They say your first love leaves a mark. For Calliope James it didn't only leave a mark, it tore out her heart and left it bleeding on the ground. He was her best friend. Her first kiss. Her everything. Until one day, he wasn't. Zachary Messiah will never forget the girl with eyes the color of whiskey. But he's not that boy anymore. Cold. Cruel. He's devoid of emotion. Their paths were never supposed to cross again. But love doesn't always play by the rules. Now he's the King of Steinbeck University and she's the new girl on campus ... and the pasts they have fought so hard to bury are about to collide. Only this time, they might not survive the fallout.  




My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Sports romances are my absolute favorite, and On the Rebound is just that. I definitely have some mixed feelings about this LA Cotton story though. I loved it. I consumed it, unable to put it down. But I definitely struggled with a few things. 

Again, no matter what I say below, I could not put this book down. 

I love the intensity of  Zach and Calli, especially the way they can't stay away from each other. 

But damn, I hated how bad Zach treated Calli. I understand it, as they are both so damn broken. But it's a tough thing to read. As well, the way Calli's brother treats her is maddening. Honestly, if you love the enemies part of enemies to lovers, this is your kind of story. 

There's a lot going on in this story. Both Callie and Zach are the products of their upbringings. Both grew up as the invisible kid in their families. And damn did it ever affect them! This second chance romance is full of anger and manipulation. It includes some hate sex, which I know is a big plus for many readers. 

There's a lot of time spent working with troubled youth, there's family issues galore, and plenty of extremely broken people, all trying to survive their grief and guilt. 

As much as I was obsessed with the book, I struggled with all the questions throughout. I desperately wanted to know what happened. And Zach, ugh. I assumed why Zach did what he did, but it still didn't make sense. I couldn't understand why he was so awful to Calli. Basically, I got upset with how long the questions went unanswered.

Overall, On the Rebound is a riveting new adult romance. LA Cotton brought a lot of layers into this sports romance. If you enjoy drama and angst, this book is for you. 



      


 Author of over thirty mature young adult and new adult novels, LA COTTON is happiest writing the kind of books she loves to read: addictive stories full of teenage angst, tension, twists and turns. Home is a small town in the middle of England where she currently juggles being a full-time writer with being a mother/referee to two little people. In her spare time (and when she’s not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most likely find LA immersed in a book, escaping the chaos that is life.
