Book Description:
He’s not the guy you date.
He’s the one night stand.

You’d think the man who sends hot looks my way, who called me succulent, would want to strip me to my skin and spread me out on his bed like every other woman in Chicago.

Except he passed on my offer….
Just like I once did on his.
He’s wary, like I am.
He’s broken, like I am.
And everyone knows two broken parts can’t ever make a whole.
So I try to distract myself. I’m back to dating.

Tahoe and I are strictly friends. He doesn’t think my new beau is good enough, but to him, no man is good enough for me. Especially Tahoe himself.

But the more time Tahoe and I spend around each other, the more confused I feel.
I'm trying to open myself to love.
But I'm quickly realizing that the only man I want is stubborn, cocky, unattainable playboy Tahoe Roth.

The one your mother warned you about.
The one my body craves.
The only one who will surely break my heart.

Part of the Book that Caught My Attention: Both
View on the Cover: The man on the cover is gorgeous with beautiful blue eyes. He must have a secret story behind those troublemaker eyes. He looks like a heart breaker.
View on Title: Sounds a little naughty. Why is this man a ladies man?

Pros:
  • This is actually part of a series, but it is actually a stand alone and sort of a companion book to the others. It's really nice because if you accidentally read it none of the plot is spoiled from the previous ones. I got this as my free romance read of the month book.
  • I really enjoyed the character development. The reader learns more about Gina and Tahoe's characters as the plot unfolds. It helps make the characters' actions more understandable. They are truly relatable.
  • I love how Tahoe Roth is seen as a playboy. He gets all the ladies all at once. From the beginning, it looks more like the women are a band-aid toward something that he is trying to hide.
  • This book really shows the importance of true beauty through Gina's character. She works at a makeup but she has makeup caked on her face even when she sleeps because she can't accept her own beauty.
  • The ending does not disappoint. I was not sure if it'll end the way I want or was hoping for.
Cons:
  • The part that bothered me the most was Gina's indecisiveness. There were parts where I would get excited when Gina was about to make a move toward something, but then cower.
  • This led to some "hype" and then disappointment. It was a constant roller coaster and I was glad when it finally smoothed out.
