The angst, the passion, the chemistry - it’s all there and it is delicious.
I’ve attempted a few High School Bully Romances but this was the first one I really, really enjoyed. I felt like this book was more reminiscent of Monica’s adult series The Fowler Sisters works than her YA/NA books in terms of sexual content. If reading about young adults having sex bothers you, don’t pick this up. There is a lot of sex and it is a long book so expect it to be pretty frequent. This book is just plain steamy-and it would still be steamy even if the characters were older. I felt a little odd putting the genre type as “Erotica” in the same line as “Young Adult” but I feel like I need to include it so people know that they are expecting. But I knew that this was a particular passion project of hers and I love a good hate-to-love you romance so I was excited to start this. I’ve mostly been reading her series The Callahans and The College Years. This is the first standalone I’ve read from Monica Murphy in awhile.

There is a spinoff standalone A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime. I’ll let Whit Lancaster ruin me behind closed doors instead. That’s when I strike a bargain with the devil. I’ll be ruined if my darkest secret gets out. And he promises to use my words against me. When he leaves me alone in the dead of night, he takes my journal with him. Let him possess every single part of me until I’m the one left a gasping, broken mess. My instincts scream to leave and let him suffer, but I can’t. When I stumble upon him one night alone, I find him broken. Yet his intense gaze scorches my blood, fills me with a longing I don’t understand. His taunting words carve into my skin, shredding me to ribbons. The school with his family name on the sign. Cold, heartless and devastatingly beautiful, like the statues in our prep school gardens. Whit Lancaster burst into my life like a storm. Synopsis for Things I Wanted to Say (But Never Did) (from Goodreads): Single Sundays: While this blog may be focused on reviewing book series as a whole, we can’t forget about the good ole’ standalone novel! On Sundays, I will review a novel that is considered to be a standalone novel.
