WOW!!! Just when I thought the rollercoaster that is Luce and Jude couldnt get any more crazy I was wrong. So Jude!! Can he be real! Seriously he was and is an amazing guy! He said the perfect things and did the perfect things and that man loves Luce Larson with every fiber of his body!! Luce was just confused with it all, she loves Jude with all of her body but was scared of it and that is why she made some decisions that made me cry buckets for Jude. I understand her reactions because I believe that they are natural reactions that the majority of females will have especially the scene with Jude on his bed naked and knocked out from being drunk and Adriana coming out naked! I mean who wouldnt freak out!! I am excited for book 3 and cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quiero estos libros ya en castellano. Es una relación mega destructiva y para sufrir hasta el final, pero amo leer sobre ella. Jude Ryder es un amor.

Oh Jude, Jude, Jude !!
I was kind of worried the 2nd book would ruin the 1st one, but I'm glad this is one of those special series where having a sequel works!
I just love Jude's over-protective macho-man character. However, in this book, I seemed to get a little annoyed at Lucy, I mean I get that the whole roller coaster relationship is tiring, but how the hell can she just throw it all away ? I mean... its JUDE FUCKING RYDER!
Anyways, the books was just as addictive as the 1st one, Jude was just as sweet if not more, and their relationship was just as compelling!

Another one for the books. Loved this story just as much as the first. My one pet peeve is how much Lucy over thinks everything, but I guess if she didn't there wouldn't be much of a story........would there? I love Jude and how much he puts into Lucy, his love for her is heartwarming. The ending had sighing in relief......already reading the next one!!!

Take the premise of the first book but instead of high school they are now in college. Same crap, different setting. Except in the first book there was at least some kind of story going on. I'm not sure what, but it was there. Here, it's just nothing but a game of 'I love him, I love him not'. It was on par with reading a 15 year old girl's diary. Ugh!
This book, like the first is still not about Lucy dancing. The girl dances twice in the book. We read more about Jude playing football than anything else.
My problem with this book is again, the characters. I hate every single one of them.
Lucy tries to be this bad ass, take no crap from no one, kind of chick but she falls apart at the seams whenever it comes to Jude. WHY? It's not even like you've known him that long! Hell, they've broken up more than they have actually been together. Fact.
"When were asshats like this going to figure out they couldn't do whatever they wanted with a woman? We weren't beasts they could control. We were women who could rule the world with our eyes closed, but were smart enough to know to stay out of that whole mess. We were women-hear us roar."
*Excuse me for a moment while I both laugh and cry at the irony*
Lucy said this, not about Jude of course, but of some random guy who wanted to take a picture with her! Yeah, that whole bullshit speech for some random no one who meant no harm to her. She's a strong woman alright, unless Jude tells her what she can and can't do. Then she's putty in his big, manly hands. Oh...
Jude is still a dick. He gave off manipulative vibes in this book to me. Every time Lucy wanted to end it, he'd go on this whole "Oh, I'm sorry I'm such a screw-up, I'm sorry I can't change. No, don't feel sorry for me because I love you, Luce." Blah blah blah. I didn't like that. The girl wants to get away from you, let her. Don't try to guilt her into staying. I also can't understand why his teammates are so afraid of him. They let him boss them around when I'm pretty sure he's not the biggest guy on the team. The coach let him do whatever the hell he wanted and even the guy at the box office knew not to cross Jude Bad ass mofo Ryder. Give me a break! He's not even that tough. He's like a Fonzy rip-off at best.
The story to this one, like I said, is nonexistent. It's about Lucy breaking up and getting back together with Jude, Jude playing football, random characters who are only there for the convenience of the 'plot' and weird conversations that no one in real life has. I kid you not, Lucy has a full on conversation with some random freckle faced weird kid at one of the games about how the kid thinks Jude (out of all the players on the team, yeah) is a superhero.
After that entire scene, I'm pretty sure I screamed for a half an hour.
Oh, and LMFAO at Lucy's parents complete character changes for no reason. They couldn't be bothered with her in the last book, now they care. Lolololololol.
One more book. Just one more book and I can put this awful series behind me.

No BTS with this book either folks! *BTS means Book Two Syndrome* It was so good I read it in less than eight all together. I'm team Jucy or Lude I don't know what you call it. Here's a few scenes I loved and Oh, and by the way I love Danny <3. You'll know him when you get to Chapter 14. I give this book 5 stars Because of all the feels!!!

I don't know why I liked this book so much, Lucy really annoyed me with all her insecurities. I must really like Jude :)
