The Book Junkie: Rival-- Penelope Douglas!!

Rival-- Penelope Douglas!!

Holy hotness and angst Batman!! Rival has it in loads!! Simply awesome!! At this point, Maddoc is my new man in the Fall Away series, even though I think it's gonna be Jax before too much longer!! I find myself saying, Jared who?? ;)

Maddoc and Fallon are to die for- just simply wonderful. The fact that their story has a past (much like Tate and Jared's) is great- I really loved getting the glimpse into their start. I know that a while back, Penelope had mentioned that there would be high school and college scenes, and at first, I think some people wondered how that all would work- but it was fabulous. A great transition from their teenage lust/ angst/ confusion, into their adult love and life together. And talk about hot!! Maddoc makes Jared look like a choir boy!! I was drooling for him!

But above all, what I loved the most- the fact that Maddoc allows no one, and I mean NO ONE to take Fallon from him again. He is willing to risk it all to ensure that they get their HEA, and that their love survives the test of time. It is freaking awesome!!

Of course, we get plenty of Tate and Jared, and even Jax (which, I'm telling you- is gonna be the best story yet), and even some KC and Liam. There is also quite a bit of "Wait, what??" reaction to some scenes and of course, as Penelope hints- the gang gets to come together for a big thing. :)

Happy dances were had all around from this girl- I just can't tell you how much I loved this story. I highly recommend it and am giving it 5 huge stars!!

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….
