Spice 🌶🌶🌶
I'm so happy that I got to read this as an ARC. This book was so great, and I'm a lover of Step-Siblings romances! This author is amazing! The way she added in the perfect amount of suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat, guessing. Wow, I love this book!
Tropes:
🏈 Football (Quarterback)
📚 Step-Siblings
🏈 Forced Proximity
📚 Suspense
🏈 Bullying
📚 Touch Her & Die
Eliody has her life planned out. She's been accepted into Stanford University. One night, while in her mom's hometown, her and her sister go to a party. Eliody gets lost on her way back to the hotel. She finds herself in a park/playground where 3 guys are trying to sexually assault her. A guy comes out of nowhere and saves her by attacking the boys. Eliody runs and calls the law to help her hero out.
A year later, Eliody's mom says she's getting married to her high school sweetheart, and their all moving in with her new husband and his 4 sons in the town of Willow Creek. The same town she was in when she was attacked.
Rome is her new step-brother, and he is set out to make her life a living hell. He had his life planned out as well. Accepted into UCLA with a football scholarship. Now he's benched for half the season of his senior year, watching his twin brother Wilder playing in his spot. His life is ruined, and he blames Eliody for it all. He runs the high school they go to and pretty much blackmail and bully anyone to get his way.
With Eliody in his site and living under the same roof now. She's going to pay for what she's done. Eliody is clueless as to why Rome is after her. And now that she's back in town, she's getting threats, drugged, and sought after by someone who wants to hurt her. The only person she can seek out for help is Rome. The more Rome is around Eliody, the closer they become. When Eliody finds out the truth as to why Rome is after her, she'll do anything to help him out. To try and fix things and make them right. Now they just have to find out who's after her.
This book keeps you on the edge of your seat, trying to guess who is after Eliody. When you think you have it figured out, it's not that person. Plus, you have the football team trying to get into Eliody's pants and making comments to Rome. Rome has got a temper and is mad at the world since his mother died. Can Eliody help him calm out. Oh, the spice is extra spicy between these two. I normally feel weird sometimes reading a romance book about high school teens. I'm imagining these two are 18, even though it didn't state it. Because I would feel really weird reading about younger teens and really spicy banging scenes. Besides that, this book was amazing 👏 🤩
