Series: When Rivals Play
Author: BB Reid
Release Date: April 22

They were wrong for each other from the start.
The jock and the nerd, what a cliché they made.
He was the town prince, and she was a nobody.
Tyra Bradley was invisible.

That is until she told him he needed some manners, and so began their game of cat and mouse.

She ran, he chased.
It was perfect.

Except Vaughn Rees has a deep, dark secret. Promised to the NFL, but fated for something sinister, Vaughn knows she’s forbidden fruit. To want more is to tempt death. He’s already in too deep.

When a betrayal unravels their fragile ties, the good girl runs as fast as she can. What Tyra doesn’t know? They’re a siren’s song. She can run, but they’ll always be bound.

They’re two souls torn apart and mended by fate. And now…Vaughn isn’t the only one with a secret.

Oh my goodness! Where do I even begin with this one?

I have been waiting for Vaughn's story for what seems like forever! I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. And although it is a standalone, it is best to read these books in series order.

From the beginning, Vaughn and Tyra were wrong for each other. He was a jock and playboy. She was a nerd, and inexperienced. He was the town prince, and she was invisible. Them being together was a cliche, but when they began their game of cat and mouse, she ran, and he chased. It was perfect. Except for the dark secret that loomed over Vaughn. He was fated for something far more sinister. But Tyra was like a forbidden fruit. To want more with her was like tempting death. When a betrayal unravels their fragile ties together, Tyra flees. But no matter how fast or far the good girl runs, they will always be bound together, two souls broken and mended through fate... And now Vaughn isn't the only one with a secret.

Vaughn was the town prince. Rich, good looking, and could get away with murder. No one dared say no to Vaughn Rees. He got anything he wanted. So when he laid his eyes on Tyra, she became his next conquest, beginning their game of Cat and Mouse. Tyra was the good girl, the nerd, and innocent. So what did Vaughn, a notorious playboy want with her? She was good through and through. Until Vaughn chased her away, he finds out just how bad he corrupted her. When he lays his eyes on her again, can they reconcile for their past mistakes, or was the betrayal, and the built up secrets and lies become too much to move past?

if you like your guys with assholishness, that are rich, playboys, jocks, and have dark secrets. Good nerdy girls, who can hold her own and challenge the guys, then you need to get your hands on this book. You will love Vaughn and Tyra's story. It was dark, twisted, and full of secrets, lies, and betrayal. The perfect ending to the When Rivals Play series. 5 fated ⭐'s out of 5⭐.
