Riot (Mayhem, #2)

by Jamie Shaw

When Dee Dawson meets sexy mohawked guitarist Joel Gibbon, she knows it won't be long before she has him wrapped around her finger. No guy has ever been able to resist her … but Dee's met her match in a player like Joel.

Dee's not the relationship type—not after seeing the pain "love" has caused her friends and family—yet she's desperate to make Joel want her more than anyone else. He quickly becomes an obsession, and when a reckless attempt to make him jealous ends in disaster, Dee turns into the damsel in distress she never wanted to be. With her carefree world crashing down around her, the last thing she needs is Joel's pity.

But Joel is suddenly determined to prove he cares, and no matter how hard Dee tries to push him away, he refuses to let her shut him out. Now the girl who swore she'd never say those three little words must choose between guarding her heart and losing Joel forever … or falling head over heels for the tattooed rock star of her dreams.

This was a good story but Dee got on my hot damn nerves. I spent far too long in the book wanting to strangle her for the games she played, the emotional chaos she brought upon herself and Joel and everything else she thought in this book. The whole thing with Cody, I didn't blame her for but I won't lie. The emotional games she played with Joel pissed me off a lot in this one.

I'm glad that I finished it and in the end, I did like Dee but she wasn't an easy person to like (let alone, love) but I hella loved Joel. :)
