Synopsis:
From the New Adult sensation and New York Times bestselling author of Until You
Madoc and Fallon. Two estranged teenagers playing games that push the boundaries between love and war…
She's back.
For the three years she's been away at boarding school, there was no word from her. Back when we lived in the same house, she used to cut me down during the day and then leave her door open for me at night.
I was stupid then, but now I'm ready to beat her at her own game…
I'm back.
Three years and I can tell he still wants me, even if he acts like he's better than me.
But I won't be scared away. Or pushed down. I'll call his bluff and fight back. That's what he wants, right? As long as I keep my guard up, he'll never know how much he affects me….
4.5 stars!
Another one for the win!!! What had me really excited and itching to read RIVAL was the premise of step-siblings falling in love. Of course, knowing that it's Madoc's book was a huge factor as well. I really liked him in BULLY even if he was a first-rate jerk at the beginning. Then again, Jared was too... LOL, but back to the point. Madoc gave readers the impression of a happy-go-lucky, mischievous guy who is incredibly loyal to the people he considers family. His banter with Tate and Jared was fun to read, so I was looking forward to more of that in RIVAL.
