Bitter Sweet Love by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0
“Nothing in this world is stronger than love. It should always be enough. No matter what.”
This. Book.
*takes deep breath* was incredible!!!
We start off by meeting Jasmine, or Jas, or heroine. Jasmine is a gargoyle Warden. Yes, you read that correctly. Gargoyle. Jasmine is tired of living her life like a bird trapped in a cage and she hasn't been the same since her best friend/crush, Dez, left 3 years prior to the story. So how does Jasmine react to Dez coming back?
So, Jasmine acts like anyone else would. Her emotions are all over the place. But now not only is Dez back but he's claiming her. In the gargoyle world a male claims a female, pretty much asking her to spend the rest of her life with him. Jasmine has seven days to reply to Dez whether she's in or out. But with conflicting emotions of anger and love, Jas decides to make her seven days worthwhile. She makes a deal with Dez that she will think of his request if he takes her to fulfill some of her conditions; such as him taking her to New York, learning to drive, and even skinny dipping. And as the synopsis says Dez has seven days to win her heart or shatter it all over again.
Words cannot express how much I adored this book. This is the prequel to White Hot Kiss that comes out in 2014. Our main characters are incredible as well. Jasmine is a head-strong character that longs for freedom. She's adventurous and independent but does not wear her heart on her sleeve. In fact she has kept it protected so it won't be shattered again. And then we have Dez. 'Please excuse me while I swoon' *ahem* Anyways, Dez was an awesome love interest that has his own secrets. He won't tell Jasmine why he left but he never stops showing her how much he loves her and how he never stopped loving her. He was just amazing. We also got a sneak peak at our main characters from White Hot Kiss, and let me tell ya, they're interesting.
All in all this was a great prequel that has got me pumped up for the main story. It's also a unique and interesting concept that only JLA gives justice to. Also, JLA has confirmed that Jasmine and Dez will be making appearances in the White Hot Kiss trilogy so that makes me a happy camper. If you want to read a new series that's different and bound to make you hooked read Bitter Sweet Love. (Or all of Jennifer's other series since, you know, they're just as addicting.)
