BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Robin used to be a party girl… until she got black out drunk and woke up in bed with her best friend’s boyfriend. Now she’s faced with being THAT girl, and couldn’t be more disgusted with herself. She can’t even tell her friends the reason for her sudden sobriety and she avoids everyone until she meets Phoenix—quiet, tattooed, and different in every way that’s good and oh, so bad…
Phoenix is two days out of jail when he meets Robin at his cousin’s house, and he knows that he has no business talking to her, but he’s drawn to her quiet demeanor, sweet smile, and artistic talent. She doesn’t care that he’s done time, or that he only has five bucks to his name, and she supports his goal to be a tattoo artist.
But Phoenix knows Robin has a secret, and that it’s a naïve dream to believe that his record won’t catch up with them at some point. Though neither is prepared for the explosive result when the past collides with the present…
REVIEW:
I think that I have come to the conclusion that New Adult is just not for me. I don’t feel any connection with the characters and that makes it really hard to read the book. I did like that Robin finally owned up to the things that she did and that she is trying to make a better herself better. But I guess it is the mom in me that thinks the whole time “well if you didn’t put yourself in that situation in the first place you would have these issues”. But then again if the character didn’t have all of this drama then there would be no story. I think fans of this series will enjoy Robin & Phoenix’s story. But for me I think that I am going to have to hang up my hat on this series.
