The story we have been waiting for about a the mysterious and handsome Ryder.
Every Bittersweet Novella gave us a glimpse of Ryder. It showed that he was a troubled manwhore, who had a thing for Jenna and who follows where his twin brother Rex and his cousin Cory goes. We always wondered what his story was, now here it is front and center. We get to know why Ryder is the way he is and why he thinks screwing any girl he likes is ok.
I knew from reading the other books, that Ryder is so much more than meets the eyes. He is a troubled boy, who went through hell and this is his story. This is where we find out that even though he had a thing for Jenna, he loves his brother Rex very much. That he will do anything for his brother, to make sure he doesn’t break his heart..even if he pisses him off here and there.
When Mimi’s friend Kennedy came around, Ryder couldn’t help but try to get to know her. He was interested to know more about her and was really pulled in by her simplicity and innocence.
“Your innocence. You ooze it from every pore in the way you talk and the way you dress. You don’t even realize how beautiful you are.” ~Ryder
When Kennedy finally agreed to hang out with him, he found it harder and harder to not think of her when she wasn’t around. The more he got to know her, the more he wanted to be a better man for her, someone worthy of her beauty. Both have secrets they wanted to keep hidden, but with each other they couldn’t help but share who they really are. Both broken, but together they became whole.
With Kennedy’s former best friend Sam wrecks havoc with them both and both get lost in their own world. Will they figure it all out what to do with Sam and come out on top? Will they beat Sam at his own game? Or will they let Sam win, while their heart losses each other? Read and find out.
This book is not overpowered with sex, but more of the emotions and love that Kennedy and Ryder have for each other. Also a lot on the connection between the two that grows out of nowhere, but worth everything.
I enjoyed reading Ryder and Kennedy’s story. I love how Ryder was so into Kennedy, because she was simple and innocent. I cannot wait to read the last and final book of Bittersweet series. ..so JL Beck please don’t let us wait to long. <3
