Loving the Enemy

Sweet Valley University Thriller Editions #15

by Francine Pascal (Creator), Laurie John

Jessica Wakefield is taken hostage.  A shocking choice will change her life....

When Jessica Wakefield walked into the Red Lion, all she wanted was a cup of coffee.  Instead, she got a gun in her face--when everyone inside the popular hangout is taken hostage by a fellow student gone mad.

Jessica never imagined that shy, innocent-looking Trevor Paley would be capable of committing such a violent act.  He always seemed like a nice guy.  So Jessica figures she can talk Trevor down before the body count goes up.

But as she gets closer to Trevor, she comes to understand why he snapped.  She even begins to like him.  And she's no longer sure if she wants to turn him in....

About the author

Francine Paula Pascal was an American author best known for her Sweet Valley series of young adult novels. Sweet Valley High, the backbone of the collection, was made into a television series, which led to several spin-offs, including The Unicorn Club and Sweet Valley University. Although most of these books were published in the 1980s and 1990s, they remained so popular that several titles were re-released decades later.

It was around the time of this release and when they basically wrote Nick Fox out of the series that I gave up reading SVU and was glad I did. This is the lamest SVU thriller edition since The Roommate. I mean we have two idiotic robbers that didn't even case the joint out first. Trevor was a former student. He should have known it was still summer break and there wouldn't be that much money in the till. And why was a good A plus student like Trevor involved? His excuse? It was his brother dammit! He had to. Brothers stick together.

And of course Jessica had to be attracted to him because he's dangerous. Gosh hasn't she learned anything from dating wild and dangerous guys? Guess not.

Spoilers:

Jessica, friends (Lila, Alexandra and Denise) and several other patrons were held hostage (by one of her former classmates, Trevor) at a diner. Will Trevor's decision in helping his brother to rob the diner, the biggest mistake of his life or would he spark up a romance with Jessica?

About the book: I didn't feel like there was much going on in the book, yet, there was a lot going on during the chaos created by Trevor and his brother. It's kind of hard to explain...
