Enemies to lovers Second chance You get introduced to Jace and Kieran during book 1. The first part of the book is from their past when they were in HS. I typically don’t like flashbacks cause I want to know what’s happening currently lol but you have to get their backstory. Jace and Kieran have gone to school with each other since 3rd grade. Jace is your typically popular jock. However he’s always been pretty nice. Kieran is one of 3 out and gay kids at school but their junior year he decides to start wearing makeup as a form of expressing himself. Jace clocks it day one and can’t let it go. He starts bullying Kieran trying to get him to stop being such a distraction. The growth is phenomenal and basically Jace having to really dig into why he has such an issue with Kieran. Them coming back 13 years later and having to relearn who the other person is (though Jace is a super fan 😆). I loved watching Jace break down Kieran’s walls. I love that Liv really pushed Kieran to reevaluate how he was feeling. So many emotions. This book was amazing.

MM Bully to Lovers Romance

The Reality of Wanting My Bully is book 2 of the Love Without Labels Series. Jace and Kieran goodness these two. The first part of the book was heartbreaking. Jace started bullying Kieran on their Junior Year of High School when Kieran decided to be his complete self and started wearing makeup. Kieran confused the hell out of Jace. Jace was a baseball player with a controlling father Jace couldn’t be his complete self. He was obsessed with Kieran and he didn’t understand it. So he would bully Kieran. By their senior year things changed one hook up became more Jace could be himself around Kieran but by the end of the year one encounter left them heartbroken. And now 13 years later they both enter a reality show about finding love and end up with each other. Kieran is still angry and hurt. Jace has completely changed and has been living his true self. But he has never been able to move on from Kieran and when he realizes he is his match he will do whatever he can to earn his forgiveness and win his heart. Loved every second of this book and I felt for both guys.
