A friend of mine posted that this was available for free one day on Amazon so I jumped on it because ya girl can never pass up the opportunity for a free book. I went into this book with super low expectations and ended up loving it!
Now, we all know I'm a complete sucker for anything smut and anything enemies-to-lovers and this covered every base for me! This story starts out with Lilith who is living in a lower class part of Chicago but is forced to move when her dad gets a better job opportunity in New England. She is the definition of a sassy and strong woman and I automatically loved her character. Enter in, Connor, sexy, arrogant, rich boy who is as someone else accurately described as "the perfect amount of damaged-but-redeemable alpha male." Connor is the son of Lilith's dad's boss and is adamant on breaking Lilith and ensuring that her and her dad go back to Chicago. The only problem is, Connor is quickly obsessed with Lilith and intent on making her his.
I seriously loved all of the characters in this, even some of the side characters and I really enjoyed the plot of this. I thought it was well-paced and kept me engaged throughout the entire book. Despite a few grammar errors that were easy to look over, in my opinion, I thought that this was well written and kept me hooked from the first chapter! Don't even get me started on the sex scenes...holy hell. They were VERY steamy and dirty.
I just had a few critiques. This is supposed to be a high school setting but to me, the characters did seem to be much older with the things they did, yet seemed much younger in the way that they texted each other. (i.e. "what ru doing 2day?" or "wait til u c these uniforms I have 2 wear") I also think that being rich could definitely have affected how they act so maybe that's why they act older than what a "normal" high schooler would be like. My second critique is that I honestly wish the ending hadn't of been so rushed. Everything seemed to be wrapped up too perfectly, too quickly and I honestly just wanted more! I loved these characters so much and I wanted a more thought out ending for them.
Overall, I binged this in almost a day because I literally could not put this down. I loved the characters, I loved the general plot, and I will definitely be checking out more of this authors work! I highly recommend this book to anyone who, like me, enjoys a binge-worthy, smutty romance.
