Betting You (Lionheart Academy #1)


Here's T Ashleigh's "Betting You." It's the first novel in the Lionheart Academy series.

["Hudson:
I don't have repeats, I don’t do feelings, and I definitely don’t make commitments.
If you come to me expecting your knight in shining armor, be prepared for disappointment.
It’s my senior year, and I want to enjoy my last bit of freedom before following the path my father has mapped out for me.
Well, that was the plan until Ryan showed up and ruined everything.
Fun.
That's all it was supposed to be, a game—just a way to mess with the new kid.
Except, what started as a game quickly turned into me catching feelings.
And what’s worse, he may never forgive me once he finds out.

Ryan:
This year has been chock-full of bad moments and even worse decisions.
The first was when my mom told me she was getting married again.
The second was being shipped off to a boarding school in the middle of nowhere.
The third was thinking I could trust the fuckboys of Lionheart Academy.But the worst of them all was the fourth.
I should have known better. I should have listened to my gut.
Rich boys don’t have hearts.
And Hudson Reginn is no exception."]

What's better than an enemies to lovers? A classic 90s rom-com "I was a bet" plot. Where I cringe and cry. Where we get the anger and the apologies. Where we get the sweetness and the steam. 

It was all so...almost easy. Their feelings for each other were there and undeniable. But their brains got in the way of their hearts for a while there. Ryan knew he shouldn't let this fuckboy into his heart; Hudson knew he shouldn't be having this Feelings with the bet going on. Too bad their hearts won out in this one.

Plus all of the other couples?! Yesss please. 

Trigger Warnings: child neglect, depression, depressive thoughts, anxiety, mental illness, and more.

Psychopath (Behind Bars #2)

Continuing on a dark romance kick...and oddly enough a TBR/Beat-The-Backlog kick (and ignoring my ARCs kick). Here's Louise Collins'...
