My Favorite Mistake (My Favorite Mistake #1)
by
Chelsea M. Cameron (Goodreads Author)
Taylor Caldwell can't decide if she wants to kiss her new college roommate or punch him.
On the one hand, Hunter Zaccadelli is a handsome, blue-eyed bundle of charm. On the other, he's a tattooed, guitar-playing bundle of bad boy. Maybe that's why Taylor's afraid of falling in love with him, or anyone else. She doesn't want to get burned, and even though her other roommates...more

for my love of Hunter...10++++++ stars!!
When Hunter shows up at her doorstep, claiming he’s her new roommate, & to share one room with him since the other room was occupied with her two girl roommate, Taylor was not happy. They made a deal. Hate him, Love him, or have sex with him. Either of the three, which she needs to prove or do with him will make him leave.

I love Hunter Zaccadelli....it was great reading this chapter from his point of view. I always love reading the other POV to hear both sides of the story. I wish all books were written in Dual POV.

Why do I freaking love this book?
Its all because of Hunter Zaccadelli. Now I'm really in love at first read. (:
Where have you been all my life? You.Are.So.Hot.
Taylor Caldwell. What a lucky girl! Having a HOT roommate all by herself!
1 room. 2 beds. A female sleeping in the same room with a guy who always sleeps NAKED.
I shoved my face under the covers. I did not just see that. I peeked out again. Yup. Hunter Jr. was awake and standing at attention. Oh. My. God. I faced the wall, unable to look...more

I recently re-read this (well most of it) and have moved my rating down to a 1 star.
Taylor is one of the worst main characters I have ever read. She is selfish, immature, and annoying. This book has the same plot line as most new adult novels, but My Favorite Mistake didn't execute it as well as the others. Will not be finishing this series, and most likely will not be reading Chelsea's other series.

"The first day I met Hunter Zaccadelli, I punched him in the face."
"He showed up with a foot locker, a backpack and a guitar. It was so beyond cliché that I didn't say anything for the full three seconds it took for me to assess him. Dark hair buzzed so short, his head was almost shaved, piercing blue eyes, and at least a foot on my 5'0. And a cocky smile to top it all off. He might as well have had Trouble tattooed on his forehead. "

I have a new book boyfriend and his name is Hunter Zaccadelli. Holy swoony perfection, I’m totally cougar over him!
College student Taylor meets Hunter when he is allocated student housing with her and two of her girlfriends. Totally freaked out at the thought of sharing her room with a boy, Taylor immediately goes on the defensive. Hunter counters with some hilariously flirty banter and their relationship is established.

I could not wait to read this one! I am such a fan of Jamie McGuire's "Beautiful Disaster". So I knew this book would be right up my alley. I LOVE the tattooed bad boys!
I thought Hunter was adorable, but not really a bad boy. There is alot of mention of Hunter being with his fair share of girls, but never once did he hook up with any chicks ( not counting the heroine), or have any one night stands, or even run into allot of girls he may have slept with in the past.

Loved the book! A little slow at a point, but amazing and wonderful throughout!
Loved all the characters very much!
“Why can't he stay with me?” Renee whined.
“Because you'll rape him in his sleep,” I said.
“You can't rape the willing, Tay,” she said, winking.
“You're disgusting.”

My Review
This book was not what I expected. The premise of My Favorite Mistake promises a refreshing New Adult contemporary romance, a read that I found myself anticipating. Sadly, I couldn't even make myself finish reading the whole thing. There are a number of emotions associated with this read for me: anger, disappointment, but ultimately, exhaustion, just to name a few.
I got nothing out of reading this, and while I could very well rage about the poor characterization, lack of plot, and end...more

"Who's there?"

I'm completely and utterly in love with this book.
That kinda of love that consumes you. I was hooked since the first chapter to the last. Couldn't stop think about Taylor and Hunter when I was working (or tempting to work), making dinner, eating dinner. They were all I thought about.
Hunter is my newest book boyfriend. He's everything I ever dreamed about a guy: Gorgeous, caring, funny, knows how to cook, sings and plays guitar. summing it: sexy as hell! Wh...more

Wow, I just could not get into this book. I had so many ‘shaking my head’ moments, and if it were possible for my obsessive side to put a book down, this would have been a dnf for me within the first few chapters. As it was, I should have known after Hunter and Taylor’s first meeting that I wouldn’t enjoy it. But I kept trucking along. There were many reasons for my dislike. I try not to write ranty reviews, so I’ll try to sum it up quickly and write this just for my friends that know what I lik...more

Honestly, I'm disappointed by the reviews this book got. It had so much potential. I'm a super fast reader and can usually get through a book within a day. This one took 3, just because I kept getting so pissed off. I just wanted it to be over. I wanted to read to the end because I was hoping something would change. Nope.
I'm not going to go through what the book is about because a ton of other people here have said it.

"You love me?" he asks her.
"No," she responds
"You hate me?" he then asks.
"I likely do," would be me responding in her place.
Meh.
I mean, truthfully it was fun when it counted; otherwise, it was abit lot of nothing much. She's sensitive and damaged and has a history she's not dealing with as does the guy. Where she's prickly and tough girl, he's sad sad sad but putting on a front: an ass hole jerkface front that rightfully rubbed her the wrong way the first time they laid eyes on each other.

I can't take it anymore. This girl is too freaking childish, nasty, abusive, selfish, angry, violent, nosy, and a man hater too boot. Having a childhood trauma DOES NOT give you the right to hit people or to have violent temper tantrums. By that logic, we should all forgive Hitler because he was an abused child.

I'm going to start this review by giving a huge round of applause and great admiration to the playlist of this book, I added a bunch of songs to my 'Book Playlist' just from this story. God, every song mentioned in the story truly related to the story itself! From Coldplay to The Civil Wars to Taylor Swift (Yes, I'm deeply a huge fan of hers), every song suited the story of Hunter and Taylor. Some of them are pretty old stuff but my love for those songs resurfaces thanks to My Favorite Mistake....more

This book is an undecided hit or miss for me. I couldn't help but notice similarities to Beautiful Disaster, but in a totally not as good way though.
I liked the love, romance ect. But I couldn't help but feel as if it… I don't know… was kind of fake and forced. It felt as if the character's didn't fit the dialogue.

This book tells us the story of Hunter and Taylor a.k.a. Missy.
They are both broken, they both have secrets that don’t want to share and they both have parts of their lives that they will do anything to keep private.
So when they are forced to be roommates it’s not going to be easy to coexist, especially when Taylor doesn't trust guys and will do anything to put him away.
So they make a bet: If she can prove to him that either hate him or love him he will go away and leave their house.

Favourite Quote: “Everyone says they want to know you, but they don’t. They want to know the nice things, the pretty things. No one wants to know the ugly parts, the parts that keep you up at night. They say they’re okay with it, but then they drift away and you never see them again.”

Cute story about a girl named Taylor who's new roommate Hunter is everything that she has been looking for but didn't know she needed. Taylor went through such a dramatic experience when she was younger that she pushed all boys away and was given the nickname "Ice Queen" Once Hunter sets eyes on her, he knows that she is the one for him and he will patiently wait for her to make the decision that will affect their future.

What a wonderful read! This book kept me laughing throughout every page, seriously. The absolute hatred that Taylor feels for Hunter at the beginning was just hilarious. She tries everything she can to get him to move out and leave her alone but he won’t have any of it. He pushes her until they make a bet, she either has to prove that she loves him or hates him and then he will move out. However, it is harder than Taylor thought it would be.
