SYNOPSIS
Leo F*cking Hernandez.
North Boston University’s star running back, notorious bachelor, and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list.
And now?
He’s my new roommate.
I used to think I loved him.
But that was before I hated him.
He doesn’t remember who I am, or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him, I couldn’t have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer, chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist.
“The Pit,” as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players, has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped, either.
But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop, I’ve learned to ignore him — no matter how he’s tried to get under my skin.
At least, until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house, I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can’t refuse.
Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess.
Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street, but in the same house, with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? It’s impossible.
Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so.
He’s broken my heart once.
I won’t let him do it again.
MY REVIEW
This book was so perfect. The way Leo treated Mary was just so adorable. You know, in books, when the FMC does something, and MMC has to maintain so much self-control not to touch her or do something stupid. There are multiple scenes like that in this book. Multiple. Did I almost pass out reading them? Yes, I did.
Leo is a character that I've loved from the start of the series; he was so fun and sweet, and let's be honest, everyone could see through that cocky playboy thing. Mary, on the other hand, is a badass tattoo artist /gamer chic who was an emo chick in high school, but she's also a total dreamer. (Aka, what I wanna be, but I’m so not emo😭) He’s my favourite out of all four. (No offence to my other fav clay, of course)
There’s a scene where absolutely everything changes between Leo and Mary, and that scene has me in pieces. SHATTERED. and the way he takes care of her 😩 (in bed and out of bed, too👀)
It's releasing on 15th Feb, and I can't thank valentine pr and Kandi Steiner enough for the ARC!! Do check the TWs before reading. It doesn't have much, but there is SA shown.
