I was going through a sorta college romance phase. Maybe I was having withdrawal issues, you know, cause of the whole Beautiful Disaster thing? I needed a Travis fix STAT. Well, obviously I didn't get it, cause no one can replace Mr Maddox. But, I did get pretty darn close with Rule. I said it ladies, he's up there with Trav. **Sighs**
It was love at first curse. Hehe.You know when you browse through Amazon/Goodreads, and add a pretty silly amount of books to your TBR list? Yeah, That's what I did with this. I even pre-ordered it. Totally forgot about it too. And then I woke up, and Mr Kindle had a present for me. I was confused, see, I really did forget I ordered it. I had to research it. And I knew, I knew I was gonna love this guy. Oh, and how right I was.
Rule is a man whore. He doesn't deny it. He isn't even ashamed. He's also not really bothered about Shaw turning up at his apartment, seeing him naked (with another girl in his bed, also naked). It's all part of their routine. He gets drunk, gets laid and passes out. She studies, wakes his hungover ass up and drives him home every Sunday. See, routine is important!
What's the problem? Is he secretly in love with her, and trying to forget about her by sleeping with every female within a five mile radius? Nah. Shaw loves Rule.
“I think it’s genetically impossible not to be kind of in love with him when you come equipped with a vagina. It’s just something about all that angsty, moody swagger he has that makes you want to cuddle him up and make him feel better.”
Oh, but it gets even more complicated. Rule has always believed Shaw was dating his now dead twin brother. The whole family did. And then..
He takes her virginity. When they're drunk. See where this is going? Ah yes, good.
He wants Shaw, he gives her his heart.
“Here’s my heart Shaw. You have it in your hands and I promise you’re the first and last person to ever touch it. You need to be careful with it because it’s far more fragile than I ever thought and if you try and give it back I’m not taking it. I don’t know enough about love to know for sure that’s what this between us is, but I know that for me it’s you and only you from here on out and I can only promise to be careful and not push you away again. Life without you in it is doable, but if I have a choice I want to do it with you by my side and I’m telling you I’m not running away from the work it takes to make that happen. Shaw I’m not scared of us anymore.”
How freaking sweet was that scene guys?
And the family..
Well, when the truth comes out, everyone turns their backs on Shaw. The only real family she has ever known doesn't believe her. They don't want to know her.
And yes, hearts are broken. And yes, we feel every damn second of pain with them. It was a sweet torture though. Because you know, you just know that these two are meant for each other. So you sit, and read, hope and pray, that they get their shit sorted sooner rather than later and give you a really hot steamy sex scene. And then you hope for more.
You can't not fall for these guys. They're perfect. Okay, so they're not perfect, but as far as damaged tattooed guys go, Rule is perfect. HeHe.
Damn, I just love this book guys. I'm sure there were several mistakes and all that shit. I don't give a fuck. Nuh uh. If I didn't notice any, then they can't be that bad. I never got confused, I never had to re-read anything, I just went with it. For me, personally, I thought it flowed pretty darn well. I didn't (couldn't) put it down. I read it in one sitting. It was that good. I;m not saying you all have to agree. Hell, it would be awful if everyone agreed, then there wouldn't be anything better out there. But honestly, for those of you who have written really really negative reviews? Damn, they aren't reviews, they're targeted insults. If you can't find anything nice or helpful to say, don't say it! Sorry guys, I needed to get this in here today!
Anyway, 5 big fat gold stars for this baby :)
