Publisher Description
“Some boys can get rough, some don’t always listen when you tell them to stop, and some boys, they’re just monsters. You gotta be careful who you play with…” ~ Jax Declan
I’m a tease, always have been. In my teens, Jax Declan tried to warn me about staying away from the bad boys. The only boy I ever wanted was Jax. But, no matter how much I tried to play with him, he rejected me.
I haven’t seen Jax Declan in years. A couple friends and I are going back to the Bayou for the summer. A little older now, and a bit wiser, I’ve decided that I’m going to find my teenage crush and I’m going to break him. This summer Jax Declan will play with me.
But the closer I get and the more I learn about the reserved, discreet, and sexy Jax Declan. Well, I’m starting to think that Jax Declan might just be one of those bad boys he tried to warn me about all those years ago.
Customer Reviews
Decent story
Wish the it wasn’t so cheesy though. Emmie can be annoying a bit, and Jax sounds like a dumb brute sometimes. I wanted to relate to the characters, but couldn’t. Won’t be reading the books.
Grammar disappointment
The story idea wasn’t terrible, but so many incorrect word choices left me grinding my teeth. I don’t mean an adjective I don’t personally care for was used; I mean a word that literally doesn’t mean what the author thought it meant is used. For example, the author says her face “crippled” when “crumpled” would have been the correct option. I can only take so many wrong-by-definition mistakes before it kills the book for me. And the plot seemed a little forced, as if the story requires the character to make a choice that is completely nonsensical, and then spends the rest of the chapter trying to justify it without much success. It could have been a cute book, but whoever edited this should have caught all these mistakes that totally derail the story.
Good book
I liked the book and the characters. Even with the other brothers drawing me into their stories but I didn't like how it ended. There was still a lot I would of liked to know. I'm going to keep on reading the series.
