This book started with BANG! and I was instantly hooked.
Sunny had recently ended a relationship and was swearing off men, especially jocks. Max was also currently out of the dating games, as he was still smarting from his breakup from his deceptive girlfriend. In an effort to fend off his groupies, and rehab his image in his bid for the Heisman trophy, he proposed that he and Sunny embark on a fake relationship for PR purposes only.
Her mouth opened. "Fake fiancee? Falling in love? What is this...a Hallmark movie?"
"We could be the best damn Hallmark movie ever made, Sunny." My voice was dead serious.
By the way, I love Hallmark movies.
Well, it did not take long for those lines to blur. Max instantly felt something, a pull of sorts towards Sunny. He didn't know why, but there was a string drawing him to her. This books starts out as a typical NA romance, fun and cute, and then veers into the land of soapy drama. I was not put off by the OTT stuff, because I was really invested in Sunny and Max. I wanted them to discover WHY they had this pull, and I was rooting for them to wade through all the drama and get to the part where they realized they belonged together.
I believed the universe had pulled strings for us - but did he?
I will admit, that I bumped my rating by half a star, because of the ending. First impressions? Pfft! I am all about last impressions, and this one had a strong ending that left my heart soaring.
Overall: A fun read filled with laughs, sass, heart-eye inducing moments, swoon, and sizzle.
