A review by miacolada
Garron Park by Nordika Night
4.0
-- 4.25 stars --
Ohh, this was unexpected! I really enjoyed the story, the characters and their dynamic. There was no boring part in it and I devoured the book in 2 days. The development of their relationship, the thoughts and concerns of Maddox and Devon and the storyline involving garron park and their shitty lives with abusive dads worked fine for me. This is truly a enemies-to-lovers story, where the enemy and competitiveness aspect stays strong till the end and the love language are flying fists and the obsession over each other.
It's not a top tier deep story at all and the actions of these two sometimes don't fit to their age and made me cringe a bit - but well, what should I say - I was entertained, nevertheless! Expect a semi-light reading experience where the tropes hover in a mid range, but don't pull you in a deep state of feelings and emotions (at least for me, but I'm a sucker for strong angsty stories, my threshold might be distinctly higher :D). The same goes for the smut - on some points I missed a proper "foreplay" or build up and more emotions, but it was hot and I enjoyed them too.
Overall I'm looking forward to the second book and how the story continues. There are still things unsolved and things unsaid, which builds a great suspense for more.
My tropes and rating
- angst 3/5 - for me still a low-to-mid angst, the depth is not strong enough
- enemies to "lovers" 4/5 - they both are true heart rivals till the end :)
- hurt/comfort 3/5
- physical love language 4/5 - fists are flying, chests are being shoved... but for good ;))
