Synopsis

She needs me, because she needs money.

I don’t need her. Just her complete submission…

Maybell Jacobs is the Wallflower: quiet, shy, socially awkward and hell-bent on hiding even from herself, that is until a chance encounter takes place between us.

Instantly she hates me and for good reason. I'm a walking-red-flag. Filthy rich jock, short tempered, and violent.

I can have anyone and anything I want.. except her.

Little does she know her disgust, anger, and hate for me fuels my obsession to own her, completely in every single way.

Maybell resists, predictably... but her fight only makes her more desirable and I have plans that will lead her right into my lap and never want to leave.

When she joins the sinful tradition put on by the elite of the town, the Hunt, I’m shocked. The pretty little thing has no idea how much danger she’s in if she decides to become my prey.

Sweet, innocent, and fragile like a flower. I'll have to be careful or risk breaking her.

Because I’m the ultimate predator and when I play there are no rules.

I don’t chase. I capture.

And I like to own my bait.

My Review

❀ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑 ❀

Is the first full length enemies to lovers romance book within the (Oakmout Elite) duet by author J.L. Beck. Spoken in 'dual perspectives.

❥ Maybell & Drew ❥

Due to an altercation she witnessed in the library between him and another boy she's now on his radar. And he takes no prisoners!! A game that dates back centuries has her taking part to hopefully win the cash so that she can afford to take care of her ailing mother. This game is dark, wicked and will push boundaries.

One thing you can trust in this author is her ability to give us those unique angsty twisty reads, and this book was no different.

This was like the calm before the storm, lulled into a false sense of security before your thrown into utter chaos.

So many twists and turns, foot tapping, nail biting moments, a roller coaster of love, hate, anger, like a yo-yo my feelings were catapulted into utter disbelief with the plot twist upon plot twists.

Here I sit, trying to think of something nice to say about this guy, and nope nothing 🤷‍♀️ he was a puppet on a string obeying his father's every command only to keep his mother out of the firing line, that was his saving grace, his love for his mother showed me that he can love.

When it came to Maybell god this guy took things to the extreme, obsessive, a walking red flag who should be avoided. But we were warned how we may feel about him because I got no warm fuzzies or swooning moments from this guy and I did not claim him once lol

Maybell was kind of a nerd, scholarship girl, basically had a worn track from her dorm room to the library, she rarely frequented anywhere else. Being the only sibling with an ailing mother and as far as she knew a deceased father she took on extra tutoring jobs to pay for her mothers medication and basic needs. She was so relatable, even though she was book smart she kind of held her own, but up against Drew she had no chance. He was a tornado intent on striking her down and making her his.

The anticipation and waiting game until the next book will be my undoing!
