Date: 01 6, 2014
Emily has been best friends with Dylan since they were kids. He secretly pines for her, while she is head over heels for his older brother Zach. Now in college, Dylan swears to cut Emily out of his life to get over her. And when his brother asks for a favor, Dylan is more determined than ever to get over his crush. Especially when that favor is holding a ring that Zach plans on using to propose to Emily. When Emily calls needing help with something, Dylan can't say no, and in the process, Emily finds the ring. Mistaking that Dylan is going to propose to someone, Emily can't help but feel jealous. Convinced that he is making a mistake, she sets out to prove that his girlfriend is not the one. She enlists her friends to help seduce him, but when all of them strike out, she takes matters into her own hands. Before she has a chance to ask him about the ring though, things between them heat up and their relationship is changed forever.So, I liked Emily and Dylan, but their back and forth drama was drawn out for so long it was painful. I would have thought they would have been more mature about the whole thing. I just couldn't figure out why she was even with Zach to begin with. Something that is needed with great love triangles is an understanding of the appeal of both guys. Not just that she was physically dating Zach while emotionally dating Dylan. The fact that she was with Zach for so long was unbelievable. There wasn't anything to like about Zach. The only character traits you get to see are that he is selfish, arrogant, and wants to keep Emily only to boost his ego. Dylan was just so sweet that I don't know how she didn't jump him a LOT sooner. That was one hot little wrestling match for the sheets!The story is told from multiple POVs, including Emily, Dylan, Zach, and her friends. I did have trouble with the way the story was written. The perspective changed so many times, sometimes within the same chapter, that is was hard to remember who I was reading. And her friends POVs were all over the place and just unnecessary. Could have been told from Dylan's POV or from Emily's while she observed.I just wish the ending could have tied up some of the loose ends from the story, but maybe they were left for a possible sequel or series of books about the other characters. Overall a cute, sweet, tad bit overdramatic love story that was a quick and enjoyable read despite the flaws.*I received a copy of this ebook from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*
