Cala Riley, better known as Cala and Riley, are a pair of friends with a deep seated love of books and writing. Both Cala and Riley are happily married and each have children, Cala with the four-legged kind while Riley has a mixture of both two-legged and four. While they live apart, that does not affect their connection. They are the true definition of family. What started as an idea that quickly turned into a full-length book and a bond that will never end.
After reading Mayhem and being introduced to all the side characters, I knew that Nate and Hailee's story would be SO good! This book shredded my heart. I felt SO much while reading it.
We got to see a different side to Nate in this book. In book 1 we saw the protector, the playboy, the fun and free side of him. In this book we saw the broken, bitter, avenging side of him. He was trying to protect himself, but in doing so he tried to destroy one of the best things in his life. Boys are pretty dumb sometimes. I want to slap him and make him SEEEEE!
Hailee grew so much in this story. She had to find her footing and depend on herself. She was thrown heartbreaking jabs at almost every turn. Throughout all that, she never gave up hope. Hope that love would prevail and conquer over evil. My heart broke for her. She went through so much. She was a fierce force though and didn't just take anything thrown at her.
This was a fantastic conclusion to a great duet. I'm glad I read them. These couples were special and not soon forgotten.

An epic conclusion to the Trailer Park Girls Duet!!!
This book picks up right where Mayhem ended. A dead cheerleader at school and a new set of drugs, we need some answers! While Mayhem was Willow and Chase's story, this story is all about Nate and Hailee. Hailee is Williow's best friend and wants to help out any way that she can. When the cheerleading team needs a new cheerleader Hailee decides to go "undercover" to see what she can find out. Now Nate, does not know how to handle this. You read in Mayhem things heating up between the two of them, but now Hailee is on a mission that Nate knows nothing about. This book will keep you on the edge of you seat trying to figure out what is happening.
Poor Hailee, I wish I could give her a hug throughout this book. You felt every emotion that she was going through between the team, not having Willow as a friend, and all the stuff Nate put her through. I could never be as strong as she was. Now Nate....this boy. He will make you so mad with some of the stuff that he does, seriously I was about to slap him, but then you have to remember how young he is, plus how he grew up. He only really had his older brother Chase growing up, and I love Chase, but not really the best example. Nate acted immature because he thought Hailee was betraying him and he is all about loyalty. He will do anything for his family, and he expects the same in return. So while I was mad at what Nate was doing, it made sense. He will still trying to protect Hailee even though he was acting dumb.
This was a fantastic duet by Cala Riley. It was filled with suspense, action, and swoon worthy moments. They have become a must read author for me. They have no fuller moments in their novels. Everything they write has a purpose, I never find myself skimming.
I am sad that this story is over, if only I could convince them to write one more, I fell in love with these characters. I got it!! Write the next one about Willow's dad coming back!! :)
This review actually hurts my soul to write because I can't give Nate and Hailee 5 stars. Cala Riley is a one-click must read, no questions asked author for me. But that being said giving Harmony 4 stars doesn't mean the book was bad. But Mayhem was my favorite book from Cala Riley so Nate and Hailee had huge shoes to fill.
Harmony picks up right where Mayhem leaves but switches to Nate and Hailee's story. A dead cheerleader and answers that need to happen. Nate is Chase's brother from Mayhem. In Mayhem we get his fun, carefree, playboy side. Hailee is Willow's best friend. She lives in the same trailer park Willow does with her foster family. She's in foster care because her parents died. Her life is drastically different now than it was when her parents were alive. But she found a friend and a sister in Willow.
We see Nate and Hailee get close in Mayhem and cheered for them as a couple. Hailee brings out a side of Nate you don't expect to see after your first encounter with him.
After a talk with Chase and Willow Hailee decides to do something and they don't tell Nate. During this entire book we see Nate completely not thinking. He is so distracted by what he thinks Hailee is doing, he can't see what's actually happening. I struggled with this part a little. Like why can't he see what's going on? Why doesn't he see if Chase thought Hailee was doing something to hurt Willow he would end her without thinking. But the bottom line is Nate wasn't thinking. He didn't have a clear thought throughout most of the book. The idea of Hailee betraying them hurt that much.
Harmony is still and amazing read from Cala Riley and I would recommend it to anyone. And maybe I'm a little bias to the oldest Rockfield brother and that's why Nate is coming in second to Chase. Nate and Hailee's story is a great ending to this duet. Cala and Riley have once again delivered an amazing book. I hope you read and love Nate and Hailee's book but remember Chase is mine!
