We’re spending the day at Whitman University
(Grades will be given in lieu
of stars for these titles)
Quinn Rowland is a man scorned. His tennis career is over (a
result of an injury), his girlfriend doesn’t think he’s good enough any more,
and his family situation has left him with a ton of self loathing. Down
on his luck and feeling sorry for himself, Quinn channels his anger at the
females of Whitman University
Emilie isn’t buying Quinn’s lines, but she’s also not
convinced that there isn’t more substance to Quinn than parties, booze, and
women. And when she pushes back, she might just manage to turn the game around
on him.
Is Emilie in over her head? Will she let Quinn take her
heart and end up broken like him? Will either of them get the careers
they want even when their fathers don’t support them? Or will Quinn succumb to
Sebastian’s blackmail? Can Emilie save Quinn from his downward spiral?
Emilie is a strong, level-headed female character. She has
guts and doesn't let a bunch of testosterone driven frat boys intimidate her.
For the most part she trusts her gut instincts, and yet at the same time
leads with her heart. She’s someone you’d want in your corner as a trusted
friend.
Quinn is more complex. He has a ton of issues, treats women
like dogs, and yet still manages to ooze sex appeal and be the guy you root for
to get his act together. And he needs a girl like Emilie to help him uncover if
there is a real prince beneath the prick.
There’s plenty of chemistry, and they have some cute banter.
“Following your moods is like watching a tennis match. Go away. Sleep with me. Go away. My head’s going to fall off.”
You'll definitely be left wondering 'will they or won’t
they,' but the ending is sweet and shows the growth of both characters. Told
via Emilie and Quinn’s alternating point of views, there’s the right amount of
drama and a slightly sweep you off your feet style HEA. This is book #1 of the Whitman
University
