I read this as part of the Red Hot Obsessions boxed set. I was disappointed with the story. It was not what I was expecting. At one point I almost gave up on it, but I stuck it out. I found the characters rather stilted and I just could not connect with them.
I liked the general plot line of this book, Nerd Autumn starts College, she's from a poor family and is determined to do the best she can after her parents gave all their money to get her there.On her first day things don't go to plan, and she ends up meeting Hunk Hunter Bane...Hunter, sees the sweet shy girl and is intrigued, but Hunter has secrets, he's involved with some bad people. Autumn has always been the A grade student but something attracts her to Hunter, Hunter is also attracted to Autumn - or 'Leafy' as he nick names her. He should stay away, but he can’t. If and when Leafy finds out about the mess he is in will she run or stay?I had a bit of a Love/Hate situation with Hunter, athough he is doing things that are not exactly legal, but you start to like him as he struggles to be good while being in a situation he has no control over... what I hated was his Autumn's friend and room mate Evie was quite flat and other than being the person she went to school with I felt no connection to her. Evie whinged and spat her dummy out over the silliest of things. I don't like to give out spoilers, so I won't go into too much detail.there was a lot of internal debating in the story - which is told in Autumn's POV but overall I enjoyed the story - I think it gets better towards the end of the book, I think that reading FIGHT the Short Story Prequel 70% through this book helped me understand why Autumn was the shy girl she was, when obviously underneath it all she had spunk and guts to stick by Hunter and his problems...Over all this is a good book, I look forward to reading Fury next to see what will happen next.
