"Friends don't kiss Rex.

"They don't, but then again I never agreed to be friends.


Aww…one of my favorite lines also made it in book 2!

I was looking forward to reading this book and finding out how the storyline will continue after reading Bittersweet Revenge. You get most of the history from book 1, and it leaves you with wanting to know what happens between Jenna and Rex. I also found myself wanting to find out what's really going on between Mimi and Corey. Well, Bittersweet Love picks up with all characters starting College. The last time that Jenna has seen Rex was 9 months ago. Although, her love for him has not changed she still is trying to get over the pain he has caused her.

There's no one better to help her get past Rex, then her best friend Mimi. I missed Mimi! Through B.L, Mimi is also going through her own drama with the same old Corey. Only in this story he actually starts to come around and tries not be such an a$$hole. Mimi can't decide what she wants with Corey and feels bad that she is falling for someone who hurt Jenna so much. So she tries to move on and starts to talk to other guys. Only, she can't seem to stop talking crap about the girl Corey is talking to and the real Mimi comes out to tell Jenna exactly how she fills about her......



" The sluts of sluts. Like if I threw my shoe at her, a vortex called her vagina would suck it in. I swear that's the only way to get man. I just sucks them in, and then they're like, what? Where am I? How did I get here?"



HaHaHa! I still love Mimi's mouth!! Never a dual moment with her around. While she is struggling to move on or figure out her true feelings for Corey, she is also hoping that Jenna and Rex can find their way back to each other.

When Jenna first see's Rex, all her feelings come rushing back. She is constantly telling herself to fight against the attraction she has towards him, but it’s so strong and she struggles to let him back in. She knows that she has to get past their past and leave it behind them. So, that's exactly what she tells herself to do. Jenna knows that she wants him in her life, but the only way for that to happen…is to start out as friends once again. When Jenna finally lets Rex back into her life, he is so relieved.....



"I promise you Jenna this time will be different. I will do anything to make this up to you."



As for Rex, Well all I can say is…he is still H.O.T!!! He does everything possible to get what he once shared with Jenna back. He doesn't care who gets in the way, he will knock anyone down that tries to get between them, literally!! I could not believe the fight he gets into for Jenna. Not once did he question her when he had the right to. He is so in love with her that he knows she can never do anything to hurt him. He loves her so much, and I love the way he shows it. Rex tells Jenna he will fight for her and he means it with all his heart.....



"I know we can't be together right now, I know you're hurting, and I plan to make that right. But you're mine, you will forever be mine. I will fight for you till the day I die and I know you feel the same way."



I love when the men in books have that possession in them! It's so hot!

There is another character with some hotness as well…Ryder. All I want to know about Ryder is what's really going on? I'm torn when it comes to his character because I don't know if I like him or if he really is an a$$! At times I feel like he generally is a good guy, but then with some events that take place, I think “what in the hell is he doing?” There are so many unanswered questions about what he is going through. Is he just trying to get revenge? Are his feelings true? Is he just jealous? I just don't know, and I'm really hoping we find out more about what is going on with Ryder in the next book!

As for the ending?? Um.... can we say... Seriously? What is going on now?? It definitely left us readers wanting more!! Looking forward to reading more about Rex and Jenna's relationship. Also, what's really going on with Corey and Mimi and finding out what's behind Ryder's thoughts!!!
