A standalone novel.
Reagan Reynolds...Water polo god.Owner of a face that belongs under Wikipedia’s definition of drop dead gorgeous.Too charming for his own good.But most importantly––the worst driver on the planet.
No, really, I’m pretty sure his blind nana taught him how to drive.
I had no idea who he was until he almost ran me over. And frankly, I kind of wish I still didn’t because then I wouldn’t have a sprained ankle to show for it. And my leg wouldn’t resemble a boa constrictor that’s swallowed a feral pig.
Yeah, it’s that bad.
I’ve spent years saving every penny I’ve ever earned to be able to transfer to Malibu University. And now my entire future––including my scholarship––is in jeopardy.
So I either accept the help he insists on giving me, or lose everything I’ve sacrificed for.
In the meantime, I’m going to ignore the fact that we’re becoming friends.
And I’m definitely going to pretend he’s not turning into the object of my…umm, dirty fantasies.
That’s not happening.
Not even a little.
Because the minute I clapped eyes on him I knew he was nothing but trouble.

P. Dangelico scores again! I loved every minute of this slow burn, witty story filled with lots of snappy dialogue. From the first page, I was transported into the world of Reagan and Alice, who meet in college when Reagan almost runs Alice over. Reagan and Alice are total opposites. Reagan is a rich, entitled, popular water polo player. Alice is a sarcastic, smart mouthed New Jersey native thrown into the rich, glamorous world of Malibu. She doesn’t recognize Reagan and has never heard of water polo.
Reagan is a good guy and feels bad for injuring Alice when he nearly hits her with his car. He comes from money and parents with a lot of expectations. He wants to help Alice but she continually refuses his help and that drives Reagan crazy. He is not used to being ignored. Alice grew up with a lot of love but little money. She is snarky, fun, honest, down to earth and Reagan is drawn to her.
This college sports romance is a great start to a new series by P. Dangelico. I fell in love with Reagan and was also highly entertained by his water polo teammates. I love all the entertaining interactions between Reagan and his friends. I was laughing out loud at all their bantering. Alice girlfriends are fun and snarky, too. My only problem with the story was its abrupt ending. I was so invested in these characters I needed more.
