Disclosure of Material Connection:   I received this book for review from Give Me Books PR and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising". 


BLURB:

Two years ago, Reed Jackson betrayed Calliope Thorne and broke her heart. So she stole his most prized possession – a white mustang – and drove it into the lake for revenge.

Now, Callie is stuck at a reform school while Reed is off at college, living his life without repercussions.

Until he comes back.

With him comes back all the feelings that Callie has been trying to bury: anger and heartbreak.

But most of all, desire. At the sight of his beautiful but lying lips and his gunmetal gray eyes that still taunt and smolder when he looks at her.

Whatever though. It's not as if Callie is ever going to fall for her ex-boyfriend again. Or let him corner her in a bar one night and touch her, kiss her…

Neither is she going to kiss him back. Or worse, sleep with him.

Because that would make her naïve and foolish.

Oh, and also pregnant.

And there's no way Callie is ever going to get pregnant at eighteen and with Reed's baby, no less. The guy she hates.

The guy who taught her all about heartbreak. Who might look like a gorgeous hero but really is the villain of her story.

Note: This is a STANDALONE novel set in the world of St. Mary’s. There is no cheating in this book.

My Thoughts:

It is important that you read the Wild Mustang & The Dancing Fairy first.  The author was nice enough to include that prequel inside this book.  It gets you ready for the main event. 


Callie is lucky to have brothers looking out for her.  We get her impressions of those around her.  One specific person of interest is Reed.  He seems to be the king that lords over everyone in his circle.  By the time you get to the end of the prequel, you should have some understanding of who some of the characters in this series are.  Also, if you have not read My Darling Arrow, you may want to check that book out at some point. 


In Gorgeous Villain, Callie’s past has caught up with her.  Reed seems to be someone that has a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other.  The author made it interesting for me because I started with one perception and ended with another. 


These two characters just seem like worlds apart.  One is sunshine but when the other comes into the scene it’s like the sun disappears and a storm is brewing.  So you keep reading to see if the sun will come out again for them or if the storm will overrule.    


This quickly became addictive.  There was plenty of emotion on both sides – both good and bad.  It ends up with me wanting to know how things are going to end.  You may end up not wanting to be interrupted for anything.  There are two things that I came to look forward to once I reach the end.  The first is the next book in the series – I'm not sure I can wait until December though.  Something else is waiting to see if there will be an audio version.  I loved the audio version of My Darling Arrow so I’m hoping for a repeat here.  With Arrow’s book, I said that I prefer the audio version.  With this book, I think our author has changed my mind – I think I need both versions if available.
