The Blurb
Jaxon is the guy she’s supposed to avoid.
K.C. is the girl he won’t let get away....
K. C. Carter has always followed the rules—until this year, when a mistake leaves her the talk of her college campus and her carefully arranged life comes crashing to a halt. Now she’s stuck in her small hometown for the summer to complete her court-ordered community service, and to make matters worse, trouble is living right next door.
Jaxon Trent is the worst kind of temptation and exactly what K.C. was supposed to stay away from in high school. But he never forgot her. She was the one girl who wouldn’t give him the time of day and the only one to ever say no. Fate has brought K.C. back into his life—except what he thought was a great twist of luck turns out to be too close for comfort. As the bond between them grows, he discovers that convincing K.C. to get out from her mother’s shadow is hard, but revealing the darkest parts of his soul is nearly impossible.…
My Review
To be honest I don't know where to start.... Actually yes, yes I do.
This book is fantastic. I could just leave the review there and let you find out for yourself but I neeeeed to tell you how brilliant it is. I am, however, struggling just trying to put my thoughts down as there are so many good bits and I've highlighted so many passages in my kindle, that my copy looks like it's having it's own disco. I didn't want the story to end, it was that good. (You can probably tell that i'm suffering from a bit of a book hangover.) There were parts that made me smile, laugh, get angry, tearful. I ran the whole gauntlet of emotions with this one.
It's part of the Fall Away series of which I've been a fan since downloading a copy of Bully when it was first published. This story focuses on K.C. Carter (Tate's best friend) & Jaxon Trent (Jared's younger brother). Two very very damaged souls.
Not many people liked K.C. after Bully and Until You but you will love her in this. Her background is so sad and she gets treated terribly by the people who are supposed to love her.
"Throughout high school and college, I was always lonely."
I spent a lot of time routing for her, hoping that someone would come along and give her a cuddle.
We learn more of Jax's history; why he is much more dangerous than his brother. He is, quite rightfully, an angry young man who keeps that anger simmering under the surface. There were times that I thought Jax was cruel towards K.C. but as a reader, you take into account his youth and immaturity plus she held her own. The sex scenes were H.O.T.! These characters have strong chemistry and it was beautiful to watch their love story unfold. I also enjoyed reading about their growth as people and how they started to heal.
The gang is all here in the book so we get a good dose of Jared, Tate, Madoc & Fallon. Fallon's dad makes an appearance with possibly one of the funniest lines in the series. (It's difficult to write this without giving away lots of spoilers, so i'm going to leave it there.)
If you haven't pre-ordered this book already, I would highly recommend doing so....now. Have I mentioned it's awesome? A solid five stars from me.
