Nora Flite

I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Please know that while this isn't a long book, it will literally grab your attention within the first two paragraphs; you won't remember to exhale until this story has released you from its vise-like grip when you see those four dreaded words:

"End of Book One"

Once you see those four words, you should already have book two lined up in your queue next, because you won't want to let the downtime in between linger for too long.

I show more love the dual POV narration in the story; Nora Flite managed to capture both Drez's and Lola's feelings equally, but without making either MC sound either too self-serving, or weak. We get to experience Lola's nervousness when she plays with the band for the first time in practice, how she saw Drez's reaction to her mistakes and what she does to handle the situation. At the same time, we really get to see the effect Lola has on Drez (but he refuses to let it show around anyone else). On top of that, throw in sexual tension and you've got one helluva story!

I can't wait to learn more about both Lola's and Drez's backstory, and how the situation with Lola's brother Sean plays out. I highly recommend this series! show less

I'm a sucker for a fake relationship story, and this one did not disappoint! Conner and Maya are good together, and their chemistry is HOT! Their relationship starts off as a no strings one, but quickly turns to something else. I think they both fell fast, but didn't want to admit it. I loved Conner, he was an alpha but also had an emotional side. Maya had some serious trust issues, and that got in her way eventually. I was happy to see that drama wasn't drug out for too long. The ending was show more very sweet, and I loved how everything ended up. The only thing that knocked this story down from 5 stars for me was not getting Conner's POV until the epilogue. I like being able to get both sides to a story. Other than that, great read!

This was a fantastic read full of laughter, some awkward moments, manipulating family members, weirdo ex's and a sweet love story that leaves you with a satisfied smile on your face. Maya cracks me up with how she was all no nonsense at work and used to be in control and then along comes Connor and POOF no more cool, calm OCD Maya! They are the perfect match right from the get go, but Connors secret ugh I wanted to thump him when I found out, but then again Maya wouldn't have had the chance show more to see what a healthy relationship could look like with someone who loved you for you ... even if it was supposedly "pretend" engagement. You definitely want to make sure when you sit down to read this that you have time to finish it as you won't want to put it down! show less

This is definitely a dark romance and at times I felt uncomfortable as I didn't know what would happen next, which to be honest is what kept me reading. I lied the characters with Georgia being the strong willed yet still scared victim who got away once, Conway who appears to hate what he does but due to circumstances must do them and Lonnie who is a creepy creepy younger brother to Conway. The fact you get so torn over what is happening, what could happen along with the twist and surprises show more it keeps you going until the end. To confirm this book does push the limits in some ways, but doesn't cross the line.
