"Can you keep a secret?

I grew up sick

Let me clarify.

I grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy.

Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic heart, which resulted in my illness.

When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naive. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.

Triple Falls wasn't at all what it seemed, no were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.

Secrets that cost us everything to keep.

That's the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can't re-live your own love story, because by the time you've realized you're living it, it's over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.

Looking back, I"m convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness. 

And all were punished."

Overall Rating: 3/5

Spice Rating: 4/5

I think that this first book was a fun read, but I think it wasn't what I wanted. The plot was just ok for me. I didn't care about where the story was headed or why the characters acted the way they did. I was in it for the smut. It was great fun to read, and I was hoping for things to get messier, but they just never went too crazy. I don't plan on continuing the series, but I would continue reading from the author.

Thanks for reading,

"Strike One- My mother named me Theodore after her favorite chipmunk.

Not cool, Mom.

I've spent most of my life answering to Teddy, because I couldn't make Theo work.

Except for here. College. The place where all bets are off, and I've managed to redeem myself.

There's only one problem, my new roommate, Troy is football royalty and look like he stepped off the set of an Abercrombie shoot.

Doesn't matter, I cook a mean breakfast for his panty parade, and we get along well.

And anyway, this year I got the girl. And she's perfect.

That's right, Theodore Houseman, former band geek, now marching band rock star has finally landed the girl of his dreams.

Everything is perfect.

That is, until Troy takes a good look at her.

I'm not going down without a fight. As a matter of fact, I'm not going down at all. As glorious as these days may be for my all-star roommate, Laney is my end game.

I may not know much about play strategy, but I've been the good guy my whole life. I've been listening and I know exactly what women want. Framed ina picture standing next to me, Troy may seem like Mr. Perfect, but he's underestimating the guy on the right."

My Rating: 4/5

This was such a fun romance to read. I'm looking forward to reading alot from the Kindle Unlimited library this month and just having fun with my reading. This was supposed to be a good intro to new adult, and smut. But it was more romantic than I was anticipating. It was fun to see a normal guy getting the girl, but also to see them deal with things together as friends before becoming more. The conflict int his book was just a bit much for me, but I get what the author was doing. My only big complaint was that at times this book felt like it was based in 2015 not 2019 and I know that might not matter to some people,but it did take me out of the story here and there. I might continue this series, depending how the rest of my reading this month goes.

Thanks for reading,
