This tantalizing and enjoyable newest installment in the Campus Diaries series leaves readers blushing and joyful. 

To everyone else, Charlotte is a put together perfect student in a demanding field. She wears the right clothes, says the right things, and is nothing short of upstanding in the eyes of her sorority sisters and family. But away from that world there's Charlie, who loves a thrill and has more than one secret hookup under her belt. When she starts talking to two guys who share a profile on an app, consider her interest piqued. That is until these two guys go from anonymous to real and could threaten the image she has carefully crafted. But that doesn't stop the temptation Will and Beckett, two Briar hockey players and best friends, pose. 

This was a sexy and fun romance that got surprisingly serious with one of Charlie's B plots. The chemistry between the characters was definitely there, and for someone who has read the other Campus Diaries books it was fun to see Beckett and Will get a chance to have a romance. Elle Kennedy delivers again, and honestly I would read almost any book in the Briar universe.
