Story
Theo Brooks is hard not to notice. With his coy smirk, rock-hard abs, and skilled agility on the ice, he's the cockiest of all the jocks and, unfortunately for me, my new roommate. When Admissions mixes up my first and last name, and I end up living in the male dorms, I feel my perfectly tied schedule loosening with every string Theo pulls. And he likes to pull every single one. It isn't until I find out that my long-time boyfriend is sampling other girls that things get interesting. Theo proposes a solution to my problem.

Story
Bachelor: A desirable potential boyfriend. AKA not Cole Kingston. Seventeen-year-old Madison (Madi) Matthews wants nothing to do with the dating competition her school is holding to raise money for charity. She's never been interested in chasing a guy before, and she certainly isn't interested in competing for one in front of the whole school. But, when Madi is voted as one of the 10 "lucky" contestants, she's given no choice but to vie for the heart of Lincoln High's most eligible bachelor. The problem is, they've chosen the wrong guy.

Publisher's Summary
Three's a crowd, but four's a war.
Big girl undies? Check. Speech planned? Check. Nerves of steel? Check. A single crush? Not check?
What do you do when you find your best friend/crush kissing your other best friend on the day you were going to declare your feelings for him? You only agree to fake date your crush's rival.
The King of the Bows, popular golden (play)boy, and all around douche, Xander wouldn't be my last choice for a boyfriend. Across the school, battlelines are drawn, and sides are taken between the new "it" couple of my former best friends and the excitingly scandalous pairing of me and King Douche.
Xander keeps distracting me from the plan: Make Jason jealous. He insists on holding my hand and kissing me and being nice. Ugh. Xander's not nice, and he's not the relationship type, but he's doing a damned good job of acting both parts. He calls it "keeping up appearances". I call it "take one more pass at my arse, and I'll break your nose".
They say all's fair in love and war, but what's so fair about falling for the wrong guy when your two best friends are on the other side of the battlelines?

I loved how Australian it was!
This story is full of very familiar tropes, but it was done well enough to keep me captivated. And I couldn’t help but be enchanted by the familiarity of the language, locations, and rhythms of school life—something I’m not used to as an Aussie who’s used to reading books set in the States. I was impressed by Shiromi’s voices and narration as well, especially given she isn’t Australian herself.
In terms of content, it was fairly clean in overall substance although a bit cruder in language than most of the teen romances I usually read. But while that doesn’t fit my personal preference (or how I talked as a teen) it felt pretty natural for an Australian setting and was much lighter than some of the adult romances I’ve read.
