My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author and I was not disappointed. I fell in love with this book from the very first page of it. I was not able to put the book down until I had finished from the beginning to end. I highly recommend this book to any and everyone. You won’t be disappointed.
Greer Smith’s circumstances change radically her senior year of high school. Moving from an apartment to a multimillion-dollar mansion should be an easy transition, but her soon-to-be stepbrother makes it hell on earth.
Beckett Dawson is a football god and an arrogant jerk. He makes it clear Greer is not welcome in his home or at his elite private school. And yet, the battle with herself is more confusing than the one with Beckett.
Even with confusing and unexpected obstacles, Greer is determined to find a way to not only survive but also to thrive, no matter what Beckett throws her way. But he’s not going to make it easy.
I’m excited to read more books from the author in the near future

A great stepbrother enemies to lovers romance. The chemistry between the characters was well written, and the story had enough drama, angst and suspense to keep you turning the pages. Both main characters took a while for me to warm to, but they won me over throughout the story as I learnt more about them. Overall a enjoyable read.

I’m fairly new to the enemies to lovers, step siblings trope and Battling Beckett was probably the best book to really break into it. Greer and Beckett start off on the wrong foot. He thinks her and her mom are gold digging hussys who will cause nothing but heartbreak for his dear old dad. And it’s up to Beckett to protect said dad at all costs. He’s a jerk. There is not better way to put it. But he has some redeeming qualities that show he is not a lost cause. He has strong protective instincts and when he starts to realize his own faults, the ice in my heart for him started to melt more. Beckett and Greer’s story was a great new read. I would definitely recommend it if you are new to this trope or already a big fan.

I truly love this author! She writes her romance with such a realistic feel and it’s not an easy trek to her MC and FC happily ever after. Beckett and Greer left their mark! Hot hero falling hard but can explain why. Jealous and possessive over his girl. Greer is sweet, supportive, and lovable. She brought out his good and he brought out her spirit and put her on a pedestal. He bullied and pushed her in a corner, but she was the one to trap him in the end. I enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to give it a second read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For me, there is nothing better than an angsty romance, and Battling Beckett gave me exactly what I was looking for, far exceeding my expectations.

Greer is so far from the life she has known. Her mother has just become engaged to a very, very rich man, and now finds herself living in a mansion with none other than her soon-to-be stepbrother, Beckett Dawson. Needless to say, these two are complete opposites. He is the ruler of his private school and the center of everyone’s attention. Greer, on the other hand, tries to blend into the background, just trying to make it through the next nine months until she leaves for college. Beckett has made it very apparent, she and her mother are not welcome. Yet, he feels this pull towards her that he has never experienced before, which makes him even more frustrated and angry. He makes it his plan to break Greer so she will eventually show her true colors, but it may be Greer that breaks Beckett.

As I noted before, the story itself is fantastic, keeping my attention throughout the book. The characters, even the secondary ones, were people I felt invested in. Greer comes across as a timid heroine, but as the book unfolds, she becomes more confident and is determined to not let people walk all over her. I have to say I wasn’t a big fan of Beckett in the beginning. I thought he was going to be your normal, entitled jerk, but he really wasn’t. I could understand his motivation, to protect his father. He revealed his true colors as a guy who passionately protects those he loves.

In older reviews, some have mentioned that the book needed a good proofreader and editor. For those of you who are hesitant to read this one because of that reason, it has been re-edited, and I saw no major editing or proofreading mistakes.

If you are looking for a good story with great characters, you should give Battling Beckett a try! You won’t be disappointed.

Greer is starting her senior year at a new school and in a new house, well mansion is a better description. Her and her mom have moved in with her mom’s wealthy fiancé and his son. Beckett seems determined to make Greer’s life more difficult. All she wants is to fly under the radar for the next 9 months, but Beckett runs hot and cold. It doesn’t help that despite the fact he is a jerk to her she finds herself increasingly attracted to him. Can they survive their senior year? Will the attraction win? I really enjoyed this book. It was a little of a slow start but definitely picked up.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a good book and I did like the characters. Of course at the beginning I didn’t like Beckett as a character due to the cocky attitude. Greer was someone that I felt like I could be friends with. She was sacrificing her happiness so that her mom could find her happily ever after. Leaving your childhood friends behind and being the new person at a new school isn’t easy. Especially when you go from being a nobody to being the center of attention. Beckett has been taught from an early age that there are people out there that would use him for his money. He thought that Greer and her mother were gold diggers and felt that he needed to look out for his father. Greer and her mother had been on their own for years and weren’t used to having a man in their lives that wanted to take care of them. They both worked hard for what they had and they were determined to remain independent. What would you do if you were threatened with being cut off from money and having to earn your own? Beckett does the only thing he knows will keep him on his dad’s good side, keep an eye out for Greer. While trying to catch Greer in any kind of lie Beckett ends up falling in love with her. Has he done too much damage though? Will Greer be able to look past all the hurt he caused in the beginning and give them a chance at happiness?

