About this ebook

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother.

And that his best friend has a crush on me.

And that I just moved in with them.

Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

I suppose it doesn’t matter. Fitzy has made it clear he’s not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I’m not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I’m not about to start. I’ve got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he’s missing?

He knows where to find me.

I was really on the fence of a two star or three star. The story was fine but could have been less thrown together? I've just read so many other romance, even hockey that just had a better executed story. I wanted to like the characters more but they just didn't hit for me. Some scenes were fun and I still finished the book but I don't see myself having a need to read it again or continue the series.

I started reading the book with a bit of bias because it started like every other romance book I know, but I couldn't stop reading. I loved how both Summer and Fitz were a great pair for each other, in the sense that they challenged each other and grew out of their comfort zone. I hate how Hunter got the bitter end of the stick and that they never really made up and I would've loved for them to be friends because he was a great gent. All in all the book was amazing, I would recommend!

Summer has wanted Colin AKA "Fitz" for more than a year now. When they see each other next, she is attending the same school, and even his roommate. If only he hadn't implied she was superficial. Fitz has tried everything to stay away from Summer. Each day brings another reason or event where he has to see her, talk to her, and get to know her. The more he does the more he wants. If he hadn't mad her mad somehow...... I feel like the characters getting together was inevitable. They have a lot in common, including the people they hang around with, family, etc. I think it was good for both of them to grow and find one another. I was thrilled to see some old favorites and fell in love with this new series in moments.
