I tried so hard to get her out of my system. I slept with girls that looked nothing like her, but yet when I was mid-fuck my thoughts drifted to her. I felt like such a dick for thinking of her while fucking someone else. That’s why I gave up all hope on getting her out of my system.

Review to come....

HEA Yes
Cheating/OW/OM No cheating. While no detailed scenes with OW the hero does mention that he slept with other women after he meets the heroine trying to get her out of his system. When it didn't work he stopped. The heroine at this stage is fighting her interests in the hero and refused his advances.
Any push/pull Yes. Mostly the heroine pushing the hero away
Any couple separation Yes. For one month near the end of the book. It only takes a chapter or so to resolve so I didn't feel like that long
Heat Level: Medium
Angst Level: Medium

Great read

Extremely decent book. Had lots of drama, though conversations and declarations of love. I truly wasn't sure how this book would end, But I ended up liking it much more than I anticipated.

Ewww.. I think I will create another shelf ‘cause this might be the 3rd book tonight I say it’s (anti) romance. With a quote like the one bellow I wonder where the love for heroine is.
Maybe it’s the thought during sex with other women that counts, I guess. He was thinking about her after all. 🤮🤮🤮

Loved It

This was a really great read. Ashley and Taylor were a very cute couple to read about. The story, the characters, and the dialogue were very entertaining. I hope to restore by this author and hope that Nancy and Thomas get a book.

Ashley has her life in front of her with finishing College and ready to move back home and spend her life with her boyfriend. But when she plans a surprise visit, what she finds is the surprise is in her. Plans change and she stays in Florida, she has a wonderful job and her best friend Nancy. Then one night and a new bar she meets Taylor. Taylor isn't looking for anything more then hookup, but when he sees a gorgeous Ashley his world is rocked off it's axle. Can two completely different people be what each one has been looking for. Will their pass keep them apart or will they find a way to make them stronger. I really enjoyed this story.

The writing just felt really - immature. The characters also have no depth at least in my opinion. And I hate books where the heroine says she knows the male manwhore is bad for her but he's just so hot I can't resist - ugh what are you 15? Ok - what about when he's maybe not so hot in twenty years - wtf I am supposed to think - you two are still together - doubt it. I also loved how he thought of her when he was fucking around - why do authors write this kind of shit? Its not romantic - its insulting to both women - if she's hot enough to screw at least give her your undivided attention !

Good story

I really liked this story the heroines behavior was a bit juvenile and that was frustrating but overall a good story

Easy read

It may have taken her awhile to realize that not all men are cheaters and cannot be trusted, but luckily for her he was persistent. Great characters.