Harmony is the conclusion to the Trailer Park Girls Duet, but this dynamic duo flipped the script and this story followed Nate & Hailee this round who are connected to Chase & Willow (Mayhem). Nate feels betrayed by Hailee, and man he's a total tool who had me heated more than once since he was letting Hailee have it because of his feelings. She was only doing what she was doing for someone else, as that's the kind of girl that she is, she'll put those she loves ahead of her own heart so he had no right as far as I was concerned LOL! Plus, he was totally blinded by his rage covered hurt to see the signs that not all is as it seems but boys can be so dumb that's for sure. It sure didn't help that they're young as well & many mistakes are made in our teenage years that's for sure. I'm trying hard to be vague since there's a lot in play here that I don't want to give away, so I do hope that everyone will hit those one click buttons to experience it for themselves, but know this, YOU MUST READ Mayhem (Book 1) FIRST! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I'm disappointed about this one :( I hated how it started, and it only get worse moving on. I hate that their story was ruined, i didn't like this plot at all. The only reason i didn't DNF it was because i was invested in them from the previous book and also because i wanted more of Chase and Willow. There is barely a built up for this couple, i wished for more! i needed more attraction,more couple times, more chemistry, more infatuation, i dunno. There were missing all the things i needed to feel something about them.
Harmony is the conclusion to the Trailer Park Girls duet, and it kept me on the edge the whole time I read it. I loved Nate and Hailee in Mayhem and even more now that they have their own story, though there were moments when his behavior infuriated me and I felt like slapping some sense into him. It was a great read, full of suspenseful action, mystery, twists, and character development. Once again, Cala Riley delivered a great story. I recommend giving this duet a try!
Harmony is book 2 in the ‘Trailer Park Girls’ series and I could not put it down.
This story picks up right where Mayhem finishes; Hailee knows she has a job to do but she may just crush the one person that had vowed to protect her in the process. Nate and Hailee had formed a bond and even chemistry that is desperate to burst out but this game they are playing is deadly.
I personally loved this story, Hailee proved what a strong and independent woman she is, Nate continued to grow as a character and has brought out a side of him that would make any girl want to be by his side.
Cala & Riley have smashed this book out of the park; they are my one click author that never disappoints I cannot wait for what they deliver next.
Man did Hailee ever surprise the life out of me! This girl has balls of steel! I thought she was meek & quiet & the complete opposite of Willow. But she surprised me in the best ways. How can you not fall in love with her in this book!? Seriously Nate is one lucky lucky guy!
I had this sneaky feeling throughout the entire book, because I was trying to piece it all together but I still never guessed half of what happened. It’s intense & everything I’ve come to expect from Cala & Riley. Seriously just an amazing read & the perfect conclusion to this duet. I love these characters & will miss their badass ways.
Y'all ... Nate and Hailee's story has so many layers to it. We know they have chemistry... we know they are both fierce people. I will say the different sides of Nate we saw caught me off guard ... I get he thinks Hailee abandoned them and Betrayed them but shew dude is a douche. But of course the whole time there push and pull is always there and in the end it all works out. Sad to see it over but the ending was good!
I waited with bated breath for Hallie and Nate's story, hoping it was going to be as good as the little teasers dotted throughout Mayhem. Cala and Riely once again didn't disappoint. Harmony means friendship, unity, and understanding, all of this is tested in a fast-paced, gripping, and extremely hot, YA romantic suspense. Once again these two authors have delivered a cracking page-turning keep you on toes must-read.
ARC Review by The Dragon Den * * * * * Fantastic finish to the duet but I totally feel there is more to come. Damn the chemistry and hate and love between Hailee and Nate was just scorching. The betrayal! So many flips to characters and situations you definitely won't see it coming.
