4.5 Stars!!

I really enjoyed this book! Quinn is living her life the way she has always wanted. Doing what she wants when she wants and having a no strings attached relationship with her friend Tyler. Tyler is everything she has always looked for in a man. He's hot, has tattoos, and gives off that bad boy vibe that Quinn loves. Tyler is the bartender at the club Strikers that Quinn goes to with her close friends which is convenient for Quinn because she sees nothing wrong with a little hook up in the halls with Tyler. In fact, that is the highlight of Quinn's nights! Quinn finds herself always gravitating to Tyler and always waiting for the time to meet up with him at their spot. Little does Quinn know that things are about to change... and in walks Reed Porter.


When Reed first approaches Quinn at the bar, Quinn doesn't give him a chance. From the beginning, she is anything but nice to him. One look at him and Quinn sees nothing but a preppy blue eyed boy. Reed is the total opposite of what Quinn looks for when it comes to men. He's clean cut, blond hair, blue eyed pretty boy. After their first short conversation, Quinn leaves the bar thinking that's the last time she will be seeing Reed. Little does she know, that's far from the truth.


The next day Quinn finds herself once again face to face with Reed Porter. She can't believe her luck of running into the boring guy from the club. Come to find out he works with her brother and is now his new roommate. Quinn and Reed's relationship picks up right where they left off from the night before. Nothing but bickering back and forth, and that is one thing I love about them! I love the back and forth that they do through the book. Quinn is feisty and Reed gives right back. The two together are too much. Quinn is always so cold to him, but Reed doesn't back down.

Quinn continues her relationship with Tyler but also finds Preppy Porter constantly in her head.....


"But damn Preppy Porter wouldn't get out of my mind. He was a baseball cap forward kind of guy. I went for the baseball cap backwards kinds of guys."


To try to get Reed off her mind, Quinn and her friends, Veronica and Avery, go out to Strikers for some drinks. Once Quinn gets to Strikers she spots Tyler right away. After some dancing she meets him at their usual spot behind the black curtain. Once she gets there she sees Tyler and they hook up. Once she is back with her friends she's having a drink and Reed comes over to talk. Quinn right away gives him the cold shoulder with a snappy attitude as always and Reed has had enough.....


" Quinn, what exactly is your problem with me?" I rolled my eyes as I shifted in my seat. I had about a million problems with the guy. He was preppy. He was pretty. He had no visible tattoos. He was blonde. He was sweet. He wore polo shirts and khaki pants. He was obnoxious. He wasn't my type. He was everything I didn't want in a man. But for some reason, fate kept throwing him in my path. And for some reason I couldn't get his stupid face out of my head. But I couldn't say any of that, but my filter was missing. "I just want to stop thinking about you and your stupid blue eyes,"I blurted.



Once Reed knows he is on her mind he does everything he can to get her to take a chance on him. He starts popping up everywhere she is and does not take no for an answer. Finally Quinn gives in and agrees to their first date!! So the night of the date Quinn gets a text from Reed....



"What's your address?

Why don't you ask my brother?

Should I ask him if i can borrow a condom, too?

That's disgusting.

Why do you make everything so difficult?"



Love the banter! Love the constant back and forth! But, don't get me wrong. There are some parts that I just loved......



"I get why you're scared. But I'm not that guy. I'm not the guy who cheated on you. I'm not the guy who drove drunk. I'm Reed Porter. I'm a genuinely nice guy who sees a woman who is hurting but who wants to be healed. And I want to be the one who mends what the others broke."



I just love him!! He is so much more than what Quinn first see's in him. He is everything that she needed but never thought she wanted. One thing I really loved about Quinn was no matter who she met she constantly came up with nick names for everyone....


Preppy Porter, Dorky Dark Hair, McSlut, Remarkable Romantic Reed, Repulsive Reed, Talented Tyler, Half-Naked Giant Tits, Twatwaffle Tyler, Jokester Joey, Jerkoff Joey, Perplexed Porter...



There are so many more!! Totally made me crack up. Now don't get me wrong, there were some parts that I wanted to slap Quinn and yell at her!!

There's so much to Quinn and Reeds relationship that goes beyond what I have given you. So I would totally recommend this book to someone who loves a good story with some laughter and a hot "good guy" for once! I defiantly like the good guys just as much as the bad ones!
