Publisher's summary

A sexy stand-alone novel from New York Times and international best-selling author Elle Kennedy.

Everyone says I’m a bad girl. They’re only partly right - I don’t let fear rule me, and I certainly don’t care what people think. But I draw the line at sleeping with the enemy. As the daughter of Briar’s head hockey coach, I’d be vilified if I hooked up with a player from a rival team.

And that’s who Jake Connelly is. Harvard’s star forward is arrogant, annoying, and too attractive for his own good. But fate is cruel - I require his help to secure a much-coveted internship, and the sexy jerk isn’t making it easy for me.

I need Connelly to be my fake boyfriend.

For every fake date…he wants a real one.

Which means this bad girl is in big trouble. Nothing good can come from sneaking around with Jake Connelly. My father would kill me, my friends will revolt, and my post-college career is on the line. But while it’s getting harder and harder to resist Jake’s oozing sex appeal and cocky grin, I refuse to fall for him.

That’s the one risk I’m not willing to take.

OMG, THIS BOOK IS A RIOT

I loved this book. I laughed my arse off. my coworkers thought I was nuts. I wasn't a huge fan of the female narrator. I like her, I just don't think she was a great choice for a college student. her voice is too mature sounding. She's great with characters who are older than this. The story is great, the chemistry is great, obviously the ending is unrealistic, but expected. This writer is a trip. I'm going right now to use a credit and buy another one of her books. Highly recommend and I'm exceedingly picky and rarely like funny books like this. I'm more of a dark romance person (i.e. Pepper Winters type of books).

Storylines

such a fun storyline. I love Brenna and her sassy attitude! I love how she doesn't just fall into bed with him and fights her feelings most of thr time.

Dang, I loved this book

This is definitely my favorite Briar U book and tied with The Goal for fave overall in this world. I loved Jake. I mean really truly loved him. Brenna was so snarky and bold and everything I love in a heroine. Their chemistry was amazing, and I genuinely adored the whole story. It’s also been awesome hearing Teddy narrate so many of these books, and I thought Virginia Rose did an absolutely stellar job as Brenna!

Good

I read this book and loved it SO much, I wanted to listen to it as well. It was my first audiobook. Overall I enjoyed it, however the two voices of brenna and Jake sounded much older than 21/22 years old, so I do wish that was different. But overall good job!

Cute story!

This is an adorable story. I don’t know why someone said it ended on a cliffhanger… that was an “and more good things are coming”.

As always sweet story and cute characters. I’m glad she writes enough in there that you know why they like each other.
