Saint Devereux has a reputation of being a bad boy, but no one knows about his broken past. Lennon Rousseau is the ultimate good girl. When their paths cross they could not be more opposite. However, Lennon could use Saint to get her parents off her back. And Saint would love to tanish the perfect golden girl as revenge against her dad. The plan is flawless since Saint doesn’t do relationships and Lennon knows never to fall for the bad boy. 

There is just something about Maren Moore’s universe that I love. I love love, love a bad boy and a good girl; throw in fake dating and “teach me” moments and I am hooked. Sometimes I’m hesitant when I see that it’s a college romance. I feel like I’m too far removed from college or it’s weird since I also teach at a college level, but once I dive into Maren’s stories, that’s no longer a factor. The characters that she writes just feel different than other college romance stories.  This isn’t only the bad boy falling for the good girl. It’s the good girl coming out of her shell on her own terms and refusing to live for other people.
