About the Book

DefiantAttractionFrontCover
Dan might be the enemy of my enemy, but I’m not sure that makes him my friend. He’s definitely not my ‘step brother’, no matter what everyone at school says. Honestly, I don’t know 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 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 an excellent idea for him—and his son, Dan—to move in with us. (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t).
Now I share a house with none other than Daniel Cole. Even though Dan 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 alliance—two 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.

MY REVIEW:

DEFIANT ATTRACTION IS THE FIRST BOOK I HAVE READ BY AUTHOR, V.K. TORSTON.  I FOUND THE BOOK TO BE A VERY ENJOYABLE READ.  WE ARE INTRODUCED TO SOPHIA, WHO IS THE GOOD GIRL AND HONOR STUDENT AND DAN, WHO IS THE BAD BOY.  SOPHIA AND DAN BOTH COME FROM A BROKEN  HOMELIFE.  THEIR MOTHER AND FATHER ARE BOTH DRUNKS WHO END UP LIVING TOGETHER.  DAN AND SOPHIA END UP LIVING  TOGETHER AS WELL.  AT FIRST, THEY ARE ENEMIES, THEN THEY BECOME FRIENDS AND THEN SOMETHING MORE.  I LOVED DAN AND SOPHIA TOGETHER.  THEY SAY OPPOSITES ATTRACT WHICH IS VERY APPARENT IN THIS STORY.  WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN EVERYONE LEARNS THE TRUTH ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP?

DEFIANT ATTRACTION WAS A VERY INTENSE AND EMOTIONAL READ FOR ME.  THE AUTHOR DID A GREAT JOB IN PORTRAYING SOPHIA AND DAN'S BROKEN HOMELIFE.  SHE DID NOT RUSH THEIR RELATIONSHIP.  IT DEVELOPED SLOWLY AND NATURALLY.  I REALLY THOUGHT DAN AND SOPHIA BROUGHT THE BEST OUT IN EACH OTHER.  THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO HIDE WHO THEY WERE.  DAN AND SOPHIA COULD JUST BE THEMSELVES.  THEY WERE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD ROMANCE TO READ, I RECOMMEND YOU READ DEFIANT ATTRACTION.  I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE BOOKS BY THIS AUTHOR.  I REALLY ENJOYED HER WRITING AND CHARACTERS.  4 STARS
