All I Want (Alabama Summer #2) by J. Daniels -->Starting February 20th 2020

[Aly]

Luke Evans is a heartbreaker.
I didn’t want to give mine to him. Not when he kept me out.
He gave me enough, just enough to make me fall in love with him. I say this to convince myself. But I know the truth.
I would’ve fallen in love with him at a distance.
Handing my heart over to Luke was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I was naive when I wished for more, when I hoped he wanted the same things I did.
I try to hate him. I try to forget him.
But it’s not that easy.
Love is a ruthless bitch, and I’m her latest victim.
~*~
Tessa Kelly is a man-eater.
When she sets her sights on you, she doesn’t just consume your heart, she goes for your soul.
What we had was perfect, real, and all I would ever want.
But she destroyed it.
She destroyed us.
I try to hate her. I try to forget her.
But it’s not that easy.
Love is for people who have hope, and I have none.

Okay, why is this a different date from YA? I read it already lol
ch 6 (view spoiler)[ Tyler seems sketchy, I think he just wants to hook up and might not take no for an answer. It was messed up that Tessa saw Luke getting a bj at the party, ew. I hate things like that, it really makes me not like the guy. (hide spoiler)]
ch 12 (view spoiler)[ Wow Tyler almost killed her! I'm so glad Luke came for her and saved her. And them hooking up is great! The neighbor needs to let it go, Luke flat out told her he wasn't interested and she's still in his bed? Are you crazy? (hide spoiler)]
ch 17 (view spoiler)[ The Australian guy, Mason maybe?, is cute but Tessa and Luke belong together. I feel bad that his dad doesn't care about him and would rather drink than care about anyone else. (hide spoiler)]
finished (view spoiler)[ I don't like that Luke left, thinking Tessa was better off without him. I hate it when people do that. I'm glad she left those voicemails and got his dad in rehab. The ending was sweet (hide spoiler)]

I thought the same thing as you did about Luke (view spoiler)[Getting the blowjob at a party that people can see that is gross and he seems like a big player and I too think he is bad news. (hide spoiler)]

Yes! Gross

[Thereadingbell]

(view spoiler)[ Omg that Tyler guy was insane he could of definitely killed Tess. I was like wholly shit stuff is getting crazy. Luke arrived just in time. I am already tiring though of the cat and mouse game Tess and Luke are playing with each other. They both like each other. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Mason is the one Tessa goes out with. I do not know about this whole thing with Tessa and Luke. She seems so desperate and throwing herself at him even though Luke has feelings as well. This is truly an abusive relationship not physically abusive but so much of this story makes me cringe. Tessa acting so desperate it is sad and when they do get together it is rough not beautiful it is frustrated sex. I hate weak women who do not value themselves to throw themselves at some man that is so cocky they do not truly care. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[I thought it was cool that Tessa helped Luke's father to get himself treatment for alcoholism. I still do not like Tess and Luke's relationship it was imo borderline abusive. When someone tell's you 100 times they are not interested and the women keeps throwing herself at the man it is sad. It makes her looks weak, desperate and stalkish. (hide spoiler)]
