In this gritty, contemporary
romance, an injured star athlete escapes to a small southern town after an
abusive relationship leaves her reeling.
Before, Peyton was a star soccer
player with the perfect boyfriend, Reed. Now, she has a torn knee ligament, a
scholarship on the line, and a shattered sense of self. No one believes Reed
pushed her, causing her injury, and Peyton just wants to leave the trauma
behind. Living with her uncle and twin cousins in their small,
football-obsessed town seems like a great escape plan.
There, Peyton meets Owen—high
school classmate and local MMA fighter. Though Owen is charming and gentle,
Peyton is determined to repress her growing attraction. But when her old and
new life collide, Peyton must reclaim the truth of her past in order to save
her future.
With southern charm, underground
martial arts, and red-hot chemistry, Kami Garcia’s second contemporary romance
will steal your breath away.
My Thoughts
I haven’t read Kami Garcia’s other YA contemporary romance
book yet, but this one sounds good. It has an MMA fighter in it. I love when
there are MMA fighters in contemporary romance books. That trope reminds me a
little of Jamie McGuire’s Beautiful
Disaster, only in YA form. I liked that book, so let’s hope this one is
good too.
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
This one is new to me. I did enjoy her Legion series so I would consider this one.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE her Legion series. I wish she'd write another book, but it's probably not going to happen. :(
