BLURB:

Everything was perfect.

Until it wasn't.

Until my family took on a foster girl and placed her across the hall from me. A charity case to look good and a person who should have never existed in my world.

I kissed her to get her to stop talking, and then I kissed her again because I liked the taste of her words--I liked her.

It was our secret until we got caught--that night changed everything.

We became strangers living in the same house, seeing the same ghosts of our past mistakes, but I can't stop thinking about us, about those forbidden moments.

I pretend to hate her, I tell her I'll never forgive her, and then Quinn, my ex-best friend, steps into the picture. I can't tell if he actually likes her or if he has a death wish and just likes pissing me off, but what do I say? Stay away from my foster sister?

She's mine?

I've already had her?

Saying that to him would expose what we were and ruin everything.

We're all three of us living multiple lies, and eventually, I know our ivory tower of perfection is going to come crashing down.

He knows my secrets.

I know his.

And now she knows both.

She wants.

He wants.

But I always—always get what I want.

And what I want is the girl, no matter what it may cost me.

My Review:

My Rating: 4 Stars

Ambrose has the "perfect" life as captain of the lacrosse team, good looking and rich. That is until his parents took in a foster child Mary-Belle. The two quickly became more until they get caught and then everything changed. Now they have to deal with their new normal. Ambrose pretends to hate her until his ex best friend Quinn starts hanging around her, then Ambrose has to decide if he wants to keep playing this game as all of their secrets come out.

I really enjoyed this story, however there was a few things that felt rushed or under developed. I will say I liked reading about the forbidden relationship between Ambrose and Mary-Belle. I liked how Mary-Belle didn't back down and stood up for herself. She counted on herself and tried her best to be the best version of herself. She wanted to protect those she cared about. Ambrose went through a lot in his life, but learned he had to be true to himself. There is definitely angst, suspense and spice. One of the things I love about Rachel is that she doesn't back down from tough subjects and she puts in trigger warning if you need them. I also love that she adds resources to help.
