I am always excited for an Elle Kennedy release, but the added fact that this was Connor’s book was even more of a draw for me. He partially stole the show when introduced in The Play, and I along with all other readers were hoping we would get the chance to see him in the spotlight.
He has looks, talent, riches and more importantly charisma, so it’s no surprise that he’s incredibly popular. It also doesn’t hurt that he is popular with female population of Briar U. He’s no stranger to hook ups but of late the lack of connection is a novelty that is quickly wearing off.
Sorority life has it pros and cons for Taylor and one of her lowest points comes when she is dared to hook up with none other than Conor. She’s not confident when it comes to guys and the fact Connor is a demigod makes her wish the ground would swallow her up. Rather than loose face infront of her bitchy sorority sisters she plucks up the courage accost him.
What begins as a fake hook up blossoms into a mutually beneficially fake relationship. Taylor gets to stick it to her Sorority sisters and Conor gets to enjoy Taylor’s company whilst being off the market jock chasers. Elle’s humour and charismatic characters are ever prevalent in the book but I have to say Connor was my favourite part. It wasn’t all humour from his part as he had personal issues with identity that affected him in ways unknown to his friends and family.
Taylor played a role in Connor confronting his past to a degree but I wish more emphasis would have been placed on Taylor being to manage her body/self image issues with professional guidance rather than it being a case of her finally believing Conor was attracted at her. Yes, I know it’s fiction, but I felt her issues were unresolved from that point of view. There was also another conflict late on in the story that felt more as a device rather than being integral to it. It may well be explored in another book, we shall see.
Although not my favourite book in the series it was still an enjoyable read, as this review should in no way put you off from snapping it up.
