Ever read that love story that knocks your socks off? Ever get so into a book that you lose track of everything going on around you?

This book is scorching with love and lust. Carissa and Drew's story is one you weren't quite ready for.

Carissa is not a relationship kind of woman. She only sleeps with a man once... anywhere, anytime. The word slut might come to mind, but once you get to know her, you just see her as a woman who loves sex. The two won't be so synonymous once you delve into this story.

Drew is the frat boy/football star. He is the all-American boy, except he isn't. He is from London. His senior year, getting ready to graduate. He has eyes for no one but Carissa.

With Carissa's no-strings attached motto and Drew's persistence, this is one recipe for lust and heartbreak!

I was drawn into their budding relationship. Carissa trying to fight her pull to Drew. Drew trying to get Carissa to open up her heart to him. These two are one big explosion waiting to happen!

This is a book you won't want to put down. I don't want to be a spoiler, but you will be pleased with the ending. For a minute, I almost wanted a heartbreaking ending... But... well, it kind of is... and it kind of isn't. It is the perfect ending to this overwhelming story! ( )
