An epic Frenemies to lovers romance.
Luke Caldwell has three abhorrent qualities to him:
Luke Caldwell has three abhorrent qualities to him:
1) He’s a pig-headed jock.
2) He’s a grade A asshole with the biggest, overbearing ego.
3) He’s a manwhore.
These three qualities alone should’ve had me running for the hills. I tried to steer clear of him, I really did, but it was an impossible feat. Luke Caldwell was nothing if not persistent and the way he bulldozed through my life, not taking no for an answer is proof of it.
I tried to stay away from him.
I wanted to hate him. But I couldn’t.
Luke was nothing like the idiot jock I pegged him out to be. He became a friend, a confidant, and after one unforgettable night, he became so much more.
Whatever this is between us, it’s impossible to ignore. I just hope when all is said and done, I won’t be burned by the college bad boy.

Four Stars
Natalia is a girl who wants to study and go to school. She doesn’t have time for anything else.
Luke is a playboy quarterback who uses women as stress relief and never goes back for seconds. His goal is the NFL, and he doesn’t have a plan B. He is cocky, arrogant, and says whatever crude comment is on his mind.
Overtime, these two develop feelings for each other, but they try to hold off on acting on the attraction.
The first portion of the book is written from Natalia’s POV, but you can tell when Luke’s feelings begin to change.
We don’t get Luke’s POV until a crucial point of the book. I feel that waiting for his POV made the scene more emotional and drew out the suspense.
Natalia’s character was too trustworthy at some points. She is used to getting walked over by her family and really wants to see the best in everyone.
Luke is used to people only wanting him for his fame and not for who he really is deep inside. His walls are built high. He doesn’t realize football isn’t his only love until it is too late.
I really loved this story, but I couldn’t get over one scene. That is something I don’t think I could get past if I was in Natalia’s situation especially since was done with the intention to hurt her. If I did, it would take a long time. I understand the reasoning behind Luke thinking he had to do something drastic, but it doesn’t excuse his behavior.
