millie moves into her brothers house at the start of her freshman year, where she has 2 other roommates besides her brother. jude is your typical college playboy and millie is a virgin. when she gets paired up with a boy for a school project, she starts crushing on him a bit and asks jude for help with boys since she's inexperienced. i love how they get close while he's helping her and they build a friendship before things go any farther. however jude doesn't think he's worth it and holds back a lot. i was a little sad about the lack of grovelling on jude's part but i did enjoy the growth of his character throughout. their relationship was sweet and i love the friendship they built before anything.

There is so much that I want to say about this book!! Jude and Millie were so perfect for each other. I loved the themes in this book because they matched some of my personal favourite things. Rain, dance and her music taste! The tension the connection I seriously have zero complaints. I adored the way that he talked about her and to her. He was so respectful of her discovering who she was and exploring her sexuality. I adore this entire series and all of the characters so the cameos were wonderful. Read this series! You won’t regret it.

“I kiss her because if I don’t I’m not sure I’ll survive. Fucking pathetic of me, I know, but this girl brings me to my knees.”

This book was another great one in this series. I find that these stories are all sweet with angst and enough steam to really grip the reader. I love me some bad boys and no one fits the bill quite like Jude does and yes, he is a playboy who still sleeps around to rid thoughts of the unforbidden best friend sister. The more we learn about Jude we see there is a lot more to him than the rumors although he doesn’t help his case by sleeping with OW, but the way he treats Millie is so gentle and sweet. Millie is as innocent as they come, but as much as he tries Jude has a very difficult time keeping his thoughts from wondering. Not going to lie there was a few times when Jude infuriated me while bringing home another “let me forget Millie conquest” especially with the nasty chick that barged in the bathroom while Millie was showering, just gross, but I wanted to punch him myself and Millie to really let him and that chick have it. I would say this is like a love triangle because while Jude is trying to forget Millie, Mille is trying to pursue her crush to forget about Jude and it makes other’s feelings involved. Usually I’m not one for triangles, but honestly this wasn’t a true one because they both are truly into each other and only really had eyes for each other just got a tad detoured. Can Jude face his past and see that he deserves the love Millie has for him or will it become too much and eat at him? Loved this read so much and can’t wait to see what Daire’s story has for us.

This one was better, the books have been improving as the series goes on , and I will be reading the next book, and the other one that seems to have been set up in this.
