Foes & Cons by Carrie Aarons

 



Foes & Cons by Carrie Aarons is now live!



Sawyer Roarke was my best friend.

Growing up, our families were inseparable. We spent summers vacationing at the beach. In the school yard, it was us against the world. Then puberty hit, and we skated the thin line of staying buddies, or becoming more.
Until I accidentally found the pros and cons list he made about whether or not to date me. And there were definitely more bullet points on the no side. Acting out of rage and hurt, I embarrassed him in the most public way possible. Now, we're enemies.
We've spent the last two years tearing each other to pieces. Everyone knows that Blair and Sawyer hate the ground the other walks on, and unfortunately, I got the unpopular end of the stick while he became Mr. Prom King.
Until senior year starts, and I'm tired of running scared. For the first time ever, I stand up to the golden boy with the whip-smart tongue. As the challenges and dares pick up speed, hearts start to fall and feelings get entangled. Despite my initial discovery, I wonder if being caught by each other wouldn't be so bad.
Except Sawyer has no idea what I found all those years ago. And if the truth comes out about why I pitted us against each other, not only will he add one more con to his list ... but he can add my broken heart as well.

Reviews:

I really enjoyed this book, I love books like this, where there is a lot of give and take. There were moments in this book where I was embarrassed to the teeth, but there were other times, I was like, this is amazing. The chemistry between the two main characters is off the charts, even when they are at each others throats. Sawyer sure does come off as a douchebag at first, yet, I get it. He was horribly embarrassed at the start of his all important high school years, and to make himself feel better he lashed out.
Blair has her own set of issues, and one of them is not being honest, she does it because she is afraid. To make this story more interesting, Blair comes back for her senior year hot as all get out, and Sawyer can't believe she is his ex best friend. This is such a great story, with characters that just won't get out of their own ways to figure it out, but who does when they are a teenager and know everything? Told in dual pov, this is a great read if you like more mature YA. 


Foes & Cons is the latest full-length standalone novel by Carrie Aarons. It's a young adult best friends-to-enemies-to-lover's romance that I absolutely loved. This is, hands down, Carrie's best work to date. Told in dual perspectives, get ready to meet Sawyer Roarke and Blair Oden.

Sawyer and Blair have been best friends for years, but then at sixteen, everything changed. It starts with a pros and cons list that she wasn't supposed to see and ends with a game of seven minutes in heaven gone wrong. Now their once unbreakable bond is destroyed and all that's left is their simmering hate for one another.

After two years of dealing with his torture and pranks, Blair has had enough. It's her senior year and she's determined to make the most of it. The summer away changed her. She is now sexier and more confident than ever. Sawyer can't help but to notice and after a truth is revealed, he is determined to win her heart and make up for all of that wasted time.

I devoured this highly addictive and well written story in just a couple of hours. Blair and Sawyer's love story made my heart happy in the end. Their happily ever after was well worth all of the ups and downs along the way. A super quick read, I enjoyed everything about this angsty, fun and exciting read. Five stars for Blair, Sawyer and Foes & Cons!

But what Lincoln can’t see coming is the beatdown I have planned for his ice-cold heart. Unfortunately, what I never saw coming was the one he had planned for mine.  

     

Review:
Wow! This book... Where to start? Fool Me Twice blew my expectations out of the water. It was angsty, wholly intense, steamy, wonderfully written and emotionally explosive. I smiled. I laughed, and I cried. And let me tell you this... It delivered in EVERY WAY! From the very start I was hooked, furiously flipping the pages and devouring this all in one day.

Henley and Catherine have been best friends since the early age of three. When Catherine's cancer returns for the third time, they realize the end is near. So what does she do? She makes a bucket list and the two set off to see it through. Only Catherine dies before she is able to do them all. So it falls on Henley to finish the rest in order to honor her memory.

The last item on the list is a doozy... To get revenge on Lincoln Kolb for breaking her best friend's heart. But Henley comes up with the perfect plan... To get his attention, play hard to get and to rock his world in the bedroom. To make him fall in love with her only for her to break his heart. And everything is going as planned until she starts falling for him too. But is she willing to choose him over the best friend she ever had? And how will he react when he discovers her plans for him?

"Henley Rowan came into my life like a meteor, destroying anything that came before her and changing the landscape of my life forever after."

Overall, I am in awe of this author and her way of telling a story. From start to finish, it was addicting, intoxicating, heart-wrenching and delicious. I absolutely loved it, and I can't wait for you to love it too! Henley and Lincoln are going to blow you away. So what are you waiting for? Go grab this book and READ!

