Description
Two estranged teenagers play games that push the boundaries between love and war....
For the two years she was away at boarding school, Madoc had no word from Fallon. Back when they lived in the same house, she used to cut him down during the day and then leave her door open for him at night. Now he's ready to beat her at her own game....
Fallon can tell that Madoc still wants her, even if he acts like he's better than her. But she won't be scared away. Or pushed down. She'll call his bluff and fight back. That's what he wants right?
As long as she keeps her guard up, he'll never know how much he affects her....

⤷‧₊˚ 5 ⭑ “you’ve always wanted me. you know why? because i don’t try to kill your demons. i run with them.” when i hate one trope more than anything it’s the step sibling trope but they’re my exception. i love fallon & madoc so much. they’re one of my absolute favorite couples. no matter how many books i read they’re always on the back of my mind to remind me it’s hard to choose a couple over them.

Interesting plot, exciting storyline and the characters? Chefs Kiss. Penelope Douglas just knows how to write and make readers fall in love the protagonists! I like Madoc and Fallon way more than Jared and Tate! The differences between the two and how they act together works really well! What didn't work for me unfortunately:The "forbidden part" has already happened and it was actually more about the consequences of that. It also bothered me a bit that the first half of the book was thematically like Tate and Jared's books. Don‘t get me wrong, i love a good Enemy to Lover Story, but that "I hate you but I love you" was too similar for me. I thought the "forbidden" part would take center stage, but it seemed more like an echo. I really liked the book, but for me the story still has a lot of room for improvement.
