I wanted to read this book because I had seen the film in the Spanish version and when I figured it was a book and that it had been translated to English, I was instantly wanting to try and read it. Obviously, the book was better as always, but there was a lot of changes, so it was interesting to see.  

This book has two points of view. The first is seventeen-year-old Noah Morgan and she loves her quiet, normal life in Toronto. But when her mother returns from a cruise unexpectedly married to a billionaire and announces they are moved to L.A., Noah is suddenly shoved out of her comfort zone and into a glittering world of illegal street races, lavish pool parties and spoiled rich kids. And her new stepbrother Nicholas is the most spoiled of them all. Arrogant, aloof and viciously attractive. Nick is everything she hates, especially when she learns his bad boy persona isn’t just a facade. Noah has her own demons on her tail and doesn’t want Nick’s nose in any of them. The second point of view is twenty-year-old Nicholas Leister, and he is a college student and a typical spoiled rich kid. However, Nick has a secret life, one filled with car racing, street fighting and parties every night. He is a gang leader, that has a different girl every night. That all changes when he realises that Noah isn’t like other girls, they both like getting under each other skin and the more pushing and pulling they do with each other, the more they don’t realise how much the physical attraction between them is growing – enough to turn their world upside down. 

This book was soooo messy, but I loved it. It was one of those books being like I shouldn’t love it, but I do, like watching reality TV. It was so messy, and I was hooked from page one. The storyline was jam-packed, and it was an easy read, though it was almost very mysterious, and I was wanting to know who was after Noah. I loved Noah, she was so badass and just didn’t give a shit, when she beat Ronnie in that race and got up in his face, I was rooting for her so much. Nick was so toxic, but I loved him. At first, he was wanting to wind the hell out of Noah just because he wasn’t happy with the fact that more people were in his mansion (boo-hoo, let me get you your mini violin) to then realising she wasn’t going anywhere and was fascinated by her. I loved Nick’s growth and how he realized why Noah was wanting to work and not have a flashy car and wanting to change for her. How many men realise when they’ve lost the person, they love that they need to change and do instead of love bombing and gaslighting the person to get back together. It was so refreshing to see. I loved Maddie, and I wanted to hug her so much for just wanting to have a family and not her mum being AWOL.  

I feel like this book was slightly rushed at time. There was so much going on and then when it got to the final dramatic event, it was done within six chapters, I would have liked to see more with what happened to Ronnie after the kidnapping? Did he confess? Did he open his mouth about Nick’s gang? How long does he have to spend in prison? I have more questions than answer. Is Nick going to get Maddie? Did his dad and Noah’s mum approve of this relationship? What happened to Anna? She seemed like a woman who doesn’t back down after being with Nick for years.  

I am wondering how this series is going to carry on as this book seems to be tied in a bow and done, but obviously there are two more books, so I'm intrigued with how it’s going to carry on with Nick and Noah.
