Victor Morgan hides from the public whenever he can. It's not that he's a recluse; he hides to avoid rumors and throngs of teen girls throwing themselves at him because of his fame. When his team of friends is assigned a job at a new school, it's his one chance to finally be just Victor; not a local celebrity, or that guy whose parents have a huge house and lots of money. He wants to be normal, to be able to blend in and not worry about what everyone else is thinking or what they may want from him.
Things change when he meets Sang Sorenson. She's beautiful and clever, though she hides her intelligence behind a veil of shyness and insecurity. But with just a look, she makes him say the stupidest things.
Only things are wrong in her world. She's hiding something dark and terrible, the evidence of it in her haunted eyes. He barely knows her, but he'd give everything to help and protect her. Whatever it takes to keep her safe, he's in.
Again, it's cute... The third party pov sucks ass... I mean, they wrote introductions in first person pov...hate that too but it's better than third party.... Why couldn't these books be in THEIR povs? Instead of being narrated.....
I loved Victor's entrance in Introductions. It was so hilarious, and this short story had some funny scenes, too. He was also a lot more analytical than I thought he'd be, and I enjoyed reading his thoughts. His connection with Kota and their ability to converse just by giving each other looks is something I'll always admire, and I think Victor is just a really interesting character in general. He's so sweet, but he's always super funny and playful, which I adore. I also liked how this showed his vulnerable side. He really wants people to see him for who he really is, and he wants Sang to do that. His tripping over his words in an attempt to let Sang warm up to him was also really funny and adorable.
I feel like they didn't have much of Victor, though. Like, this short was supposed to be about him, but they didn't reveal too much of his character. I want more. He's one of my favorites of the boys, and I still don't know as much about him. His chapter in Introductions didn't have much going on, so his POV is super short. What a bummer.
I only noticed a few writing errors. Nothing much. I was really happy to be able to read this and see things from his perspective. I only thought it was much too short and was left wanting for more. 😉 Can't wait to continue on!
So I was like... Hmm, I feel like a Sang and the gang fix. I wonder if there's anything new to read... So I checked and quickly found this little beauty!!
I love that this author releases these bonuses at random. It makes the wait for the next book slightly less painful.
I like reading anything from the guys perspectives and I look forward to reading them all as they come out. Was this the best thing ever? Nah. But I ain't complaining. It was free and it gave me my fix.
All this reminiscing about Sang first meeting each of the guys just makes me want to go and reread all the books. Also, it is interesting to read about the guys and their lives before they met Sang. I mean, for example, I had no idea that people were constantly trying to sneak into Victor's property or about his inner thought toward all the attention he's getting and how he's always worried about being photographed. I don't remember him being so insecure. And "Luke duty". That was funny. I guess now Sang is the one who gets Luke duty, isn't she? Not that she minds terribly
Meeting Sang: Victor was definitely better than Kota's story. I think it's because we already had more information on Kota than we did Victor. I had only read Introductions when I read this and didn't know anything about Victor other than what was presented there. Maybe there's more in later main series books? For me this was a nice way to learn more about him, as well as seeing their meeting from his perspective.
As I said in my last review, I can't wait to read the other books!
I have gotten very into reading Reverse Harem novels lately becasue of this series. It's super hard to find decent ones that don't just read like fan fiction and this series is quite good actually. This series is really good though, it is slow to develop but that allows for more books in the series which is a good thing. Both the characters and the story are fully fleshed out and well written. I'm enjoying becoming invested in this world and pleased that I discovered this author.
I love how these mini books are all about how each of the first boys felt when meeting Sang and all the feels that went along with their first interactions with her.
It is as nice seeing Victor's perspective of the whole meeting. Specially since their meeting was so weird and funny. It was fun. Can't wait for Silas.
I loved getting that little snippet into victor. I knew his dad sucked but I didn’t realize just how much. Victor is amazing!!!! I think he’s one of my top favorites.
