It has great characters, wonderful banter, laugh-out-loud pranks, steamy scenes, and a mystery I need to see solved. I understand it was for plot purposes, but I just found it a little annoying. The one thing that did annoy me a little about this book is that the boys didn’t simply explain at least a little of what happened that night to Madison Kate early on. All of the revenge plots are humorous, but what really drew me in was trying to figure out what really happened on riot night. ![]() It starts full throttle from the beginning and doesn’t ever really stop. Kp boken Hate av Tate James (ISBN 9781922688170) hos Adlibris. This story could never be described as slow. But if forced, I think I would go with Kodi at this point. I am hesitant to choose a favorite because usually, in RH, my favorite changes throughout the full story. This is a reverse harem series, meaning the leading lady. I liked that while they were all truly alpha-holes, they each had their own personalities. Madison Kate is a new adult/college age dark romance with enemies to lovers/hate to love themes. And the boys, Alpha-holes to the nth degree.

And in the process, Roose gets a good dose of humanizing himself. This isn't to say that some of the worst stereotypes of evangelicalism, fundamentalism, the Bible Belt, and Christian higher education aren't reinforced by Roose's experience. It's not the book it was supposed to be because, as it turns out, Liberty University wasn't what it was supposed to be. ![]() And it's not the book I anticipated when I first heard rumors among students at Liberty University, where I teach, that a young man from Brown University had come here and spent a semester undercover in order to write an exposé on command central for one side in America's culture wars.