Mayhem and Harmony Willow and Chase; Nate & Hailey
It is a review of Mayhem and Harmony, books one and two. I liked the introduction of Mayhem; however, reading forward into the storyline, I could not connect with the female character. The plot was okay, and the script did not keep me captivated all the time. The author penned Willow as an intelligent girl, but she was so silly. Willow would argue every little thing; being mouthy and sassy does not equal tough and brilliant. How the author scripted Willow was viewed, in my opinion, as dense and silly. She jeopardizes her safety and the boy's safety. Both Nate and Chase were protecting her while she was playing games of stupidity. Instead of trying to have a better plan, she jumps into danger without knowing what she is doing and then regrets it; really, could she be so dense? I liked Chase. He is too good for Willow. The author made a mistake in having Willow as his love interest. He is an underworld leader, and she is so wrong for him. Willow is too impulsive, which means she can be dangerous to others, especially in this setup Kingpin story. Regardless, I felt sorry for Willow's need to self-harm, an actual mental health issue. The necessity to self-harm is challenged when the need to control emotions is too overwhelming to bear. Cutting becomes an escape from their emotions and is a repetitive behavior when the injury outcome releases the feeling of distress. So stopping just like that is unlikely, not without help; it is a long process. In my opinion, the author did a good job explaining Willow's self-harm. I liked better her best friend Hailey she was more logical and had more sense of the danger surrounding them. Hailey did not view the protection offered by Chase the same way as Willow. Hailey was more cautious in making steps that could jeopardize everyone's safety. Harmony was written a little better than Mayhem, although some of the script was boring. I liked the main characters, Hailey and Nate; their personality fit into the relationship. The storyline was sometimes stalling; however, toward the middle and end, it was better-paced. The epilogue was okay and did not really reveal anything new.
When you are willing to risk your life for your "family" can you ever come back? Will they forgive you and can you forgive yourself?
Harmony is book 2 of the Trailer Park Girls. In Mayhem we were introduced to Nate and Hailey and knew there was something there.
Hailee decided that she needs to help out Willow Chase and Nate with who dealing drugs at their high school. Why, because a girl was found dead in the locker room, apparentlyof a drug overdose. Rumour has it that whomever it is, they are going after Nate and Chase's area and business. How can she help? Does she end up turning on them? When the cheer squad brings her in, does she feel a part of something or is she in trouble? Her life is a mess and really has nobody to turn to.
Nate is having a hard time believing Comet, Hailee, had turned on them. His attitude towards her becomes cruel and treats her like she is a waste of life. Problem is something keeps telling him that some is off. He continues to use her and verbally abuse her. Can he ever forgive her or himself?
I wanted so many times to slap Nate and yell at him for his attitude. His demeanour towards Hailee had my stomach in knots.
Cala does an amazing job of getting you hooked right from the start and throws a few twists in at the right spot. Although I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I did enjoy Mayhem a little more. Grab this one and Mayhem and enjoy the rollercoaster ride of emotions.
This is the 2nd book in this awesome duet and this story continues straight on from where Mayhem ended, into Nate and Hailee’s story. Hailee is Willow’s best friend, and her life was changed forever when her parents passed away, and she is now living in a trailer park with her foster family. Nate is a conundrum, and he is Chase’s brother, and while in #1 we saw the fun, carefree, playboy, in this story he is broken bitter, and avenging. While Nate is busy trying to protect himself, he almost destroys one of the best things in his life. The chemistry between Nate and Hailee is explosive and undeniable. This is a well written story which is heartwrenching, intriguing, emotions, and with friendships, family, drama, and love, which leads to an entertaining and addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
This story is crazy, Murder, Drugs, Blackmail, Betrayal. Haliee(Comet) Lost her parents and got put into the system. She made friends with Willow, Chase, Nate, and her foster brother Jacob. Her best friend Willow was stalked and her. There school has something shady going on and they need to get to the bottom of it. Comet decided to help Willow and they came up with a crazy idea and they only included Chase in it. This was dangerous. You don't know who to trust and odd things were going on. Nothing made sense. It took a while, but things started to make sense. You must read this to find out all the details. You wont be able to put this book down. Comet story broke my heart. REVIEW BY MARIBEL

Thank you United Indie Book Blog for allowing me to read this book.
Loved this book from Cala Riley! I liked Mayhem, book one, don’t get me wrong, but there was something about the way they wrote the pain and betrayal Nate was feeling that just spoke to me.
I liked how, for once, it was a book where the guy wasn’t thinking clearly because his emotions and feelings were clouding his judgment. I understood his pain and I felt awful for him.
Hailee was doing what she thought she needed to do to protect the people she loved and those she called family. She literally put her own personal happiness on the back burner for them.
I loved the twists and turns and suspense. Overall, it was a top notch read for me once again from Cala Riley!
Hailee has been through so much in life and thankfully she has the support of Willow who has become like a sister to her. This story picks up right where the first in the duet, Mayhem, drops off and flips perspectives to Hailee and Nate. This story pulled out so many emotions and I loved seeing the character development between these two. Their chemistry is explosive, but they have to learn to trust and love. A lot happens in this story and it's a great duet to grab and devour. Yes, you will devour both of them!
