I especially adored the realisation of the seahorse. Luna is mute, so seeing Trent try to pull any sort of reaction out of her was heartwarming and breaking at the same time.

Turns out, he was strict with food, but loving with everything else. He was just as much a player as Dean, but he was now a single parent. I liked that we got to see some interactions and the love between Luna and Trent, as I was curious to see how he’d be as a parent considering what id seen of him so far in DEFY, VICIOUS and RUCKUS. “My father asked me about Rexroth, my mom asked me about my father, and no one asked me about me. What chemistry could there possibly there? Well, turns out a lot.

Trent is older and with his daughter clinging to his leg, grilling burgers, and in a completely different time in his life. Trent first sees Edie at a barbecue for Knight’s birthday at Dean’s house, and Edie is young and angsty looking beside her dad. Their chemistry is quite confusing as you can feel the undercurrent between them, but you don’t know why.

Although it’s legal because Edie is eighteen, it’s like she isn’t a teenager, and Trent is a grown arse man. There’s our first clue to why there will be so much drama in SCANDALOUS, it’s so very very forbidden between them because of their ages. Edie is eighteen, a surfer, and under her dads thumb. Trent is thirty three, father to four year old Luna, and stupidly rich and single. A lullaby on a thoroughly scratched record that keeps hiccuping again and again on the line that you hate. Oh how dumb I was! So much drama and angst makes their story. I definitely got emotional when Luna and Trent spoke in his office together, but beyond that, during BK I didn’t see them a lot. Now I have to be honest with you, they were the parents of the ASH lot that I noticed the least. Trent Rexroth and Edie Van Der Zee are characters we first meet in BROKEN KNIGHT as Luna Rexroth’s parents. Making it so far into this series in such a short amount of time has really been fun, and especially during this lockdown that we’re currently in, it’s been so nice to be completely lose myself in another world, another set of lives.
