This is a steamy, new adult college sports romance. Josephine and Jagger were friends when they were little. After years of not seeing each other, they run into each other their freshman year of college at a party. They start flirting at the party and sleep together. She is a virgin, but doesn’t tell him until after the fact. She knew it was a no string attached night, and when he doesn’t pursue her she starts dating Lawrence. Jo dated Lawrence for three years, during which time she avoided Jagger at all costs. She dropped any classes that she happened to have with them, left a party if he was there, etcetera.
Her last year of college, she has to take a math class that Jagger is also taking in order to graduate on time. She has recently broken up with Lawrence after he cheated on her, and is definitely not looking to start a relationship with anyone let alone Jagger. There is a popular house near campus that Jo finally got to the top of the waiting list for and gets to move in to. She shows up to get the keys, and it turns out Jagger is her new roommate. After arguing and avoiding each other for a while, they both give in to their attraction and agree to a casual fling.
They both have feelings for each other, but pretend that they don’t. Feelings get hurt when things are misinterpreted towards the end of the book. They both avoid each other instead of confronting the other person about what they think they saw. While this conflict is probably realistic when it comes to college students, I am tired of the miscommunication/misinterpretation trope. Let’s be adults and talk to each other.
Overall, this was a fun read that I would recommend if you are looking for something steamy that is a fast and easy read.
