Inevitable is a new adult romance starting off when Cassandra finds her boyfriend cheating on her and she decides to move into her grandparents old house which is pretty secluded with only the estate next door which has been empty for a while and had just been sold.
In walks Logan an absolutely gorgeous man that Cassandra is instantly attracted to. The problem is he is a player, sleeps with loads of women and even though Cassandra is attracted to him she doesn’t want to be just another notch on his bed post.
This book is fantastic, I am really liking the current new adult romances available at the moment and this kept be hooked. I loved the will they won’t they plot and loved how Cassandra and Oliver hit it off straight away and that she loved spending time with him.
Cassandra was a strong woman even with the hurt she had suffered, she was not going to allow that happen again.
As the story continues I got to learn more about Logan and the reason why he acts how he does and I could understand him more.
The ending of the book was left at a place that makes me NEED to read the second book as soon as it comes out. It was a “OMG don’t end it here!” moment.
Brilliant book, fantastically written and I can’t wait to read book 2 and other books written by the author.

[Cocktails and Books]

Cassandra Clarke, freshly graduated from college with her teaching degree, has still not gotten over the hurt and humiliation she suffered at the hands of her cheating boyfriend a year prior. She's practically sworn off men and tends to shy away from them, that is until her new neighbor moves in. From that point on, sparks fly between Logan and Cassie. She fights him at every turn, destined to not be a notch in his bedpost. But his four year old son ends up bringing them together and a friendship forms. The only problem is whether Cassie and Logan can get passed their old relationship wounds to build a solid relationship with each other.

This is another book where I'm on the fence. There were times where I liked both Logan and Cassie, then there were the other times where I wanted to ring both of their necks. We all have experiences that form our opinion of certain things in the future. For Logan and Cassie, they both had big relationship hang ups. But my issue with them was the fact that they painted every person of the opposite sex the same as the person who hurt them. With Cassie, she barely gives Logan the time of day because he's this playboy she despises. Logan figures Cassie's going to run off and abandon him just like his ex, so he's insistant he's only going to sleep with her one time and then they can move on. It was aggravating.

But a little ray of sunshine, in the form of four year old Oliver who helped bridge the gap between Cassie and Logan. Through Oliver, they were able to develop a friendship that meant everything to both of them. Of course, no story can be complete without the arch-enemy of one (or both) of the characters coming along to rain on their parade. In this case, it's Logan's ex (although Cassie's does his best to get in her head) that does the damage. Unfortunately, she comes in at the very end of the book, which results in some emotional devastation that leads us to a cliffhanger ending.

I will say, I'm intrigue enough by the events at the end of the book to want to read book 2. Frankly, I need to know what Logan's going to do to prove to Cassie what he said is true. Fingers crossed, I won't have to wait for long.
