No už viac klišéovité to asi nemohlo byť.

1. Nerdy hlavná hrdinka so skoro žiadnymi skúsenosťami, ktorá sa zmení zo škaredého kačiatka na labuť.
2. Agresívny hlavný hrdina s temnou minulosťou, ktorý ešte nikdy nebol vo vzťahu a ženy sa na neho doslova hádžu, aby ich pretiahol.
3. Vyššie zmieneného hrdinu už ale nebaví rola chodiaceho vibrátora.
4. Vyššie zmienená hrdinka ho očarí svojím prízvukom a svojim šarmom sivej myšky.
5. Problémy všade samé problémy.
6. Dráma, dráma, dráma. Skoro ako v mexickej telenovele.
7. Keď nie sú problémy ani dráma, tak je sex. Veľa sexu. 24/7. (Ako sú schopní stáť na nohách? A kedy chodia do školy? :O )
8. Sladký happyend, z ktorého trpnú zuby.

Prečo tie 4 hviezdičky? Lebo mám rada drámu a čítalo sa to rýchlo a bolo to jednoducho dobré. Guilty pleasure, čo narobím.

Es un libro cliché con chica buena y nerd y chico malo y popular.

Es el primer libro que leo de la autora y en general está bien, sirve para pasar el rato, tiene unos buenos capítulos, pero como que le pone demasiada crema a sus tacos, osea se enrolla en distintas sitiaciones que alargan innecesariamente la historia.

Es un pelín tóxica la relación de los protagonistas, y es por la forma en la que interactuan, él es demasiado posesivo y ella cuando está con el se vuelve sumisa, y cuándo no lo hace él se lo pide. Se me hace muy poco probable situaciones así en la Universidad, o al menos espero que no sea algo común y que se normalice.

Se muestran varios personajes, pero tampoco es que resalten demasiado por que cuando inician la relación todo es sobre ellos y su relación, sobre todo teniendo sexo y los amigos pasan a un último plano.

It's a sweet story, and it captivated me enough to read it in a couple of evenings, but some scenes/moments were too stereotyped or too farfetched and I did not connect with the MC. I hesitate to read next one, which is the male POV.

Overall, I really enjoyed this sweet college sports romance. I’ve got a soft spot for smart, geeky heroines, and British transplant Molly Shakespeare fits the mold perfectly. Romeo Prince is an alpha male/player wrapped in an NFL-bound star quarterback package. Romeo and Shakespeare. Get it? The two are adorable together, and their attraction is magnetic. Although Romeo frequently comes across as too needy and whiney, the characters are likable, and the story tugs at your heartstrings. I really enjoyed Molly and Rome’s friends. In particular, Texas gal Cass is a hoot! If you like your villains catty and truly evil (albeit rather unrealistic in their soap opera portrayal), and your romances with a fair amount of angst, this book should be right up your alley.

The sexual content is significantly steamier than your standard New Adult novel, so heed the 18 and older reader warning.

Las personas que no han leído Romeo y Julieta difícilmente son capaces de entender las historias de amor trágicas... Romeo Prince y Molly Julieta Shakespeare son un pareja de amantes trágicos... En serio lee la historia y dices por Dios que triste tú vida, pero aún así siguen adelante... Sí te centras en los clichés no podrías entender porque se aman pero si ves más allá lo puedes entender las personas son más que el pasado o las elecciones que hacemos y eso nos demuestran estos personajes... Hubo momentos en los que solte una que otra lágrima...

I don’t know why I even tried. I knew I was not going to like it.

I absolutely loved it! An emotional rollercoaster that had me laughing, crying and so p#ssed off I wanted to scream. I couldn't recommend it more.

I really like this story. Rome, though, was a freakin' roller coaster. I was up and down with him. I loved him then hated him then loved him all over again.

Okay, I gotta hand it to this author - this one blew me away! It's been a while since a book has completely absorbed me in the pages, but this one came out of nowhere and did that "page turner - gotta know what happens next thing!" Hmm, where do I start? There were so many good things that I loved about this book. I loved that the heroine, Molly was British. She was a great character and the British dialogue was interesting. She was that great mix of strong, yet vulnerable that makes you connect and cheer her on throughout the story. And Romeo, wow - he's that sexy/bad boy/alpha - yet tender I fall in love with in my book boyfriends. Yes, yes this is the "bad boy good girl " type of story but the plot was so unique ! Not predictable at all. The chemistry between Romeo and Molly was off the charts! But so was the emotion! I won't give away the plot here - this is a great read and I don't want to spoil it for you. I will be reading more from this author. She is truly talented !
