Zach and his "sweet pea" Calliope!

THIS BOOK WAS EVERYTHING!!!

Childhood friends turned lovers turned scorned exes CHECK.

Asshole athletes CHECK.
Heartbreak and angst DOUBLE CHECK,
So much sexual tension that it made my goddamn ovaries burst TRIPLE CHECK,

"Calliope James was woven into my soul, A dark stain that no matter what I did, who I fucked, I couldnt get rid of.
”

This follows the story of Zach, who we got a glimpse of in the last book of the Wicked Bay series.
Zach first met Calliope James when they were just/years old and they instantly bonded through their roles of being the black sheep and overlooked member of their family.
They both definitely had daddy/brother issues, and thus they formed a friendship that allowed them to express themselves freely.
Coming from a basketball family both of them vowed they wanted nothing to do with it in the future.


Soon their friendship turned into something more and they were each other's first everything.
But then call it what you want in my humble opinion a colossal fucking mistake from Zach causes their relationship to break down and turn into something ugly.


Zach believes he's been betrayed, whilst Callie is left hurt and abandoned,

They should have never crossed paths again until fate intervened,

Zach's basketball god of a brother gets into an accident and falls into a coma, which means Zach has to transfer colleges and take his place on the team.
Callie's mother passes away from cancer and her last dying wish is for Callie to mend her relationship with her father and estranged brother so she goes to the same college as him.


Enter the scene you're attending your first college party and who do you run into Of course, it's the ex that broke your heart into tiny little pieces.


Zach was an absolute dickhead to Callie okay I sorta understand but dude, anyone with eyes can tell you STILL love the girl.
Callie stayed strong despite Zach's assholery and matched his ire right back, The book explored not just their broken and scarred relationship but also the one between their families.


This book made me angry, smile, cry, and want to pop out Zachary Messiah's babies lmao.
If you have a thing for asshole male characters like me then deffo give this a go!

The only reason it's not a fullis that I wish there was a little bit more groveling.
I'm a whore for men who take responsibility for their behavior and in this case I just wanted a tiny bit more from Zach.

"Love wasn't real.
It was a lie people told themselves to feel better, Love didn't make a person strong, it made them weak, It made them vulnerable. If you weren't careful, love had the power to ruin you, "

I have read so many genres by L, A. Cotton and seriously, this woman excels in each one of them, but for a reason, I love her sports romances the most!!!
This was a very beautiful story, full of pain, heartache, friendship, and second chances!!!
It was an amazing story leading to recovery cause both of our heroes souls were damaged and maybe they just needed each other to pull them out of their despair!!!

"Didn't anyone tell you, love and hate are just the same emotions experienced in different ways"

Back then, Calliope and Zach were best friends.
. . They had found something strong that was connecting them, . . The hatred for the game, A game that was bringing too many problems to both of their lives in the form of resentment from their own family.
. .
Zach and Calli had something beautiful that was breeding between them, . . They were friends, but they become something more and they witnessed something unique to growing up between them.

But then one day, everything that they built together wrecked down and that left Calli heartbroken and Zach full of hatred.
. .

"Zachary Messiah, My first best friend. My first love. My first everything. Including the worst heartache I'd ever experienced, "

Now, Calli's life is changing for once again, She just felt the biggest loss on her life and still, she is trying to fullfill a promise.
. .
Now, a new chapter is starting for her on Steinbeck U and even though she knows that in there there would be so much basketball and a person of her past, she has no other choice.
. .
The only thing that she wasn't expecting was for a second person of her past to be there as well.
. .
Zach is here. Zach whom Calli still couldn't get over, But this man doesn't resemble the boy with hearts in his eyes, . . Now, he has flames burning his stare,

"One thing was for certain though, Zach my Zach was gone, It was easier to think of my Zach and this Zach, the cold cruel boy with arrogance in his eyes and hatred in his heart, as two completely different people.
"

Zachary Messiah has his own cross to bare, even though someone could characterize him like the King of SU.
The captain of the basketball team, The guy that everyone would love to be him, The girls are falling on his feet, but he is cold and detached, He just wants to fullfill his promise and to get over with it, His heart and soul is bleeding and when Calliope is appearing on his turf, he is starting to lose his mind.
He hates her, but still, . . She is getting under her skin and he doesn't really knows what to do, . .

"I wanted to hurt her, To punish her and ruin her, I wanted to break her, It wasn't healthy, the feelings she invoked in me, Feelings that had once been pure and good, now tainted with pain and darkness and betrayal.
"

The sure thing is that this story was a giant mess in every aspect, not only in the romance part.
. .
There was so much angst and wild heartbeating in each encounter between Zach and Calli and I was anticipating like crazy to find out the reasons that lead them to be apart.
. .
Of course, there were people in here that were causing unnecessary drama and that was making the plot even more interesting!!!

