synopsis 2.0

They say that life is a beautiful lie and death a painful truth. They’re right. No one has ever made me feel more alive than the guy who serves as a constant reminder that my clock is ticking.

He is my forbidden, shiny apple. The striking fallacy to my blunt, raw, truth. He is also my sister’s ex-boyfriend. One thing you should know before you judge me; I saw him first. I craved him first. I loved him first.

Eleven years later, he waltzes into my life, demanding a second chance. Dean Cole wants to be my bronze horseman. But my clock is ticking. See, I’m not like the rest. I have an illness. Sometimes I conquer it. Sometimes it conquers me.

My white knight has finally arrived. Hopefully, he isn’t too late

review 2.0

Ok not going to lie, after Vicious I had super high expectations for Ruckus. But to be totally honest the first half of the book Dean was not my cup of tea.

I’m not too sure what it was exactly but something about him just didn’t made me feel fond of him. Maybe it was all of the rehashing of last events between him and Emilia but it took like the last half of the book to feel like I connected/got him. When we finally get to see more of who Dean Cole actually is.

And yes even though I didn’t like him at first he did grow on me. Especially with how caring for Rosie he was. That poor girl literally deserves it all. She was so caring and sweet, she deserved so much better than what life threw at her. Thankfully Dean was there to do all the right things by her. I was happy they both found and fought for each other! Overall I did enjoy this one and I cannot wait to start Trents book next.

My Rating: 4/5 Stars
