After UNTouched. After UNLoved. After UNTamed.Comes … the Rulz.Their stories. Their words.This is what happens after the wild ending to UNTamed.Up next: KIP.Stay the ‘f’ away from her… save her again.
I know how crazy this is.
I’m rich. She’s not.
She lives too far away.
I’m not welcome near her.
But I can’t stop thinking about her.
Everything she wants… I want to give her.
She wants a bicycle to pedal along the beach? DONE.
She needs me to save her from her past life that is threatening her now? DONE.
That last one is a problem though… and not just for her. Or me. But for all of us. Yeah, that includes the Rulz.
How much am I willing to give up to love her?
Simple: EVERYTHING.

Hope and happiness amidst the struggle of addiction is a hard subject to tackle for any writer, but its especially hard for a romantic to read. This book was particularly hard for me cause I have experience in the subject matter and have my own scars. I love Jaxson’s work as a rule (hope you caught the pun), but Ruby’s story doesn’t feel complete with this book. Jaxson makes you believe that Kip’s heart is true, Ruby isn’t a surrogate for Kait. STILL it’s hard to believe that Ruby’s heart is really available. I could have believed it at one point when I thought maybe she was using out of boredom and hopelessness….but further into the book…its clear the addiction is controlling her. I hope, because I am the quintessential romantic, that there will be a triumphant Ruby Valentine in the works. Oh Jaxson! I doubt I will ever get enough of your world.
Jaxson Kidman once again knocks it out of the park with Kip, the 5th book in the Bay Falls High series. Written from Kip’s POV, we get to see his tender, kind hearted side, as he fights to discover himself and save the girl that he’s fallen in love with. As the story follows Kip and Ruby’s journey, Jaxson spins the story in a way that transports the reader back in time to all the emotions of their own first love. Jaxson has definitely upped his game with this series!
What do you do when everyone around you doesn’t want you to be with the one your love? You fight for her! You do everything in your power to prove that she is worthy of love, that the addiction is just that an addiction that isn’t you. For Kip, he believes he is bad news for her. He feels he will destroy her, bring her down; but he loves her and can’t stay away. So he sets out to prove to her, and himself, that she is the one for him, while dealing with a past that keeps coming back and haunting him. With a past where his love wasn’t enough to save. Through “the rulz,” Tinsley and Grams, Kip learns that he too is worthy and his love means something. A lot of truths are in these pages, very emotional read.
Lip and Ruby both are fighting their inner demons in this latest story of the Rulz.
Never a dull moment where the Rulz are involved.
Jaxson will leave you craving more…
KIP (Bay Falls High – the Rulz Book 2) By Jaxson Kidman
What a ride this series is! Awesome story line that stays just as fresh as the first book, wonderfully complex likable characters, angst, intensity, entertaining banter, great vital secondary characters, a deeper intimate look inside the Rulz and how they work. I could not put this down after I started it.
Bravo, Jaxson! Each book is getting better and better, I don’t know how you do it, but I am so glad you do!! This is a 5 star book as I can’t give it more…
What does Kip do when memories of his past collide with the moments of his present? Kip’s darkest demon keeps haunting him. Where Kait is concerned, is there something he did wrong or didnt say ? Why do the voices of Kait and Ruby are fighting for space in his head? Why does Kip has the need to save Ruby from her demons? Is the addiction so strong that she can’t overcome it? Is he going to make the same mistake with Ruby? Kip remains true to himself and wants to save Ruby, her protector, friend, lover. This story of Kip show more of his emotional side. How he tries to control his anger, confusion, the only way he knows is by fighting. Jaxson Kidman love story of Kip nd Ruby is intense. It delves into the subject of addiction and how it effects Ruby’s life and the lives of her Gram and her friends. It’s another great read of the continuing story of The Ruiz.
No one knows, but after the Rulz and Tinsley rescued Ruby, Kip has been checking up on her…a lot.
Ruby has gone through so much since Tinsley moved to Bay Falls. She went down the wrong path and lost her way. Ruby is slowing coming out of it and Tinsley and the Rulz have been a big support to her. Kip is her secret and one that needs to stay that way, at least for the time being. Kip is rich, powerful and popular, especially with the ladies. The last thing he needs is a messed up girl in his life.
Because they have a mutual friend in Tinsley, Ruby believes she’s just a charity case, another project for the Rulz. That’s Ruby’s story even though she’s really stronger and smarter than she gives herself credit for. Kip? He’s a total bad***, always ready for a fight or to flirt with a pretty girl. Definitely not relationship material. Although, at one time, there was this one girl, Kait. Kait was troubled but more so than Ruby. She never made it out alive, and in the process, Kip was left with a broken heart. After Kait, Kip vowed to never become involved, choosing the casual hookup instead of love. His plan was working, that is, until he met Ruby. With his past still haunting his future, Kip falls hard for Ruby, but saving her may be harder than he expected. Kip is not one to give up, even though Ruby brings back many dark memories for Kip and one ghost he can’t seem to shake. Could history be repeating itself?
WOW! OKAY! I knew Kip’s story was going to be amazing, but I really loved his character and his outlook on life. His relationship with Tinsley and the Rulz, how they rely and depend on each other shows that, although they may not be blood, their bond is stronger than that of real family. They chose their family.
ORIGINAL CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE THAT PUTS YOU RIGHT IN THE ACTION. THE STORY FLOWED EFFORTLESSLY. AS THE SCENES PLAY OUT IN YOUR MIND, YOU WILL FORGET THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY READING. DARK AND RAW AS WELL AS HOPEFUL AND OPTIMISTIC ! KIP’S STORY DOES NOT DISAPPOINT ! ! !
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES ! ! !
