*** warning: review contains spoilers ***I've been on a new adult glut lately, so when I saw this, it seemed like it would be right up my alley.  I took a chance even though there were no reviews, but I figured if I hated it, I could always just return the book and at least I could let other people know what I thought about it.So, the verdict?  So so.  There's nothing really WRONG with it, but I just didn't really like it.  Let me list what problems I had with it and you can determine if these are deal breakers for you.1.  The H is a man whore.  Which doesn't bother me.  I mean, I likedBeautiful Disasterand Travis was the king of them all.  But my hard and fast rule is that once the h and H get together, there's no more sleeping around for the H.  Well, in this particular book, the H and h knew each other from vacationing together as kids each summer - she was the H's first kiss and first love and he never really got over her.  When he sees her again, it's clear the two of them still have a lot of feelings between them.  But even though they're not TOGETHER together, they spend massive quantities of time with each other and he's super protective over her and doesn't like it when she goes out with other guys, he still sleeps around.  In fact, he kind of flaunts it in front of her at the frat parties they attend and by repeatedly telling her he's not a relationship kind of guy.  So I don't know if you could call this cheating if they're not technically a couple.  But I didn't like it as he would kiss her and undress her and cuddle with her in bed and then go and bang a skank.  Blech.2.  h is weak sauce.  h suffers through some trauma with her last boyfriend when he abruptly became violent and abusive.  After an incident where he beat her and raped her, she escaped home and transferred colleges to get away from him.  She ends up reuniting with H at University of Arizona, where she opted to go because her cousin Tommy, H's bff, is there.  She loves H, but she also keeps saying she's not ready for a relationship.  She goes back and forth on him, and even though I do not approve of his man whoring, I felt bad for him because though she genuinely cares for him, she keeps leading him on.  Her wishy washy attitude was annoying as crap.  If she trusted him as much as she claimed, she should've just told him what happened with her prior boyfriend and let him make up his mind; at least it would explain her attitude.3.  the two of them had the hardest freakin' time telling each other how they felt.  Really, considering they keep saying how they're such good friends and how they spend nights together (just cuddling) and got possessive and jealous with each other - all the misunderstandings make me want to tear my hair out.  They were both wishy washy about their feelings - neither had the cajones to just tell the other what they were feeling.  Instead, they just kept quiet and burned with jealousy and possessiveness whenever the other hooked up with someone else.  I just wanted to smack them on the head.  Repeatedly.So, I can't say I really liked or connected with the characters which makes it hard to root for them to find their HEA.  On the bright side, the writing is fine.  There were a few typos, but they didn't really bother me.  The dialogue was fine - it flowed and wasn't stilted or unrealistic.  And there IS a HEA, which is the number one rule of romance.  This is just my opinion though, I didn't like a h who wasn't able to make up her mind and articulate what she wanted and I didn't like an H who still slept around despite knowing he was in love with her.  I know he said he got his heart broken by his H.S girlfriend who cheated on him, but when he keeps acknowledging to himself that h is different, I don't know why he didn't just throw it down and let her know in the beginning instead of sleeping around pretending to be indifferent to her.  Anyway, you may have a different experience than mine, but to me, this book was just meh.
