Tainted Trust: Kandi Cove Series by B RAE, B RAE

5.0

Wow !! What a way to end the first book! Was I in tears? Of course I’m a cry baby - duh!

This was beautiful! This is Brittany’s debut novel and ya know I love my dark, bully, stalker, taboo, unhinge reads and this was a different pace and man I need that!

This story just pulls at your heart strings and made me fall in love with falling in love with your first love all over again. Just the build up to it, the connection, the trust, taking your time with that person. It was honestly beautiful to read

AND THEN SHE RIPPED MY HEART OUT & STOMPED ALL OVER IT!

Without giving anything away Axel just moved in with her aunt after losing her mom- her dad ain’t shxt and she’s the new girl wanting to just live man, she doesn’t trust men easily and has her walls up. Roman is the star basketball player, with a heart of gold, someone who doesn’t date or take anyone seriously and yet when he sees Axel for the first time he knows that’s the girl he wants. This to me was about your first love, trusting after have trust broken and testing if love can withstand anything.

I read somewhere that this was Dawsons Creek / Friday Night Lights vibe and yes! Yess it is. Ima add One Tree Hill into that mix as well - It’s that vibe and I loved it. I’m here for it. And the side characters I loved them, I did wanna whoop one or two side characters asses LOl. This was like watching season 1 of a show.

I have to wait until book 2 - it does end on a cliffhanger so I’ll be here eating my feelings away
