Young Adult author Aiko Bradley wants some worldly experience and who better to teach her than the worldliest of men-Maximilian Croft?
From his daredevil stunts to his decadent affairs, Max is everything a perfect heartbreaker should be-one that Aiko might enjoy but will never fall for.
Dainty innocents aren't Max's cup of tea-even those with a tart tongue and scalding honesty. Involving Aiko in his life will break more than just her heart but can he walk away before his own shatters?
They'll play games and make no promises but when dangers outside of their stubborn hearts threaten the fleeting, will they find the courage to fight for forever?
Author of Virtue and Vice and The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield
I started writing when I didn't like the way some of my Sweet Valley books ended. I rewrote them. Before I knew it, I was writing my own stories, handing them out to my friends in class. They were written on spiral notebooks with a sturdy pencil. I still have most of them to this day.
While I enjoy many books, I write romance. Currently, I'm writing New Adult romance. I write highly-opinionated but often innocent heroines who face off infuriating but irresistible alpha males. They might be sometimes sprinkled with a touch of a fairy tale.
Actual rating: 7.75/10 I love her work and her playlist. This one book seemed so real..initially atleast. Too close to reality to be honest. I was able to connect with Aiko at a personal and professional level...God. The quotes from TMIOMS <3 Characterisation and where they come from was so perfect. This one started as a guilty pleasure, but it did become one of fav contemporary romance. The plot was good and new. The tongue in cheek dialogues, which make me pick up her work, great as always. The setting too had me craving for a holiday by the beach and waiting for summer ever more now. But the best part was how relatable it felt and surreal at the same time, if it makes sense at all. It so well managed to capture the struggles of today's relationship in some way or the other. I love these stories with a strong protagonist who has a brain and a mouth as fast as she's pretty. Clichéd but their romances are more interesting and worth it, it seems.
