A Second Chance Romance

The Punk and the Plaything

4.5 Stars

 I held her tighter, wanting to protect her from whatever dark thoughts plagued her. "Deserve me? You're the lyrics to my song, Bette. I don't exist without you." 

Wow! Okay let me just say I did not expect to love Bee this much, I found myself wanting more of her POV. I particularly loved the throwback chapters, Bee's friendship with Vaughn and Ever was so cute. This book answers some questions that has been pending in the series but it also raises a whole lot more and it quite nicely setups Vaughn's (and hopefully Tyra) book which I am so excited for.

The Punk and The Plaything tells the story of Jamie and Bee begins where Jamie is hell bent on finding out the truth about Bee and Ever’s relationship while also giving glimpses into Jamie and Bee’s past from their childhood. Bee’s entire journey is one to watch out and she shines in this story thoroughly.

Overall, this story was incredible and I highly recommend.
