Rival (Fall Away #2)

Madoc and Fallon. Two estranged teenagers playing games that push the boundaries between love and war…

She’s back.

For the two 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.

Two 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… 

- For me, Rival is very hard to review. I felt like I should give it 5 stars because come on, the prologue slays! 

At first, I really don't know what to feel. A love story between siblings should make me uncomfortable or something but Ms. Douglas has a way of making me feel hot and bothered. Seriously, I felt like the flashbacks are even hotter than the present. 

DISLIKE: hmmmm. I think the secrets... There were a lot of them and I was hoping that they would be revealed in a very you know, explosive way... I just felt disappointed with the way we found out about them, ... Too easy... Despite the secrets, we also have the dramas. I'd like to blame the parents for all of these misunderstandings, my feelings just spilled all over the plate. Their story is turning into a soap opera without me realizing it. I also dislike Madoc's idea of moving on. It pissed me off that everytime Fallon ran (another thing I dislike here), he enters relationships with random girls. I don't care if it's serious or not, I'm mad that he can't keep his dick in his pants even though he loves Fallon. I hate reading that he fucks a lot of girls while thinking of her. Also, Fallon makes me want to bang my head on the wall a lot of times. She has too many mood swings, I just can't keep up. It feels like I don't know who the real characters are even though I'm reading their book. PS: I hate Fallon's mother! Slut!

LOVE: I love the tension and the chemistry between the two. Like I said, I love that Ms. D could deliver their relationship without me cringing. Jared and Tate are awesome here too. Lucas made me smile. What can I say, he's cute! Honestly, may average rating here is 3.5 but one guy made me change my mind. 




JAX!!! Can you hear me screaming? He appeared for like 4 or 5 times but he stole the whole book. This guy has a lot of potential and I'm really, really, looking forward for his book!!! SQUEEEE> 

Good job on him, Ms. D!
