The ​Rebel (Looking to Score 1.) 2 csillagozás

Holt

Six ​years ago, Eden barged into my life and turned everything upside down. We spent one scorching-hot night together, and then she disappeared into the sunset with the golden jock everyone adored. Which makes sense, right? A girl as beautiful and brilliant as Eden Wynn doesn’t end up with a rebel like me.

I expected them to live happily ever after, but that's not what happened. She's back in my life—and tempting me like no one else has. And while I'm certain I'll only tarnish her shine, I want her.

I'd heard the old notion that one night held the power to change everything. I just never believed it.

Until now.

Eden

I’m public enemy number one.

Turns out, the East Coast is protective of their hockey team and very vocal about not wanting a young female owner. Well, too bad, because this team is all Grandpa Wynn left me, and I have no intention of walking away.

Enter my new head of security, Holt Rossi. My history… (tovább)

Kendall Ryan: The Rebel

Kendall Ryan kapott tőlem egy újabb bizonyítási esélyt A szobatárs és a The Boyfriend Effect után, de most sem estem hanyatt tőle. Attól függetlenül, hogy Holt Rossi mennyire a szívem csücske lett, a könyv elég átlagos maradt.
Kevesebb volt a hoki, és több az erotika, mint amit vártam. A drámamentesség szinte végig jellemző a történetre, majd olyan pillanatokban jönnek a bukkanók, amikor már nagyon nem kellettek volna. Például ilyen rossz időzítéssel belekeverni egyet, majd lezárni az epilógust egyenesen hülyeség volt, pedig értem én, hogy a második rész felvezetése miatt ez pont hiányzott. De neeem.
Amit imádtam, azok a randevúk voltak. Egyszerű, szívet melengető, alacsony költségvetésű ötletekkel állt elő Holt, viszont rengeteg odafigyeléssel készítette el őket, és gyönyörűen odafigyelt az összes apró részletre. Több szemszöget szerettem volna tőle, mert így talán nem sajnálom a végén a 4 csillagot sem.
Összességében sok dolgot nem érzek a helyén, ismétlődő és furcsa is volt párszor az egész. Nem győzött meg a folytatást illetően.

“I guess I’m saying that you don’t have to do everything yourself. It’s up to the entire organization. The coaching staff. The players. It’s up to the marketing department. Up to the fans to show up. You have to rely on them. If you fail, you fail together.”
A nervous chuckle escapes me. “How comforting.”
“The point is, the only thing you can control is your own actions,” he says, his voice gentle. “Control what you can and let go of what you can’t. Trust your team to do their part.”

Chapter Thirteen

In this moment, I curse my twenty-one-year-old self for ever leaving this man’s bed. Because the way he kisses me—gently, deeply, sweeter than I’ve ever been kissed before—is something I never want to run away from.

“Don’t look now,” my best friend, Gretchen, says with a knowing smirk.

(első mondat)

“I’m sorry.” Mom’s voice cracks. “All I ever wanted was to keep you from getting hurt like I did all those years ago. I’ve seen how those kind of people treat people like us.”
“There’s no such thing as those people, Mom.” My tone softens. “We’re all the same. We all have fears and insecurities and things about ourselves that we want to change. And we all want a shot at love.”

Chapter Twenty-Four

“I know where I’m going. Trust me.”
The airy, tingling sensation in my chest spreads through my body. I do trust him. Maybe more than I should after just a few weeks of having him back in my life.
But everything about him, about us together, sends me positive signals. Even the way he holds my hand, his fingers laced tightly with mine, but with such a gentle touch, like I’m a bird he doesn’t want to fly away. Beneath his rough-and-tumble exterior, Holt Rossi is a gentle giant, and I would follow him just about anywhere.

“I don’t know how I got lucky enough to find you again, Eden.”

Chapter Twenty-Five

Most people have no idea what security guards do. It’s a lot more than just watching for bad guys and talking into walkie-talkies.
Although the walkie-talkies are pretty cool.
