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.

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.”



Review:
Skater Boy was an interesting read.   I was super excited for this one but then I struggled a bit to get into it.  In the beginning I felt like I was missing something, it wasn't clicking and flowing for me.  At first it was almost like I started reading chapters into the book and not at the beginning.   I felt the characters knew each other but I had no idea their connections.  I picked it up and put it several time before everything finally clicked with me and I began enjoying it.   The writing style was a little different then I'm used to so I think that's what I struggled with at first.   Once I started getting into the past of the characters I felt more comfortable and started to understand the characters better.    The story is Tweetie and Flip's story.  Both are coming back to the Patchwork House after being gone.  There's a lot of angst and back and forth between these two.   Flip has a secret that he's keeping from Tweetie and it's kind of a big secret.  This one is a slow burn romance.    Besides the little hiccups I had in the beginning this one, it was a good read and I will definitely be checking out more of the Patchwork House series when they come out. 
3 1/2 Amazeballs Stars!!
