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 blueeyed bundle of charm. On the other, he's a tattooed, guitarplaying 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, so she needs him gone before it's too late.
Hunter himself has been burned before, but Taylor's refusal to let him get away with anything makes her irresistible. Determined not to be kicked out of her life without a fight, Hunter proposes a bet: if she can convince him she loves or hates him, he'll leave the apartment for good.
But when the man behind Taylor's fear of giving up her heart resurfaces, she has to decide: trust Hunter with her greatest secret, or do everything in her power to win that bet and drive him away forever.
'A wonderful, captivating and heartbreaking story that pulled me in from page one.' Jessica Sorensen, New York Times bestselling author
Taylor and Hunter are both trying to bury their pain, and these secrets they keep, are keeping them from fully enjoying the people around them. That is, until fate brings them together.
This is an enjoyable enemies to lovers NA romance. I really like Hunter. There was a lot more to him. I am going to be cliche, and say he is like an onion, he has many layers, and I love what Taylor found underneath. I also really liked the "family", who were there to support Taylor. Part of me felt like the "secrets" were not something that needed to be kept secret or would be deal breakers for relationships, but they were things that would definitely leave a person wounded and broken. There were a few parts of the book, which I thought could have been edited to be shorter, but overall, this book delivered what I look for in an NA romance. Likable MCs, who I cared about, chemistry between the MCs, and Hunter made me swoon.
