Beautiful. Psychotic. Stalker. Thatcher Reed is unhinged. I’ve known that since he held me captive in a cabin at twelve years old. We were both left with the scars from that summer but pardon me for not having sympathy for my kidnapper. Lovely. Savage. Devil. It took years and countless therapy sessions to finally move on from Thatcher, only for me to find myself within his reach again. I’m known all over the world for selling out concert halls and arenas, and when I receive threats on my life, I thought hiding out at Pembroke University as a student would be my solace. It ends up being the place where my previous captor hails supreme. Thatcher’s a god to this place, whether he’s on the football field or not. He and his circle of friends are collegiate royalty, and it turns out he’s just as untouchable now as he was when we were kids. Thatcher Reed has gone from a disturbed twelve-year-old to a campus king to these people… And he unfortunately… hasn’t forgotten me.

OMG!! Thatcher Reed grabs ahold of you and never lets go! That's mostly a good thing, but he is protective and determined that no one is getting in the way of what he wants. The thing is, he doesn't always get the agreement of those he seeks to protect in that way. So when Aspen starts to push back against his control, Thatcher is both annoyed and even more determined to get her to accept what he believes to be a foregone conclusion: them.
Both of these characters have past trauma and reading how they worked it out including with each other was an emotional rollercoaster. Poor Thatcher, I just wanted to squish him so hard sometimes, but then he'd do something stupid and make me growl at him! Are they toxic sometimes? Yes! But it doesn't diminish the fire between them either and I was there for every minute!
Thatcher Reed, ughh, he is my second favorite guy!! He is so great!! I was consumed by his and Apsens' story. I couldn't get enough ! Eden has always had a way with word and world building, and she did not disappoint ! 5 stars because that's all it allowed!
