VBT # Review: Love Struck - Nikki Ashton

Review: Love Struck - Book #2 Maddison High School Series - Nikki Ashton - June 2020

Book #1 was so amazing and I loved it and it finished on a major cliffhanger which I had to read that last page twice as OMG it was one of the best cliffhangers that I had read. So of course, I had big expectations with Book #2 Love Struck. Unfortunately, though as someone who is a big reader - that is something that we readers should never do is enter a book with high expectations as you will always feel a bit let down. Love Struck begins with the cliffhanger moment of Adam's father turning up and it turns out to be also Sarah's ex-Art teacher.  Adam is now torn as he loves Sarah and doesn't want to end his relationship with her but he also wants to reconnect with his father as he hasn't seen him since he was five years old. I have to admit this book focuses on a lot of back and forth between Adam and Sarah's emotions between them and whether they should continue dating or not. I'm not a huge fan of playing games so this part frustrated me as it was very repetitive and angsty. Like I understand why Sarah is upset but seriously it's not Adam's fault of who his Dad is and again - HELLO, he hasn't seen him since he was five years old. If you love bully romances and you read Book #1 then definitely read Book #2 as it does complete the duet and I did love the epilogue which is set thirteen years later as the epilogue rounds the duet off perfectly.
