Holy Sweet Baby Unicorns!!! This book was EVERYTHING, I literally couldn’t put it down from the first page to the last. Kingston is the best alphahole and you can’t figure out if you love him or hate him or if you can’t even trust him but you want to all the same. And in the same breath Jazz is so fierce and sassy, she is the ultimate badass and you can’t help feeling all the emotions for her. Thank god the second book is out and I can jump right back into this amazing world that Laura Lee has created!!

Jazz is supposed to be a hardened but pretty sister from the other side of the tracks whose father brings her into high society. Supposedly. I do like her vulnerability, but I expected her to fight better. I expected her to make good decisions. She doesn’t. The first party she drinks something spiked. The next party she walks drunkenly with a friend into the woods expecting her *hot* almost boyfriend to meet her after midnight?
Well, there are hints the alcohol has affected her judgement, so I can understand. But still…
Kingston is hot. We get to read about his motivations, but I really like his interest in digging up the dirt on their parents, and I wonder why Jazz doesn’t do the most basic research on him and his friends. She studies in a library, duh. Kingston is primed to take a part in his father’s company, but we don’t know what he really wants to do after graduation.
Their friends are just as interesting, but Jazz’s dad is complicated. I found him fascinating to explore. He is cold. He might or might not be attracted to underaged women. He is misogenist. Yet he legitimizes his daughter, asks Kingston to tame her (hopefully as a socialite), and treats her as a daughter. I keep wondering if he is actually not the cruel and depraved person, but maybe Melissa, his wife, is? I get the impression she is pretending to cow to his demands.
There are so many questions left, I might download the next one. But the twist at the end left me depressed.
Warnings:
* Potential Rape or almost Rape
* Murder
* You won’t be able to put it down. Expect lost, tortured sleep.
* Definitely NOT Young Adult
I think a contemporary romance must have an exotic setting and powerful characters. You will get both, and a twisted plot. Don’t read this if you are depressed.

Jazz just got annoying. I wish she was stronger. And don't get me started on that cliffhanger.

Umm that ending wow! I can't wait to see what really happened because I don't want it to go where we are lead to believe.

Bully Romances are my obsession! I make no qualms about this. They are definitely one of my favorite tropes and this book was just added to my list of favorites. I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved this book and I am dying to read more in this world created by Laura Lee. It is dark and intense. It is emotional and angsty. It is a complete roller coaster ride that I did not want to end. I am loving the start of this series and I am ready for the next one. I can't wait to see what Laura Lee has in store for us.
