I can't get enough! I didn't really start reading book 1 until Sunday. It's 5:00 a.m. Wednesday morning, and I'm ready for book 4! I actually have to take a break for an ARC, but rest assured I will be jumping right into Twist when I'm finished. I need to know what happens next! I feel sorry for myself already, because I know when I'm finished reading the fourth installment, I'm going to want to 5th one desperately. ...more
If Kova was real, my ass would be in jail. Fuccckkk. This book is still so damn good though! 5 stars all the fucking way! I have an ARC of something eIf Kova was real, my ass would be in jail. Fuccckkk. This book is still so damn good though! 5 stars all the fucking way! I have an ARC of something else, but I HAVE TO fit some of book 3 in. I can't wait. I can't imagine the pain everyone felt that read these books as they came out. Thank God I can binge through book 4, because that's exactly what I intend to do. I have a feeling this series might wind up being one of my favorites of the year. ...more
2.5 stars I read this the day it came out, but I didn't rate it right away. I loved Scoring Wilder.

I have liked all the books that I have read by this author in the past. That's why I was surprised that I didn't love this one.
I read Out of Bounds straight through, because the author has a great writing style. It was easy to get caught up in the story. I liked the female friendships in this book. The main characters, Brie and Erik, have great sexual tension. The problem is that Erik is a complete asshole. I love hate to love romances. I love the "bad boy" trope. This guy just had no redeeming qualities. His character doesn't develop over the course of the story. He is awful to Brie until the last little bit of the book.
There is a scene that takes place in this book that is more risqué than anything else R. S. Grey has written previously. I usually have no problem with that type of scene. It felt wrong here, for multiple reasons. One being Erik is such a dick to Brie afterwards. That is never explained. The whole thing was sprung on her last minute. She hadn't even been intimate with him yet. I could go on, but it made no sense to me. Then to have him be cruel to her afterward made it worse.
Brie seemed like an idiot to me, because she keeps going back to him for more. Why? I can't see any other reason than that he is hot. She is an Olympian. She could scrounge up another hot guy easily.
Their story never felt like love to me which made the ending feel unbelievable. There wasn't enough transition between him being cruel to her to wanting a future with her. The emotional connection didn't feel real enough. I wanted to love this, but I just disliked the characters too much....more
