Seventeen-year-old Noah Morgan loves her quiet, normal life in Toronto. But when her mother returns from a cruise unexpectedly married to a billionaire and announces they are moving to L.A., Noah is suddenly shoved out of her comfort zone and into a glittering world of illegal street races, lavish pool parties, and spoiled rich kids. And her new stepbrother Nicholas is the most spoiled of them all. Arrogant, aloof, and viciously attractive, Nick is everything she hates, especially when she learns his bad boy persona isn’t just a façade. She’s spent her life running from danger, and Nick is danger incarnate. Yet neither of them can prevent the powerful attraction that flares between them, enough to turn their worlds upside-down and tempt them beyond all reason. But Noah’s past may be even more dangerous than their forbidden romance. And if he wants her, Nick will have to decide if he’s willing to risk everything.
I gave into the hype and wanted to read a book before the movie. An easy summer read, romance, racing. I didn’t expect much, just an easy book for the time by the lake, and I got what I expected, nothing more. These characters acted like they have rabies. Zero logical thought. I wasn’t really invested in Noah and Nick’s relationship so I wasn’t too worried when things seemed toxic or messy since they were at the end of the day, step-brother and step-sister, which for me, isn’t a problem. I was expecting this book to end on a cliffhanger because there was a lot going on at the very end of the book, but it wrapped up quite quickly. I am intrigued to see what the rest of the trilogy has in store though.
I rated this novel three stars because I did not DNF it. This book is full of stupidly immature angst and unnecessary drama. If you want to constantly ask “why” or “what”, and be mad at the characters for their flaws and poor judgment, you’ll like this book. It’s like a mash up of After, Beautiful Disaster and a 90s daytime soap opera.
