The anticipated conclusion to Jenna and Rex’s story is now here.
Bittersweet Love is the second book in the series, it is recommended that you read book one in the series first, before reading this that way you can get a better understanding of the story.
Betrayal. That’s what Jenna Haines felt when she discovered that her relationship with Rex Winchester was anything but real.
With a broken heart, and a deep sadness running through her veins she picked up the pieces and forced herself to move on. After all, what better place to start fresh than at University of California, Berkeley?
That is until the day she finds out Rex got accepted to Berkeley too, and that he will be following her off to college. To add salt to the wounds, it seems as if he will do anything to win her back. With Rex, on the prowl and her heart being the prey can she resist his advances towards her?
Even more so can she move on from the vengeful things he once did and fall into a deep bittersweet love? Or will the hate, lies, and secrets break them beyond repair? Is love really capable of healing all wounds or is everything still just a lie?
I have really enjoyed reading this conclusion to Jenna and Rex’s story. After leaving the turbulent final year of high school behind and all of the fall out of the revelation about her mum, Jenna escape to University with Mimi hoping for a fresh start.
Bang goes the hope for a peaceful college life when it is revealed that not only is Rex attending the same college too but so are Ryder and Corey! Cue the prospect of further heartache and grief for Jenna.
This chapter in Jenna’s life sees her growing the big pair of balls she needed in high school and it was nice to see her progression and her take no prisoners attitude. I felt a little annoyed at her during her school days for not standing up to people more and almost allowing herself to be the doormat. She does however redeem herself in my eyes at college and honestly almost goes too far the other way.
Rex, hes a man smitten! Well and truly smitten but will he ever be able to break down and get through to Jenna just how much he loves her and just how sorry he is for getting involved in trying to hurt her in the first place? Add to his battle the fact that his twin brother Ryder is also in the picture. Plus the fact that his errant cousin Corey seems to have developed “something” for Mimi too, his life isn’t made easy at all!
This developed really nicely for me and the fact that these two books have been released as novellas has made this a nice bite sized instalment in the series. The ending was just perfect and I can’t wait for Mimi and Corey’s story!
