Review: Summer reads #10: Charade (Games #1)by Nyrae Dawn

Charade (Games, #1)Nineteen-year-old Cheyenne tries to portray the perfect life to mask the memories of her past. Walking in on her boyfriend with another woman her freshman year in college threatens that picture of perfection.

Twenty-one-year-old Colt never wanted college and never expected to amount to anything, but when his mom's dying wish is for him to get his degree, he has no choice but to pretend it's what he wants too.

Cheyenne needs a fake boyfriend to get back at her ex and Colt needs cash to take care of his mom, so they strike a deal that helps them both. But what if Cheyenne’s past isn’t what she thought? Soon they’re trading one charade for another—losing themselves in each other to forget about their pain. The more they play their game, the more it becomes the only thing they have that feels real.

Both Cheyenne and Colt know life is never easy, but neither of them expect the tragedy that threatens to end their charade and rip them apart forever.


Review: 2.5/5 stars
And the award for the most deceiving cover goes to...
I love the cover this book was not all happy that cover makes it to be. It was actually pretty depressing.
There are were a lot of good reviews for this book so I decided to check it out but in the end the book itself was lacking. It had the potential but it didn't reach it. I found it feeling forced at times.
I don't like leaving book halfway but this book really pushed me I almost stopped but I was hoping for a twist or something big at the end. Sadly it was all expected.
The relationship didnt really make me go aww and sometimes Colt's moves were just not appealing at all.
I will recommend this if you are looking for a sad average book /:
