Resumen del Editor

Caleb: Nobody ever looks past the mask I wear. Not until I meet Jayden Harris, the adorably bossy scholarship student with a razor-sharp focus and an unbreakable determination to be the best of us all.

He says he doesn't have time for dating. He says I'm just a player. If I could prove to him that I'm worth falling in love with, he might change his mind. But asking him to be my fake boyfriend for a massive family gathering probably wasn't my greatest idea.

We're a lost cause, but I just can't let him go.

Jayden: It was just a one-time thing. And then a two-time thing. And a three-time thing. Before I know it, I'm in his fancy car, heading to the Wine Country for an extended weekend. My mission? Be the loving boyfriend you bring home to meet the parents.

I'm risking my scholarship and my future at the elite Highgate Academy for a charming stranger in need of a boyfriend. Why? I wish I could tell you. But there's more to him than I imagined.

I'm doing my best to convince everyone that we're a couple. But maybe I'd be wise to remind myself that we are not.

Contains mature themes.

This was okay....

I think sometimes how a couple meet in a romance novel can make or break a novel. The way Caleb and Jayden met was unbelievable...there was no build up; stolen glances here or there between the two. I don't really understand what set Jayden apart from the other partygoers that made Caleb have to make a B-line towards him....their whole interaction felt too forced; Caleb sees Jayden, gets him alone then they are having sex with barely a few words between them. To me the sex was just... meh...the kind you take and leave and never look back. I never truly felt the connection between Caleb and Jayden. Caleb's wealthy family (outside his father) didn't feel believable to me either...maybe in a utopian world yes....Caleb's father - the classist curmudgeon - felt like the real deal. I finished this title because I felt compelled to...but at least Jon Waters had a pleasant voice. My only issue with him is that there was no voice distinction between Caleb and Jayden so I kept getting mixed up with whose POV it was in the chapter. This was the first book in the series so I felt it had the duty to introduce other characters at the school or in the frat in such a way it makes you think, "I can't wait to see what Hayden Hall has in store for him..." But no really stood out or appeared interesting enough so I won't feel bad for not checking out the other books in this series.

3 starz - I won't listen again

very Mid

I really couldn't put together how the characters actually look, the descriptions were lacking.

audio was good, but the author should have added indication which chapter was which character as their thoughts seemed too similar to tell which one was talking. I will try the second one to see of it was changed

loved it

it was such a great story. So cute and I love low angst stories, which this definitely was but then again this author is good about keeping his stories focused on the plot instead of all the angst Good narrator definitely will tecommy

Horrible

The narration for this book is simply awful. The story is kinda blah as well. Don’t waste a credit
