J. Nathan is one of my favorite new adult writers so I’m always excited when she publishes a new story. And just like her other books, I really enjoyed this story!
Grace never expected her father to die when she was 17 years old or that she would have to leave her house and home town to move to the Grayson manor where her mother lives and works as a housekeeper. If all that wasn’t hard enough, the three sons who live there aren’t really happy with her presence there. The youngest brother Sawyer may be kind to her but his two older brothers Seren and Saint are cold, spoiled and selfish. Their handsome looks may have girls falling for them but Grace isn’t one of them. And especially the oldest brother Seren seems to dislike her very much! But Grace isn’t afraid to stand up to him or to the other rich bullies. And the more Seren pushes her, the more Grace pushes back but somewhere along the way, Grace and Seren get to know each other better and Seren shows Grace a side of him that nobody else knows. Something is blossoming between them and feelings are growing but not everyone is happy about that, especially not the rich girls on Seren’s school. And there is also a secret enemy with their own secret plans to harm Seren and his family. Can Grace and Seren keep each other safe and can their newfound love overcome all opposition against them?
‘Seren’ is a high school bully romance story. I read a lot of different romance genres but I haven’t read many bully stories. I think part of the reason for it is that I’m afraid that the main character will take the bullying too far but knowing J. Nathan’s writing style, I knew that I didn’t have to worry about that in this story and I was right! Yes, there was bullying in the book but it wasn’t anything too dramatic or emotional. And the fact that we got both POV’s in the story, gave us also more insight into Seren’s emotions, actions and thoughts.
The main characters Grace and Seren may only be 17 years and 18 years old but I still found them mature for their age. Especially Grace acted sensible and wise in difficult situations. At first glance, Grace and Seren couldn’t be more different but if you looked deeper, you saw that they shared things too. Both lost their father, someone they loved very much. Both had big dreams for their future. Seren wanted to be a professional football player and Grace wanted to work in a rescue sea center to work with wounded sea animals. Both worked hard to achieve their goal. From the start there was chemistry between them but where in the beginning Seren’s focus was more into bullying Grace, later into the story it changed into something else, his focus became thoughtful and more sensitive. Seren’s focus was always intense, he never lost that, not when he was doing bad things or good things. really liked that about him! Grace and Seren may be young but their feelings for each other were very strong and intense. Neither of them doubted the other or their feelings. Maybe also interesting to know, there were a few sex scenes in the story.
The secondary character were also interesting. Some character we got to know better than others. There was Grace’s mother Rosalie and Seren’s mother and stepfather. From the two brothers, we got to know Sawyer better than Saint. Saint stayed a bit of a mystery. But I have my fingers crossed that maybe the writer will give us him and Sawyer’s story too. I would really love that. Grace’s friends Holly and Laney were wonderful friends, there were kind, funny, supportive and very protective of Grace too.
I’m really happy that the writer have us an epilogue at the end. I’m always curious to see a glimpse into the couple’s future.
‘Seren’ is a great story, it reminded me a bit of ‘The royals’ series by Erin Watt, if you have read those books and liked them, try this book too.

Intense. Intriguing. Intoxicating. Irresistible. I loved this love story!

I just met my first J Nathan book and it was love at first sight! From the moment I sank into Seren, I was instantly smitten. I hungrily devoured every word, drowning in the pages that were my air to breathe. With its drool-worthy cover, delicious dialogue, crush-worthy hero, and soap opera-worthy storyline, what’s not to love? Seren mesmerized my mind while hugging my heart and soul.A new adult love story of two broken souls becoming whole, Seren features an angry football god and a beautiful housekeeper’s daughter whose lives collide in the most unexpected of ways. I love how this hero and heroine are deeply drawn, their pasts weaving them together in a way that makes them kindred spirits … soulmates with a love that’s inevitable. It felt like unwrapping a gift as I discovered Seren’s many layers, a hero whose hidden heart is the best gift of all.Told through the eyes of Pride and Prejudice, Seren is a moving tale that shows the repercussions of quick judgements, and what it means to truly be loved. Weaving in Jane Austin’s timeless love story made Seren even more special. I applauded its themes of being true to oneself and daring to be different, which strike straight to the teenage soul. This gripping, guilty pleasure of a romance bleeds angst and blazes with fire and feels … exploding off the pages! Intense. Intriguing. Intoxicating. Irresistible. I loved this love story.💋💋💋💋💋 bold and breathtaking kisses
