This is possibly the longest and most gif-filled review I have yet!


Amazing. Astonishing. Astounding. Surprising. Stunning. Staggering. Shocking. Startling...


Penny Reid you did it again! Words is not enough to fully express how AMAZING this book is. So I have gathered GIFs that would help me in order to give a review that this book deserves. 
for




So let's start with the cover. I think all of you can agree with me that this is the perfect cover the book with the table of elements was really something that made the cover really perfect for the whole theme of the book. Add the hot male model was a great bonus. (Well not exactly a bonus more like the center of attraction)

I have been a fan of ALL of Penny Reid's books so when I saw that an ARC for this book was available on IndieSage for review I JUST HAD TO GET IT, and I was not disappointed. 

This book starts of with "Kaitlyn Parker" hiding inside the closet. If this was any other book I would have already been weirded out but since this is Reid I know the reason behind this would be hilarious. And I was not wrong. All my expectations was reached. 


Kaitlyn overheard someone plotting something devious against her lab partner Martin Sandeke—bad boy, jerkface bully, and the universe’s hottest, wealthiest, and most unobtainable bachelor.

So being a good Samaritan she decided to tell him what's going to happen and that made her end up on a one week vacation with Sandeke. 

This book reminds me of another book by Penny Reid which isNeanderthal Seeks Human same geeky heroine and alpha male hero. But with a completely different plot. So if you guys have read NSH then this is a book that YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO READ.

I loved how one moment Sandeke was just itching Kait's shoulder then the situation turned into something more erotic. Although this book is indeed a lot more erotic than the previous books of Reid, it didn't appear like it was cheap. I guess the reason is that when things gets hot and heavy between Martin and Kait, the heroine still maintains an innocence that is such refreshing to see. 



Here is the problem, Martin. I feel like I like you."

The sharpness in his gaze softened and his mouth curved into a lazy, satisfied smile.
"That doesn't sound like a problem to me."

"But it is," I pressed. "Because the feeling originates entirely in my pants."


Sometimes what she says is totally unrelated to what's happening and it's just so funny and endearing. Martin Sandeke was such a complex character. He may seem like the normal playboy you see in romance novels but he has deeper layers to him that you'll slowly see once you get deeper into the book. He's just not a typical heartthrob he's someone you'd love to be friends with once you get to know him better.

And now I'm sitting here in front of my computer thinking of more things to say about this book that will entice you to red it. But I can't think of anything else to say anymore. Just that you'll regret not reading this book. This I am sure of.

  3. The quote is really funny. Tells a lot about her. I can't imagine her wanting to be friends with a bully though. Hope his hidden depths turn out to be worth it. Thanks for sharing it!
