Predictable and so many cliché moments but I did really like Travis

Abso-freakin-loutly love it! I never liked Jake from the beginning but Travis,total swoon. He gives good woo. The part where I laughed so hard at was the first tree house scene and the spider. Freaking loved it, and the whole kitchen fight totally loled. The fact that these people were around my age I connected with them. I felt was Kacey was going through. And Grandma Nadine. The whole way through I read it with Betty WHite's voice and character. Made me laugh even more.

This book made me smile, it made me laugh, and very often it made me backtrack and re-read something to make sure I got it right the first time!!
Even though it was far too short for my liking, I did really enjoy it!
I found Travis to be super sweet and sexy as hell .. and I'm seeing a pattern withing guys that are named Travis... *cough* [b:Beautiful Disaster|11505797|Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1)|Jamie McGuire|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1358259032s/11505797.jpg|16441531] *cough* hehe!!
Yeah, Jake was your typical playboy... but I still kinda liked him .. well .. in the 'best-friend' role way.
I absolutely adored Grandma Nadine though !!! What a woman, with her conniving and manipulative ways.. she was hilarious!! And that along with the 'playful' banter between the Titus Brothers and Kacey just made the whole thing that much more fun to read...
The only thing I think for me would've given it that extra edge for me would have been: more of the prologue throughout the book in the form of flashbacks from the different POVs of either boy or Kacey. I would've loved to have more detail on the pranks they pulled, however, the small tid-bits that [a:Rachel Van Dyken|4882127|Rachel Van Dyken|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1326688642p2/4882127.jpg] gave us were hilarious.

Thoroughly enjoyed it... the level of cheesiness is minuscule and almost non-existent (at least up to my standards... and I loathe 'cheese' in books... and in life ... I like to eat it though .. ANYWAYS... RANDOM)

Read it! Its short, its fun, its sweet. Its great !

Enemies to lovers story. Lots of drama and not as much of the hype nor I usually get on her books. It was okay but not spectacular.

"Because of you,Kase.Everything I do,everything I've done in my life,it's all because of you"

I don't like to read love triangles.so,why the hell did I read this? I haven't the slightest idea.

Meet Kasey


After losing her parents in a tragic accident,Kasie left the town,her best friend and the boy she thought she loved and started a new beginning

Enter Jake Titus


He propositions Kasey to be his girlfriend for a week
Kasey knows it's a bad idea,but when he brings his grandma's health into the equation,she can't refuse

But she wasn't expecting Travis "satan" Titus to be there


he has been making her life hell from the moment they met.what she wasn't expecting was her heart giving a giant thud and start running a mile a minute when he looked at her


I loved the chemistry between Kasey and Travis.and their bantering and Travis's reason for tormenting Kasey.
I hated Jake with a passion,so I really don't know if am going to read his book.
What I loved most about them was how they both talked through their issues,unlike some books.
This one was a four star read for me but the only reason this is getting five is grandma Nadine
God she was a laugh.if not for the main leads,you must read it for the grandma.hilarious

Oh!did I mention Travis has a ranch*sigh*

“If I scare it, it’s going to eat you, and I can’t have that on my conscience.” Kacey’s eyes widened again. “Oh gosh, it’s moving! It’s so gross! Can’t you just like, flex your butt or something?” “Why, yes.” Travis clenched his teeth. “Why don’t I just clench my butt muscles in hopes that it will shock the spider enough to crawl back into the hell hole it came out of.”

Could not stop laughing after I read this.
