What will happen now?Ĭarissa impulsively takes on a summer renovation project but things don't quite go to plan with her contractor. I did feel a bit bad for Blake though.Friends to lovers and other complications!!! When they finally revealed their feelings for each other, (after Elizabeth told him to leave her alone after the first time he told her he loved her – I wanted to shout at her for this) I fell in love with them both, and the budding romance between them was so cute to read, and I could feel their connection to each other. I don’t normally care for fighter books, I don’t like the idea of the main character being in fights unless they’re over the lady for some strange reason, however this made me very different about this particular genre, and I loved it! I found myself really connecting with both Declan and Elizabeth, even if at times I wanted to scream at her to tell her to just take a risk with Declan, but I totally understand why she would be hesitant, and this is very realistic. Now, being an english gal, I LOVE the sound of Declan, I love both of the twins, and would have loved to have read more about Dax, so I hope the author has or brings a book out with him as the main character. Elizabeth is a smart girl who has unfortunately has had a bad time in her past and she has never fully recovered, she uses her sexuality as a mask to cover her pain every day.

The passion of a lifetime.ĭeclan is not your average English bloke, he is a macho underground fighter who also has a very sensitive side after being hurt a few times.

A tattooed British street fighter, he’s the campus bad boy she’s supposed to avoid, but when he saves her from a frat party gone bad, all her rules about sex and love fly out the window. But then she meets Declan Blay, the new neighbor at her apartment complex. She’s learned the hard way that people you love the most always hurt you in the end.
