My goal was clear—to achieve success in every aspect of my life. It seemed easy enough for a while…until I woke up with a stranger staring at me from my roommate’s bed.
Grey. The distraction I didn’t count on. The wrench that came crashing into my agenda. He’s one tall, lean, tattooed bad boy with the natural talent to annoy me. I was determined to ignore him, but there’s something about him that lures me in.
The more I fight it, the stronger it becomes—the need to be close to him.
But I’ve worked too hard to be where I am today, and I won’t let it all be ruined by a guy who is more trouble than not.
There’s just one problem. Grey has his dark eyes set on someone…
…and that someone is me.
Review:
This book was frustrating at times. It was sad at times. It was a lot. This book has a lot of emotion in it. Both Olivia and Grey have pasts they want to forget. Both are working through their lives in a non-healthy way: Olivia is a people pleaser who studies non stop, Grey is fighting underground and going through women at a good rate.
Olivia has me to the point of wanting to smack her and ask her what in the world is she thinking. She has dove into college with both feet first and has no clue to what she is doing. She has no guidance from home and she is following the crowd. She allows Grey to enter her life and ruin a lot. He makes her cry so much. I just felt horrible for her at most points when she was in his company.
Grey, I don't even know where to begin, he is very selfish. He wants Olivia but also wants to do what he wants when he wants. He has no disregard to anyone but himself. We haven't gotten his complete story yet but I hope we do in the next book. He tortures Olivia. He seems to be a loner.
Allison left me questioning a lot. Will they ever get along? Who is this girl that has been brought up and where is she? Where did Sam come from? Why doesn't Mason get along with Grey? Will Olivia grow a pair and finally be done with Grey? Will Grey take his medicine and allow people to help him? There is so much going on when this book ends.
