3.5 to 4 Star reviewOk, this book was pretty good and I think I would have rated it higher but I couldn't get past the crazy hang-up Josh had with the whole not dating a friend's ex. It seems something happened during high school and that is why they made this silly pact but they never gave us enough detail as to what happened back then and why it was so bad. My other issue was with Carissa. She seems like a stong heroine, holding her own with her family decisions and then doing her flip. So it floored me around the 28% mark when Josh lays into her. He was downright mean and she just takes it and then brings him pizza and beer, unbelievable. And then to find out later in the story that he actually tried to set up a booty call with someone else just really made me very angry. She literally was throwing herself at him that night and he really was in his mind trying to do the right thing then but she just kept at him. Frustrating.Now after that point Josh does come across a little better and despite the fact that they were acting like a couple kids hiding a relationship from their parents, their relationship did take off. The chemistry of the couple was great. I did enjoy the little mystery of who was messing with Josh's business and why. As the book hit the 80% mark I really did not want to put it down as I wanted so badly to find out what was going to happen and would everything work out. The good part is we get the answers, we get the HEA but unfortunately it just ends. Although it was a happy note to end on it just seemed unfinished. Despite this I would have to say the book was overall enjoyable and I would recommend as it was a rather quick read and you can't beat the cover!!Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
