Oh my goodness! How could anyone not love Patrick Hayward? He's a charming, charismatic flirt. He's drop dead gorgeous. He's always dressed to the nines. He's generous, considerate, and honest. And most importantly, he's cocky, sarcastic, and hysterical. He's the total package. He's completely irresistible.I started to fall in love with Patrick in the Eden Trilogy by Nicole Williams, but I completely fell head over heels in love with him in Fissure, the first of two novels in The Patrick Chronicles by Nicole Williams.Patrick has always been a ladies man. In the Eden Trilogy, where readers were first introduced to him, Patrick is laid back, carefree flirt. He likes women, and he has no desire to settle for only one when he can have them all. However, as time goes on, he starts to fall for his brother William's girlfriend, Bryn. But at the end of the day, William and Bryn were meant to be together so Patrick winds up heartbroken and alone.Told from Patrick's point of view, The Patrick Chronicles is Patrick's journey to find love. At the beginning of Fissure, Patrick is still heartbroken over losing Bryn, but after some tough love from his family, Patrick makes a fresh start at Stanford. Feeling a little more like his old self, Patrick spends his days lounging around the quad, catcalling at women, until a certain long-legged beauty catches his eye and gives him a piece of her mind. Attracted like a moth to a flame, Patrick is determined to be in Emma's life, but Emma, her possessive boyfriend, and her protective older brothers don't make things easy for him.Patrick is one of my favorite fictional characters. I have nothing but amazing things to say about his character. He can do no wrong in my eyes. Emma is a great match for Patrick, but she's definitely not perfect. Ty, her long-term boyfriend, is the biggest d-bag ever. The fact that she picked the biggest loser ever (Ty) over the most amazing guy ever (Patrick), even for one day, made me question her judgement. However, toward the end of the novel, I began to understand Emma a lot better, and I forgave her for not shopping Ty's sorry butt sooner.I absolutely loved Fissure. Patrick and Emma are extremely entertaining. Patrick cracked me up, and Emma, who always had a come back ready for him, kept me laughing. There was something undeniably sweet and innocent about their love for one another. I am definitely rooting for them. It took a lot for Patrick and Emma to get their stuff together, and I can't wait to see how things play out for them in the next novel in this series.I gave Fissure (The Patrick Chronicles #1) by Nicole Williams 5 STARS. Read the Eden Trilogy, and then read this novel!-XOXOREADING, EATING AND DREAMINGFOR MORE REVIEWS CHECK OUT MY BLOG ON BLOGSPOT: READING, EATING & DREAMING I WAS BLAIR WALDORF.
