I enjoyed the book. I know it gets a lot of mixed reviews but i genuinely thought it was an okay novel. Th relationship between Travis and Abby is a beautiful disaster. Travis is a fighter at an underground ring and he sleeps around a lot. However, he sees Abby at one of his fights and suddenly everything changes. She isn’t a girl that falls at his feet, but instead cant stand to be around him. They are forced to hangout and soon she says they’ll be friends. Well their friendship becomes complicated when a wager is made. Abby is forced to stay with Travis for a whole month. 

He has changed his behavior and ways for her, but he’s far from perfect. Feelings become complicated as Abby promised herself that she wouldn’t fall for anyone like her father and Travis seems like a bad guy. He’s smart but he has a lot of tattoos and drives recklessly fast on his motorcycle. Will he be able to show Abby that he can be the guy she deserves? Will Abby realize he isn’t anything like her dad?

The book seems a bit repetitive towards the end like they flip between on and off a lot. The constant battle of should we be together can get a bit annoying. However, the spicy sex scenes and language aren’t for the faint of heart. The novel has se cute moments and some sad moments ultimately it was a great novel. I mean I’m typing this review up at 1 am as i just finished the novel

This book is, sadly, another case of romanticisation of an abusive, harmful, unrealistic, and toxic relationship. Certainly not worth reading.
