“My heart feels complete and without her,  I have no doubt I’d go back to being the heartless monster I used to be.” 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This angsty  bully romance had me in a chokehold. We all love the angry bad boy football player who is  king of the school and falls for the feisty nerdy girl.  This book has all the angst and I ate it up. 

One night changed the course of Rome Cromwell’s life. “I owe you” were the last words he heard from her.  He saved her, but ended up losing it all. Elodie never knew who her knight in shining armor was, until she moved into the town she once visited. Now, she has a step brother who hates her and her knight turns into her nightmare.  

Elodie is the type of girl who likes to study for fun. She’s also feisty, strong willed and stands up for herself.  Rome on the other hand is the type to uncover all of your secrets and manipulate you to do his bidding.  Don’t fuck with Rome Cromwell,he can be heartless and cruel, which makes him even more intriguing when his walls start to crumble. The chemistry and attraction Rome and Elodie had was hot.  I always love when the good girl tames the monster in the bad boy.  This book had it all. I’m excited for the next book. The breadcrumbs have me intrigued. 

Tropes:  sports romance, football, step siblings, bully, dark, virgin, enemies to lovers, forced proximity , revenge , boy obsessed

Thank you so much Rachel for the arc 🤌🏼 ❤️
