Rival (Fall away series Book Two) By Penelope Douglas

Buy link: Rival

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 . . . 

Oh my God. I absolutely loved this book. I took a gamble with it being 2.99, but my God it was so worth it. I really needed this book in my life right now. I've been having a bad case of one stars lately, so this has made up for all of them. I loved it. 

I still haven't read Until you, the second novel in the fall away series because of it been in the same story but in another POV. 

Then I saw this on my recommendation list and knew I had to have it. I liked Madoc, a little, in the last novel BULLY, but I always found his a jerk. I was so glad when I read this novel it had it in his POV as well. 

Fallen is such an unusable name, it had taken me a while to get used to. I really enjoyed her character, and loved the fact she wasn't another perfect character. She had flaws. She wasn't this made up, perfect, goody two shoes. She wore piercings, tattoos, and wore glasses. I really did love her character. 

Then we have Madoc, who every girl at a school would love to get their hands on. He's the boy, girls crush on, wishing they were his girl. That bad boy vibe, rich, cocky, and drop dead gorgeous. Who wouldn't want to be with him? aha 

This book, although kind of the same, is so much steamier than Bully. It was completely hot!!! I was so glad it got spiced up because it made the book better. Although, I did get kind of annoyed towards the end at how many sex scenes there were. I just wanted to read the story plot. 

The story plot was brilliant and well thought out. I couldn't wait to see how it turned out. 

I read the sneaky peak at the next book and I can't wait to read about Jax. I seriously want to know everything about him. He's this tortured soul who you really want to get to know. I felt so sad at the end of this book at what he did. I really wanted someone to ask him, to shout at him for what he did, but it wasn't mentioned :( I just don't like the thought of him forcing himself to do something he didn't want to do, just to make others happy. 

There goes my protective side again!!! 

5* I cannot wait to read the next one.
