It's been a few days since I finished this book and I'm still not sure what I want to say about it in this review. I liked the story and I loved the characters. Bella is the student manager of the Harkness hockey team. She's very comfortable in her own skin and very confident about sex. Rafe, one of the other students in her dorm just got dumped and she takes him to her room to help him get over his ex, only she doesn't realize he's a virgin. After a very hot night together, she's able to walk away from their casual hookup, while Rafe is still processing their casual hookup. 
 Fate has a different plan for these two, and when Bella runs into a bit of trouble at the football fraternity, she finds that it's Rafe and his friendship that she needs the most. I loved the relationship between Rafe and Bella. Even though it was hard for her to accept his friendship after what happened between them, it was his strength that gets her through the rough time. I loved watching their relationship grow in this story. 
 I thought the depiction of college life was very true to real life in The Shameless Hour and I appreciated seeing the good and the bad of it all. The theme regarding slut-shaming worked well in the story. I loved the scenes with Bella and the hockey team as they try to help her as well. This story has some really nice things to say about the strong friendships that can be made in those college years. 
 I did think the book ended a bit abruptly for me and the tensions from the incident at the frat house sputtered at the end. But the writing is very good and kept me turning the pages. I really like this author and hope to get to more of her titles on my TBR shelf soon. 
 So 4 solid stars for The Shameless Hour. If you haven't read this author, you should definitely give her a read.
