#BookReview: Rival (Fall Away #2) by Penelope Douglas






Synopsis: From the New Adult sensation and New York Times bestselling author of Until You

Madoc and Fallon. Two estranged teenagers playing games that push the boundaries between love and war…

She’s back.

For the two years she’s been away at boarding school, there was no word from her. 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.

I was stupid then, but now I’m ready to beat her at her own game…

I’m back.

Two years and I can tell he still wants me, even if he acts like he’s better than me.

But I won’t be scared away. Or pushed down. I’ll call his bluff and fight back. That’s what he wants, right? As long as I keep my guard up, he’ll never know how much he affects me….

Rating: 2 Stars
My Review: This book was overly done with spice. I loved book one but this one was just ruined.  I don't mind sexy books but it has to make sense and it can't over power the story.  And this one just did. 











Review

Praise for Rival

“As gripping as it was sexy! Witty dialogue, great chemistry and a great plot make 
Rival a book you don't want to end.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover

“A gritty, racy new adult tale peppered with raw emotions. This smoking-hot, action-packed story is a powerful addition to the edgy side of the genre, and readers will eagerly anticipate the next installment.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Bully, the first book in Douglas’ new adult romance Fall Away series, was a self-published sensation, and Rival, the latest installment, is bound to capture even more readers with its intensely emotional writing, angst-driven plot, and abundance of steamy sex scenes.”Booklist
