Bobby Beckerson was the American All-Star hockey player--he
was the spitting image of perfection to his family. Goofy, sweet and undeniably
gorgeous, he had everything but the one girl he wanted: River Ahlers.
River Ahlers is successful in everything but love. She's been in love with Adam Beckerson since they were kids. Worst of all she's stuck right in the middle of the brother's dueling over everything and anything, and she doesn't even know she's the ultimate prize.
Adam Beckerson was a boy with a guitar, a smile that sunk girl's hearts and a stone wall around his own. He was anything but perfect, and no matter how hard he tried he was nothing compared to Bobby. Sweet, damaged, with boyish good-looks, nobody thought Adam loved anyone but himself.
Bobby loved River, River loved Adam and Adam only loved himself--or so everyone thought. Then one night everything changes, and as it threatens to destroy everyone involved a tragedy strikes that will break them all...
GENRE: New Adult Contemporary Romance
4 Star Review by Cybil
What happens when the girl next door grows into a beautiful woman with brothers as best friends? Flawed Perfection!
This is the start of a great series that could potentially rip your heart out and will leave you wondering where this tragic story is going to go and what bumps are we going to hit on our way to the destination.
River grew up next door to Adam and Bobby Berkerson. As an adult she continued to live next door to the men she considered her best friends. As with all male/female realtionships Bobby loves River and River loves Adam. These brothers are the difference of night and day. Bobby is the athletic muscle bound blond god and Adam is the sensitive, artsy, music oriented type.
The brother parents have always prefered Bobby to Adam. Bobby was the all star hockey player, and all American boy. Adam is the tattooed, pierced musical teacher. Everything is a competition for Bobby, including winning the affection of River.
For River it has always been Adam. She has been in love with him since she was 16, hiding her feelings and suffering through his girlfriends waiting for her chance to come. She know Bobby is infactuated with her but she just does not share his feelings. Finally she has her chance with Adam, finding out he has wanted her all along. When he starts to express his feelings you will swoon!
His mother hates her, his brother wants her and he doesn't think he's good enough for her.
River is kind of selfish, and a tease. I am not going to say she led Bobby on by making him believe that he had a chance, but I also don't think she made it clear enough that he was friend zoned only. Bobby is extremely thick headed, and somewhat immature. Even when he is dating River's friend Tara he is still vying for River's attention.
This book will leave you heartbroken at the end, it will leave you wondering if people can ever reach their happily ever after, and wondering what the future holds. I will definetly be waiting for the next in the series.
