Review of Chaos & Love (Blood and Iron Warriors Book 1) by Kat Kenyon
When Tyler sees a beautiful barista at his campus' local coffeeshop, he can't get her out of his head even though she, GASP!, rejected his half-assed pick up line. It's not like Ty to obsess over one girl, no matter how beautiful, but there's something about her. So he sets about pursuing her, and eventually they start up a rather sweet, fun friendship. And along the way, his team make her one of them.
Rayne is pretty much all alone in the world, and it's made her really strong and independent. She wants nothing to do with the persistent hottie that keeps flirting with her. But there's something charming about him and somehow they've become friends. But it's only a matter of time before their obvious attraction is consummated even though she really knows better than to get involved with a manwhore like Ty, no matter how sweet he actually is. For one, she's got her dance scholarship to worry about, and getting her heart broken really isn't something she can deal with. Will these two young lovers be able to maintain a relationship in the face of all the obstacles?
I really liked Chaos & Love but only after I reminded myself that these two are seriously young (literally still teenagers), so angst is to be expected. And damn was there angst, A TON of it, but it didn't bother me as much as it would normally. One thing to note is that Ty pulls a bonehead move toward the end, one I honestly expected, only I figured it would happen earlier in the story, so I wasn't surprised, but I was pissed, and hurting so much for Rayne. And then there's the cliffy. Yuck. Had I known that Chaos & Love was only part one of a trilogy, I wouldn't have read it until all three parts were released, so the cliffy took me by surprise, and kinda made me mad, as there's no warning anywhere that I could see. But aside from Ty's asshole move, the neverending angst, and the cliffhanger, like I said, I liked Chaos & Love. It's well-written, and I loved Rayne. She's the best part of the story and I can't wait to see how much more she grows in the next installments. I hope whatever happens, that Ty grows up A LOT, and does some serious groveling and begging to Rayne, and that she makes him work like he's never worked before, for forgiveness.
