Ellie has had a crappy go of it since following her boyfriend to college. First, he cheated on her so they broke up. Then her roommate ditches her while behind on her rent and after selling her furniture without her knowledge. Next thing she knows a p'od hot guy is standing in her apartment demanding the $7,000 she owes him. What?! Come to find out Ellie's roommate stole her identity and lost seven grand illegally gambling online. An online gambling site run by Fin (p'od hot guy).Fin doesn't believe Ellie's story so he gives her 4 weeks to come up with the money and he lets her work off the debt two nights a week helping him run background checks on potential players. I don't understand why Ellie went along with this when she could have easily gone to the police. The police would have arrested Fin. Boom no more debt. But she didn't want her parents or brothers to find out she was duped. Plus Ellie and Fin would have never gotten to know each other and fall in love if she did what any normal person would have done.This book has all of the must have elements of an NA book:* H is a manwhore jerk who is really a sweetheart underneath all of that machismo. check.* h is a nave virgin with an attitude. check.* Snarky best friend. check.* Completely ridiculous situation that forces the H/h to spend time together. check.* H changes his ways the second he looks upon the h. check.* The h resists his charms throughout the book. check.But this book was still a good read. I think I'd also enjoy reading about Ellie's brothers.
