ALY
It’s been twelve years since I’ve seen him, but loathing Emmett Hoult
still runs in my blood. Thanks to the hell he wreaked on my teenaged life, I’ve
avoided the prick like the plague. But desperate times call for desperate
measures, and after a fire destroys my apartment during the most important week
of my life, I’m suddenly as desperate as they come.
Hence the roommate situation.
It’s his summer home. His family said he wouldn’t be around. They said
I’d never run into him.
But oh, did I run into Emmett Hoult.
And in the worst way possible.
EMMETT
I didn’t expect to see her ever again, let alone the way I
did.
But now that she’s back in my life, I’m not screwing things
up. She still hates me – I know that – but it won’t stop me from chasing
the only two goals I’ve made for this summer:
Making things right.
And making her mine.
Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Flip! Seriously loved this book. Read it in one day because I couldn't put it down. It was funny, angsty, and hot AF!!!
"When the world looked at Emmett, they saw confident, devilish, sexy. I saw cocky, spoiled, arrogant. Your typical all-American jock."
Aly Stanton hasn't seen Emmett Hoult in twelve years, following an epic falling out between them in junior year, which changed the course of her life. Growing up, they were constantly thrown together because their families were close, but he made her life unbearably miserable. When her living circumstances force her to move into his empty house in the Hamptons, she does so, safe in the knowledge that he's away all summer.
"Aly was back in my life and I was already hooked on her again...since losing her the first time was hard enough, there was no way in hell I was letting it happen again."
Emmett Hoult has led a gilded life. Things have always come easily to him - women, money, success, adulation. When he meets a beautiful, incredibly sexy stranger in a club, one night, the chemistry between is scorching! However, when he realises that it's his childhood frenemy, he's determined not to let her disappear from his life again, even though her intentions are the complete opposite.
"Loving you is the oldest memory I have."
I adored this novel! I loved the way the story unfolded and we get clues here and there about the past history between Emmett and Aly. Told from dual POVs, we get their different perspectives on how things were and how they viewed one another. We see Aly's childhood misery and her pain, but we also see what a smart, successful, confident woman she has grown into. We see Emmett's fondness for Aly and how much he cherished their childhood connection - so different from Aly's perspective.
The sexual connection between them was tangible and so freakin' hot! Their flirty dialogue was amusing and so diiiirrrrty! LOL. I loved how their truths and secrets were gradually revealed and how they both had suffered in the past. Their connection was amazing and borne out of their childhood history, as well as their adult chemistry.
This was my first read by this author. She has a fabulous writing style full of great dialogue, deep and credible characters, and super sexy scenes that has me definitely coming back for more.
