Thatcher Michaelson is a bully.

Arrogant. Cruel. Ruthless.

And the most attractive guy I’ve ever laid eyes on. He’s the rebel of Westbrook high, and I’m merely the annoying goody two-shoes he dubbed the saint.

There must be something wrong with me. After nearly two years of dirty looks and constant humiliation, I’m still crushing on the guy who hated me on sight.

Then he kissed me and instead of the ice-cold gaze I was accustomed to, I saw passion burning behind his dark molten eyes.

Violet St. James doesn’t belong in my world. Good. Kind. Pure.

She’s everything I’m not. She doesn’t just look like an angel, she is one. And I’ve fought every impulse to make her mine.

But all my efforts went up in flames the second I tasted her sweet lips. My inability to stay away has changed everything.

She’s determined to break down all my walls, but my little saint doesn’t understand the consequences of her actions.

She tells me she’s not afraid of the fall.

But she should be.

" every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. "

- Oscar Wilde

All the feels!

Violet is the walking definition of a saint. She is far from perfect but she tries to make the right choices, to see all sides before passing judgment. In a way, that big heart ❤ of hers is what made her the perfect target. Bullies are superficial creatures they target those who have what they desire but can not achieve - like honesty, integrity or the simple art of unconditional acceptance. Virtues and traits that can't be bought, faked or crafted.

Our sweet Violet is about to be crushed.

Thatcher has so much anger buried in him and no proper way to process it. The day his dark world collides with heavens light was the first day of his forever.

Thatcher had his own experiences with bullies. He evolved, overcame and ended up on top. Now he does what he must to keep his place.

In his quest to bring down his tormentors, he became one.

When you hold on to anger it consumes burning not only you but that which is closest to you, possibly making you what you hate most.

" Stop it you're getting feels all over me"

Arwen I love her can not wait to read her story just from the breadcrumbs I know it is going to rip out my heart and leave it shattered.

And the ever-faithful sidekick and sometimes a voice of reason, Cole.

There is a story here!

We get a glimpse, a couple of hints but nothing substantial.

He may be the genius that manipulates the ether-net in their fight against evil but I believe he has a formidable opponent of the fairer sex manipulating who is about to challenge his crown.

This read for me like a journey of self-discovery for both of our main characters.

There are a lot of smaller plot lines that play in the background and some areas I never did get my answers.

-Who they took down?

-How they did it?

I get the why but ...

Lots of laughs, all the drama and a heart ❤ melting HEA.

Need the next in series, please!!
