The Words: An Enemies-to-Lovers Standalone Romance

Product Information

The bullying in the book comes from her peers and not the love interest, which I found interesting since it was sold as a bully romance. My issue is that the author made the specific choice to have them only refer to her as fat, cow and pig with one scene happening where she has literal pig slop thrown on her. i could honestly gush about her all day long so i’ll stop now. as Skylar so wonderfully put it in the book, i, too, want to be Lennon Michaels when i grow up :) His low, raspy voice is a turbulent current of water, pulling me under. However, it’s the haunting, desperate look in his eyes that’s my undoing. Creating richly complex characters, too, she enjoys looking at human nature, too, with its many intricacies and flaws. From this, she gains some intensely interesting perspectives, allowing her to shine a light on subjects not otherwise written about typically. All this whilst never forgetting to truly entertain her readers, providing them with a real sense of escape through her fiction. Continuing to grow both upwards and onwards, she will carry on evolving as an author for many years to follow. I devoured this book and enjoyed every sizzling sexy detail. It's dark and gritty with a touch of suspense blended with erotic sex and delicious angst." New York Times Bestselling author, Tabatha Vargo.

however, when the cute moments began.. i was rooting for them so hard 😭 this is why i overlooked all the red flags and messy drama. they shared such a beautiful connection and no character understood them better than they understood each other 🥺 i'm not sure i'd recommend this to everyone, because the drama can be tiresome for sure. i think low expectations worked for the best here. if you read this, know that it'll be crazy and looong, but IMO the romance is worth it 🤠 doesn't apologize for YEARS for how he betrayed Lennon, but wrote a bunch of unsent letters saying how much he loved her and missed her 😭While Preston loves Kit with all his heart, he’s still trying to protect her from the truth, which is why he keeps secrets from her. Hoping that she can forgive him when they finally do come out, he is still to deal with his inner demons in a healthy and final manner. Meanwhile, Kit must deal with her own issues, as she not only must deal with her love for Preston, but she’s also questioning her sexuality too. Will they be able to deal with their difficulties and finally end up together, can they put the past behind them finally once and for all, and what will become of them both as they claim themselves all in? And parallel to this journey of confronting our own inner demons, this is also a story about choices and mistakes. About the ways we consciously or unconsciously make decisions everyday around our hopes, dreams, and desires, and the tension we face when those decisions may conflict with our values, when we have to consider just how much of ourselves, or what we love, we’re willing to compromise to chase our desires. Phoenix’s character journey is part of what I love so much about how AJ writes broken characters. She dissolves them, has them self-destruct, but she also redeems them, while never excusing or explaining away their behavior. Rather, she makes them own it, face it, internalize and live their mistakes. And Phoenix makes many, so so many, but AJ reminds us that we’re not less worthy of love because we’re human. What makes us worthy is how we co-exist with our flaws, how we brave them. This man’s heart, his soul? Well, it takes my breath away just how beautiful he is- despite all his faults, all his wrongs. I wasn't even sure if these two would arrive at their HEA because it was a LONG road we had to travel, but that's what made this book so real, so raw, two beautifully broken characters, both flawed, making them that much easier to relate to. The hurt, the hate, the tugging on my heart, my mind in turmoil, this author pulled out all the stops and she nailed this book making it by far one of my most favourites by her!!
