Order Here

I loathe Micah Reed. Yet, I can't keep my eyes off him.

Years ago, he opened his mouth in a room full of our peers. Said nine words and ruined my life.
My high school crush did exactly that... crushed me.

But I am no longer the quiet, loner girl from high school. The girl who let others trample her spirit.
No, I take charge. Stand tall. Bend to no one. Never again.
Especially Micah Reed.

Peyton Alexander makes me question my sanity. Yet, I refuse to stop antagonizing her.

Since her first day at work, she has given me the death glare. Lipped off and verbally slapped me.
And every night, I go back for another round.

Not sure what I did to deserve her animosity, but I plan to find out. Plan to fix whatever mistake I made.
Although I live for her banter, I want more with Peyton. The attention she gives other men, I want it for myself.
Call me presumptuous, but Peyton Alexander will be mine.

Micah wants me because I don't fall for his charms.
Peyton resists to deny herself the truth.

Will he ever figure out who I am?
Will she ever let me in?

MY REVIEW

Micah cannot believe how much the object of his fascination, Peyton, despises him, and he still can't figure out why. She's sweet and sunshiney with everyone at the bar where they both work, but as soon as she sees him her eyes spit fire at him. Although he doesn't know why she hates him, he's determined to have her. He just has to figure out why she hates him and somehow reverse those feelings. If only he could figure it all out, now, so he can get Peyton to look at him with something far more beautiful than contempt.

Peyton's high school life was hell all thanks to her coworker, who for the life of him, cannot figure out why she hates him. She isn't sure if he's just stupid, has a bad memory, or if she's really that forgettable, but she knows she'll never be with him the way he seems to want her. But her body certainly has a different opinion of the guy than her mind. When he starts showing her a different side than she usually sees, will she give into their attraction? Or keep holding the grudge high school nurtured within her?

OK, first things first - that cliffhanger! I hate cliffies, especially when they're as horrible as this one. OK, mini-rant over. Aside from the cliffhanger, I liked everything else about Restless Night. Peyton is awesome - strong, sassy and determined to keep herself from being hurt again by her former bully. I only like bully romances when the bully redeems him or herself, and I think Micah managed to do that. He clearly wasn't the jerk he had been in high school any longer, and once he figured out why she hated him, he went about showing her his true self. The cliffhanger killed me, though, so now I'm very anxiously awaiting A Love So Bright so I can see how they manage to get out of the mess they've found themselves in.
