Synopsis
He makes the rules. She breaks them all.
A new start. It's the only thing keeping Allie Harper going, when she packs up her life and moves across the country to Woodshill, Oregon. She's about to start college, desperate to leave the ghosts of her past behind her. Even if that means never talking to her parents again.
Now the hard part – finding an apartment before classes start. Just when it seems she'll have to live out of her car, Allie visits one more place. It's beautiful. With one exception: can she stand being roommates with campus bad boy Kaden White? Sure, Kaden is sexy with his tattoos and careless attitude, but he's also an arrogant jerk. With nowhere else to go, Allie moves in.
The first thing Kaden does is make a set of rules. Either Allie obeys, or she's out:
1. Don't talk about your girl problems.
2. Keep your mouth shut if I bring someone home.
3. We will NEVER hook up.
Easy enough, thinks Allie. Who would want to get involved with a brute like Kaden? But the more she gets to know him, the more she sees beyond his gruff facade. He, too, is harboring some painful secrets. For Kaden and Allie, it gets harder and harder to ignore the sparks between them. And the lines between the rules start to blur-
Begin Again is a beautiful romance that shows us just how possible it is to start over. To find freedom in heartbreak and love in the most unlikely places
My Review
*Thanks again to Bastei Entertainment for sending me an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
I've been meaning to read 'Begin Again' by Mona Kasten for a very long time now. This book was originally published in German and so I'd already heard a lot of positive things from my friends and other German book bloggers. The only reason I actually never picked it up is because I don't really like reading German books even though I'm German myself. Sounds weird but that's just how it is. So naturally, I was very excited when I found out that 'Begin Again' had been translated into English and was incredibly happy when I received an ARC of it.
'Begin Again' tells the story of Allie and Kaden. When Allie moves to college, she's looking for a room to rent but can't find a fitting one until she checks out the spare room in Kaden's apartment. The problem is that he actually doesn't want to live together with a girl but Allie can be very convincing and so Kaden lets her move in anyway. But he has a couple of rules, one of which is that the two will never hook up. Naturally though, they start feeling attracted to each other and have to deal with their feelings while at the same time having to deal with their dark pasts.
I really enjoyed reading the book and it was such a quick read. 'Begin Again' has a great plot and it's a book you can easily read in one sitting because it will captivate you. It made me laugh a lot and I'll definitely add it to my list of books I reread when I just need something that will make me happy. I also immediately fell in love with the two main characters, Kaden and Allie, but also really loved some of the secondary characters like Spencer, Dawn and Scott and hope we will get to read more about them in the sequel.
I know that many people also absolutely love Mona Kasten's writing style but I personally felt like that was the only thing I can say something negative about regarding this book. I can't even specifically tell you what I didn't like about it but there were just a couple of things that bothered me and I feel like there's still room for improvement. But as far as I know this is one of the very first novels she ever published and I'm confident that her writing will get better with every additional book she'll publish in the future.
All in all, I really liked this book and I'm very glad it was finally translated into English so that more people have the chance to read it. I'm going to deduct one star because of her writing and give 'Begin Again' 4 out of 5 stars.
