly hope it will go on for a long time to come – as long as Holly wants it to.Another important note is that these are split up in volumes, and each one end on a cliffhanger (Holly is the queen of cliffhangers). It’s nerve-wracking every time. And it is one of the tings that keep it just as exciting as it was in the beginning. As well as the fact that they’re always fast paced, and it never gets boring. Each volume starts off exactly where the last one left off. I always like to re-read the latest volume before the next one releases because you really get thrown right back into the action without any recaps. It really is kind of built like a TV-show, which is so awesome, because something like that is currently in the works! *fangirls* Just Imagine seeing THE Sean Ferro on screen…

Good story but not many pages for the price.

I can't believe that when I started this series that I didn't like it! It just gets better and better! There is a lot of revelations in this book and I think Avery is at her worst during the events that transpire! There are confessions galore in this part and just as we think Avery and Sean finally admit their feelings towards each other it all comes crashing down. The whole subject matter if being a call girl doesn't sit well with me but it doesn't with Avery and that's why I think her emotions are what they are and it reflects in the story which will have you gripped!

The storyline is really good. Emotions running from very pore possible. Would recommend to anyone who has enjoyed fifty although not on the same level. Only down fall is the shortness is annoying. Reading other books in between causes me to have to 're read so would suggest waiting till all books are out. A must read

Keeps you gripped but how long are they going too be dragged out for, talk about cliffhanger again?? So will we have to wait months to read the next chapter, cause that's what it feels like with the book being so short??!! Please don't drag it out for too long :-)

Oh dear these books seem to be getting shorter and shorter. The storyline in some of them is a little boring but saying that as I am waiting for No;15 to come out I am wondering when these are going to end
