Rule Archer and Shaw Landon couldn't be more different. He
is the ultimate bad boy with piercings and tattoos and she
is a pre-med student, on the road to greatness. However, one
thing binds them together -- Remy, Rule's twin brother and
Shaw's former best friend.
Three years have passed since they buried Remy, but Shaw has
held a flame for Rule ever since she set her eyes on him.
His bad boy side appeals to her on a deeper level, yet Rule
has never shown Shaw any emotion apart from annoyance. Quite
frankly, I did not think Rule appreciated Shaw enough in the
beginning. He was often rude and callous of her emotions, so
at first I found it hard to see what she liked about him.
However, like many New Adult titles, there are two sides to
every story. Thankfully, readers also get a chance to read
Rule's point of view. Rule doesn't often show his emotions,
but when he does, I believe it's worth the read.
Jay Crownover's authorial voice nicely fits the New Adult
genre. Uncomplicated but deeply thought provoking, Crownover
takes two opposites and manages to pull off the impossible.
As you can expect, the level of angst is high and provides
the perfect amount of heartache and grief to round out the
story. Fans of Katie McGarry's Dare You To will find much to
love about this book. Jay Crownover spins a sexy tale of
healing and growth that manages to keep readers riveted
until the very last page.
Opposites in every way . . . except the one that
matters
Shaw Landon loved Rule Archer from
the moment she laid eyes on him. Rule is everything a
straight--A pre-med student like Shaw shouldn’t want--and
the only person she’s never tried to please. She isn’t
afraid of his scary piercings and tattoos or his wild
attitude. Though she knows that Rule is wrong for her, her
heart just won’t listen.
To a rebel like Rule Archer,
Shaw Landon is a stuck-up, perfect princess-and his dead
twin brother’s girl. She lives by other people’s rules; he
makes his own. He doesn’t have time for a good girl like
Shaw-even if she’s the only one who can see the person he
truly is.
But a short skirt, too many birthday
cocktails, and spilled secrets lead to a night neither can
forget. Now, Shaw and Rule have to figure out how a girl
like her and a guy like him are supposed to be together
without destroying their love . . . or each other.
