At first, it took me a bit to get into the book but when I got past that, I could not put it down! 

"'Fight with me tomorrow...Fight me all week, for all I care. But don't fight me right now, Adams.'"

The hate between Hamilton and Gwen is REAL. The hate-to-love is strong in this book and I'm here for it! This is a book where you will hate Hamilton. He'll frustrate you and make you want to throw the book away, but that's the beauty of him. It will be like you're the one in a hate-to-love slow-burn relationship with Hamilton. Your love of him will keep to itself until suddenly it hits you in the face --as Gwen does to Hamilton--and then you have nothing to but accept that Hamilton is glorious and that that charade he puts up is nothing but a front. 

"'Never happened. All my fault. You hate me. I'm the worst. Hasty post-coital exit.' He sweeps his own bag from the ground, throwing it over a shoulder. 'There, covered all the bases for you. I'll go ahead and take the last one.'"

As for Gwen? Well, she just captures your heart from the beginning. She steals and doesn't give it back. Gwen knows exactly what she wants and what she must to do get ahead. She's prepared to fight for her family, no matter the consequences to herself. She has a savior complex and while it has been done so many many many many times, it doesn't feel like a trope. We get to see why she is the way she is. Why she feels like she has to be the protector. And finally, why she doesn't bother to protect herself to the same extreme.

"'She's nothing like you. You're a pain in my ass. You drive me crazy. All you ever do is argue with me. And as much as I hate it--'
'You like it.'
God, I really really do."

Their story isn't sweet. Their story has you at the edge of your seat, filled with dread over knowing that at some point everything will be revealed. Their relationship doesn't come easy. This story will have you laughing at some points and then frustrated the next. You want Hamilton and Gwen to just stop being so frustrating and realize that they are perfect for each other. That they push each other to be better not just for the relationship but for themselves. I really enjoyed watching both of them grow together and separately. It's been a bit since I read an actual bully romance --not just a hate-to-love with some bullying sprinkled in-- and I honestly couldn't put it down once I got into the story. Hamilton and Gwen captured my heart and refuse to give it back. 

I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait for the next book in this series and who it will be about.
