Overall, the book is a 3/5 for me. Although sexy and light hearted at times, the underlying themes of family heart ache in this book was something really great to see in a romance book - especially the impact it had on the narrative. Like every Abbi Glines first book in a series, it leaves you hanging and definitely wanting more of the story, but unfortunately I feel that my time about caring about Blaire and Rush has finished nicely. 
 I really enjoyed the introduction of Blaire's back story, I felt that is was not forced upon us and fits in quite well. The overall plot in this book was quite decent considering many people would just pass this off as a cheesy romance novel, but this had depth with a family heart ache and plot twist. Although at first I thought the plot twist was no that big of a deal, the following chapters after finding out what actually happened really helped to reinforce the pain felt by those affected. The best part about this was that I was hooked and kept coming back for more after putting it down. 
 The sex in this and the dialogue feels extremely forced and awkward. Although these books are light and fun, I constantly feel grossed out when 'hot irresistible' guys in books speak like this before/during/after sex. This story reminds me a lot of fifty shades of grey, with the experienced guy overpowering the naive, young, virgin. Just creeps me out a little. 
 Let's talk about our two main characters, Blaire and Rush. I felt that Blaire was a pretty realistic character, although her appearance and constant talk of how gorgeous she was bothered me just because it felt forced ALL THE TIME. I mean she walked into a job after just hours of looking for a job just because of how she looks. I felt her heartbreak throughout the story when she was talking about her family, and I felt in the end she made the right decision although it broke my heart. Rush was extremely irritated me in the first ten chapters and I feel like that is the point of his character so I that came through quite well. He played the trope of the bad boy with a sad back story well, although he didn't really have the sad back story, it was more him hiding something about his sister, so it was kind of confusing. He was unrealistic in the sense that he had had so many women and prided himself on it and then just all of a sudden falls for this one gorgeous girl. I don't know, it's nice in fiction but also cringey. 
 The writing style was easy to read and made for a quick read. I just hate the use of the word pussy, aha. 
 Overall, I enjoyed this book and I recommend to those who love romance novels with a decent plot twist. If I get around to it, I will start the second book, but for the time being I am satisfied with ending I got.
