I mean, really…
This book... Well, this book… I can't say that I really hated it, but I also know that I didn't love it either. So, that leaves me somewhere in the middle… I guess.
***MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD***
The main reason that this book infuriated me were the two main characters and their immature behavior. Particularly that of: Jack Carter.
What. A. Jackass.
Seriously.
See, in the beginning of the story, Jack is a the typical famous playboy athlete who sleeps with a different girl every night. Then, he meets sweet and refreshing Cassie, his game changer, who doesn't fall for his usual charm. So, he decides to chase her and get her to go out with him.
Eventually they fall in love and that's when the real turbulence of their relationship starts. Because both Jack and Cassie have trust issues. So, there's lots of miscommunication, jealousy and unnecessary drama that could have been easily avoided if they would have just communicated in the first place.
Then, Jack does the unthinkable. On a drunken celebration night, he cheats on Cassie with a baseball groupie who has set her eyes on Jack and who's made herself easily available.
To make matters worse, this girl ends up pregnant so Jack leaves Cassie in order to marry his drunken one night stand who's really only after his money and fame.
Cassie, on the other hand, is hurt by his actions. Of course. But does she make him grovel? Does she turn him down when he comes begging for forgiveness after he's seen the light and divorced Chrystle's skanky ass? NO! She takes him right back and ends up being the one comforting him.
Granted, Jack did say some sweet things in the end and he did promise to make it up to her for the rest of his life but still…
By the end of the story they do get their HEA (for now). And as for the rest of the series and the continuation of their, without a doubt, dramatic love life?
69%--The song "Here's a quarter, call someone who cares" by Travis Tritt is blaring in my head. Then I'd tell him to shove those quarters up his ass and play a different tune to someone else...

98%--Body Temp 98.6, closes the kindle, and thinks to herself...I loved it!
Cassie meet Jack, Jack meet Cassie...your Happy Ever After
My love/hate relationship to manwhores was taken to a whole new level. Cassie, I loved! Jack, I loved too but after what he did I can say I only like him a lot. Would love stories on side characters on Melissa(BF), Dean(Jack's brother)and Tyler & Amanda(former teammate and girlfriend to Tyler). It's got angst and of course a HEA.
"You're both so screwed up alone that together you're like the perfect mess."
"I'd finally met a girl who didn't try to impress me. She didn't care about what I did as an athlete; she cared about what I did as a person."
"Fifty cents a touch, right?"
“You owe me a lot of touches, Kitten.”
I loved this part of the story...so cute ♥
"I felt him inside me. I inhaled quickly, a pleasure-filled moan escaping my lips."
