Crosby Rhodes is considered a god when it comes to Western Wildcats football.
And who knows, he might just be one. There’s certainly no shortage of girls on campus who agree with the sentiment. They swoon over his pretty face, dark messy hair, and hard body honed from years of lifting and two-a-day practices. That alone makes him catnip for the female species.
Add a lip ring and surly disposition to the package and you can understand what all the fuss is about.
Would I be included in that majority?
Hell, no.
As far as I’m concerned, Crosby can eat shit and die. The guy is a major jerk. Not to mention, a pain in my assets. And that’s putting it nicely. For reasons I’ve never understood, he goes out of his way to humiliate and hurt me. His barbed comments are always a direct hit before exploding on impact.
I’d love to know what I did to elicit such hatred but that would involve conversing with him and I refuse to do that. There’s only one more semester before graduation. Surely, we can get through the next six months without coming to blows.
That’s the hope, anyway.
Which is exactly why I’m thrown off guard when my nemesis pulls me aside and suggests a truce. Do I necessarily trust him after everything he’s put me through?
Nope. For the time being, I’ll agree so there can once again be peace in the kingdom all the while keeping him at a firm distance. Except that turns out to be impossible. Everywhere I go, there he is. It’s like I can’t get away from him. More shocking than that, he’s actually being nice.
If stomping out the underlying attraction that constantly flared to life between us was difficult before, it’s all but impossible now. But that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I’ve been burned by one athlete, I’ll be damned if I allow it to happen again.

MY REVIEW
Crosby has had it out for Brooke for a long time now. She doesn't like him at all either, considering the way he has always treated her, and that he was one of the pack of people who didn't bother to tell her that her ex, Crosby's friend, had been cheating on her throughout their entire relationship. All Brooke cares about now though, is getting through college, avoiding her ex, and forging a relationship with her online friend. So why does Crosby keep showing up and annoying her, treating her like he always has - with disdain and contempt? And how is it that she can't help but be drawn to him, especially when he starts showing her a completely different side of himself?
When Brooke finds out the real reason behind Crosby's horrible treatment, will it bring a new facet to their relationship? Can they keep it a secret from her ex, or will it all implode in horrific ways?
Brooke is amazing, the kind of heroine I love most - smart, strong, and sweet, standing up to those who treated her badly. I felt so badly for her for the way her douchey ex treated her, the way her mother treated her, and especially the way Crosby treated her. I wanted to shake Crosby for his behavior, and the reason for it. But I kinda understood, and Brooke forgave him, so I guess he gets a pass. I really liked them as a couple, though, and their story - it's got heart, steamy chemistry, and one very likable heroine. Not much more you could ask for in a good romance.
