Jamie Engel's Reviews > Pretty Girls Never Lie

I love SJ's hockey series so much and decided to give some of her other work a try. And let me just say I am a full SJ fan now. I loved this novella. I know this one comes at the end of this series, but it can be read as a stand alone. And now that I know a little bit about this world I want to go back and read the rest of this series.

This novella follows Brantley and Isla. She met him 4 years ago when he saved her life, while she watched her father get murdered. Fast forward 4 years, they are reunited at Saint Mary's summer school. I don't want to spoil too much since this is a shorter story but Isla is in a situation and Brantley after a bit of bullying is there for her again.

If you are not a fan of bully romance I do not think this is the series for you, as this one has some bullying elements to it. I wish that this story would of been longer or a full length book as I really enjoyed.
This story quick, but it's filled with so much heat, action, and suspense. I loved how Brantley's friends, the Rebels, were mentioned, and their group texts were awesome. Def makes me want to go back and read this series.

Thank you to SJ and team for the eARC.
