4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 125 ratings

Will five boyfriends become six?

Olivia fears her life is about to be torn apart.
Being separated from her men isn't something she can contemplate. How can she possibly go back to her old life in Portsmouth after all that's happened? So when Raul's ambitious idea begins to take shape, she soon finds herself in another continent and with another challenge ahead.

A challenge that will test all of her skills and demand nerves of steel. Because Africa is hot and wild. A new adventure awaits around every corner. She has to keep her eye on the ball, and her finger on the pulse. Not just because there’s danger all around, but because of the tension between the guys she's in love with...oh, and the other one.

Will Paul ever truly fit in? What the heck is going on between the two Alphas in her harem? And can she hold them all together when the temperature reaches boiling point? Only time will tell.

*THE CHALLENGE, by award winning author Lily Harlem, is a reverse harem series best read in order and intended for mature readers. The complete series is available on Kindle Unlimited.

    Loved this book better than the first one.. More interaction than the first.. I do wish Raul had a better physical description. He appears to be a small guy in the book but I have a wish that he was better built..

    No secret that I enjoy the characters and storylines for this series- the Africa trip was great, but I didn't enjoy the addition of Paul to the plot--it seemed so random when the other relationships were so emotional. Some interesting twists to the plot which may turn off some readers, but I'm loving the new possibilities.

    I loved the book. Characters are well drawn and compelling. Can't wait to read the next one.

    After hitting it big in Vegas, Raul wants to head off to Africa and put his winnings to good use. Since it's a chance to stay together Olivia is all for it. Between her and her five guys they have everything they need to build this hospital, except a Doctor. Good thing the twins older brother just happens to be one. They already had a couple problems arising in their relationship at the end of book two, can bringing another man on the trip really help settle things down?

    I mentioned this earlier but one thing I love about this series is how it's set in a situation that could really happen. Not to me, but it's believable. Put five guys and a girl on an island stranded and yea, there's gonna be some hookups. There will be some squabbles between the men. Not everyone will be happy and content all the time and that's real. Lily gives us all of that. Even in book two when we were back in the real world, we got real drama. That continues on into book three.

    At the end of book two I was left a little worried. Things were getting a little dicey with certain characters. I'm glad to say that got settled first off so we didn't have to dwell on it. We pick up some extra drama with big brother Paul in this one though. He's taken a special interest in Olivia's relationship with her men. He's not scared to speak his mind on it either. While he is very outspoken and can be a little rude at times, I have to say I have a soft spot for him.

    We get a couple surprises in this book. Some things I didn't see coming and a couple I sorta thought might happen. And Holy Hell that ending. I seriously messaged Lily when I finished and was all Why Woman?!?! February can't get here soon enough.

    As with the other two books in this series, we get lots of sexy times. Super, intense, hot sexy times.

    I really love a good RH, but I would like a warning ahead of time if it's going to veer into same sex land. Some people may enjoy this, but I do not. Quite a few I've read lately have this element and I stop reading there. If it's going to be a bi book then it should be advertised as such. It turns me off and ruins the story. I would have liked to stick with this series, but this will be the last book for me.

    Olivia and the rest of her team, plus Paul are heading to Africa to build a hospital in Anya's village. This time the challenge is of their own making, it's charity with a sense of adventure. And it keeps the team together. Perfect. Olivia is in love with her five men; Henry, Evan, Raul, and the twins Lucas and Mason. They all adore her in return. The twins brother Paul will also be accompanying the team. As a doctor, he appears to be a perfect fit but will he upset this unconventional relationship? Worried for his brothers he could be a problem. Olivia already has her hands full trying to keep Evan and Henry in line, she doesn't need another difficult male. Africa will definitely be a challenge; heat, hard work, dangerous animals. There are also so many possibilities for happiness as long as they are together.

    My reaction to this book changes by the moment depending on what page I am talking about. It may be my favorite book in the series. I may be unbelievably upset with it. I will do my best to cover both sides equally and fairly. This won't give details but could be a spoiler. Please stop reading now if you don't want to take the chance.
    Positive: The sense of fun that was missing a little in book 2 is back. The Challenge captured my attention in book one as a fun adventure. Fun, fun, fun. Even with the lost boat mishap and danger it was exciting, adventurous, and enjoyable. Book 2 lost its momentum. This book recaptures the magic and it's even better this time around because the characters are committed to one another. There's a true bond between the men as brothers and between the men and Olivia. There are love and friendship, respect and understanding. The heat between Mason and Olivia finally exploded, Henry's kink, Raul's playfulness, Evan's intensity, and Lucas's sensitivity are all highlighted. This part of the harem story is ideal. Africa serves as a great setting. It's hot, deadly, raw, and beautiful.
    Negative: Paul. Yes, it was obvious how it was going to play out but I hate how we got there. Olivia made a bad choice. As far as I am concerned she cheated. I feel that she cheapened herself in the process. I liked the connections she had with the others because they felt emotional. Yes, that led to great, steamy sex, but it started out with a bond first. Paul was insulting and suspicious. He has never claimed to really care for her. She respects his doctoring. LUST. It looks like she can't be satisfied by 5 incredible men whom all love her, she has to have another because she acts on lust now?! Eventually, they will take turns in the real world; when she gets a good haircut, has a great waiter, goes to a pain-free dentist does she take all of those men too? I know I am being ridiculous and I'm exaggerating but could she not manage to control herself to talk to her men? How would she have felt if they decided, "Hey Anya is a great girl, she's one of us now!" No respect or consideration for her guys. I'm also having an issue with Henry and Evan. The little dance they are doing with one another and not talking about it with Olivia is also not harem-friendly. I'm all for a little M/M (I realize that we aren't there yet, but something is happening) but if they keep it hidden and the relationship separate from Olivia that is not cool with me. The harem revolves around love and consideration, not secrecy and selfishness and both of these relationships within the harem are upsetting to me with the way they are being handled.

    The positives outweigh the negative and I did enjoy this book. Plenty to celebrate! I look forward to continuing this adventure. I'm hoping for more guy time the next book. Evan, Henry with Olivia, the domination and kink, the M/M factor is hot! Lucas with his blend of innocence, pure adoration for Olivia, and that something uniquely Lucas makes his every scene special. Mason and Raul both bring the passion. (I'm ignoring Paul. He'll get his whether I want him to or not.) Stowaways is next up and I plan to dive in right away!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling ride!

    Omg! Could this book get any hotter. To say I'm sad I've finished it is an understatement!
    In this book the guys are in Africa, building a much needed hospital for their friend Anya's village. With the twins' brother Paul there as well tempers become frayed as he finds their reverse harem difficult to comprehend. With wild animals and heated passions, this is an exciting and thrilling ride. Runaways by Lily Harlem is the brilliant and very sexy third book in The Challenge series. I can't wait for more!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Might be the best one in the series thus far
    Reviewed in Australia on December 3, 2017
    Really enjoying this series. The 3rd challenge the group face is to head to Africa to build a small Hospital for a very remote community. Throw in Paul, Mason and Lucas' older brother who is also a Doctor, and tensions start to run high. At the village itself, they have to work through their growing relationship and the dynamic with Paul around and wanting to protect his younger brothers from what he thinks is certain heartbreak. The action moves quickly, and I think this book showcased them getting closer emotionally better than the last books did. My only complaint is that it ended very abruptly - mid-conversation - with the next book to take off from that place, and its release over 3mths away. I do look forward to seeing how its all resolved for Olivia and her harem.
