These two give the "Opposites attract" vibes.
Alexei and Eli are what happens when someone with zero self-preservation starts poking the school’s resident monster... and then accidentally falls for him.
Eli crashes—literally—into Alexei Petrov, star defenseman of the North Shore Titans and a walking warning sign. Instead of backing down like any normal person would, Eli decides to go full sass mode. Right in Alexei’s face. Repeatedly. In class. With attitude.
So, naturally, Alexei fixates.
Alexei is terrifying. He’s cold, unreadable, violent when he wants to be, and totally unapologetic about it. The kind of guy who stares at you like he's deciding whether to kiss you or ruin your life—and sometimes it’s both. But the thing is... the more time he spends around Eli, the more that brutal façade starts cracking. Just barely. Just enough to make you wonder if there’s something real underneath all the silence and rage.
And Eli? He’s mouthy, stubborn, and can’t seem to walk away—even when every red flag is waving. He knows Alexei is dangerous. He knows he’s playing with fire. But the heat between them? Unstoppable. And the second they finally give in? Yeah, it’s over.
Overtime they began hanging out, and come to a point where they have s3x, which left them--mainly Alexei--confused. Slowly, they began to realise their feelings and finally give in.
Alexei might be savage and dangerous, but with Eli? He’s also possessive, protective, and secretly aching to be chosen. And Eli? He chooses him. Over and over—even when it scares him.
Would I read this again? Oh, absolutely!
Would I recommend this? Yeah, go right ahead.

Avoided this one because it was so short. Usually don’t go for anything under 250 pages, but this one wasn’t bad. It def could have benefited from more though. It was pretty bare bones, and ended pretty suddenly. Will prob check out the other ones though, I enjoy some unhinged mofos and that def seems to be the focus of this series. There were quite a few other interesting characters that I hope yet a few more pages than Eli and Alexei did.
The audiobook kicked this up a notch and I loved it. It added more depth to Eli and Alexei’s relationship.
