Holy moley! This book was so fantastic! It's different from Rachel's other books - being that it is contemporary romance and not paranormal romance - but I knew she could do it. After all, she's amazing at creating romances that are electric and captivating. (Have you met my imaginary boyfriend, Kiran Kendrick? If not you need to check out Rachel Higginson's Reckless Magic, pronto.)Ellie Harris, a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. The books starts off right away with her discovery of her empty apartment; furniture gone, roommate disappeared, and an angry man yelling at her to give him the seven grand he says she owes him. But this man is not some old, mafioso, godfather-type man. He's a young, good-looking college student. He is Finely Hunter.He's nothing but trouble for Ellie. But determined to pay off the debt owed to him (though it isn't even her debt to pay), Ellie finds herself assisting him in his illegal online gambling site as she tries to figure out how to pay him the seven thousand dollars he says she owes him. But, of course, these two gorgeous people are attracted to one another. I mean, how could they not be? Working together for hours all alone in his apartment is just bound to culminate into something bigger than just work. Right? But don't get me wrong, they aren't just physically attracted to one another. Because how annoying is that when characters only like each other because of their beauty? Anyway, Ellie and Fin get to know each other better and then one day Ellie mentions how she doesn't like kissing and Fin takes it as a challenge to show her just how wrong she is about kissing.*Sighs*And he can be so considerate at times. Like Ellie eats Ramen Noodles for every meal because that's all she can afford and one day he leaves his apartment open to her while he's away at a track meet and the kitchen is packed with food just for her. Can anyone else say gentleman?Anyway, I LOVED this book!
