Review: ENJOYABLE BUT CLICHED
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is a straight forward classic romance, between the feisty heroine Payton Archer, and tattooed bad boy Nick Hawke. When Payton drives into the back of Nicks car on the way to watch a street race. She has no idea this gorgeous guy is one of the drivers in the race. Nick is friends with Jessie Boone the hero from the first book. Jessie warns Nick to stay away from Payton, she's not the usual type of girl he hooks up with. But that's easier said than done.This is a pleasant enough read if a bit cliched. Both Nick and Payton are eighteen. He is from a poorer family, unlike Payton whose parents are rich, and will definitely disapprove of Nick. This is quite explicit sex wise. Which surprised me, as the first book Going Under was not. The characterisation is very good I really felt that I got to know Nick and Payton, and the side characters. The story was fairly straight forward, with one of Nick's ex-girlfriends trying to cause trouble. I might have given this a higher rating but it lacked that extra spark for me. And I am getting a little tired of the bad boy who has been through loads of women always landing the virgin! I certainly wasn't convinced that eighteen year olds would discuss marriage and having babies quite so much. Plus the story had too many similarities to the first book. But overall this was okay.
