“I don’t have a choice.”
“You always have a choice.”
“Not when it comes to you. My heart decided for me.”
OMG!!! This series has become one of my favorite for this year and i totally recommend it to everyone!!!!
I can only say that i devoured both books in one night and i am addicted to Hoodlums and their stories!!!!
But i’m warning you!!!! You have to read the first book “Hood River Rat” before reading this one!!!
You NEED to read Roan and Hollis’s story!!!! Yes, it was an M/M, a genre that i was scared of it very much, but it blew my mind and you don’t want to miss their story!!!! TRUST ME!!!
“I’m envious of them, even if I don’t understand it.”
{Jordy for Roan & Hollis}
Little Hoodlum, the second book in the series, made me also wild and excited and now i can not wait for the third book in the series. The Hoodlums have so many shits to deal with on their lives and I’m so invested on them… I just need more and more!!!
Roux and Jordy’s story was highly anticipated for me!!!
It was wild and reckless, it was raw and heartbreaking but it was so painfully wonderful!!!
“Don’t test me. I’m a monster and you know it. I’ll show you how big of an asshole I can be.”
Roux was Roan’s little sister by five years…
She and her brother hadn’t an easy life… Roan and the rest of the Hoodlums were very protective of her… She was their little Hoodlum after all!!!!
Jordy was Roan’s best friend… An almost brother since he sacrificed his own freedom for the two siblings!!!! He just had to protect them both, no matter the cost…
“We’ll keep Roux safe.
We have to.
I’ll move heaven and hell making sure that happens.”
Three years later, Roux is seventeen and she is in a better place after all these years!!!!
She is almost happy with being Roan happy with Hollis, for being away from her old life, and with her two best friends, one of them becoming something more…
But there is always a thorn on her side in the form of Jordy, the boy that was always protecting her and who’s now refusing to even speak to her…
So, how dare he to sent her a letter full of demands????
“I kind of grew up while you were gone. Not so little anymore.”
“He can’t destroy my life by leaving me and then destroy it by coming back.”
Jordy had wasted three and half years of his life for Roux and Roan… But now, he is back and he is determined to change his life and keep protecting his friends no matter what…
He was always having a soft spot for Roux, his best friend’s little sister and the fact that this little girl is not so little anymore it doesn’t help his case and his blue balls after so many years of celibacy…
But he is determined to stay away from her, no matter what…
“When the fuck did Little Hoodlum grow up in this gorgeous, intelligent, mouthy woman?”
“I can’t have her for myself because she’s too young and forbidden territory, but I want her anyway.”
Unfortunately, they are living under the same roof and it’s very hard to resist on temptation…
But Roux is underage and that’s another one reason for his ass to land for once again on a jail cell…
At the same time, Jordy has new troubles in the form of old enemies…
And Roux is in deep for other reasons… Unknowningly, she had landed herself in the middle of a war… She is in love with a forbidden man and she is losing both her best friends…
Her happy life had turned out into hell for once again…
So what will happen after all???
“You worked your whole life to make sure no one hurt me. And yet here you are, hurting me more than anyone has in my entire life.”
I loved Roux and Jordy from the moment that i met them…
Roux was always so sweet and kind… The poor girl had been through so many shits already…
I loved that now she was older, she wasn’t backing up easily… I loved how she was in Jordy’s presence!!! Roux grew up very well and she turned out a very beautiful, kind and badass girl!!!
As for Jordy??? In the beginning, i had a beef for him since he was making Hollis’s life a hell in the first book, but damn!!! That boy was so loyal and so giving to his friends!!!! His connection with Roan and Roux was magnificent!!!!
He was always the protector and he could do anything fo the ones that he was loving… Even if he could kill himself in the process!!!
“Roux owns so many bits of my heart that it may as well belong to her. What started as a bond between friends -albeit an age gap- has evolved into something deeper. Something physical. Romantic.”
Roux and Jordy were explosive together!!!
From the first moment, i wanted them together, but there were too many obstacles standing on their way….
Things that were hard to swallow and things that were making it impossible for their love to grow in something bigger!!!!
They had to face too many shits to be together one day!!!
“You’re not allowed to hate me, Little Hoodlum.”
“I can do whatever the hell I want!”
“Anything you want, honey, but not that.”
I told you already how much I love this series and these characters…
Yep, each book is focusing on a different couple and with the exception of the first book that was about two males, the other books in the series are f/m…
But in every book are happening so many things that are about almost all the characters of the books that it’s impossible to not crave the next story like an addict!!!
And K. Webster has built this story so good that i’m dying to get my hands on the next book!!!
