Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.



My Opinions:


*5 Stars*
This was my first Elle Kennedy book, so I've got to say that I did buy this book because of all the hype that went with it. OMG! However, I didn't know that this book would turn out to be one of the greatest book that I've ever read and you bet I would pick up every other Elle Kennedy book.

I would like to start off with Hannah, the main female protagonist, by saying that she is one of the strongest, most independent female character that I've read. She does not get mix in with the group of popular kids and learns how to cope with situations as they come. Even though she experienced a really traumatic past, she was able to learn and cope with everything through therapy and continue to live a regular life. She even has a crush on this one guy, Justin - a football player, in her ethics class where she would sometimes flashes a glance in his direction without ever trying to approach him and I could totally relate with her in this situation because I would do the same thing and would not try to talk to him unless he tries to talk to me first. When all seems to go well for her life at Briar University, up comes Garrett Graham asking her to be his ethics tutor.

Garrett Graham lived a very rewarding life where everything he wanted is handed to him, but many people including his friends doesn't know that behind all smile and popularity, he experienced a very painful past. However when Garrett failed his ethics midterms, he will do whatever it takes to get Hannah, the girl he saw got an A on the exam, to be his tutor for the retake in order for him to play hockey. I love how persistant Garrett is when he is set to do something, he will do whatever it takes for him to get it. I have got to say when I first started this book, I did not really like Garrett that much because he was such a playboy; however as time goes on people starts to change including Garrett. He went from being a playboy to wanting to have one's trust to being one of the greatest, bests boyfriend ever! 😍 He is now my number one book boyfriend and I don't think he'll ever get replaced.

Is there a novella to this book? Can I get more of Garrett and Hannah? A happily-ever after? Garrett and Hannah has got to be one of my favorite sports-romance couple. I love their connections and how Garrett and Hannah felt that they can depend on each other and trust each other so much where they can tell each other about their deepest and most painful secrets. I also loved it when Garrett found out that he actually has feelings for Hannah and will do everything in his power to make hers his; however, Hannah is trying to fight the chemistry that they were having knowing that Garrett is a playboy and he doesn't want to have any serious relationships with anyone. 

Overall, this was a very heartwarming book for me to reading for my exams week though not very good for me because I kept on wanting to reread that book and dreamt about it so many times.



Where to get the paperback?
