Bash and Lenny’s book was
probably the hardest and the easiest book for me to read in this series. I
couldn’t put it down. Every time I turned a page there was another hit and I
had to see how they were going to overcome each one. Bash has been my quiet
favourite since I started the season. It’s really hard to fight against being
what everyone around you is and expects you to be and Bash didn’t for a second
think twice about it except for his love for his brother.
I honestly couldn’t wait
to get my hands on this after reading the last 3. But I was also so nervous
because I expected there to be a bit of other woman drama from the previously
met train wreck. But everything I was expecting didn’t happen but then so much
more did.
Lenny had the patience
of a saint and I had several moments where I wanted her to call uncle and walk
away for her own sanity. But then Bash is a hard character not to love and
trust and he never left her in any doubt as to his feelings.
Now though, I have added
a load of other books to my TBR that I can’t wait to read.
I
have been binging these books and loving every word of it. But going into this
book straight off the last one kind of felt like I had read spoilers. Luckily
for me, although I had an idea of what and when for one part of Declan and
Annabelle’s story but there was so much more to it.
I
loved watching them come together from their own points of view. The title was
very fitting because of everything Annabelle had been through and the way
Declan worked for everything he wanted. It felt like it happened suddenly, but
it also feels like they worked for it.
Tommy
was the absolute star for me. Having a son on the spectrum, I always love when
you get a character that's a genuine reflection of the awesome uniqueness and
the challenges. As I read in the notes at the start of the book autism is such
a huge spectrum that there's no typical. Except for the damn dinosaurs. Lol
Although
the way that Declan loved Tommy made my day too. The twists and turns in this
book were the right mix of I know where this is going but I'm not sure how we
are getting there. And I am so glad that I can jump straight into Sebastian's
book now. Right after I add Sammy's to the TBR that is.
I
put down the first book in this series and then read a different college sports
romance and after I put that down, I decided to take advantage of my KU and
binge read the rest of this series. And I’m so glad I did that. Except I read
the blurbs for all the books and each time each future couple is mentioned I am
dying to jump to their book and see how the bit from this book’s perspective
plays out in their book. So many times I had to stop myself from double
checking things and just stay in this story.
Not
that that was hard to do because this book was great. I honestly had no idea
how Sabrina and Aiden were going to work together. And then I read the teaser /
start of this book and I had so many theories and worries and even more
confusion on how these two could work.
Until
I was around chapter three or four, and I loved them together. They were the
perfect mix of opposites attract and being beautiful, similar people at their
hearts who just meshed well together. I didn’t really pick up on the whole
politics thing for Sabrina in book one so I’m not sure if it was introduced in
this story, but it made them seem even more unlikely yet even more perfect.
I
enjoyed these two as a couple. They complimented each other and were both so
protective and possessive it made my little romance loving heart super happy.
And since I’ve already added the next two books to my kindle, and I got the
little bit of future info on Annabelle and Declan I am even more dying to jump
in.
I read a few reviews before I
picked this up and I went into it not sure if I was going to love it or hate
it. Thankfully, I enjoyed it. Yes, it kind of read like a debut novel but the
story was fun and kept me interested. The characters were 18, which made me
feel even older and I can honestly say the comments about them calling in their
parents to help solve the issues were unfounded. I met my husband at 18 so I
understand them meeting and knowing. And we now have kids that age and we are
basically as involved in their lives as these parents were. I think calling in
your parents when shit hits the fan is a normal reaction regardless of your
age, provided you have a good relationship with your parents. Especially when
they have the tools and resources to help you with your problem.
Everything I read that made me question reading
this book was all nitpicking imo. If you're reading new adult romance you have
to accept that they are young and this is a romance. It would be a pretty lame
romance if they met, waited however many years you feel is appropriate for them
to be ready for the commitment and didn't deal with their problems in the most
logical way possible.
