Lydia y Tom tuvieron una aventura corta hace uno casi un año la cual no terminó bien, él fue grosero.

Ambos trabajan en una aseguradora como ajustadores, ella es muy buena es su trabajo y él solo le hace porque es lo que sus padres esperan, pero quiere ser director de cine.
Once meses después de su fin de semana juntos se vuelven a ver, resulta que ahora trabajan en la misma aseguradora, pero él finge que no la conoce porque no hace la cosa de las relaciones y sentimientos.

La empresa tiene un reality que se graba cada año, entonces Lydia se inscribió y tendrá que pasar por un a serie de pruebas para ser seleccionada, quien gane recibirá un premio de $100,000. Obviamente él también se inscribe para poder dejar su trabajo y ella para arreglar la casa que le dejó su abuela.

El reality consiste en que son llevados con los ojos vendados a un lugar desierto y los participantes tienen que llegar cierto lugar, deben evitar ser atrapados por lo cazadores y tienen 5 días para llegar.


Los dos han tenido vidas difíciles, ella con unos padres alcohólicos y negligentes, él con padres que la apariencia lo es todo y la felicidad no existe en su vocabulario.

La razón de mi calificación es que como lector sabía porque Tom actuaba de esa manera, pero Lydia no y dejo que la tratara mal repetidamente.



Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Lydia signs up for a survivialist reality show but finds that her partner is her one night stand Tom. She has lots of unresolved feelings for him....

Love the banter! It's snappy, fun and sassy. The chemistry between the characters is terrific. The hate-love relationship is done beautifully. A fun read.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

This was not enjoyable at all. I hated the characters and the plot was just so....ugh. It had too many sub plots that I know came together at the end, but it just made they whole reading process unenjoyable.

This was an okay read, not one that I wanted to give up reading but not one that I overly enjoyed.

I thought for a long time that Tom was not going to be the hero. He was like an anti-hero. He was entitled and waspish and ungentlemanly and I hated him. I hated him for so long for the way that he kept talking to and treating Lydia, that when he started trying to be a hero, I didn't want to know.

The banter wasn't as snappy as I usually enjoy and the spice (considering it has chillies on the front cover) wasn't that spicy. It felt flat somehow. Maybe because I didn't like Tom. I don't know.

The plot was a great idea, and I liked the little subplots that the journey took the couple on.

I also couldn't understand some of the choices like, the whole build up of Lydia's name and then I don't remember Tom finding out about it? It felt like it was building to this huge moment where she would tell him because she finally trusted him and it was this huge sign that she.loved him. But it just died and went away? Unless I missed it.

The romance went from hatred to love a bit too instantly, the progression feeling like juddering stops up the hill instead of a smooth climb.

Yeah. It was an okay read. I think the idea of the plot was the best part.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC, the premises look really promising. See you soon with the full review!

Very creative and full of fun banter. I liked this story and thought the writing was entertaining. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
