He loves what he can’t remember \u2014she can’t forget the truth…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n PIPER DALTON A standalone enemies-to-lovers romance.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Add to Goodreads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 stars<\/b><\/p>\n This is such a great read! An intense, dramatic and emotional YA bully romance with a difference, when the arrogant, merciless bully loses his memory and falls for the girl he has spent his life tormenting. I was sucked in from the very beginning and I loved this one.<\/p>\n Dalton has made it his mission in life to make his neighbour, Piper, miserable. It all started in kindergarten and has continued over the years and is now completely ingrained into who Dalton is, and his role in the school hierarchy. For years Piper has been tormented by Dalton, and by those seeking his approval, and though she suffers, she has learned to live with it and is biding her time until high school finishes and she can get the hell away from everybody who has made her life hell.<\/p>\n But one night changes everything. An accident results in Dalton losing his memory, wiping everything but his very early childhood, and as he tries to re-learn his life and his place amongst his family and friends, it quickly becomes apparent that he\u2019s not the same boy he used to be. And it\u2019s Piper that he reacts to the strongest when he takes one look at her and is completely smitten.<\/p>\n \u201cFuck,\u201d he mumbles when he breathes me in for a second time. \u201cPlease tell me you\u2019re mine.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Of course Piper is stunned by Dalton\u2019s abrupt change. He makes it clear that he\u2019s after her and his earnest pursuit understandably terrifies and confuses her. She wants nothing to do with him, he wants nothing but<\/i> her. It\u2019s a difficult situation and Dalton has his work cut out for him to win over the girl he has hurt so badly.<\/p>\n \u201cTell me what I can do, and I\u2019ll do it. I know it\u2019s going to take time, but please promise me that you\u2019ll at least try. Give me a chance, baby, and I\u2019ll prove to you that I\u2019m worth it.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It\u2019s such a good set-up, and this book had me absolutely captivated. Written in dual POVs we see Dalton\u2019s horrendous cruelty to Piper, and understand its impact on her. We see his confusion and disgust as he comes to realise the boy he used to be, and his struggle to accept his past behaviour and to convince those around him that he has changed. Especially Piper, who wants so badly to believe in Dalton, but who is completely justified in her reluctance to trust him after all he has put her through. It\u2019s an emotional ride, and I was feeling everything right along with them.<\/p>\n \u201cI won\u2019t ever trust you.\u201d Tears well on her lower lashes, but she takes another step back when I reach up to swipe them away. \u201cWhen you get your memories back, it\u2019ll only make things ten times worse.\u201d The love story is so sweet. Very fast moving with the intensity of feelings, but I went with it, and I got swept up in the thrill of first love. It takes some work, but they reach the point where they laugh, tease, banter and touch, and it was so, so beautiful to see! Their openness is fantastic, and I love how honest they are with each other. Their situation is complicated though, and they have more hurdles and heartache to deal with as they figure it all out, but thankfully the drama and angst is handled really well and the story ends well.<\/p>\n This is my first read by Marie James, and I loved her writing. She sucked me in and had me feeling all the feels, and that\u2019s just the way I like it. This book is a strong start to the Westover Prep<\/i> series, introducing us to a world of cliques, bullies and the usual high school drama. Though this book is very much focussed on Dalton and Piper, we still get to see the main players and get a good feel for the dynamics at play. I\u2019m excited to continue on with Piper\u2019s best friend, Frankie\u2019s, story up next in Catch Twenty-Two<\/em>.<\/p>\n Such a great read. 4 stars!<\/p>\n An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n One-Eighty (#1)<\/strong> Catch Twenty-Two (#2)<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Escapist Book Blog is not responsible for this giveaway<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marie James is a USA Today Bestselling Author of contemporary romance.

\n<\/strong>Arrogant, controlling, and an absolute jerk.
\nHe’s everything I loathe, and everything I want to forget.
\nBut he doesn’t remember a bit of it.
\nOne accident, one misstep, changed everything.
\nChanged him.
\nNow, he’s different and unbelievably sexy.
\nBut I refuse to fall for a bully.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Sexy, smart, feisty, and perfect.
\nShe’s everything I want, and nothing that I remember.
\nWhat she says I am, I refuse to believe.
\nFor her, I will be anything.
\nI will do anything.
\nEven destroy the bully from before.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/180-Teaser11.jpg?resize=475%2C475&ssl=1\")

\n\u201cI don\u2019t want my memories back. I don\u2019t want to be that guy. I can\u2019t be the guy who avoids his family, keeps crappy friends, and is mean to pretty girls. My memories won\u2019t matter because I\u2019ll never forget how I feel when I\u2019m close to you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/180-Teaser13.jpg?resize=475%2C476&ssl=1\")
