I love a good story about a man-whore finding his "one" and this is a pretty good one. I didn't love it because I never fully connected with Austin & Jane mainly because everything seemed to happen in fast-forward and I thought it would have been better to focus more on the connection between the two before the hot monkey sex started. The sex was hot but I have one major gripe. There was no mention of birth control. NONE. I think it's pretty lax in 2012 to write a story about a guy who has screwed his way through his college to not even mention condoms. Can we say "cesspool of STDs???" But other than that it was an entertaining read and I'm sure I'll be picking up another book by this author.
I like this book. It was an easy read....could have been longer and a bit more in depth for a higher rating.
It was good, but too predictable. Too much parental influence for being in their 20's and seniors in college. But, it was a cute story.
Dieses Buch ist definitiv etwas für zwischen durch. Es ist kurz und auch nicht besonders tiefsinnig, also perfekt, wenn man mal etwas leichtes und amüsantes lesen möchte.
Die Charaktere sind sympathisch und haben beide ihre Stärken und Schwächen.
Jane ist optimistisch, stur und schlagfertig, während Austin der typische Frauenaufreiser ist und nie länger als einen Tag bei einer Frau bleibt. Dennoch steckt mehr in ihm, als man zu Beginn glauben mag und genau das hat mir so gut gefallen. Besonders die Chemie zwischen Jane und Austin hat von Anfang an gestimmt.
Witzige Dialoge und Wortgefechte, sowie sarkastische Bemerkungen und peinliche Situationen konnten mich wunderbar für einige Stunden unterhalten.
Wer also mal etwas für zwischen durch braucht oder einfach nur eine Pause von einem Buch, der sollte sich dieses hier auf jeden Fall mal genauer anschauen :)

Amelia James call her books trashy books. But honestly, this book in particular, was better than that.

love this book ! wee bit cheesy at times but hot at others! was totaly glued only took me 4 hours to read:)!!
Very sweet and quick love story!! Awww warm and fuzzy :)
I really did want to give this 5 stars, I was hooked from the very beginning and didnt want to stop. However as good as it was there were just something's that kept me from saying this was an outstanding novel. I felt like there were story lines built up quite a bit (Natalie, Sara, his mother, his fathers persistence) that just fizzled when fully revealed. I liked Austin and I was glad to see his POV so much and see that he really did like her from the get-go. She was a good character too, strong, independent, talented, and yet still held the very feminine passion and romance. It was a good book that I am very glad I read.
Ah ha ha. This book was almost laughable. Not even sure why when the dialogue put me on edge.
I'm going to have to quote something this time.
"You did it, Janie. You changed my mind. You healed my heart." He pulled her close. "You were right."
All in the span of two weeks! And yes, I'm literally giggling because it's just so awful! But wow. Incredible. Jane deserves a medal - she achieved the impossible and changed 'bad boy' Austin from whore to nice boy! Yay!
But seriously, Austin wasn't a bad boy, he was just a toolbox who slept with lots of women, treated them like crap and blamed it on it's parents. I wondered if he ever thought it through and realised he was admitting his parents controlled his penis. Would be less horny then, hey buddy? But after we got past Austin's total barf-worthy pick up lines, (for example, "Mm-mm, you're the kind of girl a man likes to dream about.") which, he blamed on his perpetual honesty (dude, you're actually just a twat), and 'perfectness' - because he's a star football player, going to be a doctor, pretty freaking hot and great in bed - Austin wasn't too bad. He was even cute at times. Then he'd do something douchey. But whatever.
Janie, on the other hand, was just annoying. She really was perfect. We hate perfect chicks. She's hot and smart and athletic. Mhmm, sure.
The worst thing though was she was all like, 'bitch, please' when Austin tried to pick her up but then at the same time she was like 'swoon, sex me now you ruggedly handsome beast'. So, yeah after she was like, learn my name and I'll go out with you (obviously she's a genius and doesn't realise that she's on a website and, you know, generally known around the college) he's finds out her name in a day and then they're together! Huzzah! Dates and all that stuff, they have wild sex which is amazing because they're falling in love, he tries to break up with her and she's not pissed off at him for kissing another chick, but because he's trying to break up with her and you have an... idiot. Jane just wasn't that smart.
Just the way the characters were written was terrible. They were contrived and unrealistic and oh my god, Austin's father is supposed to be the douchey dad - which he was - but he was so... unrealistically written that I just wanted to skip his parts.
All in all, the plot sucked because it's a romance of change and that shouldn't happen in two weeks and the characters were stupid.
But I finished it all because it was fun and hot... so 2 stars!
