My rating: 4 of 5 stars


4 Stars!


I knew I was going to like this story when I met Mathias in, Last To Know. I mentioned in my last review of book 1 that he was broody, and he's still so broody, but boy is he H.O.T!! I guess when you're as hot as he is, it's ok to always have an attitude, or drop the "F" bomb in every sentence!

Even though Mathias likes to act like he has no heart, he probably has the biggest of hearts, but he has so many walls up that he doesn't let anyone in. Mathias hasn't had the easiest life growing up. He has been through a lot with his biological parents, causing him to shut down and constantly push people away. Now, he's living the dream he has always wanted while still guarding his heart.

When Mathias was in high school struggling with his reality, there was one person he slowly let in...Remy. Mathias and Remy were perfect together. Remy never bowed down to the attitude that Mathias always had, and she never let him walk all over her the way most people did. Remy understood Mathias the way no one else did, and she took the time to break down his walls. Then, everything changed when Remy's family had to relocate due to her dad getting transferred for work. When Remy told Mathias she had to leave, he didn't take it very well. Mathias was used to everyone always leaving him, so he didn't know why he thought Remy was any different. Hurtful things were said and now 7 years later....Remy's back.

It has been 7 years since Mathias has seen Remy, but that didn't change the feelings he's always had for her. As well as Remy. When Remy and Mathias see each other after being apart for so long, words are lashed out and then sparks are flying. The chemistry that Mathias and Remy has always had is just as strong if not stronger. The saying..."The heart grows fonder with distance." is true when it comes to them. Their relationship starts off pretty quickly. Its seems that they picked up right where they left off. They seem to feed off each other when it comes to attitudes! Remy is just as feisty as he is an asshole, but together they work.

In their relationship they obviously have their issues, but there were so many moments that Mathias showed his true heart. Which, pretty much always brought me to tears. I knew that deep down Mathias had a big heart, and I loved seeing that Remy was once again able to barrel through his walls and brought it out of him.

I'm really enjoying this series and so far it seems to be getting better with each book. I'm looking forward to reading Sadie's story. She was a crack up in book 1. I missed her in book 2, so now it's time to get up close and personal in book 3!!