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother RomanceBattling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed Battling Beckett, despite it bringing back memories of high school. I was that girl in high school then guys were embarrassed to admit openly they have feelings for. Making the main female character very relatable. The author wrote an extremely strong female lead that went through some devastating situations. Yet she still got back up and didn’t let that stop her.
Greer is new to high society, and her future step-brother Beckett has no desire to make it easy for her. She doesn’t fit in. She’d rather be back at her public school, though she knows the private school can open doors for her. Unfortunately she also has to deal with Beckett. She has no idea what his deal is, but she knows he’s always watching her.
Beckett, is how could my dad do this to me. Bringing home a woman and her daughter that’s just out for his family’s money. (That hit close to home too! Being accused of being something you’re not, especially when it comes to money.) And despite knowing all that Beckett can’t take his eyes off of Greer. His inner battles of attraction shouldn’t be happening. Least that’s how he sees it.
The growth between these two characters is a blessing in disguise. They both have trials and tribulations that they need to get passed.
Can they get past everything to be friends?
Can they get past it to potentially be more?
What happens when Greer ends up in a life threatening situation?
I’ve read this author before and I really enjoy sports romances. Just because this is a high school sports romance, anyone can read it. It has very real issues that are present in life everyday. And I loved how the author brings them to light throughout. Kids are cruel, Teens are worse, and Adults are the worst. People don’t realize how what one does or says can impact another person’s life no matter what age.
Overcoming those things are how we define ourselves.

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Sports Romance

I had to force myself to only read so much a day so I would do things like work, talk to my family instead of reading every free moment.  I’m too old for the young adult drama, but there is something about this author and her writing that make me want to forget everything and binge read.

There were so many things I liked and just as many that frustrated me. Most of those center around Beckett.

Greer learned a lot about people she thought were her friends and people she thought she should watch out for.

I overall enjoyed the book and look forward to the next book by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Greer and her mother move in to the Dawson home, she is not understanding the animosity she is getting from Beckett (her soon to be step-brother). He’s hot and cold…wants nothing to do with her but doesn’t want anyone else to have her…and he doesn’t trust her. When she starts at the elite private school, she is immediately the center of attention (which she hates). She has also garnered the attention of someone who wants her nowhere near Beckett. Just when Greer thinks that things are starting to ease up…and maybe her and Beckett are on the same page…she overhears a conversation that breaks her heart and pushes her right into the arms of the person who is out to hurt her. Can she ever trust anything that comes out of Beckett’s mouth? Or should she just bide her time and keep the peace until she leaves for college?

This was a good story that I found myself immersed in from the beginning. I can understand Beckett’s wariness…but even when his eyes were opened after speaking with his father, he still held onto the notion that Greer was not the person she portrayed. I wanted to smack some sense into him! I was rooting for them…but I could understand Greer’s reservations and applauded her standing her ground and standing up for herself. Overall, a good read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a quick romantic read – full length book but an easy read with a happy ending. It is quick to reach the “I love you”s, but with high school aged kids I think that is pretty normal with hormones running high and everything being new and overwhelming. In the beginning, Beckett is your typical bully, most popular guy in school, athletic and the one everyone wants to be associated with. Greer is the new girl in town (and school) in her senior year of high school. The problem is, Greer is Beckett’s new favorite target, and worse than not being able to just keep her distance at school, she lives in his house!

Greer’s mom and Beckett’s dad are dating. After being together for a short time, they decide for she and Greer to move in with he and Beckett. Beckett is (justifiably) angry and tries to prove they are just gold diggers, not really there because there are feelings involved. However, when Greer is targeted by others, Beckett comes to her defense. From there, it follows along their budding relationship. Overall, an enjoyable read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a enjoyable romance. It is a step-brother romance but it also has a feel of enemies to lovers too which gives the story a bit of a twist and makes it a read that’s full of angst and fire.
The characters were well written. Beckett is your typical rich kid who gets what he wants. He is a character that is written to he hated and at first with the way he treats Greer hate is definately what you feel towards him but through the story we see that change.

