Challenge Corner discussion

Trey
I'm in love with my best friend's sister. Sometimes she lets me play, but she never lets me get close. Keeping my feelings locked down during our secret trysts is taking a toll on my heart and I'm tired of waiting for the next stolen moment. I'm done playing this dirty little game. I want Erin. She's mine and there's nothing I won't do to prove it.

She's not my for-now.
She's my forever.

If I have to take the reins to convince her, so be it. I'll show Erin what it's like to submit to the master of her heart.

Erin
I’m a single mom who doesn’t have time for love. Hell, I don't even have time to get my laundry done. I'm chaos in a carefully corked bottle, and I've put myself on a shelf for years. But when Trey is around, he pops my top in deliciously wicked ways.

Too bad a real relationship will never work. He's going places and I'm stuck in an everlasting spin cycle. When Trey comes to town for my brother's wedding, he flips my world upside down.

If this doesn’t work out, it'll crush more than my heart. He's not just my brother’s best friend, he’s someone my son looks up to. I need to keep the control, or this could all blow up in my face.

But Trey keeps taking charge…
And I like it.

Chapters 1 - 6

(view spoiler)[I didn't expect Erin and Trey to sort of already be in a relationship. I thought that this book would show how it develops from the start, but instead you're sort of dropped into the middle of their relationship. I don't mind that too much.

I'm finding it annoying how Erin and Trey both think contradictory thoughts. Erin doesn't want Trey, but then asks him to stay with her, then tells him to leave her. Trey obviously wants more from Erin, but then he thinks about how falling in love with her might ruin things for him (or something along those lines), then he goes back to trying to persuade her to give them a chance. It's frustrating.

I like that Glitch already knows as at least that won't be a conflict in the future.

It's convenient that Beetle is away at camp. I hope that he comes back before the end of the book as I want to see them all interacting with each other.

Chapters 7 - 12

(view spoiler)[I don't really like Erin, especially because of her constant back and forth with how she doesn't want to be with Trey but she doesn't want him to walk away.

Unfortunately, I feel like that's going to be happening for the rest of the book.

Chapters 13 - 18

(view spoiler)[I really liked how Glitch calls Erin out and I liked his talk with her.

Beetle is mentioned occasionally and briefly, mostly just to push the plot along somehow. His personality or relationships with Erin and Trey aren't shown.

I knew that Erin would distance herself from Trey again. I'm sick of it.

Chapters 19 - Epilogue

(view spoiler)[It felt like Erin was still not sure of what she wanted and it seemed like she was going to leave Trey at any moment.

I liked the reason for the nickname Trey came up with.
