Brutal Blueblood

•”One More Tomorrow”• This was a bit of a hot and cold read for me, meaning, I was unsure how I felt about certain aspects, but overall enjoyed it. Tanith was great, she’s a smart, independent and hard working young woman. I adored Owen, despite his faux pas lol, he’s a sweet, caring, intelligent, strong, young man and his fierceness with Tanith was amazing. They do not lack in the chemistry department either, I’ve found that to be one of strongest parts to all of Becker Grays books. The buildup and intensity between the characters are some the hottest and best to read. Owen and his title of “Ice King” I felt did not fit him. For me he just came off as more calm, reserved and maybe even a little dense or unawares at times, that probably more due to immaturity as these are still high school students. Maybe I’m misinterpreting the “ice” aspect but to me, with it attached to a title like King it elicits something like ice in his veins. So, with a bold nickname as such I feel we need to see why. Where we see plenty of reference to Rhys being cruel, once even being referred to as a “viper”, I would’ve like to have seen something similar for Owen. As for the other characters I really struggled with this. I love the bond between the two groups, but I felt like there was A LOT of time spent talking about not just the other friends but specifically Sera. I know she is a major presence in all their lives but it felt a little overwhelming to the plot of Owen and Tanith story at times. I enjoyed the story, the way it was laid out, the evolution of the relationship with the highs and lows and felt Owen and Tanith were a perfect match.

Oh but I love when a playboy falls in love. Owen is a dirty talking hero I can't help but lust over. He's barely noticing the heroine, Tanith, after 3 years of sharing friends and going to the same school. She's secretly lusted after him the whole time and isn't happy that he doesn't have a clue who she is. I love that she played hard to get. Her pride got in the way at first and there was a fun game of cat-and-mouse going on. But I equally loved how relentless Owen was at chasing her once he had his first taste. His dirty talking was on another level! This book delivered a quick, easy, filthy read. I couldn't help but devour it.

This is a sexy, teenage angst romance. Introvert Tanith manages to catch Owen's, her crush, eye. Even though, he's smart and level headed, he was a rich, clueless dumbass when it came to Tanith. Owen would screw up and she would overact sometimes. Typical teen behavior. I liked Owen and Tanith, even if they made me want to throw my hands up in frastration. I enjoyed reading this and looking forword to reading the rest of the Hellfire Club.