Greer has her whole life turned upside down when her mum moves them into a new home with Beckett and his dad. The feelings of hate are strong from Beckett the moment they meet. Greer is a quiet girl who doesn’t want the constant drama. All she wants to buckle down and succeed
However with Beckett making her life hell and the addition of the mean girls at school this is going to be no easy task for her.
Things get ever more complicated when Greer starts to develop romantic feelings towards Beckett.
Will she act on them or ignore them? Will Beckett ever treat her like she is more than something he stepped in? And what things get hard and Greer is in danger will he step in and protect her or walk away?
It is a fast paced romance full of angst and tension. The chemistry between them is felt through out the story even though at first it came across as hate. As a reader it was nice to actually see and feel the change.

Greer is living life under the radar just how she likes it, but when her mother decides to move them into the home of her boyfriend Greer’s life turns into a nightmare, not only a new home, new people but a new school is never good in the senior year but when she starts getting bullied the most unlikely hero comes to her rescue.

Beckett has had his battles but when his father moves in the new flavour of the month, he is determined to show them for the money grabbing woman she is. Beckett has always been an only child and with a new girl added to the mix has made things complicated but when Beckett starts to have feelings towards the interloper and defends her at school, can he really change?

This is not the first book by this author and this book does not disappoint one bit. I love the story and as always, the developed characters within this story. Beckett is a horrible individual in the beginning of this book, and I really did not enjoy the interactions he had with Greer but as always you slowly see him growing as a character and end up good in the end.

Greer’s character was a brilliant counter to Beckett, although at times you think she is a quiet mouse, don’t be fooled she ends up being a tiger and shows her true feelings as the story goes on. The story flows brilliantly and although this is a young adult story, you don’t feel this within the writing.

I love a good sports romance novel and this one was SO STINKING GOOD! The story revolves around Greer, who lives with her mom and whose world turns upside down when they move in with her mom’s fiancé into a multimillion mansion and is thrust into a new school. Now this is not only the huge shock, she also is learning how to navigate Beckett who is an athlete at the school and who is not thrilled that they have moved in with them. I could not put this book down! It had so many different twists and turns and I loved this story line! I cannot wait to read more books by this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It has been Beckett Dawson and his dad since his mom left when Beckett was 4. His dad always said that women were traitorous and usually out for his money. Beckett knew this was the case when his dad brought the Smith women into his life. The mom was just after his dad’s millions, and the daughter was probably no better. That is Beckett’s mission to prove to himself and his dad. But there just seems to be something about Greer that Beckett can’t shake, can’t figure out.

Greer Smith is used to being invisible, lost in a sea of high schoolers. Moving in with her mother’s fiance has made sure that is no longer possible. A new school for her senior year, living with the quarterback who hates her, and being thrust into a world of privilege has left Greer floundering. Greer tries to balance her independence, her growing attraction for Beckett, and her old friends as her new life takes some twists and turns.

Sssooooooooooooooooooooo, I thought this was going to be another typical bully romance, but Nope, nunuhn, no way! I stayed up way too late reading one night slash early morning because I didn’t want to put it down. This book is fantastic. The story grabs you and keeps you guessing. This might not be a straight dual POV, but I LOVE how you get both Greer and Beckett’s sides. I hope that this is not the end for these two characters. Can we get them in college or in a companion story??? Please!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, fantastic, wonderful, outstanding book.

This was my first read by this author & I was not disappointed! At first, I was concerned that it was going to be more along the lines of a tween/teenager read but I soon discovered I was wrong. I quickly found myself relating to Greer as a senior having to transition from a public school to a more exclusive “private” school. At first, as the reader, you find yourself feeling more and more sympathetic for Greer and her situation whilst developing a distaste for her soon-to-stepbrother Beckett. Don’t let this deter you! As the story develops, you begin to understand more about Beckett and his thought process per say. It is a mature read and definitely worth it for anyone who enjoys a well written contemporary romance.

