29 April 2014: $1.99 on Kindle - One of the first NA I read. And it worked. Really, really well. Even with the 'heroine rescued from rape' trope at the beginning. 
 Review: 
 This probably comes in closer to 4.25 stars for me. It's really, really, really great. I enjoyed it a lot. 
 Jacqueline is just a typical girl. Dumped by her boyfriend (since high school) just two weeks ago, we find her at a frat party. As she's leaving, she's sexually assaulted by someone she knew. Suddenly she's saved by a guy that comes out of nowhere... 
 After Lucas drives Jacqueline home, she starts noticing him everywhere; in her econ class, at the local Starbucks just for starting. When her friend, Erin, comes up with OBBP (Operation Bad Boy Phase) for Jacqueline to get over her ex, Lucas seems like the perfect one to go for. Tattoos on his arms, a pierced lip, black hair, and a strong body...but as she gets to know him she finds there's so much more. 
 I'm finding this review incredibly hard to write. I said it early on, but I want to reiterate it because I know this is a trigger for a lot of people - Jacqueline is nearly raped in the first chapter of this book. I didn't think this was a good start, because there are so many authors that use this situation and then treat it like it was nothing worth worrying about. I worried that this was going to be another instance of that. And I was wrong. Tammara Webber handled this subject beautifully. Wonderfully, with thought, care, and sensitivity. And truth. It was a really great part of the story; dealing with the aftermath, and the growth, and the learning from a (near)-rape. 
 This was a great book for me to start my new-adult adventure in. It felt like college age kids, acting like college age kids. They did things I did in college, they thought like a lot of people I knew then, and the struggles they had learning some pretty hard lessons were incredibly realistic to me. 
 Additionally, there was a fabulous romance between Lucas and Jacqueline. It built slowly and, again, realistically. I understood why each liked the other, understood why they wanted to be together, spend time with each other. I especially loved how supportive Lucas was of Jacqueline. In every aspect. 
 I can't think of one thing I didn't like about this book. It was great, and I'm glad Aly pushed me to reading this one right now. ;)
