About this audiobook
The higher you climb, the farther you have to fall...
Reed Brennan knew being elected president of exclusive Billings Hall would change her life. What she didn't count on was being dumped by her boyfriend, Josh Hollis, or being held responsible for a fire that destroyed Easton Academy's oldest building.
And now the administration wants to shut Billings down. Forever.
As president, it's up to Reed to save Billings Hall. What better way to win over the headmaster than to host a glam fund-raising event in New York City? Everyone needs a date, and the newly single Reed is the most eligible girl on campus. All of Easton's hottest boys are angling to take her out, and for once, Reed's biggest problem is which one to choose.
Reed has never felt so popular or powerful-until the police start asking questions about Cheyenne Martin's death. Excited party buzz quickly turns to whispered rumors and dark moods, and one thing becomes clear: There is someone who wants to see Billings, and Reed, go down. And they will do anything to make it happen.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not one of the best books in the series but still pretty good. The ending was a let down and didn't really make me want to read the next one as many of the others did. The book over all was okay but after a while you get sick of Reed being paranoid and self pitying.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5One of Easton’s oldest buildings has burnt down and it’s all on the shoulders of the Billings’ girls. Now, to make sure they get to keep their house, they have to host a benefit and raised $5 Million for the school, in just a couple of weeks.All the while, Noelle is stepping on Reed’s toes as president, strange things keep happening to Reed after Cheyenne’s death and Reed’s nemeis, Ivy, is now dating Reed’s ex, Josh. Oh, and Reed is still keeping a little secret at to why she and Josh broke up, but it may not be secret for much longer.After this book, I am taking a little break from the Private series. I do this to myself every time I read a series. I read them all really close together and I get a little burnt out. I should’ve taken a breather after the last one since I didn’t like it as much as the others, but now I’m sure.With all of the drama of the other books, this one was very tame. Yeah there’s a little cattyness but not much happened. At least nothing that wasn’t expected. We all kind of new that Ivy was going to bring drama, now we just know why. We also knew that what happened at the Legacy wouldn’t stay at the Legacy and Noelle was bound to find out.I am giving Ambition 2 stars.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ambition is the seventh book in the Private series. Reed finds herself up against the head-master and the Easton alumnae after a fire destroys one of the buildings on campus. A fire that occurred while Reed and other students were sneaking off campus to attend the Legacy, an annual, exclusive event.Reed comes up with the idea of a fund raiser in NYC and asks several of her Billings sisters to assist her with the planning. One of which is Noelle. As Reed coordinates meetings and appointments, it appears as though Noelle is trying to sabotage her.Meanwhile, everyone on campus is shocked to learn that Cheyenne’s suicide may have been a homicide instead. Another murder investigation on campus.Just as things are starting to look up for Reed, the secret she’s been hiding since the Legacy, is revealed. One night, one mistake can change Reed’s life at Easton forever.Like the previous novels in this series, Ambition is a quick read. While reading, I couldn’t help but feel this novel is more of a “filler” to prepare the reader for Revelation, where Cheyenne’s murderer is revealed. There are a lot of clues in this book and hints about what’s to come. I’m looking forward to reading the next book soon.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Reed always manages to find herself in the middle of murder, mahem and elaborate party planning. This book is no exception. In this story, Reed struggles to find her voice as the head of Billings Hall, despite the presence of a mysterious other who continues to accuse her of her involvement in Cheyenne's death, through leaving reminders for her to find. Who is behind all of this? Don't get your hopes up that you will figure it out... as with previous novels in this series... all is not what it seems and the secrets and drama are not resolved at the end of the story! A fun, quick continuation of the series. I'm just glad I got this one at the library- I rip through these too fast to pay for them!!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Reed Brennan is elected president of the exclusive Billings Hall. She never thought he would get dumped by her boyfriend, or be held responsible from a fire that burnt down the oldest building in Easton. The administrative board wants to shut down billings forever. Reed has to save the Billings Hall. She decides to host a glam fund-raising event in New York City. Everyone needs a date. But Reed is single and the most eligible girl on campus. All of the hottest guys on campus are taking her out. But Reed can only choose one of them. She has never felt so popular. Then an unexpected turn comes when the police start asking her questions about Cheyenne Martins death. Secrets emerge and one thing becomes clear. Someone wants Billings and Reed to go down. It was a good book. But the bad things is there was alot of unexpected turns. You need to like mysteries to read this book.
