The author writes well and the book flowed and was easy to read. I think my main problem was that I just didn't buy what was happening. First off, the romance just felt like it happened to fast - and definitely too soon after all the other events for it to be real. Second, I felt as though Lucus' dramatic kind of just thrown in at the end to add drama and to show that he also had issues but was healed because of the relationship - just like Jacqueline's issues were fixed because of their relationship. Third, I found the characters to be pretty two dimensional and we were often told how they were rather than being shown. Fourth, the side characters were completely flat to me and were often stereotypes used to get the plot moving along. Fifth, I believe Jacqueline's refusal to report Buck the first time, but I cannot believe the reaction of Erin's sorority sisters - I was in a sorority, that is now how everyone in the Greek system thinks, I found this little drama particularly irritating. Sixth, the college experience was unbelievable - no professor I know would ever accept missing a midterm because of a breakup to be acceptable. In most places, an undergraduate missing that many classes would be an automatic failure. There were more flaws, but I realize that I am now on a rant and need to stop. 
 Looking at what I just wrote, I guess I had a lot more issues than I thought I did. The reason I gave the book 3 stars is because it was a fun, easy read but for me it just didn't live up to its reputation.
