I started this yesterday and finished it this morning, and that's super fast for me! Despite the completely overused trope present here, I still enjoyed it, for the most part. There were a couple comments from Shep and his friends that made me cringe, but I guess it's all well and good if he learns his lesson in the end, right?
This is the first book I read by Monica Murphy and it left me wanting more. The story of Shep and Jade is intoxicating. To see how a person can affect you so strongly even when you don't want it to, it's fantastic. I love how their relationship evolved and how their friends felt about it. Can't wait to see the other guys fall =]
Oh my god oh my God I love this book it was so good Shep is the best... Monica Murphy you ROCKED it..more to come!!!
I’ve read this book multiple times and it never never never gets boring... I still smile and get butterflies every time I read it
It really is such a brilliant book x

Nice read although I felt the ending was missing more to it but overall I Loved it Shep and Jade are cute together. :)
Dicen por ahí que si has leído un libro new adult los has leído todos... Y es cierto. No es la literatura más innovadora ni creativa, y que tenga clichés es algo que el lector da por sentado antes inclusive de leer la sinopsis. Pero hay clichés y están LOS clichés; esos que últimamente los autores más inteligentes intentan evitar. Al parecer Monica Murphy no recibió el memo.
Cliché Nº1: Ojos a la Christian Grey.
Porque si tus ojos no cambian de color con el deseo, no eres 'cool'.
Cliché Nº2: Es un dios, pero soy taaan distinta a todas las demás que fingiré que no me parece sexy... al menos hasta que se fije en mí, gracias a que soy la única que no se muere por él.
Cliché Nº3: Billonario god-sex se fija en chica tímida y "sin nada especial".
¿No les ha pasado que van caminando por la calle sin maquillaje, tipo normal, con su "simple y común" cuerpo, y un hermoso/joven/billonario se enamora de ustedes? A mí me pasa todos los días.
Cliché Nº4: Tienes el poder de sacar lo mejor de mí.
Toda mi vida he sido un mujeriego que utilizaba a las mujeres como muñecas inflables sin valor, pero desde que te conocí, hace una hora, he cambiado. Ahora conozco el amor, y te valoro como nunca antes valore a ninguna.
Cliché Nº5: Padres ausentes y snobs.
Porque para los padres lo que importa no es el amor, sino el estatus social de tu pareja.
Además de eso tenemos slut-shaming, insta-lust y mujeres siendo objetificadas (apostar a tu novia en un juego de póquer, really?). Y quien sabe qué más, luego de un rato simplemente comencé a pasar las hojas.
Ahora, deja lo que sea que estés haciendo: lee este libro y comparte mi sufrimiento.
It was uber corny. I admit I enjoyed some parts of the book but not enough to give it a higher rating.
I almost Dnf this book in the end of the sample, the beginning did not catch me, the guy has such a bad attitude, all god like argh! But I am glad I bought the book because it was one of the few books that you can feel people falling in love, not the instant love crap, but felling comfortable enough to let go and feel something for each other. In the end I cannot give less than 5 stars! Now waiting for Gabe or Tristan history!
THIS is how you write a good enemies-to-lovers story. Jade and Shep don't like each other at first, but there's a ton of UST even when they're squabbling which eventually leads to intimacy and actual affection.
It could have used a better editor (mixed up 'affect' and 'effect' and a couple instances of a spare 'the' left in a sentence that spanned two lines) but overall a fun and lighthearted read.

I am such a sucker for new adult books with a bad boy and a good girl. I really enjoyed this book. It was very entertaining to listen to. This wasn't a story that I haven't read before. I just love when a bad boy tames his ways for a girl. It's so romantic.
