Synopsis
Sometimes in love, you choose wrong…
Eight years ago, Lennon lost his heart to Rain, and suddenly she’s back, all grown up and sexy as hell. At a sorority party, he convinces himself that outbidding every other guy for a body shot from Rain is for charity. But he knows better. He doesn’t want any guy, except him, tarnishing the memory of the little girl he proposed to in fifth grade.
Jinx loves Lennon and is past ready for him to make his move. With his sexual prowess, she worries why he hasn’t made any advances. She fears she is losing him, and the only way to keep him is to overcome her past and give him what he desires.
Rain knows Lennon is trouble. If she couldn’t say no to the gangly boy asking her to skateboard off some roof, how will she refuse Lennon’s seductive powers now that he is a man? Rain has many reasons to resist his charm. He has a girlfriend, he’s moving to LA with her, and Rain has no intention to march in the long parade of Lennon Tyler conquests.
Now, Lennon must choose. Someone has to lose, and that person could be him.
The Way I See It
Lennon’s Rain...SOOOOOO not what I was expecting. Let me start of by being BRUTALLY honest. I am a HUGE fan of JINX from Lennon’s Jinx...This went in a TOTALLY different direction and I was flippin sad! GAH!! I was beyond torn, typically I’m all for the love triangles they dont really bother me. I’m not sure if its cause there are two girls when there is usually two guys. I dunno?! What I do know is I fell madly in love with Jinx and I soooooo badly want her to find her HEA. Lennon has always loved Rain, in Lennon’s Rain its a matter of whether he will get to finally have her. One thing is for sure everyone KNOWS where Lennon's heart is. Even when he isn't quite sure himself.
L-iberated, doing something without his girlfriend Lennon feels like he may get into trouble.
E-ngaged, a long time ago a boy proposed to a girl only for her to break his heart.
N-ervous, Lennon keeps running into his past the only one who unnerves him is Rain and she keeps showing up everywhere.
N-eglected, Lennon has tried to go slow with Jinx but her self doubt and mistrust keeps pushing him away.
O-pinion, a compromising position will be the final piece of evidence and the nail in the coffin. As far as Lennon is concerned sides have been chosen.
N-ight, brings stalkers and luckily Rain knows how to take care of herself and what signs to look for.
S-urprise, Rain’s band has won, now a tour is in her future everything is finally coming together for her.
R-eality, is so different now, Lennon has been through so much and is right back at point A. Trusting his father to take care of Currie(his precious sister) is a scary fact.
A-pproach, Lennon’s past keeps haunting him he will not be a victim ever again.
I-ndependent, Rain wants to make a name for herself on her own, through hard work and merit she refuses to be another statistic.
N-ame, he wants her to take his...
Okay look I love Rain, I do. She is great with Currie and she knows Lennon without the extra effort. I am still friends with people I've known since Elementary School there is nothing on this planet that can measure up to that type of connection. Here is the deal, I love Jinx and I want her to be happy if that makes me you know "whatevs"...Then fine, I'll be "whatevs". I can’t help it Lennon may have met Rain in the 5th grade but I met Jinx first and I’m kind of
My Favs
Lennon
He is so complex and simple its mind boggling he was taught by the best how to raise and nurture a young one.(NOT HIS PARENTS) Rain was his whole life and heart she will always own him no matter the odds. I love Lennon because of his capacity of love the way he cares for his little sister is exemplary. I’m not even THAT good of a parent. ;) He is kind and loving and his heart has always belonged to one person. Nothing will change that, ever.
My Wish
Please OH Please will Jinx get her HEA?. I don’t care who its with? I want my girl with the amazing lungs and rocking hair to find love. Her life was nearly destroyed Lennon rescued Jinx from the abyss, its clear HE belongs to someone ELSE so CM I’m begging...Can we please see Jinx finally kiss HER prince? Please?
My Question
Whats up with that stalker? What ever happened with that paparazzi kid and that fire interview?

4.0 BodyShot, YouTube, GayBFF, Homophobe Father, Hypocryte father, Los Angeles, Chicago, Bleeding, Wine Stain, Civil Lawsuit, Alley Brawl, Diamond Ring, Choreographer Filled Stars! for a book with steamy scenes and forbidden love pick up the Lennon series.
My Mini thoughts
of
(Lennon's Girls #1)
I fell in absolute love with Jinx and Lennon! Bravo this was a great read, I'm so committed to Jinx I'm deathly afraid of the next book. I'll be honest the cover of this book doesn't really do it for me. Red and green are complimentary colors but to put them on the cover like that makes me think of Christmas. The story was great from the first page we get thrown into the action and I enjoyed that very much. Lennon has been through so much and he is nothing like what the groupies make him out to be. He loves his sister and takes care of every aspect of her life. Lennon is Currie's heart and vice versa. Jinx has spunk and is meant to be a rockstar, she has been through something traumatic and it has stunted her. Lennon seems to reach her in a way no on has before. Jinx is a rising star and I can't wait to see where she goes from here.
*WARNING*
I'm a little worried about the direction of the series but I'm going to continue to read it I look forward to everyone finding balance and peace in their lives.
My Rating
4.25 Fun, Navy Pier, Chicago Clubing, Red Hair, ex Boyfriend, Little Sister, Baby Kittens, Second Chances, Risk Taking filled stars! For a fun and engaging mature YA I highly recommend this book.

Look for her series RIPSTERS, a Young Adult, paranormal/mystery with the spark of romance, starting with DATE WITH THE DEAD.
Glad you enjoyed it this. I think I have the first book, I will have to check. It sounds like a great series.
ReplyDeleteI loved Lennon's Jinx and though I want to read this, the thought of Lennon breaking her heart has me very hesitant.
ReplyDeleteGreat review!
Thanks Andrea again for all your help. Don't worry about Jinx. My critique partners are ensuring I take care of her by the end of book 3.
DeleteThanks Ria for reading and reviewing both books. Jinx is a major character in the final story Lennon's Hope. She's an important part of Lennon's story and his overall growth.