I need Charlotte’s story with Cal!!!! The anticipation of what had happened and what the future will bring is killing me, especially after this ending in here!!!!
“If you keep your head down, you can get your shit together.”
“Hoodlums are tough.
We don’t take shit.”
***I received an ARC for the exchange of an honest review*
From the first book in this series you could feel the connection that Jordy and Roux have. It was beautiful and made me so mad when they had to fight that pull. I wanted them together right from the start. That being said I love how hard Jordy fought. He was truly amazing. He has hard but when it came to his little hoodlum he wanted everything for her.
Oh Charlotte. She put my heart through the ringer in this book. My heart broke for her and I really hope she gets a HEA. She deserves so much more then she gives her self credit for, so I’m demanding the author make her book soon…. like really soon, like yesterday wouldn’t be soon enough (LOL).
The twists in this book had my jaw dropping. Like wow. How did the author even think of these things. There are so many things I want to touch on but nope. My lips are leaked because cliffhanger central is not my place but wow. Total shock factor with some of this stuff.
This was their story, yes we get to see other characters and how they have changed from the first book but the author kept most of the focus on these two amazing and slightly damaged characters, while keeping true to this amazing group of kids. The plot sucked me in and had me glued to my kindle. I really didn’t want it to end but all good things come to an end…. isn’t that the saying. So sadly it ended but I can’t wait to see more of these two in the books to come. 5 stars #2OCCJD
What a journey!! I honestly did not know how Jordy and Rouk were going to get out of their tangled mess and end up together. There was so much passion, emotional turmoil, and everything stacked against them, but in the end…I just had to know!!! K. Webster writes a gorgeous angsty book with suspenseful adventure in Little Hoodlum.
While Jordy Martinez spent the last three years in prison for saving the lives of his best friend, Roan, and his little sister, Roux. He doesn’t regret a moment for making the decision to end the lives of the men who were trying to rape and murder those he considered his family. Now that he’s out and free, he’s not about to let Roux mess up her life by falling in with the wrong crowd of people that he helped save her from years ago.
Roux is angry with Jordy, not for saving her years ago, but for cutting off all communication. He was like a brother to her when she was younger, but now that he’s out and living in her home all the brotherly feelings have vanished and she’s forgiven him for vanishing. Now instead of anger, something else is brewing between them and it’s strong and powerful. She wants Jordy, desires him more than she has wanted anything before in her life and she isn’t sure how to go about that.
While Roux is mixed up with a thug, a baby brother of a heavy criminal, she has also been friends with him for years so completely detaching herself isn’t exactly easy. Her best friend, who is also Hollis’ sister, is also mixed up in this crowd, seems to be losing herself and Roux is beside herself on what to do to save those she loves.
Jordy needs to keep his nose clean while out on probation, but when he finds out that Roux is mixed up with thugs he inserts himself into a life he never wanted to get mixed up in again. However, choosing to save those he loves over going back to prison and he knows he’ll choose to save his family every single time.
Forbidden goes beyond what these two struggle with. Roux is only seventeen, so there is an age equation to contend with, but with the way she was raised she is also mature beyond her years. However, with Jordy’s past and prison record he has zero wiggle room to mess with the law. There is an entire web of Jordy’s past and Roux’s present that both are entangled with that come crashing together. Untangling the web is complicated, but love is worth it, right?
Be prepared for intense chemistry, angsty emotional layers of suspense, and a deep soulful love.
The Hoodlums are all interconnected and while K. Webster does a really good job of bringing readers up to speed with Hollis and Roan, I feel reading this as a standalone is like missing half of the story for Jordy and Roux. In Little Hoodlum, I absolutely loved the moments inside Hollis and Roan’s life. In Hood River Rat, their story was full of rife, so seeing them happy made my heart happy.
GAHHHHHH K Webster does it again! Little Hoodlum was so amazing, I literally am
speechless. She is a master of her craft, and Little Hoodlum was without a doubt a masterpiece. I am loving this series so hard. After Hood River Rat, I honestly didn’t think anyone could replace Hollis and Roan but then Jordy and Roux dropped kicked the front door down and made their grand entrance. I’M IN LOVE. I’M OBSESSED. OH-EM-GEE THE FEELS Once I started reading it was unputdownable, I loved getting back into this world and getting to see the hoodlums again. I missed them so much.
Jordy and Roux were all kinds of fire and they burned so hot they scorched the pages in their wake. And in true K Web fashion she knows how rip your heart out and leave you reeling! I cannot wait for the next book in this series! This is a must read right now! Top read of 2020!
5/5 Scorching Stars!
