"Being know as the crazy girl who talks to cats is not how I want to start my new life."After being raised by her grandmother and going to a strict religious school, Paige is looking forward to going to college and becoming the person she wants to be ... not what others think she should be. She's an average girl. She's innocent, but not entirely naive. (No one who watches True Blood can be clueless about sex.) But, she's been programmed to think sex is dirty. She's pretty high-strung and tense. She desperately needs to loosen up. On her first day in town she meets two hot, but very different men. One while she was talking to her cat and the other when she walks into her dorm to find him having sex with her roommate. Both are interested, but which one will win her heart?"Spencer's kiss was molten fire and fury. When our lips met, I became his. He possessed me. There is no other way to describe it."I'll be honest, I never really bought into the love triangle in this book. I thought it was obvious who Paige would ultimately wind up with. She and Spencer had a ton of chemistry. I never felt the chemistry between her and Andrew, outside of their initial meeting. He didn't seem invested in their relationship, in my opinion. I know there were school rules to keep them apart, but I just wasn't buying it. However, despite their ridiculously awkward first meeting (thankfully I made it through college without that particular experience!), I always felt like there was something more there with Spencer.I found the characters in this book to be very interesting. While I don't feel like I truly connected with any of them at the level I sometimes do with some books, I liked them. I was interested in their story. I wanted to know if Andrew was as good a guy as he came off initially. I wanted to know if there was more to Spencer than met the eye. I wanted to know how Paige would grow and find herself while at school. I really wanted to know Katy's story.All in all, I found this to be a quick read with likable characters. The story was realistic. This was a sweet and sexy, angst-free book about a girl's journey to find herself and just live life on her own terms. I enjoyed the writing and the direction the storyline went. I just wish there had been more. I wouldn't call the end a cliffhanger, necessarily, but I would like more. If this is, in fact, a series, I would be interested in reading the next book.***I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. ***
