Publisher's summary

The bet was simple. You draw a name from the hat. That's the girl you have to seduce. The girl you have to make fall head over heels in love with you. It wasn't hard for him to do, in fact, it was something he did all the time. He was known for breaking hearts. Sex was just that, sex. And it didn't take him very long to get a woman on her back.

And then he drew her name: Jules Peterson. His former best friend, first kiss, and first love. She shattered his heart into a million pieces three years ago. She left him right when he needed her most. She had entered his life once again, at almost the perfect time. She was a transfer, fresh meat, and she had just put a target on her back. It was his turn to make her pay and break her heart.

Holding onto that hate, that anger, that f--king heartbreak - it does something to you. It breaks you, and it broke and tainted him, just like he would do to Jules. She used to be his everything, but now she was nothing but a bet.

The magical twosome, I would be talking about the authors.

Everyone involved with this series did a great job. I listened to the complete series and turned around and listened again. Thanks to everyone for the audiobooks.

Good Book

I enjoyed this book. The subject matter may not be good for all, but the story flowed well and I loved the narration. Teddy Hamilton is one of my favorites. I was new to Ava Lucas as a narrator, but she did a great job.,

Great!

Excellent narrators. Story has plenty of tension as well as “the steam”. I was entirely involved throughout.

So good!

Really enjoyed this for all the drama and character reconnect. At first I thought Remy's reason for targeting Jules juvenile (I still think that), but it makes sense with his character and the rest is good. ❤ Big brother Sebastian is the best!
Trigger warning for forced sexual assault (not rape), attempted rape and reliving the trauma.

Good start to this series

Nice second chance story. I can never find anything wrong with Teddy Hamilton's narration, I usually love Ava Lucas but her male voice was a rough one in this book literally. If you enjoy college romance you should enjoy this one, comes with some real issues dealing with date rape so it could have some triggers for some people.

This one had all the emotions.

Remmy and Jules have a long history, and a big falling out. In his quest to make her life miserable when she shows back up in his life, Remmy puts himself in a bad position.

I have to say, for a big part of the book Remmy was not in my good graces, I was not sure what the heck he was up to. Luckily he did get his head out of his a$$ long enough to grow up a bit. It was almost too late.

There are a lot of emotions in this book, and there are scenes and themes of sexual assault. It's not for everyone. It was a good read. The narration was excellent.

Perfect

This was right on point of the expectations for a bully romance. Ups and downs with all the feels in between.

Love the Story of Remi and Jules!

I was a little put off by the story in the beginning bc of Chapter 4. I honestly don’t think I could continue having feelings for someone after that happened even if I had feelings for the person prior to it. It’s still assault. But I pushed on. And I ended up loving their love story.
