Don't You Dare
by CE Ricci
I always struggle with college romances because 20yrs old boys aren't that thoughtful and dedicated and mature, until the third act comes around and then they are all bumbling idiots you want to slap some sense into. But putting that aside... this wasn't bad.
Aspen's reason for entering this friends-with-benefit relationship is absurd, but it gets them together so whatever.
Keene is such a sweatheart, it's surprising his optimism in relationships hasn't been crushed by people before, he is such a sap (but in a good way).
Side note, there is a hot tub scene. Where, they arrive at a rental proprety, notice the hot tub, and jump in the hot tub. Now to me - and I am no hot tub expert but...- shouldn't they be jumping into an <italic>*empty*</italic> hottub, and then fill it/turn it on? In what world warm filled bubbling hot tubs are left unsupervised until a frisky couple arrives from their drive? So when they said they got into the hot tub, all I could think about was them turning it on and watching it fill slowly as their erections die down and going to grab a snack and hitting the loo before getting down to business.
I get hung up on unconsequential details and I believe authors should too.
Finally, neither of those boys have a job, and they spend their summers on road trips. It's implied their mothers/families aren't rich. How do they finance their lifestyle and budget for impronptu sushi lunches?
