Rating: 3 out of 5

I always, always, enjoy reading Alyssa Rose Ivy's books. And I really liked The Hazards of Skinny Dipping, so I was looking forward to reading this one. I did enjoy it, but I think a few minor changes would have made it a bit stronger.What didn't work for me: I didn't dislike Mallory, but I didn't love her either. I felt like her reasons for denying her feelings for Colt were kind of lame. I would have liked to have seen less of an issue about him being a school year younger and more focus on the fact that Colt was her ex's brother. I think more drama could have been created around that.What did work for me: Despite my irritation with Mallory, I did love Colton. Like, hard core love. He was such a dreamy guy. Seriously...he's the kind of guy that does anything to make you smile. He was the absolute sweetest. And I loved the fact that he didn't give up on her, even when she tried hard to push him away.Again, I've seen several good reviews for this one, and I did enjoy it. I will say that I felt this book flowed a bit more fluidly than the first book in this series. I have to point out that this one brought a bit more steam too. I also enjoyed seeing Reed and Juliet again. There will be another book for this series and I'll definitely be reading it. I've grown somewhat attached to this series. It's fun, easy to read and brings back memories of my college days.Quote:~"Before you even ask, no we are not going in separately. Refraining from broadcasting that I'm dating my dream girl is different from feeling like I'm sneaking around.""Dream girl? I'm your dream girl?"He got that goofy grin again.
