This book is FIRE!I loved it and give it 5★★★★★scorching stars!!!!!This is a standalone and will have two companion novels to go along with it. One will be Clementine's brother Jax's book and then the other will be her first love Daren's book.I. Cannot. Wait. for those.This is Gavin and Clem's book.Clementine has been through hell in her life. She finds her high school boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend.  Feels betrayed by her brother, and can't stand her parents. Her mom is superficial and a nasty wicked witch who treats Clementine like she is trash. She is used to having walls up. She is tired of what people call love. When she was a freshman in college she was stalked by one of her professors and that kind of sealed the deal for her.She wasn't looking for him. She was just busy living her life. But that doesn't stop the way she feels when she finally sees him for who he is. Gavin. She first meets him when she is trying to write her second book, she is stuck and is trying to find ways to get out of the rut that she is in. He is an RA in freshman hall.  She blows him off there like she does everyone else that makes advances on her. She meets him again when she is on an errand for her roommates, again she doesn't really see him. She is not looking for anything from a guy. Then when her roommates throw her a party for her birthday. Gavin is there. He watches her all night, and she has too much to drink and she ends up saying things that she would never say sober. That starts off a friendship between these two and it grows from there.Gavin sees that Clem has up those walls and although he might not know why right away, he is the perfect guy for her because he never pushes her. He takes his time and when he sees he might have gone to far he backs off and lets her take the lead. This is something that she needs otherwise she would never fall for Gavin the way that she does. It hits her out of  nowhere. These two are ON FIRE!!! I have never been more turned on by reading about a kiss in my life! These two just had my breathing accelerated and body flushed! HOT! HOT! HOT!You honestly do not want to miss out on this book! Excerpt below on one of the scenes!!★★★Excerpt★★★The laundry room is dark when we walk in, so he flips on the lights. A row of washers and dryers line both sides of the small room. He opens up a washer and dumps in his basket of clothes.“Gavin, why are you washing clean laundry?” I can’t help the laugh that escapes.He drops in a few quarters and starts the machine before he turns to me, grinning.“I’m helping you get in the zone. Come here.” He wraps his hands around my waist, and I let out a surprised squeak when he lifts me up onto a washer. I can’t believe he just picked me up. Okay, that’s a stupid thought. He did carry me home two weeks ago.His grip is firm on either side of me as he ducks down to look into my eyes. Even though I lean back, I can feel his minty breath on my face.“Clementine, I want to warn you.” His voice is husky and deep. “I’m going to kiss you, and you’re going to like it. A lot. But I want to be clear that I’m not going to sleep with you, because I want you to respect me in the morning.” His mouth lifts up in a wry smile. “This is simply one friend helping out another. Okay?”Wait. Is he serious?He must sense my apprehension because he rubs his thumb softly across my cheek. “It’s just an exercise, to get you into your story. I promise.”I laugh, embarrassed, intrigued, and a whole lot turned on by the idea. He smiles again, but this time it’s different. His eyes darken as his hands glide over my hips. My breath catches in my chest.“Gavin, I don’t think—”He rests a finger over my lips.“I’m doing this in the name of academics. You need inspiration? You’re looking at it. Now shut up and let me kiss you.”Holy. S***.Pressing his hand on the small of my back, he pulls me to the edge of the washer and stands between my legs, my thighs now on either side of his hips. He runs his other hand behind the nape of my neck, and I think I’m having an out-of-body experience as his touch leaves a trail of flames in its wake. My mouth is dry, and all I hear is the sound of my heart hammering in my chest. But before I can over analyze it, he’s so close I can barely breathe.“By the way,” he whispers when we’re nose to nose, “you should remember that I’m already dating someone, so don’t get too attached.”And with the reminder that he has a fake girlfriend, he puts his lips on mine before I can tell him he’s insane.Gavin’s lips are soft, but firm, and my body reacts, my arms lifting automatically to wrap around his neck. My hands are instantly in his hair, and my mouth opens, gasping from having him up close and oh so personal. He uses the brief opening to swipe my lips softly with his tongue. As he presses in closer, I tighten my thighs on his hips.Gripping my hair with his hand, he tugs my head back and delves deeper, stroking my tongue with his. And dear sweet Jesus, Gavin can kiss. I’m all kinds of turned on, my body a pulse, a beacon of exploding light. We make out a few minutes, kissing, alternating between these sweet, heartbreakingly slow kisses and hard ones that make me feel like I can’t get close enough to him.I use this opportunity to run my hand along his chest, descending down his hard pecs and ridged abdomen. I knew he was built—I mean, I’ve seen plenty of his defined body when we work out—but touching him like this has me lightheaded.And this is not me, losing myself in the moment, but I can’t seem to stop myself. Hell, I don’t want to stop myself.The wash cycle stops, the machine stilling beneath me, and he pulls away, leaving me out of breath.Gavin looks into my eyes, and I try not to shy away, but when he kisses my forehead gently, I melt all over again.He clears his throat.“So now, because RAs don’t like to get caught making out with girls on their floor, I’m going back up to my room. You should come up when the laundry is done so it doesn’t look suspicious, and let’s see if you can’t get a little more done on your assignment.”With that, he steps back, and I’m under his microscope, his eyes passing over me again. He chuckles and leans into me and whispers, “By the way, you’re one hell of a kisser, Clementine.” Then he winks and walks out.Oh. My. God.This book is filled with a lot of these scenes that will have you going did i just read that? I think I might need to re read that scene again.  Because that was just damn.  I loved this book and it will sure be on my list to read again and again. These two are a powerhouse together and I loved them from the beginning.. <3
