Tucker Collins. Treasured college football coach by day, Reed Point’s most notorious bachelor by night—and the thorn in my side for the past 10 years. It wasn’t always that way. Once upon a time, Tucker and I were inseparable. We grew up next door to each other and he was almost like a brother to me. My closest friend. But as we got older, things started to change. Secretly, I loved his cocky grin and the way his blue eyes would lock on mine. I was resigned to lusting after him from afar until one day he kissed me—only to reject me the very next day. Since then, I’ve tried to keep as much distance between Tucker and I as possible. When we do cross paths, which is more often than I’d like seeing as our parents are best friends, that man still knows exactly how to get under my skin. Then one night, Tucker corners me on a date and demands to know who the guy is. I tell him it’s just a fling, not that it’s any of his business. The truth is I’m leaving town in a few months, so I’m not looking for anything serious. But when I admit to having certain needs, Tucker comes up with an agreement. That’s how I end up in a frienemies-with-benefits pact with my childhood best friend. We have a list of rules—no sleeping over, no cuddling and definitely no falling in love. But before long it’s taking everything in me not to break every single one. Catching feelings for Tucker Collins is a very bad idea. There are a million reasons why I should walk away. But it’s hard to leave when I’m having so much fun. Tucker is Reed Point’s hottest bachelor. The boy who broke my heart. And my new dirty secret.

    The book was well-written and the cast of characters enjoyable. What I did not love was the main couple. I found them kind of toxic. Don't get me wrong, it might be that I am just not a "enemies to lovers" girlie, for the most part. But these two were just atrocious to each other. Especially the MMC.

    The saving grace was that the book was, in fact, written well. There were well-crafted settings, in-depth characters, and funny moments. Though I wasn't all in with the couple, I still enjoyed the book for what it was. Three stars for me, but definitely willing to try other titles by this author in hopes of a 4 or 5 star, because I think if I had enjoyed the romance more, it would've been.

    I received an ARC of this book and am leaving an honest review.
