Blurb
Rebels.
Misfits. Bad boys who rule the streets. Everyone’s welcome at the worst kept
secret in town, just as long as you don’t mind getting your reputation—and your
heart—a little dirty.
Welcome to
Patchwork House…
Patchwork
House is a boy’s club—a mean boy’s club. They made an exception for Tweetie
once, and they’re going to make another, because she’s coming home. After two
years away and one too many broken hearts, Tweetie swore off skaters—but she
never expected Flip.
Flip was
the most famous skater in the world until he traded his place at Patchwork with
the little girl whose life he ruined. Now Tweetie’s all grown up, and one
chance encounter brings them together. He knows the right thing to do is
disappear before things get ugly, but he never was very good at being good.
She’s back,
and so is he—all bets are off. Nothing will stop this bad boy from finally
getting his lost girl. They're written in the stars, and it's time she knows
it.
The first
lesson Flip taught Tweetie was how to fall.
It was also
the last thing she remembered when they met again, because she didn’t just fall
for him.
She
slammed.

Excerpt
“I’m so bad for you. If I was a good guy, I’d stop. I’d let
you be happy.”
I didn’t understand any of what he was saying, but the pain
I felt. Deep. In his rocky, strangled voice and his desperate, cracking eyes.
“Whatever it is I’ll understand. If you did something…if
something happened…I’ll understand.”
Tell me. Please.
Let me in.
His stare dug into me, and again I was certain he was
searching for something. I desperately wanted him to find it.
He exhaled, resigned.
“I’m not a good guy. I’m the fucking worst.” He captured my
face in his palms, grip sure and almost painful in its desperation. The way he
looked at me, I was sure he would kiss me. The way I felt, I was certain I
would let him.
But then, with slow and almost agonizing determination, his
lips came to my forehead.
I was frozen. Mute. Struck dumb. Everything stopped working
all I knew was his lips on my skin. Soft and so tender, a complete contrast to
his grip digging into my skull.
He pulled back, pressed his forehead to mine, and looked at
me from beneath hooded lids.
“I’m going to put the awe back in your eyes,” he said, and
my breath caught. “You looked at me like I was a god once, and you’ll do it
again.”
OUR THOUGHTS:
Patchwork House where the Rebel Gods of Heaven Falls reside
The residents at Patchwork are a blend of society's forgotten or unwanted - either by choice or circumstance. Patchwork house is a safe haven for them but considered a blight on and by the community - a den of deviants. (they could not be more wrong)
This little crew of deviants had my heart right from the start. They were all so vivid and the contrasting personalities just made the story. I am looking forward to the next episode. Gebhard did a beautiful job of setting up this series.
This is Flip and Tweety's story - full of loss, laughter, angst, misguided sacrifice and love.
This is the first in the Patchwork House series. It is a New Adult romance that follows the lives of the four Rebel Gods.
The story line ping pongs from current to past events and is told from dual perspectives. Overall this is a very emotional and heartbreaking read that guarantees to endear the reader to the cast - I felt every heartbreak, every fear, and each victory.
I had a few negatives that impacted the story for me. I found various inconsistencies in the story. The ages of the characters during certain events. And this quite possibly may just be me being greedy but I would have liked a bit more meat (background) pertaining to certain scenes and characters.
