Conflicted A Bit
I liked the story. The sexy parts were steamy. The brothers were alpha enough, but....
I just couldn't identify with the female lead. Our Thing (Kids of The District #2) DNF: 15%
Idk I physically couldn't read anymore- the writing really wasn't for me, (nor was the dialogue or characters) 🤷♀️.
I'm sorry but I couldn't - aka ✨my breaking point✨ -:
the heroine is a virgin and was making out with this one guy (because she wants to)- the hero sees this and proceeds to split them apart and beat the guy up- he doesn't think the other guy is good enough for her and says that the heroine is asking for it and pins her arms and unbuttons his jeans to 'get it over with'- the heroine starts crying and tells him to stop, so he pulls her into his truck to drive to her house - where she proceeds to want 'his forgiveness'- I'm sorry what?
For me it wasn't even about what happened (because I've read so many questionable things and loved the books)- it was about how unbelievably immature the characters were barely that far into the story- and how unlikeable they became because of it? I can't get over the fact that she wanted him to forgive her 🧍♀️.
So yeah- not for me 🤩. Our Thing (Kids of The District #2)
This one had the slight edge for me on the previous book in the series and this one unlike the first is definitely set firmly in the criminal underbelly. This is Cassidy Slater and Max Butchers story Cassidy is the baby Sister of Konnor and Max is a key player in the district.
A talented ballerina Cassidy lives and breathes for her art it’s been the sole focus in her life until now that is when a certain handsome butcher boy one with a delicious filthy mouth starts to take precedence. Right from the onset, she’s hooked despite knowing that for Max this is little more than sex. Until it isn’t and Max finds himself throwing out his entire rule book when it comes to one certain alluring dancer.
These two fall fast and hard with so much intensity between them. Cassidy now finding herself in the thick of a reality she has little previous experience of. But what she does know is that she wants Max and so will accept whatever she must if it means having him in her life. But With new horizons also comes danger as old enemies position Cassidy in their sights shes basically collateral damage for someone’s else’s revenge.
I enjoyed this one a lot it managed to easily pull me into the narrative and these two have so much chemistry together it finishes on a HFN so no cliffhanger and I’m definitely ready for more Cassidy and Max in the next book which I’m looking forward to starting.

www.beckiebookworm.com Our Thing (Kids of The District #2) Our Thing was not what I was expecting at all. For starters the whole story is ridiculous. Max plays Rugby in College and is supposedly a bad boy mafia guy. Cassidy is definitely a silly little girl who has a major crush on Max and is willing to just be another bed partner and is also willing to except whatever scraps he decides to give her. Cassidy is only 18 and has parents that she lives with but the mother isn't even part of the story and the father seems to fade away when Max decides Cassidy is going to stay at his family's house and in his bed. Hello where are all the adults? Konnor's story is in book 1 which I didn't read but the family doesn't seem to know anything about the girlfriend which I found weird. Overall this book was not for me and I don't plan to continue with this series. Our Thing (Kids of The District #2) I have been in the deepest reading rut and Our Thing by Nicci Harris completely fixed me!! I absolutely adore ballerina/mafia hero books. I consume them from the very first page and Our Thing was just perfect to dive into. Max and Cassidy were fantastic!! She was innocent and sassy and he was a dark and absolutely delicious. I loved them so so much!
Gah! Who knew I would fall in love with the Butcher boys the minute I read this. Max was an absolute alpha -dangerous and possessive but Cassidy dished it back to him and then some. Their chemistry was perfection and I loved seeing Max and his dominance fall at the feet of the ballerina he didn't see coming. If there was one drawback to the story at all I would add that Cassidy's inner monologue seemed somewhat immature. Seeing the exclamation marks to emphasize her thoughts definitely took me out of the story and made her seem very young at times. Granted, she just turned eighteen, but it done enough where it was noticeable and distracting.
Overall, this book was amazing and I can't wait to dive into book two. 4 stars! ~Ratula Our Thing (Kids of The District #2)

She's a good girl with the whole world at her feet.
He's a bad boy with his foot on the world.
As the youngest leading ballerina in my academy, my days are set. Routine. No time for boys. Unfortunately, my mind didn't get the memo, because there is always one name playing on my lips. . . Max Butcher.
The notorious bad boy of The District.
Hot to the point of physical discomfort.
Dangerous. . .
So when he notices me, I struggle to stay en pointe.
But he finds me infuriating. A silly little girl. He wants to keep me out of his business and away from him and other men. He wants to protect my body - protect my innocence.
But not even Max Butcher can stick to his guns.
And the further into his world I'm led, the more danger gathers.

