The rich and popular Sharks rule at prestigious, ivy-covered Camden Prep. Once upon a time, I wanted to be part of their world—until one of them destroyed me.
The last thing I expected was an anonymous love letter from one of them.
Please. I hate every one of those rich jerks for what they did to me. The question is, which Shark is my secret admirer: Knox, the scarred quarterback and their leader, Dane, his twin brother, or Chance, the ex who dumped me...
Dear Ava,
Your eyes are the color of the Caribbean Sea.
That’s stupid.
What I really mean is, you look at me and I feel something REAL.
It’s been ten months since you were here, but I can’t forget you.
I’ve missed seeing you walk down the hall.
I’ve missed you cheering at my football games.
I’ve missed the smell of your hair.
The truth is, I wanted you back then—but you had him.
And then everything fell apart that night.
Don’t hate me because I’m a Shark.
I just want to make you mine.
Still.

My Review (ARC provided)
Five stars!!!!!
I don’t even know where to start with this review. I wish I could put into words how much I truly loved this book. It’s not an easy read; it’s raw, gritty, emotional and tugs at your heartstrings. I love Ilsa’s books, but this one was by far my very favorite. It was the deepest and emotionally involved book I feel she’s written.
The first chapter is hard to read; it starts by leaving you feeling a little sick and kind of scared of what’s to come. Our heroine Ava is determined to start her senior year with a new “tough” attitude and will not let anyone get to her, while inside, she is breaking and trying to keep it together. She receives an anonymous letter from an admirer who so happens to be in a group of her biggest enemies. It’s not a big surprise on who the admirer is, but what we also have is a whole “who done it” thing going on. When I thought I knew who it was and would second guess myself and hope that it wasn’t a particular person.
This is the kind of book that had to be hard to write but must feel so good to put out there. I hope Ilsa is proud of this because it is so well written and thought out from beginning to end, and man that epilogue. Sigh…
