This is my first Elle Kennedy book and I really enjoyed reading it! There was drama, angst (but not too much angst) and the writing itself was pretty good. 

It's a pretty typical romance book. You have Hannah Wells, the smart, confident girl and you have Garrett Graham, the stereotypical jock that sleeps around and "all he cares about is the sport". They make a deal and end up falling for each other. 

There's fake dating (sorta), there's past trauma and character development, there's humor and more.

I totally see how you could read this as a standalone but I'm definitely going to read the rest of the series.