Read this if you:
*Enjoy a quick read with lots of sexual tension
*Like an alpha hero and an introverted heroine
*Are fond of hot, steamy high school romances

Meet the Author: T. Christensen has been a lifelong resident of South Dakota. Being at home with her family is always her favorite place to be. T. Christensen has been addicted to reading since she read her first romance novel in middle school. Reading a romance novel is still the best reward at the end of the day.

Synopsis: “Her blood heated back up as she got over her shock at his Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality.” Greer sacrificed it all for her mother’s happiness. Her senior year of high school she packs up her apartment and moves into a mansion with her rich stepbrother Beckett and her mom’s Fiancé David. Joining a new elite private school full of mean girls was not what Greer signed up for. Beckett, a hot-headed football god is determined to push Greer away. Her and her mother are not welcome in his home, and he will be damned to let them gouge his dad for his money.

Reader’s Thoughts: This was my first time reading a novel written by T. Christensen and WOW, this one did not disappoint me. I sat down and read this in one afternoon. No matter how much I needed to get done, I just couldn’t put this one down. The characters were relatable in so many ways. The storyline was realistic portraying the “mean girls” as what I truly believe mean girls look like in today’s society.
In the beginning I wanted to slap some sense into Beckett, he was such a jerk! Then I found myself silently yelling at Greer for allowing Beckett to act the way he did. I found Greer’s enthusiasm for her mother’s happiness touching. For a young teenage girl to be so concerned about her mother’s happiness made my heart sing. And David, he instantly won me over. His threats to Beckett made me shout out loud. I can’t wait to read more from this author. I would love to see novels written around the stories of the side characters: Lexi and Pepper and there stunning football stars.

Favorite Quote: “Even though she fights me every step of the way, Greer makes me want to slay all her dragons. She has a quiet dignity no one can take away from her.

Battling Beckett
By: T. Christensen
5*

Greer’s life has been turned completely upside down. Her mom has fallen in love and has moved her into a mansion across town. This sounds like it would be the dream situation almost a rags to riches situation. Not if you are beginning your senior year of high school, like Greer is. She has to change her school and her friends. Instead of going to public school, she is going to go to the most expensive private school in the area. Truthfully she can’t believe all this is happening to her. On top of having a sort of dad she also has a sort of step brother. Who she can’t stand and is fascinated with all at the same time.
Beckett is also in his senior year of high school. And he has gained a home with two women. He doesn’t trust Greer’s mom and truthfully doesn’t trust Greer. But as the school year starts, he begins to question if Greer is actually as sweet and innocent as she appears. Maybe Greer’s motives are completely innocent.
There is no denying there is something between Greer and Beckett. But what is it? Beckett is determined to destroy Greer’s high school year. Greer is determined to make the best of it in an attempt to show support for her mom.
This book was truthfully very good. I loved the character of Greer. I thought she was very realistic. Definitely pick up this quick read!

This book was a great read. I enjoyed the storyline and the character development. This book is excellent if you like reading books from multiple points-of-views. It was nice to see how each of the two characters thought and felt at certain times.

In this book, you will fall in love with Greer. She is a strong girl that tries to take on all her battles alone and in silence—determined not to use others or the wealth they have. She gets thrown to the wolves by a person that should have shielded her. Then there is Beckett, the teenager that has it all. Money, status, friends, and a determination to never let a girl close.

What happens when two people from different worlds come together under one roof? Will there be sparks or fire? What if what is wrong feels right?

Want to know what happens with these two read and find out.

I give this book 3.5 stars. I loved the story but felt the end was rushed. The character development was great. The story lets you get an inside look at how mean kids can be to new kids, be possessive about things or people they think they have a claim to and how you can find friendship in the most uncommon people. I always enjoy a good enemies to lovers trope mixed with the stepbrother by marriage.

I personally really loved this semi-sweet romance. However there were a few editing issues which kind of pulled me out of the story as I was reading. But all in all it was a great story, full of romance, family, intrigue, suspense and more that it kept me interested through the story. The characters were great and you definitely felt the high school dynamic through the story. While this book was on the longer side there is definitely enough to keep you interested through the story as a whole.

Totally great!
Battling Beckett is a contemporary step-brother romance told that runs the high school ‘enemy to lover’ line. Beckett is an interesting character – one that I went through a lot of feelings over – he was not a very nice person. Greer was so strong and went through so much. This was an easy read but I feel that this would have been even better being told in first person and multiple POV allowing for a deeper connection and understanding of the motivations behind the characters. Light on steam and romance but still for mature readers.

