Pulled Under by Sarah Darlington
Synopsis:
man-child. noun.
: a grown man who is very immature, therefor considered a man-child
manwhore. noun.
: a promiscuous man who has no regard for his sexual partners or the emotional value of his relationships
Rhett Morgan couldn’t have been more wrong for me. The guy drank beer in the shower, for crying out loud. He had no prospects for the future, had slept with half the women in our beach town of Kill Devil Hills, and had no desire to change his manwhore ways.
And when Ben Turner, the guy I had loved from afar for the past four years, died and I couldn’t get over his death, I desperately needed a distraction. A distraction like Rhett. So I used him for a one-night stand. Because, after all, that’s the only thing a guy like Rhett is good for…right?
***New Adult Romance. This novel is the third book in the Kill Devil Hills series, however it can be read as a standalone. Recommended for 18+
My Review:
Pulled Under is the third book in author Sarah Darlington’s Kill Devil Hill Series and the first in the series I have read. I will say that I was able to read it as a stand alone and never felt lost. It was an enjoyable and quick read.
I really enjoyed Rhett and Sydney’s story in the beginning and most of the middle. They were really cute together and their attraction was hot. Rhett was really sweet in wanting to change his bad boy ways for Sydney and I thought he couldn’t have picked a better girl to do it for. Sydney was an enjoyable character and very down to earth and drama free. I love that in a character. I loved how their relationship started and the road it led them on. My only complaint was that the ending seemed a bit rushed and felt a little flat. Still enjoyable, but left me wanting more….not necessarily a bad thing!
There is also a secondary story line happening with Sydney’s high school crush, Ben. I’m hoping we get to hear more about it because it’s a pretty interesting and very intriguing!
Overall, this was a nice way to spend a few hours and I will be looking forward to see what Ms. Darlington has in store!
*reviewer note: I did receive an ARC and am hoping the issue with the fluctuation between a character name being spelled differently from time to time (Shelley/Shelly) has been rectified before publication.
