Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Tatum and Cooper’s story is a spicy, hot brother’s best friend/forbidden romance/secret relationship/fake relationship story where a playboy falls hard and fast for the one girl he shouldn’t want.
While I found some of the dialog to be a bit corny (do 20somethings really talk like that?), I really enjoyed this story. Tate wants Cooper to take her V-card before she starts college. He needs a tutor to bring his college GPA up a bit, so they make a mutually beneficial deal over the summer. But she’s his best friend’s little sister, and Jackson has essentially told Cooper to keep his hands off of Tate, so they keep their friends with benefits relationship a secret.
But the more time Cooper spends with Tatum, the more he realizes that he really likes her. And has always liked her. Once they get to campus, Tate agrees to “fake date” Cooper so he can kind of rehab his reputation. While Tate continues to get the bennies from Cooper, she has No idea that Coop suggested the fake relationship because he wanted to prove to her that he can actually be a good boyfriend.
Of course, Tate begins to fall for Coop, and as the lines get blurred, she gets more confused not realizing that Coop really does like her…. Sigh. The miscommunication is kind of a mess, but I thought that it worked well for this story, Cooper and Tate’s relationship, and how it affects Cooper’s friendship with Jackson.
And all those love notes? Absolutely swoony!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
