Swoon for Carson

I jumped into this book blind just going off of everyone saying how much they loved it and I can honestly say it did not disappoint. The drama, steamy tension and overall obstacles had my turning pages faster and faster. Carson and Logan were like two magnets, opposites yet drawn together no matter what. I enjoyed their journey and their HEA, now I can’t wait for Hayden and Levi to get their stories!!

Thoughts

Ive heard people talk about Rosie and her books for SO LONG so I knew that it was going to be good. I however wasn't expecting to binge the book and go to bed at 3am when I get up at 5am. This book was ADDICTIVE. This won't be for everyone but i ate it up.

The FMC takes so shit and it was kinda messy. I thought it was so fun that she just did what she wanted. Theres a scenes when she fing her stepbrothers friend and the stepbrother watchs. it was so hottt.

I devoured this book. I am excited to read her other books.

Carson is so freaking hot. I would like a Carson of my own. Anyone know where I can find one?

I enjoyed a lot of this book. I had to age the characters up in my head because I didn’t realise they were minors until I was part way in. I assumed they were 18. That’s on me for not reading the full blurb & trigger warnings.
Somewhere in the book Carson just switched from bad boy to lap dog which I didn’t exactly love, but all in all it was pretty decent.

This book was so fun and such a quick read. I devoured it. It would have been 5 stars, but for me the ending was so rushed compared to the rest of the book.

I was really excited for this book and while the story did have good aspects to it, I was a bit let down. My first dislike is my own fault. I don’t care for stories with teenage MMC’s and these character defiantly act like teenagers. I cringed a number of times at the characters. But again they are supposed to be kids so I can’t judge too hard in that aspect. Next, there’s definitely a physical attraction between the main characters, yet their relationship lacks any real depth. The characters themselves lack true depth as well.
The one scene where we get any depth from the MMC is when he discusses his future and what he wants. He’s upset and feels he’s stuck in being the football star because that’s what his dead dad wanted for him. He also mentions he’d rather be a lawyer like his mother. Yet, at the end of the book, he’s about to be drafted for football…? I wish we had seen that emotional conversation have an impact on his future.
Also, the plot of the story kinda falls off toward the end and the main characters go at it like bunnies. A lot is left unresolved. In the end, it was just an okay book but I am curious about The Wicked as I was intrigued about the MMC of that book.

Good read

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a lot fluffier than I normally read as I love a good dark romance. That being said this was good. Logan and Carson are adorable and I really liked their dynamic. The spicy scenes were really good too. Overall this was a very good read and I’d recommend giving it a shot!

I love bully/stepbrother romances, but normally the MFC is such a weenie and such a damsel in distress. This book was different. Logan is a bad bish who takes not shiet. Carson dished it, and she took it, and gave it back. I loved it!!
