review 1: I requested to be a part of the tour for this book out of the blue, I didn't know what it was about or how it was going to be. So I had very low expectations and right now, I am feeling confused about my feelings towards it. Olivia had the toughest part of her life going through her senior year and now that she has finally moved on to college, she is sure that she can finally pursue her dreams. But all that changes when Brax moves into her life, with his killer smile and killer reputation. He's everything Olivia knows she should never want, but he just might be everything she needs. *Plot:The storyline of this book is very familiar to the NA genre, with the whole heart-wrenching subjects of abuse and recovery. This book started off on the same note, and it pretty m... moreuch never addressed the subject again until the last chapters. I felt like this was a normal contemporary romance without the dark subjects. *Characters:The characters were not very likable. Olivia just seemed too naive to be a college girl and she questioned her thoughts and feelings to an unhealthy state. But after a while, she grew and I began to like her. Brax was the typical NA love interest with the bad boy attitude and a heart of gold. Although he really wasn't my favorite NA love interest because he was just too moody and temperamental to be good. *Romance:The romance was definitely my favorite part. Although their romance started off as interest-at-first-sight, it grew into something that I felt was real. I loved the chemistry between them and the hot scenes were to die for. But I felt like the strain on this relationship was unbelievable at times and most of their problems were not problems to begin with. Finally, this book was definitely much more enjoyable than I thought it would be and the ending was satisfying to the 100th degree. I loved it. Although this will not make it to my list of favorites, it might appeal to a lot of people. After all, it's all a matter of perspective.
review 2: The beautiful cover of this book was just enough for me to check this one out and read it. The blurb was pretty interesting too. However, I have to say I’m a little disappointed with this one.I’ve noticed that most NA novels have a structure. Broken main characters who find themselves drawn together and try to fix or heal each other. And the guy has to be kind of an asshole at some point. Throw in some curses and sex, booze and drugs. There you go. And I have to say that it’s so frustrating to want to read a new adult novel, only to end up with the same cliche story. Okay, that may be harsh, but the truth hurts right?This book somehow happened to fall to that category. However, unlike most of them, this book wasn’t as dragging and annoying. I found it pretty entertaining for some time or maybe most. Also, there wasn’t much sex so that was a positive point for me.I couldn’t make up my mind whether or not I like the main characters, olivia and Brax. Olivia started out as a strong and smart girl. She’s a big sucker for astronomy so I request a high five right there. Although there were times that I wanted to gouge my eyes out because of her attraction to Brax. I mean, I like cheesy sometimes but not too cheesy up to the point that I want to barf. I found it really cute when she points out Brax’s accent, but then it was too much in the book that I found it really distracting.I love Olivia’s relationship with her family, especially to Jilly. That was one of the most beautiful parts of the book for me. It was heartbreaking, yes, but beautifully written.Brax… his mouth needs a filter. It’s like there’s a curse firing out of his mouth everytime he opens it. I don’t find that attractive at all. I mean, I curse sometimes, or too often but I do know the right time and place to do it. I have to point out his passion though. I admire that about him. But yeah, I found him very much domineering and really frightening most of the time. He was just too much to handle, I guess.Tessa was my girl. I love her and I wish I’d seen more of her and Cory. Kelsy was a prick and a coward. And he’s way worse than Brax. Noah was also a character that I wish I’d seen more of. I think his character still has the potential to be developed.Overall, the book was a good read, even though I found myself rolling my eyes for some time. I’ve pointed out my thoughts, the positives and the negatives and I’d say it’s up to you to be the real judge of the book. less
