Taboo Shorts #6
Rowdy
ROWDY
From the moment I saw Cassandra I wanted her, but she was the daughter of my trainer, and I knew she was off-limits. Even if she gave me the time of day, I knew I could be overprotective, dominating, and infuriate a person to no end. It’s how I was, and I couldn’t change that, even if I did have the balls to be with her.
CASSANDRA
I wanted a guy I couldn’t really have. My father trained Rowdy, and I knew the fighter would never be with me because of those ties. But I’ve wanted him since I was sixteen years old. Five years later and I’m still pinning after a guy that probably doesn’t even see me as more than his trainer’s daughter.
But then we’re at the same party, the alcohol is flowing, and the inhibitions are down. I find myself in bed with the one man I’ve wanted for years, and the one thing I can’t stop thinking about is what will happen when morning comes.

She loved creating new characters and delving into the worlds that she creates. When she’s not panicking about a story or arguing with a character, she can be found in her kitchen creating all kinds of havoc. Like her stories the creations in the kitchen can be just as dubious but sometimes things turn out great.

Great, short and sexy read. Rowdy and Cassandra made a great couple. I wish it was longer. I had hoped for more story for Malachi and Violet (Cocky book 5) no such luck though.
-hot alpha fighter
-no cheating or ow/om drama
-some pushing away by hero
-hot and sexy scenes
-very short
-epilogue was ok, would have liked it to be further out. I need info on babies etc

This story is about a VIRGIN and a hero.
And in case you dont get it, its mentioned like around 10 times in this short book.
I think her hymen got layerssss now.
That being said, purely an average read. I didn't like the characters much.
Hero= douchy
Heroine= doormat
Hymen= Initially present then POOF
2.5/5

This is the sixth book in the Taboo Shorts series. If you've read the fifth book in the series, Cocky then you know Rowdy is Violet's older brother. Eric has been training Rowdy how to fight for several years and Rowdy thinks of him as a second father. Rowdy never expected to fall for his trainer's only daughter but he has become obsessed with Cassandra and will stop at nothing to have her. Cassandra loves her Dad and she loves spending time with him at the boxing gym he owns. Cassandra wants Rowdy and knows that no one will ever live up to him but she thinks he wouldn't give her the time of day.

Didn't like H much, esp how he treated h after they slept together. Not sure where the "taboo" was, too.

Yeah I had to read this one too. Male lead is a hoe too. Yep a manslut manhoe. Just every derogatory name you come up with who doesn't deserve any virginal girl who offers everything to him. And you can guess the female lead in this one is a virgin. Who deserves a lot better than this male. I read the epub version.

Me gustó la historia de Rowdy y Cassie, pero no es tabú ni ahí. Entiendo que forme parte de la serie porque Rowdy es hermano de Violet, la prota del quinto libro, pero no que su historia se considere tabú. Se enamora de la hija de su entrenador de boxeo, dónde está lo malo o tabú de eso?
No está mal, no es una maravilla, pero no está mal.

He terminado con está saga, al fin y debo decir que me puso muy triste que terminará tan mal la serie. Porque todos los Short Tales anteriores habían sido por lo menos un poco diferentes a lo que estoy acostumbrada y ahora este me parece mucho cómo un mal libro de Wattpad del 2010.

Does anyone proofread these? I found at least 5 errors in a short story!

He terminado Taboo Shorts Serie (gracias al cielo) y no me llevo nada a casa.
Básicamente las seis historias que componen la serie se basan en lo mismo.
•Héroe ególatra, super guapo, pene gigante, músculos en los músculos, dirty talker, mujeriego, blabla.
•Heroína virgen (o casi virgen), sin experiencia sexual, pero con un cuerpo curvilíneo despampanante y que a pesar de su nula sexualidad, folla como actriz porno.
•Historia de como se desean, como tienen el pene parado y la v*gina mojada en lo largo de la novela blabla, obviamente con HEA, ya saben, se casan, tienen una horda de mocosos y felices para siempre. Porque ese es el único sueño que tenemos las mujeres del siglo XXl (nótese el sarcasmo).
Nada nuevo, nada BUENO, mucho sexo, y ni siquiera las historias eran taboo. Quizá las dos primeras, pero cuando leía las otras me preguntaba: ¿Dónde está lo prohibido aquí?

