He's the player of all players... Newly broke girl Alexandria Asher just wants to live a normal life. After her parents are sent to prison on embezzlement charges, she enrolls in college under her mother's maiden name and tries her best to pretend she's someone else. Tristan Prescott is everything Alex is trying to avoid. A seemingly egotistical, lazy, rich jerk, she dumps her beer on his head when he comes on to her one night at a party. This only spurs Tristan into action. He loves nothing more than a challenge. And the beautiful Alex is exactly the type of challenge that intrigues him. Despite her reluctance, Alex finds herself quickly involved with Tristan. Underneath that playboy exterior is a good guy, a sweet and sexy guy who she is undoubtedly falling for. What they both don't realize is the actions of Alex's parents are the reason for so much tragedy in Tristan's family. And when Tristan discovers who Alex and her family really is, can he forgive and forget? No library descriptions found. |

This one was definitely on the slower side for me.
I never particularly liked Tristan's character in the previous two books. It's odd I normally love the asshole, playboy persona but I never warmed to his character. So he had a lot of sucking up do to make for me to enjoy his story. And unfortunately, he never really recovers from my initial impression.
Alex was also a little iffy for me. I really liked that she didn't take Tristan's shit; someone really needed to put in in his place. But then she would just create excuses for why she found it attractive and that irked me.
This story in particular suffers from the fact that the main source of conflict (Alex's family ruining Tristan's) doesn't get brought up until the last 5 chapters--and then it's quickly resolved in about 2 chapters. When I'm not particularly loving the romance, I need something else to distract me and that plot point would have been it. While I appreciate the lighter presentation of this series, it just didn't work for this particular one for me.
