"The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate percentage of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance between her and the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend America, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand. Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs—and wants—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the charming college co-ed. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his charms, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’ apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match."
This is one of those books that you get drawn in by the book description and then the book just kind of takes over. I never knew anything about Jamie McGuire until I happened to catch a "100 most romantic books" list and this book was listed at number 2. I'm a sucker for lovey dovey books so I had to give it a try. This book is pretty short and I read it in 2 days. LOVED IT!
After I read this book so quickly and liked her style of writing I had to check out what else she had and hello she also has a trilogy. I love trilogies! I am currently finishing up the first book called Providence and I'm addicted. LOVE IT too! I seriously don't understand why it doesn't have more recognition (this was the first time I've ever heard of it or the author) because the book is great. This trilogy kind of has a scifi ish vibe (meaning not all the characters are human).
"In the old world shadows of Providence, Rhode Island, Nina Grey finds herself the center of a war between Hell and Earth. Struggling with her father’s recent death, Nina meets Jared Ryel by chance…or so she believes. Although his stunning good looks and mysterious talents are a welcome distraction, it soon becomes clear that Jared knows more about Nina than even her friends at Brown University. When questions outnumber answers, Jared risks everything to keep the woman he was born to save—by sharing the secret he was sworn to protect. When her father’s former associates begin following her in the dark, Nina learns that her father is not the man she thought he was, but a thief who stole from demons. Searching for the truth behind her father’s death, Nina stumbles upon something she never expected—something Hell wants—and only she holds the key."
