The Words: An Enemies-to-Lovers Standalone Romance

Product Information

Their relationship felt toxic for the most part of this book and solely based on sexual attraction, Lennon constantly thinking about what an amazing performed Phoenix is and always comparing him to the sun (at nauseam). The first part of the book focuses on the last few months of high-school and then there's a 4 year time jump to present day.

The Words: An Enemies-to-Lovers Standalone Romance: Jade

I didn't particularly like either character but at least Phoenix stayed true to himself and managed to redeem his actions by the end. Can't say the same for Lennon who was indecisive all the time. Her hot / cold attitude was frustrating. She had a real issue with Phoenix but she'd put it aside all the time cause the sex was great or he was in pain and she was the only one who could understand and support him. But every now and again she would remember why she was upset and fight with him again. Mercy Wheeler and Gabriel Easton’s sordid tale ends in Fallen Empire as Gabriel must save Mercy and escape his father’s grip once and for all. I simply cannot read about pathetic heroines. It is not a good influence on me, my mental health, and does not make me feel good. All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate.This book was good, but I wasn't in love with it. I feel there was something missing, about the characters and plot. Too much cliche tropes and plot. I also didn't like how (he was with so many other women while separated) majority of the book, with how he was selfish and treated the heroine. But, in the end he was able to redeem his character, (at least about the stealing) and both of them grew to be better people. Even though the book was long, but it was still very engaging until the end. I devoured this book and enjoyed every sizzling sexy detail. It's dark and gritty with a touch of suspense blended with erotic sex and delicious angst." New York Times Bestselling author, Tabatha Vargo. The next point is still connected to the OW/OM drama, during the beginning of the tour when Lennon and Phoenix can’t stand each other, there was a lot of push and pull between them. They did so things just to spite each other and while I could understand it from Lennon point, I was just annoyed at Phoenix, cause he was already at the top of my hit-list. But that’s just a personal pet peeve of mine. ngl, the first 20% had me hooked. i loved the angst and the tension between phoenix and lennon. he was such an asshole that it only got me more excited to see how they'd eventually get together. she has to tutor him which is how they end up spending so much together. we also learn that phoenix has dyslexia, and lennon, my queen, goes out of her way to help him🤧 And then when they meet up again after 4 years... well that scene was upsetting. I almost stopped reading. You're probably thinking I was upset about the orgy taking place, but that wasn't it. My issue is that he doesn't recognize her. Yes, he's totally blitzed, but it's only been 2 years since he's seen her last, and she's supposedly the love of his life. And he has no clue who she is? And I'm supposed to believe this is some epic love story? The scene would have been 100xs better if he had recognized her immediately and been mortified that THIS girl has walked into that scene of debauchery. Instead, she's just some random and he propositions her like any skank at a party. It was disappointing. 😐 #womp-womp

now, as for the present.. i could very well sum it up with a clown emoji and call it a day, because that's how i felt reading it. it was a SHIT SHOW for sure, but i enjoyed the hell out of it and ignored every possible red flag 🤠Let me tell you those last 20% of the book hit HARD, I’m not sure I’m over it yet and it’s been days. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions. he relentlessly pursues her once they get all of their initial shit out of the way (took a while but it was hella fun), and i respected how transparent he was? he was the one putting his heart on the line, opening himself up to a lot of pain Lennon could potentially inflict on him... and i suppose she does bcos she holds him at arms length for so long it breaks him bit by bit... and again, i lived for that shit ahaha. seeing him in pain added an extra ten years onto my life span for sure.
