Stolen Moments
by Catharina Maura
Summary
Carter and Emilia are neighbors who love to hate each other. Carter is Emilia's best friend's older brother and the two of them play countless pranks on each other. When their feelings start to change, they find many roadblocks including Emilia's swearing she'll never fall for Carter, and Carter leaving for college in the fall while Emilia has two years of high school left.
Thoughts
*Quick note to say I absolutely adore Catharina Maura and 90% of her books I love and rate highly. I do not feel that this series is representative of her writing talent.
I really did not enjoy this book or the series. If I wasn't trying to read all of Catharina Maura's books, this would have been a DNF. The characters' actions and feelings are quite incongruous with their past actions and there's quite a few plot holes. I loved Carter falling first, but it was awkward reading such sexually charged situations when they're teenagers. The book also had a lot of rambling paragraphs and pages that should have been cut. The inconsistent characterization and the lack of editing made this a disappointing read.
Contemporary romance, high school but not YA (sophomore & senior), enemies to lovers, neighbors, best friend's older brother, pranks as flirting, he falls first, emotionally abusive friendship
Explicit, virginity
Cliffhanger
