"Because I can't stay away from you. I'm trying, Four, believe me. I try so fucking hard, but you keep pulling me in." - Ever, The Peer and The PuppetShe weaves a journey that took me by surprise. Ever and Four have a magnetic pull, and they try hard to fight it. But we know better than to trifle with the fates.. Doing so just leaves one frustrated. Trust is tested. Lines may be crossed. But in the end, this pair was written in the stars. I mean, their ship name is FourEver, for crying out loud...
Bad ass gangbanger and a homeless virgin orphan. Quite the interesting combination which in any normal circumstances would never work, but for Lou and Wren, they're perfect for each other. Best friends to lovers, you're thrown into their worlds and the slow burn of sexual tension that builds with each passing chapter.
"I'm the moth to your flame, Lou. I'd rather be burned a thousand times than be free of you." - Wren, The Moth and The FlameWren's fierce, protective nature is one of the most beautiful things I've ever encountered - this man is truly like none other, and his heart was stolen by a beautiful young girl who tests his patience around every corner, with the mouth of a sailor and a bratty attitude.
The back and forth between these two was both frustrating and adorable. They are truly a Yin and Yang type pair - the perfect balance.
Jamie... Oh, Jamie... Tatted up boy who plays guitar and has piercings? Sign me up. Sass and humour for days, this boy slayed my heart and soul from the moment he was introduced to the world in The Peer and The Puppet.
"You're so beautiful. Did it hurt?" [...] "When you fell from heaven, Satan." - Jamie, The Punk and The PlaythingThis entire book is the epitome of "there's more than meets the eye". Bee and Jamie have a magnetic pull that is out of this world, but with all the hurt and pain each have endured, it seems nearly impossible that they'll ever get their happily ever after.
Lies, deceit, jealousy, anger, pain... This second chance romance has it all and I live for it. The back and forth, push and pull that these two have going on killed me. Both so ridiculously stubborn that it's not even funny, they fight like cats and dogs, but their love for each other (though hidden behind a veil of anger and betrayal) is ever present throughout the novel.
* Synopsis*
THE PUPPETBorrow the bike. Win the race. Collect the cash. It should've been an easy job. Ran out of town with a broken leg and a lawsuit, my mother's latest flame swoops in like a knight in gilded armor. Blackwood Keep is a place I don't belong, and I'm not the only one who knows. To the boy across the hall, my savior's only son, I'm a stray looking for a bone.
He's lord of the manor.
King of the academy.
And number one on my shit list.
THE PEER
I have no intentions of becoming a happy family with the social climber and her wild daughter. A bottle of Jameson and a cracked skull gets my problem shipped to reform school, but I didn't bank on her returning.
Four's out to get even, and she almost had the perfect plan: expose the privileged kid moonlighting as a gangbanger. She's smart, but she'll have to be smarter. Sending her away won't be good enough this time. I'm going to have to tame the little troublemaker. To the girl across the hall, the one without a name, I'm nothing without my silver spoon.
She's lady of the trailer park.
Queen of the swamps.
And my new favorite pastime.
The Peer and the Puppet is a standalone romance, however, the series is one story. The plot introduced in Four and Ever's story will continue in the following novels. Content suitable for 18+.
THE FLAME
Here lies Louchana Valentine. She was a homeless, orphaned virgin.
I never cared what my gravestone would say until I landed in deep with a powerful gangster. Lucky for me, my best friend happens to be ruthless too. I should feel guilty that he’s forced to turn on the man who’s been a father to him. Except I’ve always known that Wren’s soul wasn’t as black as he claimed.
He was good.
He was beautiful.
He was mine.
He just didn’t know it yet.
And with Wren keeping me safe, I’ve got time left to rewrite the end of my story. But if he has his way, virgin is already carved in stone.
THE MOTH
I’ve never known anyone as alluring as Lou. Or as frustrating. Since the night she saved my life and stole my wallet for her troubles, I couldn’t stay away.
She became my onus.
My light.
My…anyway.
With nowhere to run, I’m forced to trust someone I never expected. At least with Lou safe in Blackwood Keep—far away from me—I’ll die with my conscience intact. Because she no longer looks at me with friendship in her eyes. Those iridescent blues shine with a different need entirely, and I’ve never been able to deny her.
The Moth and the Flame returns to the world of Blackwood Keep, rival gangs, and deliciously flawed yet completely addicting characters! This second installment in the When Rivals Play series is a continuation of the events that occurred in The Peer and the Puppet. Content suitable for ages 18+.

From bestselling author B.B. Reid comes a riveting, second chance romance…
Never trust a nice ass and a smile. That girl is definitely poison.
When I first came to Blackwood Keep, I was just looking for a thrill.
Instead, I found a beautiful fraud—a tomboy my wildest dreams couldn’t conjure.
Bee didn’t just run with boys; she ran the boys. It was only a matter of time before I gave chase.
It took one summer for me to win her over and two to lose her forever.
My summer love turned ice queen. Without heart or thought, she ruined me.
Four years and an ocean between us, I still can’t forget that she chose my cousin…so I won’t.
When the clock strikes twelve, you’re mine, Cinderella.
It’s too late to turn back time.
Jameson and Barbette's story.
Are the When Rivals Play books standalone?
Each novel depicts a unique romance; however, the plots connect. It's recommended that you read them in order for the best experience.
