I don’t have words to say how much I loved this book. It was a quick, easy read that had me deeply invested from beginning to end. 

Of all of the Rebels’ girls, I see myself most in Mary. She’s a bad bitch, tattooed from her neck to her toes, and took her trauma and built herself into a strong female lead who refuses to get her heart broken.

Enter Leo Hernandez, a charming football player from her past who she hates with all of her heart but suddenly he's… her new roommate?  Being under the same roof, she realizes that he’s a lot more than she pegged him for. 

These sweet angels went through so much, and proved that sometimes time and growth can heal all wounds, and the way Mary let her walls down to fall for Leo both broke and mended my heart at the same time. I will love them forever.

I got so attached to this world I’m so sad it’s over. I didn’t expect much from Leo & Mary’s book but I loved it so much. The ending did feel somewhat rushed to me but I still really enjoyed it

Oh i loved how the main wasn´t your typical tenny tiny woman. the tattoos ans piercing *chefs kiss*. I knew i liked her from the moment she gave the main dude shit for using pussy as an insult, loved her for that!!! But as much as i liked the characters i did not feel their love. I feel like she let go of the past too fast (i am a sucker for groveling and he did not grovel enough) even tho he did remember all the things happening. Which i also found a bit weird. It was a fast and enjoyable read but i did not feel enough
