This is a fun and sexy romance full of college angst - from the party girl Ella to the perfect hockey player Ben. Ella has a history and is still dealing from the issues surrounding her friend's suicide, while Ben is hiding issues in his past. Despite believing they hate each other, because of mutual friends, they keep getting thrown together. Slowly they start to build a friendship/relationship that is full of fire and ice. I particularly enjoyed the complexity of the characters and the way the author tackled some tough subjects.

Fans of the genre will love this book. While it is part of a series, it is a stand alone novel. While I've read many of the author's books, this is the first one I've read in this series and I had not trouble jumping into the middle of it.

If you're a contemporary romance fan, add this one to your TBR list - you'll be glad you did. Just be aware that this is a very sexy story with some very explicit scenes that are not for younger readers.
