This ARC was kindly provided by the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest reviewI have never read anything by this author, but now I'm a fan! Shredded was an entertaining, great read!Z is a talented, Olympic hopeful snowboarder. However, he couldn't care less.

He will do anything to escape the pain and guilt that seem ever present in his life. He uses women to temporarily get out of his own head and has never been told no. Until the cute new cafe girl throws coffee on him and tells him to get lost. Now he can't get her out of his head.Ophelia is a New Orleans beauty who is stuck in the cold and she is miserable. She is dealing with her own demons and baggage and the last thing she needs is to deal with a charming man whore with a death wish. However, through varied encounters Ophelia begins to see past the tough exterior to the thoughtful, vulnerable Z that no one else sees. He gets under her skin, and he soon becomes something she can't resist. It is a challenge loving someone who doesn't love their self and It may be more than Ophelia wants to risk.This is a great story of love, regret, and taking chances. All the characters are like able and entertaining. Z and Ophelia are both dealing with survivors guilt and have to learn how to move on, love, and be happy.I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series!
