Wren & Easton
I've seen people say this is their favorite book in the series so far and I can see why. Easton and Wren have crazy, sexual tension from their hate banter, and I'm all about it.
“I’m her dirty little secret, the one she loves to hate.”
Wren is your hardworking girl who takes no handouts. She's fiercely independent and responsible for her age. Easton is the playboy, football star who came from money. In the first two books they fight often and you gather that they hate each other. The hate has carried over into their own book where they finally just bang it out. Their characters were written so well with all the push and pull, quick witted quips, and unspoken chemistry that I couldn't be anything but invested.
"Princess, I don't have the energy tonight for charm. And if I did, I wouldn't use it on you because I don't think you're capable of being charmed."
Both of their characters have an exponential amount of growth when they push each other out of their comfort zones. Their sexual chemistry is also off the charts. It's beautiful watching them meet in the middle, where they can both be who they truly are and not who everyone thinks they are.
"Don't waste all your chances for happiness trying to give everyone else theirs."
TROPES:
- Secret Relationship

MY FAVORITE COUPLE OMG. Wren and Easton just did it for me, the banter the spice the build over time and the rollercoaster of emotions. I am utterly obsessed with this book and this is why Maggie is my favorite author ever.

Steamy and angst filled, Easton and Wren’s story brings all the snarkiness and banter I was hoping for but with some seriously sweet moments along the way. Their book begins with Easton hiding away from a party that’s supposed to be celebrating his football team’s season in Wren’s bedroom while she’s at work. She returns and finds him there and is not at all happy about it. They’re definitely not friends, but at the same time there’s something more there. One thing leads to another, and they finally give in to each other, but theirs isn’t an easy love affair. A lot happens with these two, but will they be able get over their “hateship,” or will all the obstacles they’re facing be too much?
These two haven’t gotten along since the start of the series, but I love how they finally come together and find that maybe they were wrong about each other. They press each other’s buttons every chance they get, and it’s almost as though they can’t help but to try to get under one another’s skin. It’s like they’ve just been fighting this tense chemistry and seeing how their relationship pans out is so satisfying.
Easton is sneaky swoony. Like after reading the previous books I figured there had to be more to him than meets the eye, but I was not prepared for how good he was here. It turns out he’s not exactly what he led us to believe. He may have been excessively “friendly” with the female student population before Wren, but after initially getting with her? Totally changed. It’s like she gave him a reason to be a better man.
And Wren? She’s feisty and strong, albeit rather stubborn, and she’s not even about to deal with Easton’s antics. I think his character needed someone as strong as Wren to finally make him realize that he’s more than what he comes from and what everyone expects him to be. Their chemistry is off-the-charts good, and I couldn’t get enough of them.
If you love enemies-to-lovers/college-sports romances, then you’re going to want to read Easton and Wren’s story. The spice and Easton’s charm are on point, and the drama will keep you up late reading.

You guys this book was so good. It was a combination of some delicious spice and a playboy athlete who was brought to his knees by a woman. Boy does he looks good on his knees.
At first I was not convinced that I was going to like Easton with the ways he was involved in the others relationships, but I was immediately won over by that man. Easton is swoony, dreamy, cocky, but a sweetheart at his core. I SWOONED hard for that man.
Wren is independent, fierce, and selfless. She puts everyone's needs before her own. Watching Easton take care of her when she needed it melted my entire heart.
Easton and Wren together are just insanely hot. Their chemistry is unmatched, and they push each other. The spice is all smutty goodness. Easton has the dirtiest f*ck1ng mouth.
The ending was perfection for them.
