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….
Madoc and Fallon Reunite
“This is my father’s house.” I spoke low and
straightened my back. “And someday all this shit will be mine, Fallon. That bed
you sleep in, along with everything else under this roof.”
“Not me, Madoc. You don’t own me.”
“Yeah.” I brushed her off. “Been there. Done
that. Got the T-shirt. Thanks.”
“Get out,” she ordered, her tone hard.
I took another sip of my beer. “The thing is
Fallon…I told you before to lock the door if you wanted me to stay out. Funny
thing is…” I leaned in. “You. Never. Did.”
In one swift movement she whipped off her covers
and stood up on the bed. Charging to the end, she slapped me across the face
before I even knew what was happening.
I almost laughed. Hell, yeah.
My body stayed in place, but my head had twisted
to the side with the blow, and I closed my eyes out of reflex. The sting
started as a few little needles under the surface but exploded and spread like
electricity. I kept my eyes shut for a
few seconds longer than necessary, savoring the rush.
With the bed elevating her, she stood about six
inches higher than me, and I turned my head back to her slowly, welcoming
whatever she had.
She scowled down at me. “I was sixteen years old
and too stupid to keep you off me,” she spat. “Little did I know that they have
toothbrushes bigger than you. And I’ve definitely had better than you in the
past two years, so count on the door being locked from now on.”
My Review:
I love Penelope's writing, such a way with words! This book had A LOT of hot steamy scenes, and I mean A LOT! It is a good read, but very easy read not to much of a developing story but still a good read.

Bio:
Penelope Douglas is a writer in
Las Vegas. Born in Dubuque, Iowa, she is the oldest of five children. Penelope
attended the University of Northern Iowa, earning a Bachelor's degree in Public
Administration, because her father told her to "just get the degree!"
She then earned a Masters of Science in Education at Loyola University in New
Orleans, because she hated Public Administration. One night, she got tipsy and
told the bouncer at the bar where she worked that his son was hot, and three
years later they were married. To the son, not the bouncer. They have spawn,
but just one. A daughter named Aydan. Penelope loves sweets, The Originals, and
she shops at Target almost daily.