  Excerpt:
Look at him, strutting through campus like he’s got his dick in his hand, and every girl wants a taste. Jesus Christ, he’s preening more than a world-class peacock. I pull my sunglasses down to the bridge of my nose, peering over them as Lincoln Kolb swaggers his way through the Warchester Campus quad. There are two other bros flanking him, big beefy guys who wear the same smug, shit-eating grins as their leader. How the guy is already a legend, by the way guys fist bump him and girls fawn as he walks by, escapes me. It’s like that scene in Beauty and the Beast when Gaston sweeps into town. All of his idiotic, adoring fans practically crawl on their knees in his wake. Only this time, Lincoln Kolb may be their god, but I’m here to bring him crashing back down to earth.

The Lion Heart by Carrie Aarons




Release Blitz

Title: The Lion Heart (Rogue Academy, Book Two)
Author: Carrie Aarons
Genre: Sports Romance, New Adult
Date: September 15, 2019
 Designed by Sarah Hansen at Okay Creations

Blurb


He’s supposed to be the ruler of this kingdom.

The prince poised to take his rightful place on the pitch.
Instead, he plays the jester, shunning his legacy.
Only I am privy to his lion heart.

Kingston Phillips is the heir to England’s football dynasty. The offspring of two of the world’s greatest players, the expectations set on his shoulders could crush the universe. But the golden-haired Adonis chooses to live his life as a game; a series of nightclubs, brawls, pranks and different kit chasers parading through his sheets.

I’m the last woman he should chase, and I’ve told him so. My cheeky mouth and icy demeanor guard the secret no one can learn. But when the Casanova I’ve been avoiding becomes the bloke next door, he quickly begins to thaw the frost around my heart. Kingston shows me the ferocious, loyal, protective side of himself that no one else gets to witness.

I begin to realize that he’s just as damaged as I am.
That as much as I try to deny it, we’re the same.
And ... that might just be our undoing.

Review

The Lion Heart is the second book in the Rogue Academy series featuring Kingston and Poppy. Technically the books in this series can be read as standalones, but it is my opinion that your reading experience will be richer and fuller if you start with the first book and read them in order.

I absolutely loved everything about Kingston and Poppy. Their chemistry was fiery hot, sparking right off the page and practically crackling in the air around them. This couple was positively electric together, and Carrie did an incredible job of capturing that chemistry and conveying that to the reader. I fell in love right along with Kingston and Poppy. They were that couple, the one you can't help but root for, the one that you want together as much as they want to be together. They had their fair share of issues to work through, so it wasn't exactly smooth sailing the whole way, but I found that I really enjoyed this relationship's build up. The side characters were great, and they added dimension and depth, rounding out this story from something fantastic into something truly special.

Carrie's writing is sharp and smart, and she writes romances that are genuine and sexy within stories that are relationship rich between the romance and the supporting friendships in the background. She has an incredible gift for telling difficult, powerful and gripping stories, drawing the reader into them with a vivid, rich and dynamic plot. I loved everything about this book, and I finished it with a smile on my face and a full, happy heart.

Book Blurb:
They call him the second coming. Of honor for British football. Of God in an athlete’s body. Of every English woman’s fantasy.
Jude Davies is my country’s prodigy on the pitch. More famous than the nobility in Buckingham Palace, he and his merry band of scoundrels rule the Rogue Football Academy and the London nightlife scene alike. And now, he’s aiming his well-honed set of skills directly at me. His devilish charm is lethal, but with the tragic hand life has dealt me, distractions like him aren’t an option. Plus, we’re only playing a game. One of convenience, where he needs me to save his reputation, and I need his money to save the one person I love. Until he wraps me around that immoral finger. Until I crave that reckless, wild high he provides. Until I hope for a future that will never happen. That’s the thing about going toe-to-toe with the next football legend. He’s faster, stronger, and will destroy me every time.

Review:
GAH! I absolutely loved this story! It was highly entertaining with the perfect mix of steam, angst and drama. The characters were well portrayed with enjoyable dialogue. The writing was top-notch and engaging. I was hooked from the very first page, lost in the world of the Rogue Football Academy.

The Second Coming follows the story of Jude Davies who is a football legend in the making. He is the academy's golden boy who is sexy, loaded, charming and a bit reckless. He and his band of buddies seem to stir up trouble wherever they go. Then everything changes the day he meets her. 

Aria is beautiful, compassionate, independent and so different from all of the other girls. Not only is she good for Jude's image, but he just can't seem to stay away. The only problem? She's got a lot on her plate and distractions like him are out of the question. Will he be able to wear her down? 

They say that opposites attract and let me tell you, these two couldn't be any more different. I absolutely loved them. They were the perfect pair with scorching hot chemistry and playful banter. The dynamic between them was wonderfully done and the sexual tension so palpable from the start.

Overall, The Second Coming was a quick, easy and enjoyable read. A great start to this new series by the immensely talented Carrie Aarons. Now having read this, I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next because I. NEED. MORE!
