This book is so good. Garret is one of the best men he makes Hannah feel safe and never forced her to do anything he also fell first. Hannah and garrets relationship is gold. There isn't to much sports stuff that's it's  just a sports book. The boys also have such a good friendship that's so supportive.

This is my first Elle Kennedy book and I really enjoyed reading it! There was drama, angst (but not too much angst) and the writing itself was pretty good. 

It's a pretty typical romance book. You have Hannah Wells, the smart, confident girl and you have Garrett Graham, the stereotypical jock that sleeps around and "all he cares about is the sport". They make a deal and end up falling for each other. 

There's fake dating (sorta), there's past trauma and character development, there's humor and more.

I totally see how you could read this as a standalone but I'm definitely going to read the rest of the series.
