From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author L A Cotton, comes an emotional enemies-to-lovers romance. Angst... drama... friendship... and football. Will you survive senior year?

Ashleigh Chase has always had big dreams.

But when she wakes up in hospital with no memory of how she got there, her bright future dissolves around her.

Ezra Bennet has always felt like the odd one out.

But this time, he really screwed up and has no choice but to face the consequences.

Forced to retake their senior year, Ashleigh turns to Ezra only to find him cold and cruel and determined to keep her at arm's length.

He's the guy she always wanted.

She's the girl who was never good enough for him.

But now there's a secret between them, one that she's determined to uncover.

She thinks she can save him. But she doesn't realize yet...

He's the one who ruined her.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Damn! Ruined Hopes is another fantastic story in the Rixon High series. This LA Cotton story is one hell of a rollercoaster. 

Everything between Ashleigh and Ezra is complicated, messy, and passionate. Everything between these two is intense and riveting.

There's a lot going on between these two, and with Ashleigh having amnesia, it takes the reader a while to overcover the depth of their past. 

These two have a million things in their way, but rest assured, they finally get their happy ending. 

Yes, Ashleigh has amnesia, which causes a slew of issues and obstacles for her. But Ezra's the one who's really the complex one. Imagine that! He's his own worst enemy, with his past always standing in his way. Saying he has baggage in an understatement. He's a broken young man who has yet to feel that he's lovable. 

This is a second chance romance for Ezra and Ashleigh, with one of the best aspects being how far apart they are at the beginning. Their story starts with them being worlds apart emotionally and physically. As a reader, it seems impossible that they could ever get past their pain, cut through the distance, and even become friends again, let alone more. But, fear not, LA Cotton is a master at bringing messy relationships through the wringer, while ultimately working them towards a happy ending. 

This entire LA Cotton world is messy and multi-layered, with the best characters. I continue to be in awe of the way LA brings the characters towards redemption and creates amazingly strong couples. And yes, you will get to spend time with all the original characters who we've all come to love. 

Ruined Hopes is another riveting installment in the Rixon High series. If you're a fan of LA Cotton, you will love this book. Just getting to spend time with all these amazing characters is a treat. Don't miss it.

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.

My Review

_________________________________________________________________

Add to Goodreads: 

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51003698-tragic-lies

Peyton Myers has always been the life of the party.

But behind her smile and sass is a girl lost and alone, searching for her place in the world.

Xander Chase has always been on the outside looking in.

But behind his cool indifference and hard exterior is a guy afraid to open his heart to anyone.

 

When he saves Peyton from a tragic accident, their lives are entwined forever. But Xander's not the hero of her story... no matter how much she wants him to be.

She’s a girl with her whole life ahead of her.

He’s a guy who is drifting through life.

And although these two lost souls might be able to heal each other, there's one glaring problem.

She's still in high school...

And completely forbidden.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Tragic Lies is the second book in the Rixon High series. In classic LA Cotton magic, we're transported right back into this amazing world, where we first met the parents in the Rixon Raiders series, and now we are getting to know the next generation. 

Since reading Off Limits, I have been anxiously awaiting this story. We knew that Zander saved Peyton's life after tragedy struck her world. And we knew that meant a messy tale was coming. But, damn, this story is super messy and complicated. 

And I love it!!! 

I have to note that it comes super close to blurring a line I don't approve of. I don't want to give it away. But, damn, I am not in love with everything that happens to this two. That part is definitely not cool.

But, hell, these two are both broken and lost and their story shouldn't be clean and easy. 

I love this book. 

It's fucking hot, but again, I definitely struggle with her age here. 

Overall, Tragic Lies is a fabulous romance. LA Cotton brings all the emotions to this age gap tale.

EXCERPT REVEAL - MF - Tragic Lies (Rixon High #2) by LA Cotton

He framed my face with his hands, eyes searching mine, deep and intense. “What?” I

whispered, my heart stuttering in my chest so much it felt hard to breathe.

“You slay me, Peyton.”

And then he kissed me.

His hand curved around the back of my neck, gripping me possessively as Xander

licked and teased the seam of my mouth, coaxing me to let him in. My hands fisted his

hoodie as I fell willingly into him, the feel of his lips, the heat of his body beneath me.

“Xander,” I breathed, kissing him harder, deeper. Our tongues slid together, slow and

searching. Xander’s fingers twined in my hair and he yanked gently, giving him better

access to trail hot open-mouthed kisses over my jaw and down my throat.

“I must taste lovely,” I chuckled, all too aware that I’d just worked a six-hour shift at

Cindy’s Grill.

Xander met my gaze, pure need glittering there. “You think I care?” He rolled his hips,

showing me exactly how much he didn’t care.

A bolt of lust shot through me.

“More,” I panted.

But I saw the torment in his eyes. Xander wouldn’t cross that line. Not here, not yet. But

God, I needed him to touch me. I needed something to tamp down the flames

threatening to burn me inside out.

Feeling a lick of confidence, I shifted above him slightly and then lowered myself down.

Right over him. His throaty growl made my skin vibrate, sending delicious shivers

shooting through me.

“Fuck, Peyton.” His hands slid to my ass again, pulling my body closer, rocking me

against his hard length. “This is dangerous...”

“We’re not doing anything.” I leaned in, smirking against his mouth as I kissed him. “Not

really.”

He chuckled darkly, kissing me back with as much desperation as I felt.

This wasn’t wrong.

It wasn’t.

How could it be wrong when it felt so right?
