With Madoc, a dynamic hero and Fallon, a strong heroine I could not help but enjoy this book.Rival (Fall Away, #2) by Penelope Douglasįrom the New Adult sensation and New York Times bestselling author of Until YouMadoc and Fallon. I told you before to lock the door if you wanted me to stay out. And I have to mention the steamy scenes in this book was so HOT AND SENSUAL BUT ALSO TENDER AND SWEET (CAN YOU FEEL THE INTESITY? I’M EVEN IN CAPS). They went from fighting to wanting to rip each other’s clothes. The banter between these two was amusing. Madoc and Fallon are step-siblings (intriguing right?) who love to hate each other but could not fight their attraction with one another. It hurt, and it was an uphill climb back to sanity, but you came back stronger, fiercer, and more solid than you were before.” I couldn’t be prouder but at the same time I just want to hug and protect her. What can I say I love me some tough girl! She has been through a lot in life and it made her strong. You know why? Because I don’t try kill your demons.

The truth is, you want me like nobody’s business.

“You act like you have no heart, like you just swallow your conscience with all of the pain you cause. He is sexy, sensitive and did I mention sexy? We met him in the previous book so when I learned this is about him I was so happy because he is such an interesting character! You think I can’t rise to the occasion in this game? I had doubts about this type of plot but it was unwarranted because it has the perfect mix of grit and angst and if there is one thing that Penelope is great at it is she has a wickedly sensual talent of making the reader fall straight in love with her story telling. Penelope has a way of writing a very engaging story of love-hate relationship. It was beautiful, heart wrenching, and yes I swooned and cried. I have been a fan of her since I read Bully, the first book of the series and she never disappoints! This book was so goooooood! Seriously, I loved it so much. Rival is book two of the Fall Away series by Penelope Douglas. That’s what he wants, right? As long as I keep my guard up, he’ll never know how much he affects me… Two years and I can tell he still wants me, even if he acts like he’s better than me. I was stupid then, but now I’m ready to beat her at her own game… 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. Two estranged teenagers playing games that push the boundaries between love and war…įor the two years she’s been away at boarding school, there was no word from her.
