We also have some Second-Chance Enemies-to-Lovers sprinkled in.<\/p>\n Lou-Lou and her childhood best friends (twins Jagger and Jameson , Leo and Ezra) succumb one night after years of sexual tension and come together to take her virginity. She then disappears out of their lives for without a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n Three years later, Lou-Lou turns up on their doorstep to start a new life at their university. Only they are not the boys she left behind — they have grown up, are secretive and they are not happy to see Luella at all, convinced she ran out on them and moved on.<\/p>\n Luella is a take no shit kind of girl, and I love a FMC who can hold her own, but she knows it, reminding us very frequently she’s a badass bitch. I liked the addition of Ezra and Jagger’s relationship, Ezra keeping himself untouched by other girls after he lost Lou-Lou. The scene with the four of them on the porch was hopefully indicative of the story to come. We get a huge reveal at the end of book one, and while I wasn’t quite there on four stars for this one, I’m looking forward to seeing which direction the series takes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/4457454479″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Read on Goodreads” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Goodreads” _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#df8589″ button_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” button_border_width=”1px” button_border_color=”rgba(223,133,137,0.65)” button_border_radius=”0px” button_icon=”%%127%%” custom_margin=”30px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] None found<\/p>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
