Summary
She’s the virginal cheerleader, and he’s the tortured bad boy. Their worlds are different, but college life at Dickson University brings them together in a passionate, angsty, fiery collision.
Finn Hayes is what girls my age would call “stupid hot.” He’s handsome, has brown eyes that remind me of warm chocolate chip cookies, and a tall, muscular build that makes marble sculptures jealous.
Green flag, right?
Wrong.
He’s also broody, closed off, and so complex that it feels like I need a decoder to crack him.
He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met and fights like he came out of the womb swinging, taking down both my ex-boyfriend and an ex-UFC fighter with ease.
But the underground society at our college known as Double C has nothing on him in the secrets department, and it’s that mysterious edge that keeps me coming back for more.
This is more than the story of how Finn and I fell in love.
This is proof that love has a learning curve. Sometimes you succeed, and sometimes…it destroys you.

Review
I’m a huge Max Monroe fan so reading a book where they combine characters from the Billionaire bad boy kids and the Winslow siblings was a dream, but this book was a lot and while l enjoyed most of it, some parts were just not it.
Finn and Scottie are your typical college freshmen for the most part. Finn has some huge family secrets and Scottie has a vile high school ex who just won’t quit. The highlight of the story was all the characters new and old; I enjoyed reading about all of them again.
What let it down for me was the plot. Finn and Scottie fell in love with each other too fast. One moment it was all about lust and the next boom, they were in love, it felt forced. The Finn dicked about with Scottie’s feelings way too much and Scottie pretty much forgave him every time, like no, that’s not ok. The family drama and stuff were good I did like that part.
Then we move to the ending of the story, finally, Scottie and Finn are in a good place and then a tragic accident which results in life-changing injuries for Scottie is just randomly thrown into the mix. Yeah, I was done after that, I didn’t see the point of this happening to characters that had already suffered so much and it kind of ruined the whole book for me.
I’ll read the next book because it’s about a character that I’m excited about.
My Rating: 3/5 🌟🌟🌟
