People think that just because they know my name, my reputation, and my family that they know me. They don’t.
They say I’m a manwhore, but who wouldn’t be with my face and body? They say I’m a partier, and that’s not going to change. They say I’m a fighter, and hell yes I am. F*ck with mine, and I’ll f*ck you back ten times worse.
So, yes. Maybe what they say is true, but that’s not all of me.
I’m loyal to a damned fault. If you earn it, I’ll never leave your side. And when I love, I love hard, but there’s another side to me where it’s dark and painful. That side’s been kept hidden, until her. Taylor saw inside of me, and the second she was there, she owned me.
People think they know me…
…but only she can see me.
Review by Twinsie Melinda
I purchased this audio book.
I loved Logan we got to see a side to him that not everyone gets to see. We know the playboy, partier, funnyman, and even fighter but here we see another side of him the the loving, protector, and loyal to those he loves. Honestly, after growing up with the parents he had and seeing what those he held close put him though I get why he is the way he is. He has so much hurt and is guarded but he doesn’t let is show it haunts him but it does. He just wants someone to see him for who he is and to love him for it.
I love Taylor’s spunk and attitude she can go toe to toe with Logan which is just what he needs. One day everything changed for Taylor, she lost her mom, her boyfriend and is all essence her dad too. Taylor is one tough cookie though after all she has been through, she kept on going. She holds her ground when it come to Logan or anyone really. Even with her encounters with the ex she knows what she does and doesn’t want and stands strong with that. She does have a moment where her walls are thrown back up and she freezes Logan out by pushing him away.
Logan and Taylor are the perfect match both have their share of heartbreak and both make it hard to break their inner circle but these two fit together perfectly. I did enjoy seeing the relationship between Logan, Mason, Sam and Nate then adding Taylor in the mix. Sam accepting Taylor with no judgments no expectations was heartwarming. Watching Logan with his family and see Taylor with her close friends you realize they are not perfect but they are protective of each other, want what is best for each other and love each other. I loved seeing the softer side of Logan. Seriously the scenes on the roller coaster had me tearing up, not just the interaction between Logan and Taylor but also the interaction between Logan and Mason.
Graham Halstead and Summer Morton did a great job brining Tijan’s book to life. The flow from one scene to another and one character to another was seamless. I had a hard time pressing the pause button on this one at times.
A few of my favorite quotes:
“I told Logan I’d be a friend to you,.. So I’d like to do that, and I’d like to do it the way I’d want it done for me: No opinions. No judgments. Just an Easy acceptance.” ~Sam
“I was going to only be friends with them and make a point of giving them whatever they needed. But all that went out the door when Logan sat next to me in sociology. Somehow, and I truly have no idea how, he’s become my friend.” ~Taylor
“Family never leaves each other. You save each other. If it ends, it ends together. That’s all you can do, because even if you get out, you’re alone.” ~Logan
“You’re sweet. You’re kind. You want to be loved. You still miss your mom’s love. You yearn for a dad who’ll choose you over his lover. You want a girl who’ll hold your hand on top of a broken Roller coaster.”…”You want a partner in crime, but also someone you can protect, and who’ll do the same for you.”…”No one knows the real you, but I do.” ~ Taylor
