Laura Pavlov promises and delivers with this unputdownable story! This is the first book I have read by her, but it won’t be the last.
It has romance with just the perfect amount of cheesiness, family drama, wholesome friendships, and so much more.
What is it about?
“I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks.
She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious.
We couldn’t be more different.
Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association.
I despised her before I even knew her.
It was easier that way.
But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned.
I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried.
She was beautiful and honest and sweet.
Everything I knew I shouldn’t want.
Shouldn’t need.
They say there’s a fine line between love and hate—and I don’t know when I crossed over.
I was so wrapped up in this girl I couldn’t see straight.
She was the right hook I never saw coming.
Hating her was supposed to be my end game.
Loving her… well, that was just the beginning.
But the secrets that lived between us threatened to tear us apart.
Lucky for her—I was a born fighter.
And she was definitely worth the fight.“
Demi, our FMC, is “Magnolia Falls royalty”, but she’s not the pampered princess people may think she is. She’s finally back in town and has worked hard to open her own coffee shop. I really liked Demi. She’s strong and soft at the same time. She’s sure of what she wants and pursues it.
Romeo, our MMC, was a joy to read. For a while, I thought he was going to be the epitome of clichés, but no. Yes, of course, there are clichés, but they’re good. He has the biggest heart.
I absolutely adored reading Demi & Romeo’s story. It was so cute and fun. It was the best start of a new series. I’m dying to read the rest of this brotherhood’s stories. I’m already itching to read book two, River’s story!
Thank you so much to Laura Pavlov and Valentine PR for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
So, are you ready to fall in love with this series?
love, Lin
