Review | Drew + Fable by Monica Murphy



 Temporary. That one single word best describes my life these last few years. I’m working at a temporary job until I can finally break free. I’m my little brother’s temporary mother since our mom doesn’t give a crap about either of us. And I’m that temporary girl all the guys want to get with because I give it up so easily. According to the rumors, at least.
But now I’m the temporary girlfriend of Drew Callahan, college football legend and all around golden guy. He’s beautiful, sweet—and he’s hiding way more secrets than I am. He’s brought me into this fake life where everyone seems to hate me. And everyone seems to want something from him. The only thing he seems to want though is…
Me.
I don’t know what to believe anymore. All I know is, I think Drew needs me. And I want to be there for him.

Lost. That one single word best describes my life at this very moment. I lost the last games of the season and both my team and my coach blame me. I lost the last two months because I drowned in my own despair like a complete loser. And I lost the only girl who ever mattered because I was afraid being with me would destroy her.
But now I realize how truly lost I am without her. She has become my story…and even though she acts like she’s moved on, I know she still thinks about me just as much as I think about her. She’s beautiful, sweet—and so damn vulnerable, all I want to do is help her. Be there for her.
Love her…
If only I could convince Fable to give me a second chance. Then I wouldn’t feel so lost anymore, and neither would she. We could be found together.
Forever.

     Too caught up.

That's how I actually felt when I was reading these books. Drew and Fable is a perfect not-perfect couple and I just love getting sucked into their story.

"I'm in love with a jerky asshole and damn, that's painful to admit."

What started as a job turned out to be a twisted but insanely good fairy tale between them. These two had definitely been through a lot but somehow they saved each other from all of those bad things between them. 

The ending of the first book was definitely heart breaking but it had a good impact in the second book because Drew somehow changed and now that he's known what it was like to be without Fable, he would never let her go.

For a passion that's
Able to shine like ours
Blessed are we to
Love
Each other

I loved how the story had even good and bad events. How the amount of bad things that happened to them was just enough. Not like others I've read that the author is like punishing the characters so much it makes me want to pull my hair out. 

"I love you. You know that, right?" 
I frown. "Yeah, I know. I love you too. Lots."
"Lots?"
"Mega lots."
"Sounds like a discount store."

I also loved the characters very much. Drew and Fable had their fair share of messed up lives but they understand each other and they never gave up on each other. Fable is an amazing, independent and a very responsible woman and I adore her very much for understanding Drew. I liked that Drew isn't your usual cocky and arrogant football jock. I loved how he opened up to Fable and that he really cared so much for her. I also like their playful moments and when they are teasing each other. ;)

Drew is...
Delicious
Real
Extra sexy and...
Wonderful

Even though Owen is somewhat screwed up too, he is a very protective little brother and I love his and Fable's closeness. I liked Andy's character too even though Drew mentioned him as a cold person, he turned out to be a very understanding person in the end. But their mothers however, I did not like them one bit. Man! Adele is a sick person! I was surprised at that one part where we got to see from Adele's point of view. I wanted to strangle her then push her in front of a moving train! Haha. She does bring out a violent streak in people. 

I was deceived by the cover and this book was definitely not what I expected but if this was ever going to have another book, I would gladly read it 'cause I love these characters so much. :) But if ever this is going to be the last, that would be okay too because I think the ending was already perfect :)
