The Trap
By: Beverley Kendall
What It's About!
Looking back, I should have seen it coming.
Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid.
But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough.
She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that.
The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen.
And like an idiot I walked right into it.
And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.

My Thoughts!
I received this book through Net Galley in turn for an honest review.
This was a quick read. Thank goodness because I didn't like it. I didn't understand how a solid relationship could be torn apart that easily when she got pregnant. Mitch was upset that she got pregnant, because he felt his scholarship was a waste. That his life would be over without playing the game. That confuses me, because if he was so upset, then why did he start flunking out of college? Paige also had a secret at the beginning of the book that the author never shed light on. The entire book was her being pregnant and him being a complete ass and absent partner. Then at the end he wants to be a part of the baby's life. I don't respect him. I didn't believe in their relationship and I really wasn't rooting for them to be together. So I will not be reading the next one. Really disappointing. Not the book for me.
