Poppy:

Once, I walked the halls of privilege, but in a heartbeat, I watched my world crumble. Now, as I stand at the threshold of Silverbrook University, I'm armed with nothing but a scholarship and a determination to reclaim a semblance of my former life.

But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Ethan Hawthorne, the golden boy of my former elite world and my ex-rival, is here. His every smirk is a reminder that the past is not easily outrun.

Ethan:

At Silverbrook, I'm the guy with the world at his feet—star athlete, heir to a legacy, the guy who always wins. But Poppy? She was the one challenge I never conquered, the one competitor who never played by my rules.

Her return in my life is a curveball I never saw coming. She's changed, hardened by life's twists, and now she captivates me more than ever. Our history wasn't just competition; it was a clash of hearts and egos. Now, the rules have changed. I'm not just out to win a petty game. This time, I'm playing for her heart.

In the elite corridors of Silverbrook University , a tale of passion, redemption, and undeniable attraction unfolds. Poppy and Ethan, bound by their tumultuous past, are caught in a dance of denial and desire. Can an alpha athlete truly humble himself for love? And can a strong-willed girl find forgiveness in her heart? Dive into a steamy saga of love, scars, and second chances.

I was completely sucker punched by this book! I didn't really have many expectations going into this book because this was a new author for me but I was blown away. I wanted to read this book primarily because the blurb sounded so intriguing. I wasn't disappointed!

R.G. Angel's writing style really spoke to me. I immediately felt a kinship with the writing and was sucked into the story. The plot was very compelling and I was totally immersed the entire time.

I love the uniqueness and complexity of the characters. Each character was distinct and made an impression on me. I love all the family drama and dynamics involved with the characters. It made things interesting. The supporting characters stood out as well. I love the friendships and bonds that the characters share. I am very excited to continue this series and see the other characters and their journeys.

Poppy and Ethan have a compelling relationship. They have a shared past which made things interesting. They have obvious and intense chemistry but so many things are coming between them. I enjoyed the evolution of their relationship.

Overall, this was an angsty, entertaining, fast-paced story that really impressed me. I fell hard for these characters and I am eager to read more books in this series.
