Ratings and reviews

I really LOVED Xander and Peyton’s story!! They were both so damaged from their pasts. Completely different circumstances, but they understood each other’s pain. He was her hero, rescuer, best friend and lover, but people were unaccepting of the age gap. She was 18 and he was 28. Personally the age gap didn’t bother me. If she was 16, that would have been different. But she was legal. The only thing was that they both had issues to deal with before having an easier relationship. Especially Xander. I FREAKING LOVED XANDER!!!! He’s definitely on my top list of book boyfriends!!! But Peyton was an amazing character too! They were both such complex characters and so well written!!! They’re my favorite couple in the Rixon High series!!!

Loving each book so far.

About the author

Author of over thirty mature young adult and new adult novels, LA COTTON is happiest writing the kind of books she loves to read: addictive stories full of teenage angst, tension, twists and turns.

Home is a small town in the middle of England where she currently juggles being a full-time writer with being a mother/referee to two little people. In her spare time (and when she’s not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most likely find LA immersed in a book, escaping the chaos that is life.
