After getting his heartbroken, Cruise starts to play the field. He has developed quite a reputation. He meets Kendall at a party. She is new to school and he feels a spark right away. She does too. Neither want to admit it. Kendall’s mom has been married and divorced more than she can count. She’s not sure if she believes in love at all. Cruise thought he was in love once, but a cheating ex-girlfriend changed that. Kendall decides she wants to be a ‘player’ like Cruise. She just needs a little help, some training. Cruise is more than willing. They become friends, and Cruise gives Kendall some ‘lessons’. They start to fall for one another, but neither wants to admit it. Eventually, they both confess their feelings for each other.

Sounds great, right? I wanted to love this one, and there were a few things I did really like. I enjoyed Cruise most of the time. He and Kendall had some sweet moments, some funny moments, but I never truly connected with either character. Things got jumbled up at the end for me. There were a lot of loose ends, and unnecessary things in the story line. It wasn’t a bad book- I just found it lacking- something was missing for me. It was an okay read, just didn’t do it for me...
