Blurb
Rebels.
Misfits. Bad boys who rule the streets. Everyone’s welcome at the worst kept
secret in town, just as long as you don’t mind getting your reputation—and your
heart—a little dirty.
Welcome to
Patchwork House…
Patchwork
House is a boy’s club—a mean boy’s club. They made an exception for Tweetie
once, and they’re going to make another, because she’s coming home. After two
years away and one too many broken hearts, Tweetie swore off skaters—but she
never expected Flip.
Flip was
the most famous skater in the world until he traded his place at Patchwork with
the little girl whose life he ruined. Now Tweetie’s all grown up, and one
chance encounter brings them together. He knows the right thing to do is
disappear before things get ugly, but he never was very good at being good.
She’s back,
and so is he—all bets are off. Nothing will stop this bad boy from finally
getting his lost girl. They're written in the stars, and it's time she knows
it.
The first
lesson Flip taught Tweetie was how to fall.
It was also
the last thing she remembered when they met again, because she didn’t just fall
for him.
She
slammed.
Skater Boy is definitely the start to something! Patchwork House sounds like the best kind of fun. Edgy and adventurous are synonymous with Patchwork House. This merry band of misfits seems like the perfect home for anyone who feels left on the outside.
Skater Boy is the first of what I hope is a long line of stories. Starting our Rebel God line up, Skater Boy is an unrequited, taboo-esque love story. Flip and Tweetie make you crazy with their behavior. It's Mary Catherine Gebhard's mission to drive you nuts. Secrets and lies form a precarious house of cards that are the foundation for their relationship and when it falls...it slams.

The first book in a brand new series and what a fantastic way to kick it off. The story flies between timelines alot but I still found it easy to follow.
We start the journey with Tweetie returning to Patchwork House after an absence of two years. It takes time to understand the dynamics of the story and the players. A bunch of misfits have formed a family of their own. As the story progresses the reader realises the main objective has always been to protect Tweetie even at the cost of their own happiness. The feels between Flip and Tweetie are everything. I love a slow burn and found myself salivating for that first kiss. It was so worth the buildup, prepare to swoon. Everyone knows secrets never stay hidden for long and when everything comes out who will be left standing.
I can't express just how much I enjoyed this story and all the characters. Now I just have to find the patience to wait for book two.

Excerpt
“I’m so bad for you. If I was a good guy, I’d stop. I’d let
you be happy.”
I didn’t understand any of what he was saying, but the pain
I felt. Deep. In his rocky, strangled voice and his desperate, cracking eyes.
“Whatever it is I’ll understand. If you did something…if
something happened…I’ll understand.”
Tell me. Please.
Let me in.
His stare dug into me, and again I was certain he was
searching for something. I desperately wanted him to find it.
He exhaled, resigned.
“I’m not a good guy. I’m the fucking worst.” He captured my
face in his palms, grip sure and almost painful in its desperation. The way he
looked at me, I was sure he would kiss me. The way I felt, I was certain I
would let him.
But then, with slow and almost agonizing determination, his
lips came to my forehead.
I was frozen. Mute. Struck dumb. Everything stopped working
all I knew was his lips on my skin. Soft and so tender, a complete contrast to
his grip digging into my skull.
He pulled back, pressed his forehead to mine, and looked at
me from beneath hooded lids.
“I’m going to put the awe back in your eyes,” he said, and
my breath caught. “You looked at me like I was a god once, and you’ll do it
again.”
