The PremiseTiani goes to a club with her friend, meets Reign, super-hot alpha who’s broken up with his girlfriend of seven years for cheating on him.  You’d think Tia and Reign are going to hook up at first, but you’d be wrong. She hooks him up with another chick. She does it so well he hires her to keep doing it, all in an attempt to get his ex jealous.  What she didn’t figure on is falling in love with him - once you’re his wingman, can you be his girlfriend?The GoodIt’s a different concept for me - I despise cheating, but there is a very clear line for me and strangely enough, this didn’t cross it.  Tia’s content to be his friend and that helps me understand the relationship.  Their chemistry is goofy, crude and juvenile but it works for them.  If you’ve read Ms. Jewel’s previous Sinners MC books, you’ll definitely enjoy the appearance of several familiar characters.The Not So GoodI would have preferred to see more from Reign’s POV because quite frankly I spent alot of time just thinking he’s an a-hole.  The funny thing is that there's a bit of Reign's background that's told right at the very end that could have made a big difference in my opinion of him, but it came out as an afterthought instead of incorporated in the beginning to really build some sympathy for him.Also, while I appreciated the story being told, I didn’t like Tia or Reign all that much. I thought she was an idiot (though a self-aware one) and he’s a wishy-washy hero.  I was disappointed that she settled for being second best.The Bottom LineFlawed but interesting, I didn’t quite like the MCs but I did think the story itself was entertaining.
