Rebel Heart

 
     
Rebel Heart by LK Farlow
Release Day: July 26th
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Designer: Jersey Girl Design


She wants to see him get wild and he thinks she needs Jesus.

When AJ Adams is coerced into tutoring Brock Larson, she can’t help but wonder what she’s done to deserve such an epic punishment. He’s the very definition of an All-American good boy—and a total kiss ass. He’s the perfect son, the perfect student, and according to rumor, by far the best golfer the university has ever seen. Puh-lease. If he’s so perfect, why does he need tutoring?

With his British Literature grade circling the drain, Brock knows he needs help. But when he meets his tutor, he can’t believe his friggin’ luck. Abby Jane no longer resembles the childhood best friend he used to play hide and seek with. No, she’s all attitude and pink hair and tattoos. Oh, and she hates him, so that’s a plus.

Brock and AJ couldn’t clash more and antagonizing one another is just too easy. But, as they spend more time together, the lines begin to blur, leading them to realize they have more in common than what meets the eye.

Hate. Lust. Love. They all look the same when you’re in denial, and everyone knows you can’t control your rebel heart.

Rebel Heart is my first read from L.K Farlow and one I was really excited for. I loved the idea of the rebel girl with the nice guy and that's what drew me to the book. Abby Jane and Brock gave me exactly what I was looking for and I really enjoyed seeing their differences come together. I found their story intriguing and couldn't wait to see how it was going to turn out. 

As much as I found it to be interesting, there were still times I was looking for more and that's where my 3 Star rating comes from. Their actual relationship moved kind of fast, which was fine, but that coupled with the fact that there was so much going on in Brock's life that he wasn't dealing with made it a little meh for me. I guess I just wish that he had dealt with his problems a little earlier in the book that way he and Abby Jane could have been focused on more. Especially since the ending seemed a little rushed for me. 

But those problems aside I enjoyed the writing and these characters. I liked Abby Jane's sassiness and how she just really didn't care about the pointless stuff in life. Sure there were moments of insecurity, but for me that just made her character more realistic. She was my favorite part of this book and I will be re-reading it many times just to get more of her. 

Overall, I did have some issues with the story but in the end it was a book that I really enjoyed. And it's definitely one I would recommend. I just hope this isn't the last we've seen of these characters because there are definitely some secondary ones that I would love to get a story. 



EXCERPT

When I reach her door, I take a deep, calming breath and knock. I’m expecting her to answer, so it throws me when her friend Stacia is who greets me instead. “Come on in. AJ’ll be down in a sec.”

“Tell her no rush, she can take all the secs…” I snap my mouth shut and shake my head at myself. “Fuck. Never mind.”

Stacia laughs and quirks a brow at me. “Got sex on the brain, Mr. Larson?” When I don’t reply, she keeps going. “Are you thinking about fucking Ms. Adams? About sticking your sausage into her love muffin?” Now we’re both laughing. “Planning to play a rousing game of hide the salami? Or do you just want to eat her taco?”

It’s that very minute Abby Jane steps into the room, and we immediately stifle our laughter. “Did someone say tacos?”

At that, Stacia and I lose it all over again. Stacia regains her composure first. “Well. Y’all have a lovely evening. Be safe—use condiments…I mean condoms.”
