Rival had everything, and I mean every-freaking-thing, I love in my books.

It had me feeling anger, hate, love, lust, passion, irritation, and so much more, in the most intense degrees possible. Rival was one of those novels that pulled out the most intense emotions in me. Rival by Penelope Douglas is definitely one of my favorite novels of this year!! When I read Bully, the first novel in this series, I remember falling madly and deeply in love with all the characters Penelope created, her writing, her wit, pretty much everything about it, and Rival did not disappoint one bit!! I’m already ready for a re-read, but since I haven’t read Bully in such a long time and this book reminded me of my love for Jared and Tate, their story is already waiting for me on my Kindle. That’s what he wants, right? As long as I keep my guard up, he’ll never know how much he affects me…. Two years and I can tell he still wants me, even if he acts like he’s better than me.īut I won’t be scared away. I was stupid then, but now I’m ready to beat her at her own game… Back when we lived in the same house, she used to cut me down during the day and then leave her door open for me at night. Two estranged teenagers playing games that push the boundaries between love and war…įor the two years she’s been away at boarding school, there was no word from her.
