BLURB:
I hate his pretty lips. I hate how good they taste.
Theo
He’s the most infuriating, immature frat brat I’ve ever had the misfortune of coming across. Again.
He’s also the guy I dumped in high-school when I realized I was straight after all. And he just so happens to be the intern at his dad’s company; the very same one I work for.
A terrible misunderstanding puts Justin Lewis into my care. I’m supposed to teach him how his father’s business works. But he’s determined to do it the hard way.
Four years ago, after breaking his heart, I experienced what Justin’s hatred could do. He ruined the final weeks of high-school for me. He scared me into skipping my prom night.
No more.
I’m not that frightened kid anymore. I’ve come far without anyone’s help and I’m not letting one begrudging ex ruin all that I’ve achieved.
If only he wasn’t so irresistible when he pouted.
If only I could stop leaning in to catch his scent.
If only I wasn’t about to make the same mistake all over again.
Justin
It was supposed to be simple; do the internship, make Dad happy, and go away to lick my wounds. I’m sick of the way I live, but a terrible breakup from four years ago still haunts me.
Until I start my internship and discover there’s Theo Wright in my office. Or am I in his office? Depends on who you ask.
The guy hates me and I know why. But I hate him just as much. He wrecked me for good when he turned suddenly straight after one encounter and I never trusted another guy since.
If I’m going to earn my ticket out, I need to do this boring internship. And Theo just so happens to be the only thing to help me pass the time. Annoying him is my new, favorite hobby.
Until I take it a step too far.
And he blushes like a maiden.
And my heart nearly explodes.
Maybe there’s more to him than I let myself believe. The way he looks at me while we work is almost enough to give me a glimmer of hope. If I was foolish enough, I might try something that could burn down in flames again.
Oh, who am I kidding? I’ve always been foolish enough.
REVIEW:
This is Book 6 of the Frat Brats of Santa Barbara by Hayden Hall and it has been an amazing series so far. I love every book in this series and this latest and sad-to-say last instalment is just as amazing as the others. This series is about beautiful young men who goes to college at Highgate Academy which is an exclusive school for boys. It mostly has men coming from rich backgrounds as students but as we read these books, they are just as human as you and me, whether they are rich or not, they go through the same pains and frustrations like you and me. Sometimes they have it harder because of high expectations and doing what they are told.
In this last installment we have Justin Lewis, the last of the Fuckboys to fall, about to start his internship at his father’s company. But what he didn’t expect is for his heartbreaker to be his mentor, Theo Wright. The same Theo who broke his heart in high school, which Justin never really recovered from. Justin threatened to destroy Theo when Theo broke his heart. Precisely the reason why he never went into any relationships, just meaningless hookups. But all his friends have found their partners, he alone remains.
Theo knew that he was getting a new Intern to train but he never thought that it would his boss’ son, Justin, whose heart he broke when they were in high school. Now, Justin can finally fulfill the promise he made to Theo that he will destroy him.
But what turned out to be animosity with a lot of angst at first soon turn to friendship as they spend more and more time together. Reasons as to why things happened the way they did back in high school were revealed and both started to think of which way they wanted to go forward.
A bittersweet farewell to a well-loved series by Mr. Hayden Hall. I love this series so much. I love all the boys and each of their stories. I love how their stories were written to make it more realistic and lovable in today’s times. I am sad to see them go but I am also looking forward to what comes next.
