About this ebook

When the biggest rockstar in the world invited me into his home, there was one rule:

Don’t touch his daughter.

For a kid from the wrong side of the tracks with no future, the offer should have been a dream come true.

Classy new digs.

A fancy prep school.

Someone who cares what happens to me.

Except for that rule.

The rich pricks at my new school worship me. I couldn’t care less.

She’s the one person who makes me feel worthwhile.

I want to save her from the turmoil eating up her picture-perfect world.

But she thinks I’m her rival: for her friends, her future, her father’s love.

I should keep my distance.

Avoid rescuing her from the assholes in class.

Pretend I can’t see in her bedroom window from the pool house.

There are only two obsessions in my life—music…and her.

All I have is my talent to set me free.

But my future will burn if I can’t stay away.

Rivals is an epic, angsty romance featuring two people from opposite sides of the track forced together by a forbidden love that could cost them everything. For fans of high school, enemies to lovers, bully and rockstar romance.

Note: If you have previously read A Love Song for Liars, A Love Song for Rebels, and a Love Song for Dreamers, the new RIVALS e-book also contains an extended epilogue short story.

Ratings and reviews

Fab re-read of this series all in one book. Great to be able to get to the cliffhangers and just turn the page to continue! All. The. Feels Lots of highs and lows in this book, my heart literally squeezed a few times because just when it looks like everything is going to work, off the story goes in a different direction again.

Piper did a fabulous job of combing this series into one book. The Rivals Series is composed of A Love Song for Liars, A Love Song for Rebels, and A Love Song for Dreamers. Now we have these amazing stories all in one book. This story is a teenage, young adult, angsty, forbidden, friends to lovers, second chance romance story that expands over a 8-10 years.The narrators, Teddy Hamilton and Rose Dioro did an amazing job. You could feel the smooth transitions, the angst of the characters.

This is the first series I've read and listened to by Piper Lawson. She wrote well with an excellent storyline and complicated characters. My heart squeezed from sorrow to elation throughout. My emotions were all over the place. Tyler and Annie are perfect together. We get the best HEA. An author that makes me physically feel my emotions and pulls me into a world they have created becomes a favorite. This ebook is the first three books in the series and also includes a holiday short story that had been included in a holiday anthology. The short story had the perfect amount of anguish (because they can't seem to get away from it) and happiness. It left a smile on my face. I've listened to the audiobook twice now since I own the individual audiobooks. I absolutely love that she has produced a full length audiobook with the first three books. Teddy Hamilton and Rose Dioro are excellent narrators. Definitely favorite narrators after this series. They perform with such passion.