Our Thing can be read without book one and has a happily for now with part two live. Part two has a happily ever after. This book features a powerful and moody hero and an endearing and determined heroine. Both main characters are possessive and fight for each other. It is a love story first. Word steam second. Violence and drama third. Enjoy. Our Thing (Kids of The District #2)
The Ballerina and The Gangster.
This got so freaking good in like the last 40%!
The beginning I was enjoying myself too but I tend to not like the whole big secret thing as far as the mafia mmc go. But I kept going because A) The side characters are amazing & B) it’s written as a duet so I was more lenient.
I don’t really know how to describe it… like yes you’re saying you’re big and bad but I need you to show me….
And Max Butcher did. He reaaaalllly did! Sure it took towards the end but the ball didn’t stop rolling after that point and it was un-put-a-downable.
Side note: Cassidy is a dork & I love her. Toni is hilarious and I wish I had a best friend like that. Our Thing (Kids of The District #2) 3 stars. I don't really know what to think about this book... Our Thing (Kids of The District #2) I don’t mind a ridiculously over-the-top pulp fiction, but I just couldn’t get over the fact that the heroine, an 18 year old Pollyanna who grew up coddled by her loving family, who is a professional ballet dancer, and who says “frick” instead of “fuck,” all of a sudden is capable of stabbing and shooting her would-be rapist then go on her merry way, still saying “frick” this and “frick that.” Too funny. Our Thing (Kids of The District #2) Resmen her şeyi dördüncü kitabı okumak için yapıyorum.
Aslında 3 ve 4 ayrı olarak okunabilir deniliyor ama minik ocd boncuklarına yazıklar olsun ki bir şeye ortadan başlayamam. Yapamam yani. O yüzden serinin ilk kitabını da, ikincisini de okumam gerekiyor. Bu beni ne kadar yaralasa da...
Sevdim de diyemem sevmedim de...
Kitapta çok fazla boşluk var. Karakterler fena değil gibi ama oğlan da çok ufak ya. 24 yaşında süt gibi çocuk, şimdi ben bunu nasıl ciddiye alayım ki okurken :D Kız da 18'inde. Tamam mis gibi gençlik aşkı olur, başka. O konuda değil sıkıntı. Mafya ailesi oğlanınki ama oğlanı bi gör... Sanırsın lider anunim.
Kız da balerin. Niyeyse oğlanla tanıştıktan sonra baleyi unutuverdi s:Ds:D Başta ne güzel onları da anlatıyordu ediyordu, sonra sevişmekten fırsat kalmadı herhalde.
Ehh işte bir kitap. Hani böyle detaylı anlatasım bile gelmiyor :D Our Thing (Kids of The District #2) Oh. My. Max. 🥵🔥♥️ I loved Blesk & Konnor in the first book of this series & was excited to continue on with the story. This story follows Cassidy Slater (Konner’s younger sister) & Max Butcher. This is a story of opposites attracting. Cassidy is a young, naive ballerina & Max is a hardened bad boy living his life “in” the family business. Max tries to stay away from Cassidy, but neither one can fight the pull. The chemistry between these two is HOT 🔥
I struggled putting this book down. The more I got to know these main characters, the more I fell in love with them. Cassidy’s quirky humor and Max’s no bullshit attitude made for some interesting banter. In this book we learn more about The District & get a better glimpse at the realities of how different these two characters world’s truly are. The lines of good vs bad are blurred in this story. Sometimes good people do bad things for the right reasons. This book is very much centered on family & Ive enjoyed getting to know the supporting characters better. If you are triggered by rape, anger issues, violence or abuse then do not read this book. Our Thing (Kids of The District #2)
