No one, seeing them together,
could possibly think, “Good idea.”
DESTINED
Ford
I’ve been hung up on my twin sister’s best friend since kindergarten. Reluctantly, I let her go and stopped looking for a replacement. What are the odds a guy still in high school could be struck by lightning twice?
Then Eren Sanchez steamrolled into me—my car, her truck. It was completely her fault. Now, her father is making her act as my driver until my car is fixed. We might not survive that long. She’s infuriating, a pain, and grumpy. I’m torn between flicking her hard on her forehead with my finger . . . and kissing her.
Where did that come from?
Eren
Being the only girl in a house full of guys has taught me a lot about men. I can eat just as fast, tune an engine, change your oil, and lay you out in a heartbeat if you cross any lines. I’m not a first-degree blackbelt for nothing.
Still, being one of the guys isn’t the same as being *with* a guy. This is new. And slightly terrifying. But what’s the first rule in any fight? Never let them know you’re scared. That probably applies to . . . er, other things as well.
Bluff until you’re tough. Or enough. Weird that I suddenly care about that. I never have before.
Looking for love in all the wrong places? This enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract romp will have you laughing out loud and swooning in secret. Dive into Book 3 in the hilariously fun Dryden High Sweet series by Randi Rigby.

.this one was actually a little bit better than the last one! The plot was pretty good to understand, even tough there was some small pionts in the book where it would like be really slow then super fast.
✮⋆˙𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 ✮⋆˙
Eren: Literally half of the book was her just complaining about how small she was. Like girl.. her having older brothers that are overprotective was real tho! I just wish she wasn't as pick me ish.
Ford: I liked him a LOT better than Eren. He loved his girl a whole lot and was so forgiving of her. He literally was almost begging for her to stay with him like ARRRRGHHHH. THATS A MAN.
✮⋆˙𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 ✮⋆˙
The lowborn was defo slowburning. I loved how Ford just started to like her right of the bat and Eren was so stubborn to like him. That is actually so real fr.

For a short review with no spoilers, I just thought that this book had a lot of different plot lines and that it was very confusing to read.
The rest of this review will contain spoilers. You’ve been warned.
Ok so like it was a very fast read which was nice but the time frame and the events that were happening were a lot. So the whole reason the mfc and the mmc start to know eachother is because the mfc and the mmc get into a car crash. As punishment the mfc has to drive the mmc around until his car is fixed. I believe that they were driving around together for like three weeks to a month and then they get together. But from my understanding he just kinda said “ur my gf now” and she was like “ok lol.” I might be wrong about that but that’s what it seamed like to me. And then there was the whole burglary arch which wasn’t brought up enough to where when they would reveal something new i would have alry forgot about it because there was other stuff going on. And the whole like pageant thing didn’t really make sense but that might just be my brain. I did like the ending it was very cute and i thought it wrapped everything up properly. The fluf was also enjoyable. I’ve read the previous two books of the series and i am currently reading the last one but this my least favorite.

I absolutely love this sweet series! Randi Rigby writes with such a natural sense of comedic timing, yet also weaves in real life high school emotions, and complex family drama.
What starts out as an unfortunate fender bender ends up intrinsically changing the lives of Dryden High School seniors Eren Sanchez and Ford Greene.
Eren didn't grow up girly. She was much more likely to be found under the hood of a car at the family's repair shop. Much to her dismay, Eren's father is determined she learn from her mistakes, so Eren is about to become far more familiar with one of Dryden Highs most popular guys than she would like.
Ford was raised with all that money could buy yet it didn't help with the extreme drama he lived with at home. Being thrown into daily forced proximity with Eren Sanchez will prove quite interesting and it quickly seems he is looking forward to every one of those days.
Just when Ford and Erin feel like their relationship is moving in a positive direction, events playing out behind the scenes are working to destroy it just as quickly.
I received an ARC and freely offer this review.

I have always lived ford and was waiting for his book so this was AHHHHH I just fell more and more in love with him. I loved Eren, her sass was everything and I loved her brothers. This one was truly a family book and that made it so much sweeter than the other ones. I also loved how she really became one with the family and fords friends easily but naturally. And their relationship was adorable, slow paced but you could always tell it was there.

4 stars ⭐️
LOVED this one. Has been my favorite of the series so far! Ford and Eren are so. cute.
I also just love books about girls living in a house with all boys. It's always so amusing and Eren's brothers were super funny.
My favorite was the whole Mr. Dryden High pageant fundraiser (especially the kissing booth drama 🤭) it was hysterical lol
Was so excited to see that there's gonna be a book 4 about Eliza!! Can't wait :)

really enjoyed this book and definitely kept this series in my good graces. ford and eren were SO CUTEEE. the fact that when they “met” they had gone to school for like 8 years and ford never even noticed. i also find it funny how late in the first book likes him but he pushes away and now you truly find out how much he actually LIKED HER. but i’m glad he got his own story and love story. i said in my review of the last book but these books have added more violence into them. can’t truly remember well but eren actually lives in a famous person’s backyard and rents the shed out to ford and his ban, anyway the point is, is that at one point my girl GETS MUGGED. using her AWESOME black belt skills she actually manages to TAKE DOWN those weirdos. also ADORE halstons little fundraiser with all the boyfriend having compete. honestly, i now want to re read the book JUST so that i can re read kai TAKE DOWN the boys with flirting. love how i forgot the name of the little girl but instead of “ford” it becomes “ford and eren” honestly so cute. love how it’s also forced proximity with her driving him around and then growing closer is just overall so cuteeee. love this series GIVE ME THE NEXT ONE!
