Review: Too many mind games for my taste

This novella was a quick but annoying read. The story revolves around Travis Morgan and Alicia Davis, two old college rivals that meet up again in the future when Travis is in desperate need of transportation to Boston.The dialogue was pretty good; fast, quick quips and good-natured teasing, but to be honest, the plot kind of dragged a little bit.Alicia mistakenly thinks that Travis sabotaged her back in college and is now paying him back in kind. The entire thing feels so childish and completely unromantic, if you ask me.(MILD SPOILER ALERT) If someone leaves you naked in a hotel room, having taken all your clothes and causing you to miss the flight she'd promised to get you on, yeah, I'd be pissed and certainly not up for another go round with that chick.  (END SPOILER)All the back and forth mind games got a little bit old, at least for me, who is someone who abhors games when it comes to the dating scene. The sex was steamy, but again, I couldn't really get past the mind games to really see what they found remotely sexy about each other.If you want a quick read and enjoy people playing tricks on other people while trying to imply they actually want a relationship together, then go for it. Not terrible, but not my kind of romantic story.
