SYNOPSIS


Dan might be the enemy of my enemy, but I'm not sure that makes him my friend. He's definitely not my 'stepbrother', no matter what everyone at school says. Honestly, I've never known what he's supposed to be to me. Or what he's becoming...

FACT: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In the yearbook, I'll be 'Sophia Ramos, Valedictorian'. Years of honor roll certificates, AP classes, and lugging around an obnoxiously large cello case are about to finally pay off. If everything goes according to plan, I'll escape these decaying suburbs for a top-tier university across the country.

The problem? A few years ago, my mom met someone just as broke, just as drunk, and just as impulsive as she is. Approximately five seconds into their relationship, they decided it would be a great idea if heand his son, Danmoved in with us (Spoiler alert: it wasn't).

Now I share a house with none other than Daniel Cole. Even though he dropped out two years ago, he's still the tattooed, bad boy, heartthrob, legend of St. Anthony's Academy. He and I aren't supposed to have anything in common.

Living together means war. First, Dan and I were at war with each other. Now, our rivalry is giving way to an unlikely alliancetwo opposing sides teaming up against a common enemy: our respective parents.

Which is to say, we've been hanging out.


Question: 
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object 
 Here’s the thing: My brain is a complex organ. One hundred billion neurons, each with an average of seven thousand synaptic connections to other neurons. My brain is my ticket out of here. My heart, by contrast, is a pump. It moves blood around. I know Dan is off-limits. I know I shouldn’t do something I’ll regret. And I know how much is at stake (my family, my future). So why can’t I stop thinking about him? Those inscrutable jade eyes. The smile that can say a thousand different things at once. That tattoo curving across his abs…
Even though I know better, I feel that pounding in my chest. And it’s getting harder to ignore.
But if I follow my heart, I can never go back.

Answer: 
There is no such thing as an immovable object. DATeaser_Friction

My Review

"Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem.
For every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction."

Defiant Attraction is the debut novel for author V.K. Torston and wow what a debut it novel it was. I loved it! The storyline was original, the tension palpable, and the angst had me turning page after page to see what was to come next. I loved the characters and couldn't get enough of this sexy romance.

This book took me by surprise in the best possible way. I'll be honest and say i wasn't expecting for a debut for it to be so well written. I was pulled into the story immediately the story starts off with a bit of a taboo premise, but I promise you, there is a lot more to this story than meets the eye.

 Daniel and Sophia’s story felt very real and honest. I found myself intrigued by them and wanted to understand them more. Their home life was anything but perfect, leaving them with only each other to depend on. I loved getting to know them and see their relationship build over the course of time.

 I truly think this author has great potential her writing was that good, paced perfectly with just enough of everything in all the right places. I really look forward to seeing what she is going to bring us in the future.
