Trent and Edie against the world...
Trent and Edie, an age gap romance. Edie's father is Trent's enemy, they loathe each other, that doesn't stop Trent and Edie from falling in love. When presented the opportunity to stab Trent in the back and give her father the ammunition to ruin Trent, Edie grows a back bone and goes against her father for the first time in her life. There's an interesting twist of events that I won't go into that really made my jaw drop.
I got the feeling these two would end up together from the end of Ruckus. At the BBQ when Trent couldn't keep his eyes off her. There is a pretty big age gap 18 vs. 33 but 18 is technically an adult so it was okay. This is standard enemies to lovers happily ever after type of story.
Along with [b:Vicious 30839185 Vicious (Sinners of Saint, #1) L.J. Shen https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1481945407s/30839185.jpg 51437887] this was my favorite of this quartet. The same dual P.O.V. narrated by [a:Savannah Peachwood 15436851 Savannah Peachwood https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] and [a:Christian Rummel 2725838 Christian Rummel https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1532289458p2/2725838.jpg] works like gangbusters, mostly because the characters are more interesting, their problems relatable, and also more believable. Trent is one of the fourth of the Hot Holes, and the outline of his life has been seeded throughout the other book. He's the biracial kid from the wrong side of the tracks who made in to the inner circle due to his sports prowess, though it didn't take hime as far as he hoped. In the end if was his smarts and the fierce, almost brutal, loyalty of his friends that landed him a millionaire partner in FHH (Fiscal Heights Holdings), the company they all founded. Being a wealthy, tall, handsome, former football player means Trent has been around the block more than once, one of those trips has made him the single dad of Luna, an adorable four year old, who chooses not to speak. Challenging. Edie is 18 and the daughter of Trent's business partner. Trent hates him, for good reason, and by extension he has some ideas about Edie. It turns out they're all wrong. As fate would have it Luna takes a shine to Edie, bringing her into Trent's orbit, and sparks fly. Delicious. The age difference between the H/h is never weird, it feels right. Because of her family Edie has had to grow up fast, she's the kind of kid who's had to be a parent to her parent and is carrying way too much on her shoulders, but manages not to come off saintly, just a fighter. I liked her. Trent and Edie complement each other in every aspect and their imperfect perfect HEA gave me all the feels. Sweet.
Scandalous indeed!!! This was a great read in this series.
I felt like Trent and Edie had a genuine connection.
Trent is a single dad, with a little girl who doesn't talk.
Edie is young, and her dad is enemies with Trent. They are on the board of the same company and both are trying to get rid of the other. Edie has the weight of the world on her shoulders, trying to care for everyone else other than herself.
Her dad tried to blackmail Edie into getting dirt on Trent, and she feels guilty because she has feelings for Trent but she has no other choice.
Both her and Trent know the stakes and who the other person is, but they don't stop their firey romance.
