Two secrets. One bet. Who will break first?
Taylor Caldwell can't decide if she wants to kiss her new college roommate or punch him.
On the one hand, Hunter Zaccadelli is a handsome, blue-eyed bundle of charm. On the other, he's a tattooed, guitar-playing bundle of bad boy. Maybe that's why Taylor's afraid of falling in love with him, or anyone else. She doesn't want to get burned, and even though her other roommates adore him, she wants him gone before it's too late.
Hunter himself has been been burned before, but the fact that Taylor calls him out on his crap and has the sexiest laugh ever make him decide maybe love isn't a lost cause. They make a bet: if she can convince him she truly loves or hates him, he'll leave the apartment--and leave her alone. The problem is, the more time they spend together, the less she hates him, and the more she moves toward love.
But when the man who holds the key to Taylor's fear of giving up her heart resurfaces and threatens to wreck everything, she has to decide: trust Hunter with her greatest secret, or do everything in her power to win that bet and drive him away forever.

My Thoughts...
OMG! This book was so damn good!
This has become one of my favourite books of the year and is definitely in my all time top 10 favourite books of all-time.
And the main reason for that I can narrow down to two words: Hunter Zaccadelli, easily one of my all-time favourite male characters, now if only he wasn't a fictional character.
I've never really been a fan of contemporary romance books, but the synopsis sounded good so I thought why not, I did not expect to be blown away by the brilliance of this novel and the incredible writing.
I was captivated from the very first page, when Taylor opens the front door and finds Hunter waiting on the other side and after some remarks he makes, he gets punched for it, and so begins one of the funniest and romantic books that I've read in a long while.
The chemistry between these two is explosive, you can tell how much Hunter grows to care for Taylor from the sexual innuendos and how much he torments her, it's like going back to kindergarten when you have that boy who is a bully and calls you names but secretly he really likes you.
But they both hide secrets which have affected the people that they are today, both sad, and especially in Hunter's case tragic.
The humour in this is so good, many a times I'd be laughing out loud at something in the book and I'd receive quite a few funny looks, especially the library scene and the emails between Hunter and Taylor.
I've never loved a bad boy more, or wanted some up close and personal time of my own, the song he writes for Taylor is so sweet and he cooks, is in fact a great cook and will make whatever Taylor wants, and there is a definite heart of gold under the tattooed facade.
I just wish that there will be a sequel, or this book from Hunter's pov, o.k just really anything that involves Hunter, I'm totally besotted.
I can't put into words how much I adore this book, a great big thanks to the author Chelsea for writing this piece of brilliance, I strongly recommend that you all check this out, you won't be sorry!
I give this a huge 5/5.
