It’s certainly NSFW, unless you run a sex shop. But this book most definitely captured my attention and the only time I looked away was to check over my shoulder every now and again to ensure no one was reading from behind me. I often skip them or read YA to avoid them because they rarely hold my interest. To be honest I think I’ve read so many sex scenes at this point that I’m sort of over them. The sex in this story is absolutely off the charts intense and I think some of the best that I’ve read in a while. Very quickly Ridley learns that some tats and a fauxhawk do not a BAMF make. Then I don’t know what the hell happened but the Bad Ass Mother Fuckery meter just cranked a whole lot higher and this story went from interesting to WTF just happened there? But, I assure you, it was in an absolutely exciting way. The blurb led me to believe that I would be reading a rather standard college story about a tough guy and a cute nerd who have to deal with bullying, and that’s what this book delivered. Well, that’s this book’s secret isn’t it. In fact it seems as though there may be more to Alex than we, and Ridley, first thought. If Kyle wants to be a smartass, Alex can handle it and when Kyle wants to get a bit more physical, well, Alex can handle that too. When hotshot campus bully, Kyle Bouche, decides to make Alex his target Ridley is all set to charge in like the proverbial knight in shining armor but Alex is entirely capable of saving himself.

He has floppy blond curls and totally rocks the gorgeously trendy nerd look. But when he sees someone being bullied he isn’t about to look the other way, especially if that someone is the object of his every fantasy, Alex Firestone.Īlex works as a library assistant at the university Ridley attends. He doesn’t run about in a spandex outfit looking for some vigilante action. Maybe not in the dramatic way I made it sound. As he grew older and bigger he cultivated a BAMF vibe and set himself up as a defender of bully victims everywhere. Ridley Corbin was the protector of the underdog, a role he’d come into as a direct product of his upbringing.īullied for being a rather unfortunate looking runt as a child, Ridley learned quickly how to best deal with bullies. Alex’s past comes calling, and it’s time he becomes top dog.

He keeps to himself, but that doesn’t save him from catching the unwanted attention of the campus bully.

The image serves him well as the self-proclaimed protector of the underdog, and he wants nothing more than to be Alex Firestone’s hero.Īlex, a mild-mannered library assistant, has moved to Slater, a quiet college town, hoping to hide from his past. With his fauxhawk, sleeve tattoos, and visible piercings, Ridley Corbin has the whole bad ass vibe going on in spades.