"You can't let me go, just like I can't let you go.

So the question is, . . what are we going to do about it"

Zach and Calli were meant to be, but there have happened too many things between them.
It's hard to find their way back to each other, They have too many work to do, especially from Zach's part, since he was out for blood.

The guy that Calli once knew didn't exist anymore and it was sad to witnesss what he had become, but i totally understand him.
. . There was a heavy load upon his shoulders, The expectations of others were killing him slowly, and he was feeling helpless, but that doesn't justify the way he was treating Calli in the beginning.
But hell, his slips out from time to time were so wonderful to see,

"The harsh reality was, Calliope James was under my skin, She'd never left. But all the love I'd once felt for her was now something else entirely, Something darker and volatile. An unpredictable storm brewing beneath the surface, If she kept pushing me, I'd snap, And if I snapped nothing good would happen, . . For either of us. "

As for Calliope She was an amazing creature who was kind of lost.
She just needed some peace after everything that had happened to her life, And she might needed Zach, in all his twisted and mean glory to pull her out of her funk.

Yes!!! These two were fitting perfectly and I really enjoyed their story,

"My chest squeezed at his name, It always did. It probably always would. I fugured first love was supposed to leave that kind of mark, An everlasting stain on your soul, But I'd underestimated just how much it would affect me still every time I heard his name.
"

Hell! There were so many other people that i loved in here and I would love to read their stories one day.
. . Josie and Brad were amazing persons and honestly, I would love to read more of them.
. . I liked Joel, even though he was very narrowminded in some matters, And I liked Callum, even though he was a big duchebag to Calli, but at the end, he was really trying and I loved him for that!!!
Also, Maverick Prince!!! OMG!!! I need to read this story!!! He was the best!!!

"We were two lost souls, vying for attention, desperate to feel worthy and wanted.
And we'd found that in each other, "

I received an ARC for the exchange of an honest review.
stelle
La storia di Zach e Callie ti prende dall'inizio con la sua intensità e ti commuove, non riesci a staccarti dalla lettura, due migliori amici che s'innamorano, per poi allontanarsi senza che Callie capisca perché o insista per saperlo si ritrovano nello stesso college, tutti e due stanno passando un momento difficile, Zach non è più lo stesso ragazzo, la rabbia ha preso il sopravvento dentro di lui, anche Cally è cambiata un grande dolore ha forgiato il suo carattere.
. .
Tra i due sono fuochi d'artificio, ci sarà per loro una seconda possibilità Si vedranno per ciò che sono veramente Zach riuscirà a vedere oltre la rabbia che lo sta divorando
Li ho amati tanto, anche se Zach avrebbe meritato una padellata in testa ogni tanto.

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: sitelinkABSTRACT BOOKS





“On the Rebound” is a standalone by the author L.
A. Cotton. Told in dual perspectives , get ready to meet Zach and Calli!!

I still remember the first time I read a prologue or bonus scene of this book in the Halloween Anthology.
I went absolutely nuts to get my hands on this masterpiece!! I marked it there and then on my calendar , and added it to my TBR!! The amount of anticipation I had for this one was immeasurable!

Zach and Calli were everything my soul hoped for and so much more! The book had an edge to it that only Laine can provide and it was absolutely mindblowing! The starting was perfect , the ending was fabulous and dont even get me started on that angst!!!



Calliope is excited to be away from her town.
From a family who never cared for her and the only person who cared for her is now dead , she is the loneliest person in the world.
Her plans of a fresh start go into the gutter when she meets the eyes of her first love and heartbreak in her first college party.
Zach was everything to Calli, He was her best friend and her first love, The boy who she had fallen in love with and been with was now a man who hated her with every fiber of his being.
And was hell bent on making her pay for something that she has no idea she did.
His words cut like knives and his actions shred her heart, That does not mean he is stopping , the boy who once cherished her so much was now hell bent on destroying her soul.




Calliope was everything to Zach, The one girl he would have died for, That is until she betrayed him, Now he knows that no matter how tempting she is from the outside , from the inside she will always be a snake.
And this time , he is not stopping until she pays for her betrayal, She can stay here in the college with him but that does not mean he is going to make it easy for her.


The whole story was perfect and I dived into this one as soon as it landed on my kindle!! A definite recommendation

to all the contemporary romance lovers out there! If you are into themes like second chase , bully romance and enemieslovers romance then there is no chance that you should miss this masterpiece! It is my suggestion that you read the Bonus scene of Halloween night before reading this book , so youll understand how everything turns out.