Uma festa é o cenário para o final desse série que não tem muita coisa a oferecer, a não ser que você adore cenas aleatórias e uma caracterização bem meia boca.
Cassandra e Rowdy querem um ao outro, mas o pai da garota é seu treinador e o respeito vem em primeiro lugar, mas uma noite com música e álcool fará ambos repensarem (ou não pensarem em nada).
Amei tudo nesse livro, foi de um todo o melhor livro da série. Com um romance que não é em nenhum ponto perfeito, tem brigas e desentendimento - o que é difícil de ver em short como essas.
Cassandra é uma gracinha e decidida quando precisa ser, e doce quando é necessário. Rowdy por outro lado é um protagonista legal, mas que às vezes é um babaca quando fica indeciso.
Enfim, é uma série que não é nada demais. Mas pode ser do seu gosto.

ARC received from author in exchange for an honest review
Rowdy has had his eye on his trainer's daughter, Cassandra, but won't cross that line thinking it will be disrespecting to her dad. And he doesn't know that Cassandra has been in love with him for a while now, but didn't think he was interested in her because of the way she looks.
So one night when they are at a party and she got a little drunk she took her chance. They spent the night together but the next morning Rowdy tells her he made a mistake. And she leaves not even waiting for an explanation.
We met Rowdy in the previous book, and I liked him immediately. So I wanted to read his story, but after their night together and what happened, I thought she gave in to quickly..
HOT/SEXY/STEAMY AND OTT ALPHA

Rowdy is a fighter and has been in love with his trainer's daughter for years. However, he has never made a move because (1) he doesn't want to damage the relationship he has with her dad, and (2) because he doesn't feel that he is good enough for her.
Cassandra has wanted Rowdy to be hers since she was sixteen years old. But she knows he will never risk anything with her and probably only sees her as his trainer's little girl.
When the two end up at a party and alcohol is involved, admissions will be made. But will there be regret?
Rowdy is a fast read told from dual POVs with a happy ending.

I really didn't think I would like Rowdy after meeting him in Cocky, boy was I wrong. He is pure yumminess!! Rowdy has had his eye on his trainer's daughter, Cassandra, but won't cross that line thinking it will be disrespecting to her dad. Cassandra loves Rowdy from afar but thinks Rowdy see's her as a kid. After one night at a party, Rowdy wakes up feeling guilty for being with Cassandra and breaks her heart. Realizing he made a huge mistake, he sets out to win her back. I love Rowdy and Cassandra together. Short, Sweet and oh so hot!

First, I didn't care for the sudden concurrency between two last books in this series. I kind of liked the fact those taboo books were unrelated to each other.
Second, I wouldn't mind if Cocky and Rowdy were excluded from the Taboo Short series and became (and continued as) a separate book series about fighters. No, I wouldn't mind it at all.
That being said, I have only one word about this book. Rowdy! ❤️

Short but kind of sweet
However, please hire a better editor. The mis used pronouns distract the reader from the story and the atrocious grammar mistakes take away from what was really a sweet love story. Rowdy is a great alpha male and Cass a likeable foil to Rowdy. Just please, please, please do something about the grammar and spelling.

Although I enjoyed this book, Cocky is still my favourite book of the series. I liked the characters and I liked the storyline. Rowdy is a short and hot read.
I loved how Cassandra put her feelings for rowdy across. And I loved how accepting Cassandra’s dad was of the relationship. I can’t wait for more from this series.

Short and uber sweet!
I enjoy reading short, insta-love stories such as this one! After reading the story about Malachi courting Rowdy's sister Vio!et and his not so happy reaction, I couldn't wait to see if karma played her part in Rowdy's story. I totally loved the way that violet based her soul to Rowdy! Their HEA is awesome.

Heroine was too much of a pushover...really...especially after what he said to her after taking her virginity maybe she should get some pointers from Voliet. The hero was a real jerk considering how he tried to stop his sister's relationship when her man was soo much better than him.
The sex scences were erotic.

The drunken cherry popping tumble that they waited years for wasn't as beautiful a moment as it was hyped up to be. The acceptance of a father who knows the daughter he's raised and the man he helped to mold was swoon worthy.

Editing is worth it
I can't stand paying for a book that is littered with proofreading errors! Missing words, wrong words used are things I expect to be edited prior to making someone pay for a story.
The story, while a short, still felt rushed and awkward.

3 Estrelas!
Tal como os livros anteriores desta série, este também é minúsculo, o que faz com que seja bastante rápido e a história não seja bem desenvolvida, por isso eu não gostei muito porque a premissa é excelente mas tudo acontece demasiado rápido e a correr.
