Still reeling from the death of her father, Alexandria hopes to find both independence and reprieve from her grief by heading off to college. However, life throws her a serious curveball when she discovers that her roommate isn't quite the person she had imagined.
Smoking, tattoos, and street racing for fast cash are Elijah's only interests. A harsh life has made him apathetic and indifferent, until Alexandria enters his life. When their paths cross, turmoil abounds.
An inevitable encounter, an undeniable attraction, and an unexpected chance at love-will it be enough?
The blurb doesn't do this book justice. Seriously.
Alex is such a delightful character and, well, Elijah, who by the way has an awesome name is my new favorite book boyfriend.
Not only is he hot, funny, sexy as hell, but he also races. This is the first novel i've read with racing in it so i'm so glad I came across this book. I have a thing for cars ;)
Even I was confused when she was looking for Ellie, as the blurb kind of gave that away. Her reaction was priceless when she finds out the hot Elijah is her new room mate.
The chemistry between the two was electrifying. There was so much tension and angst between the two that I was finally glad when things started steaming up between them.
Neither give in on their attraction to each other, which made the book so realistic. I liked how the author wrote about the little things that got each others attention. Like trying to walk past each other but going the same way, walking into the bathroom together. Things like that. It made the book seem more real for me.
The only downfall was waiting for Alex to dump Liam's ass. I hated him from the beginning and never understood her need to try with him.
4*
Cannot wait to read more from this author :)
