Synopsis

AMBER TURNER has trust issues. Major trust issues. Shipped off to boarding school at the tender age of six by her power hungry mother and distant father, she tried hard to gain her parents’ approval and have the love she craved. After graduating high school, she comes home from school hoping she will finally have the family life she wants. Turns out, dear old mom merely needs her to smile and wave for the photo ops while she runs for public office. After she wins her coveted position, her mother doesn’t need her anymore and gives Amber two choices: be kicked out of the house without a dime or find a “suitable” husband from the “right” family at an exclusive college in Texas. Yee-fucking-haw.

TOMMY BOLT is a blue-eyed country boy with secrets of his own. To help out an old family friend, he offers to stand in as the school chauffeur. Damsel in distress and all. He picks up Amber and her aunt when they land, driving her towards her new life. Drawn to her striking sense of humor, smart mouth, and her scrumptious ass, he offers to show her around town. With his dark curls, sapphire blue eyes, mischievous grin, and one smokin’ bod, Amber is tempted to get to know him better. After a scorching hook-up, Amber tries to make it all about the sex, brushing off every attempt Tommy makes to get to know her with sarcasm and half-truths. Tommy pushes Amber’s limits, emotionally and physically, forcing her to break down her walls. His only condition is I don’t share. His only requirement is honesty. After one monumentally stupid decision, Amber violates his trust and Tommy walks away, obliterating her heart.

Amber has been kicked out of her house by her bitch of a mum who is  more concerned with her career than being a mother. She moves Amber to Texas to go live with Aunt Patty and attend a well to do university.

Amber is feisty, spunky, confident and full of spirit. It was a interesting change to read about a young women who liked boys and girls as it’s the ‘person she likes’. It was a new experience for me to read a NA where the female lead had different sexual preferences typical of most NA books and I really liked it. Mostly because Amber and her roommate and friend Sally were hilarious together as well as flirty and sexy.

Tommy is the ultimate southern boy with the old fashioned southern charm but with an edge. He was beautiful with a tight body and piercing blue eyes, the ultimate country boy who’s also a musician, an alpha and has a spark of dominance in him. You really can’t ask for more. Especially since he certainly wasn’t a gentleman in the bedroom. The sex scenes between him and Amber were HOT HOT HOT!!

This was a good, university filled drama story with off the charts hot sex scenes. The story mainly revolved around Amber and her friends life in the university, mostly their sexual and party life. It was filled with angst and drama not just between Tommy and Amber but other characters as well like Sally and Lilly. There were also background stories that kept you hooked and wanting to read on to know what happens next like who was attacking the waitresses? who was messing with Ambers grades? And what is up with Bobby?

My favorite scene has to be the question and answer, punishment and reward game Amber and Tommy played. It was beyond sexy but also loved that Tommy was trying to get Amber to open up for him, it’s the moment you realize he wants more than just sex from her and actually wants to get to know Amber for who she really is.

It does end very suddenly, which isn’t a favorite of mine. Everything is left very much open ended and no issues are solved or questions answered. However on the plus side it means I will definitely be reading the second book to find out how everything works out.

This to me was a YA plot but with NA content. There are hot and explicit sex scenes and drug use so 18+ but with a story that took place in university and was filled with relationship drama, older readers of the YA genre and NA readers would really enjoy this one.
