Another 5 star beautiful book from Hayden Hall! I went into this book expecting angst and enemies, but I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it has some push and pull, but the story is more of an emotional release than a fight. Roman…love him. I loved him in the first book, and he continues to shine in this one. Everett stole my heart with his personal battles. His demons are strong, but the connection with Roman is so much stronger. The support and understanding that the two show one another is beautiful. I loved seeing Everett brought into this group of found family. And the glimpses from other characters were just perfection.
The story itself tugged at my heartstrings. As an advocate myself, I connected with Roman and his need to fight for those he loves. The story only inspired me to do more, to join the frontlines, and that’s a powerful trait for a book. Every community needs a Mama Viv and a Neon Nights.
The sexy newcomer at Neon Nights hates me. I’m not too thrilled about him, either, except that those hungry eyes full of hateful desire do wild things to me.
I know I shouldn’t meddle with a closet case. Good Catholic boys are nothing but trouble and heartbreak.
Except that this Catholic boy is a foot taller and a foot wider, with dusty blond hair and piercing blue eyes. My legs turn to jelly whenever he comes near me. And all of a sudden, I’m messing around with the exact type of guy I should avoid. My time would be better spent protecting our safe space from demolition, but my obsession with Everett consumes my body and my soul.
If only things were as simple as all that.
Just when I think that Everett and I could have something a little like a future together, I discover who he really is. Everett Langley is the son and heir of the very man who is trying to build a luxury hotel after he ruins our neighborhood.
Neon Nights is at risk and I am never scared to be the first line of defense. But this time, standing up for the bar that shelters all the outcasts and runaways in the neighborhood means fighting the very person I am falling in love with.
Romeo vs Romeo is the second book in The Boys of Hudson Burrow Series. It’s a new adult romance featuring a good Catholic boy on the point of breaking, a rebel with a lot of kindness underneath the rough exterior, and a plot to destroy Neon Nights, the heart of the neighborhood. Romeo vs Romeo can be read on its own, but it’s much more enjoyable to read these books in order. This is Roman and Everett’s story.
