About the Book
When I catch my girl with my hockey teammate and best friend—scratch that, ex-best friend—I’m done playing nice.
Declan betrayed me. But I have the perfect way to get even: his sister.
Juliette is sweet, bookish, gorgeous… and completely off-limits.
Fake dating her should be easy. A little wining and dining, a little harmless flirting, and I’ll get revenge on the guy who wrecked my life.
But Juliette throws me completely off my game.
Beneath her button-up shirts and wide eyes is the sexiest and most fascinating woman I’ve ever met. All good-girl by day, lacy underwear by night.
She sees right through my bad attitude… and somehow likes me anyway.
Suddenly the one thing worse than losing my best friend, would be losing her.
I’m desperate for revenge. But hurting Juliette? That’s a penalty I just can’t take…
My Review
I really enjoyed this spicy romance. It was easy to get into and it flowed so well. It makes it easy to keep reading when you have that combination. At first, I didn’t like Aaron. He felt really cocky, and the fact that he was so easily willing to use an innocent person to get his revenge on his former best friend didn’t sit super well with me. BUTTTTTT… how things ended is up is what I enjoyed.
I live for great banter, and the banter between Juliette and Aaron is fantastic. It took a bit to build up, but the chemistry eventually got there. When it started out, it wasn’t instant, which I really appreciate. I also really love when we get a dual POV and one of them is from the guy’s perspective. I know how girls think, so it’s easy for me to read from their perspective and get it. I’ve never been inside a guy’s mind, and while this isn’t only a fictional character, I really love getting into the MMC’s mind, even if at first he was a little bit of a red flag.
I can’t wait for the next book in this series! I really hope it’s either Declan or Storm. Storm I found to be so cute, so I’d really love for him to find someone!!!