This book is my first read by the author and it was okay. The characters seemed older than they were, but that could be because they were wealthy. The storyline had a solid idea, I just don’t think it was executed well. The book was very predictable and I could tell what was going to happen next consistently. The parent’s reaction seemed unrealistic but it helped keep the main idea of the book flowing.

This was a very good story. Our FMC finds herself in a mansion and new school where the MMC is less than pleased. What set this apart was that while there was catty girls it wasn’t OTT. While Beckekett was a jerk, he wasn’t impossibly so. He also didn’t “run the school” like other male leads have done in other books.

Soooo I have step siblings. I don’t like to use the word “step” because to me they’re just my siblings. That being said I was very curious as to how this book would make me feel seeing as I could never look at one of my siblings as anything but my sibling…BUT…no lie it was a great story.

I liked that they were from different social groups. Beckett is rich, popular, good looking quarter back of the football team. Every guy wants to be him and every girl wants to be with him. Greer is not poor but doesn’t come from money, quiet, not popular, pretty but a “no one really sees her” kinda girl.

I enjoyed the tension between the 2 of them. They both had internal battles about their relationship. They don’t really like the other person but can’t help this magnetic pull towards each other.

There is also some drama/danger there that makes the story a little more interesting and helps bring the couple closer together.

I think there was some really good supporting characters in the story as well. I really enjoyed how the football team started to treat Greer like a little sister.
All in all I really enjoyed the story. I think it’s one of those stories that would make a great lifetime or hallmark movie.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beckett learned at a young age that the women who take interest in his father are out for one thing, his money. When his father moves in his new fiancée and her daughter Greer, he decides he is going to keep a watchful eye on both of them because although they seem to be down to earth they are likely not.

Greer has watched her mom put her first all her life and she loves her for it, she knows Beckett is not thrilled to have her move to his home and now attend his prestigious school. He has made the fact known to her loud and clear. That being said, Greer keeps her head down and tries to stay under the radar at home and at school. It only works for so long though and the secret is out that she is living with him. That puts a target on Greer’s back though and when Beckett finds out he decides to protect her. Everything about Greer baffles Beckett, she is a ray of light to him but the rough exterior surrounding Beckett makes it difficult to put in words how he really feels. Will it be too late to fix his mistakes though when it comes to Greer?

I really enjoyed this one. Beckett is a jerk to Greer, no doubt about it but Greer just keeps on going. Greer is a wonderful character, she at first keeps quiet but not for long and their is a fire within her that calls Beckett to task. I would definitely read more by this author, very well done.

I love enemies to lovers romance books so much! So I really really enjoyed this read! Greer and her mom move into her moms fiancés house..with his son Beckett. The men come from money so when Beckett sees Greer and her mom barging into his life..He thinks it’s just for the money. He doesn’t like them and he doesn’t want to like them. Until he realizes Greer and her mom are the complete opposites of a gold digger. They don’t want handouts. They don’t want help. They’re independent. And greers mom loves his dad so so much. But Beckett and Greer are constantly bumping heads. Is it because they can’t stop their feelings towards one another? Does Beckett care for her more than he leads on? Read this to find out! You won’t be disappointed! Great characters, great plot and all around great book.

WHOOOOWHEEE That was one hell of a rollercoaster ride.
Enemies to lovers is one of my absolute favorite tropes but this book….. this was the best Enemies to Lovers I’ve read in a long time.
The author took me from highs to lows in seconds and the characters!!!
The emotional development of the characters is superbly written. The storyline with the little extra danger thrown into it was a perfect fit.
I also loved that the book didn’t immediately cut off after they got their HAE it went on and gave an extra little HEA.
Great read!! Highly recommended.

Greer wants her mom to be happy, so she transfers to the school and does everything she can to make sure her mom doesn’t know what she’s going through. Beckett Dawson, her new stepbrother has not made her new life easy. He is constantly putting her down or ignoring her at school. Instead of making Greer have a pleasant experience at Oak High, he does whatever he can to make her want to pack her bags and move out of her fancy house. Greer has a crush on Beckett, even with him treating her badly. She is beaten up at school and that changes things. Beckett begins to help Greer whenever he can. Can Greer survive her senior year and put this all behind her or will the drama of the elite be too much for her?
This was such a good read, I was addicted! I hope there will be a sequel of Greer and Beckett in college. This book is filled with friendship, drama, action, twists, and even love.
