I loved absolutely everything about this book. This was enemies to lovers done RIGHT. It also had an intense emotional layer to it that really made it live in my heart
Devon and Maddox are fire together. The TENSION was everything I wanted. The chemistry between them was electric. Nordika truly has a talent for world building, I could picture everything in and around Garron Park. Sensational writing. Lot 62 is already downloaded. I will also devour any other book Nordika has written (onw to your backlist!

“Then I looked down, making the biggest mistake of my life. I stopped breathing, my lungs paused, holding air and forgetting to let it out. Not only was this the best feeling, but it was the hottest thing I’d ever seen. Devon on his knees with my cock down his throat was going in the spank bank, and my god, how did I not know I was into this before?”
-Maddox
“Because…you’re mine or some shit.”
-Maddox
“Whatever this thing is, I’m so fucking in it, it isn’t even funny.”
-Devon
The passive aggressive affection these two show each other is strangely adorable. There was angst, love, irritation, and mushy goodness. Did you watch Shameless? It is like the relationship between Ian and Mickey. Kinda weird and odd at first because they just don’t seem right for each other. Then there is a look, a quite moment, a smile, and next thing you know you are rooting for them and wondering how this wasn’t how it always was. Excited to read books 2 and 3 and see what these boys make of their lives.
Also, Nate and Xavi are on my radar. Boys… Whatcha doing?

These two. Devon and Maddox are not 25. I know the author told me they are 25, but in my head I pictured high school kids. That's the only way I could read this because they are super immature and juvenile. But the hate fucking is real and I loved it. So that's why they get the stars.
I'm pretty sure their brothers are having sex too but we'll see about that.
This is enemies to lovers, but still enemies-ish which is weird. There are triggers, so just be aware.
My main gripe, besides their immaturity, is the hygiene. 👏🏻👏🏻Just because someone is poor does not mean they are filthy. 👏🏻👏🏻 They can shower and have clean towels like wtf. The author repeatedly mentions dirty clothes, dirty fingernails, dirty towels, dirty hair, the filthy house, and it's like, yes they are poor. But they can be clean and poor. It's so demeaning.
I like the brothers, and the neighbors, and the tension with the dad. So I'll read the next one. It only took a few hours to read this so I might as well.

i didn't love their dynamic and at that point of the book i was not interested in whatever would happen. i mean, they pretty much solved "everything" so i had enough
