Publisher's Summary

The bet was simple. You draw a name from the hat. That's the girl you have to seduce. The girl you have to make fall head over heels in love with you. It wasn't hard for him to do, in fact, it was something he did all the time. He was known for breaking hearts. Sex was just that, sex. And it didn't take him very long to get a woman on her back. 

And then he drew her name: Jules Peterson. His former best friend, first kiss, and first love. She shattered his heart into a million pieces three years ago. She left him right when he needed her most. She had entered his life once again, at almost the perfect time. She was a transfer, fresh meat, and she had just put a target on her back. It was his turn to make her pay and break her heart. 

Holding onto that hate, that anger, that f--king heartbreak - it does something to you. It breaks you, and it broke and tainted him, just like he would do to Jules. She used to be his everything, but now she was nothing but a bet.

Amazing!

This was an awesome audiobook! The grudge that Remington has seems quite petty and definitely not worth the grief he gives Jules. There is a definite trigger warning due to the dark bully themes in this, but if you are ok with that then I would definitely recommend this book. I was a little worried due to the bad reviews this book got but I decided to give it a try because I've always loved reading books by J.L. Beck and I am so glad I made that decision. The narration of this audiobook was also amazing with Teddy Hamilton and Ava Lucas portraying the characters perfectly. If this sounds like the book for you and you've read the blurb and think you will like it then this is a book I would definitely recommend for you. Enjoy!

DNF!!

This story was so frustrating. The H was a self important, misogynistic pig whose reasons for hating the h were ridiculous. The h was beyond pathetic, she's being sexually assaulted and was getting turned on by it, seriously!?
