Here's Hayden Hall's "Flirting With Fire." It's the first novel in his new Saints of Westmont U series.
["He was my first sin. My first love. And he’s about to ruin me all over again.
Easton
Some men ruin you slowly. Others break you all at once.
Jace was never supposed to be in my life again. Not after what he did. Not after they took him away.
But he’s here, standing in my doorway with a smirk that makes my pulse trip and my gut clench.
He needs a place to stay. I should slam the door in his face.
Instead, I let him in.
Enemies. Exiles. Rivals. Lovers?
This isn’t a love story. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
And I can’t wait for the impact.
Jace
He wants me gone. I want him begging. Let’s see who wins.
Easton never knew what to do with me.
He wanted to fight me. He wanted to kiss me.
Now that I’m back, he’s still pretending he can resist.
Cute.
But I know him too well. I know the way his breathing changes when I get close.
I know how his body reacts before his brain can catch up.
I know exactly how to break him.
And I will."]
Wow. Just wow.
There was so much love and sooo much hate in this book. It was a precarious line that these two danced along. And that was before the finally succumbed to the inevitable chemistry between them. Their history, their traumas, tries to define them even after they thought they had moved in from them. But the past can’t be locked in a closet and forgotten about. Their past forced them to look at it, talk about it, and think about a future with their past as part of them. It was dark and emotional and beautiful.
Not sure how I feel about Kyle being in more of the series though. He seems pretty fucking irredeemable to me. Spoiler alert? :/
