BLURB


Jared

They say love and hate dance together along the same line.
My feelings for Layla didn’t dance on the line; they destroyed it.
It’s been seven years since she disappeared without a trace.
And now she’s back, but things have changed- I’ve changed.
I’m no longer the Jared she remembers - the boy who wanted to protect her.
I’m very much my father’s son, and I take what I want, and what I want is Layla.
But this time, I’m keeping her forever.

Layla

Seven years, that’s how long it has been since I’ve seen him.
After years of putting myself back together, I’m finally ready to start a life without his memory chasing my every step.
Imagine my surprise when my first step leads me straight back to him.
Only he’s not the boy I remember.
He’s angry.
Damaged.
Hiding secrets that want to destroy him.
He hates me. He wants me.

I’m not sure I will survive the man he has become or his demons that threaten to destroy us both.
ALSO AVAILABLE

ARC Review: Deceive Me by Vi Carter (Broken People Duet #1)

 

Deceive Me (Broken People Duet, #1)Deceive Me by Vi Carter
My rating: 2.5 of 5 leaves

I received the ARC of this book in light of the release of the second book in exchange for an honest review.

My actual rating is 2.5 leaves. It would probably go up to 3 leaves, but then I just wasn't sure if I can give it full 3 leaves. I will read the second book because I need to know how it all ends, plus I kind of want to know how Layla and Jared's story.

Well then let's dig in!

The book started soo good, but then the logic of Jared's hatred towards Layla flew out of the window and I was way too pissed and not truly involved. Plus Layla was pissing me off a tad bit way too much. I don't mind a bully romance, sometimes I even like it, but come on we get 2 POV's but don't get the whole understanding of why Jared hates her so much!

But let's take everything one-by-one. So first of all, Layla - she was an interesting character, that I just couldn't like. The author did a good job of describing her trauma, but then again, I thought it was missing something. I mean 7 years of therapy should have given her a bit of a backbone? But no.... She was a dumb scared girl who was seeking to reconcile her love.

Jared - now he was a character that drove me nuts. (Don't get me wrong, I love some good angst), but hell if I wanted to read more about his turmoil. Actually, we didn't get much turmoil at all, which again, I hope is rectified in the second book.

One last thing before I finish off, is it me or am I getting really weird vibes from Evelyn? She's creeping me out a lot. Well then, I'm off to read the second book (I received an ARC for it after all, and I do want to know how it all ends, plus the writing is pretty good (plot pacing is another thing)). Oh, and can my Irish friends tell me do you really have lockers in your colleges? Because that college reminded me more of a high school rather than a college.

So if you are a fan of bully college romance, then check it out!

XOXO
