A review by oceaneanagonye
Garron Park by Nordika Night
5.0
I gotta be honest. My very first thought when finishing this book was, "What the actual fuck did I just read?" But in a good way!
Maddox, Devon, and their respective meddling older brothers Xavi and Nate are all stuck in Garron Park under pretty similar circumstances. They have evil dads who steal their money and are left to care for their mothers. While Nate and Xavi are besties, Devon and Maddox have been pitted against each other since they were 10. They're addicted to making the other's life a living hell. Until one day, someone needs saving, and everything changes.
This was such an interesting take on enimies-to-lovers. More like rivals-to-rivals-who-also-bang-and-love-each-other-but-are-too-stubborn-to-say-it. Here's what I loved; the passion. All of my favorite romance books have one thing in common and it's passionate main characters. It doesn't have to be lovey-dovey swoon worthy declarations of love (which I am ALSO a massive fan of). Just something that makes the characters jump off the page and feel alive. And Maddox and Devon had that in spades! It takes a lot for a book to hook me, but Nordika Night got me with the very first scene. The fighting never stopped. There was no big freak out over being bi. And the characters aren't necessarily trying to escape into the great big world away from their trailer park. I just found it all to be quite refreshing and unique. If I didn't know more books were coming (Lot 62 is out in just a few days!) I would be writing letters and signing petitions for more. So good. 5/5 stars because duh.
