Rebel (Montgomery Brothers, #3)

I haven’t read any books by Laura Pavlov before. But when I read about ‘Rebel’, I knew this was a book I wanted to read. I always love the Best friends little sister tribe, and this one definitely sounded fun. So when I got approved for an ARC I got super excited and started reading as soon as I could.

JACK: I’m always down for a good time. I’m that guy. I love women. I love sex. And I love my life. Go big or go home, right? My father’s death is a constant reminder of why I like to keep it simple. Life is short. Emotional attachments make you weak. Grieving sucks. And I have no interest in caring deeply for anyone outside of my family. I’m not looking for complications. Monroe Buckley is a complication. She’s driven. She’s focused. And she’s my best friend’s little sister. Not happening. But once we’re forced to spend time together…I only want more. Too bad she’s the one woman who is off-limits. MONROE: I don’t trust most people, and I have my reasons. I’m passionate about my work, and I came here to do a job. Not date the boss. Getting hired at the top media company in the city is the break of my life. But it means working for Jack Montgomery. My one-time crush. My brother’s best friend. And the current thorn in my side. He’s exactly what I want to avoid. Yet he’s everywhere I turn. Even when he’s not there—he’s in my head. He’s a magnet for attention. A heartbreak just waiting to happen. And my heart is something I fiercely protect. At all costs. They say the heart wants what the heart wants... But my heart isn’t allowed to make that decision anymore. There’s too much to lose.

In ‘Rebel’ we meet the youngest Montgomery brother Jack and Monroe, Jack’s best friends little sister. Jack is known for being a womanizer, but he is also very hardworking and loves his family. When Monroe starts working for his newspaper, he can’t stop noticing how much she grew up. And when Jack and Monroe are accidentally forced to fake date each other, they are also forced to spend a lot of time together. But they soon find out that they didn’t really know each other all that well before.

Well.. where to start?! I looooooved ‘Rebel’. From the moment I started reading about Jack and Monroe I couldn’t stop. Right from the beginning their chemistry is flying of the pages, and their interactions definitely make for a lot of laugh out loud moments. And I really enjoyed reading this book from both main characters their point of view.

The character I loved the most was definitely Jack. Although he is a womanizer and can be really arrogant. There is also so much good in him. Jack is hardworking, loves his family more than anything and is just a really good guy. And when he starts to know Monroe, he also is so kind and sweet for her. Jack definitely made me swoon several times.

Monroe’s character I had to get to know a little more before I could honestly say I loved her. Monroe doesn’t trust easy, and she is kind of a jerk to Jack at the beginning. I understand why, but I also just wanted to shake her and tell her to be nice already.

The romance in this book was definitely the best. I loved the chemistry between Jack and Monroe, and how they simple couldn’t stay away from each other. There was also some suspense at the end, which I loved too.

Yes, I loved ‘Rebel’ and would definitely recommend it if you’re into romance. But also prepare yourself to add a few more books to your TBR. I for one really want to read more about these Montgomery brothers. Throughout this read we get to know the other brothers a little.. But I definitely need more.
