The Con

by Nicole Marsh

I agreed to a shady deal with my neighbor because I was absolutely desperate. It was a bargain connived to change my trajectory in life and provide me with an opportunity to make something of myself. I broke the whole idea down into five easy steps…

Step one: Get close to Collin Franzen.
Step two: Snoop through his parent’s house and find where they keep their valuables.
Step three: Report back to Derek, my criminally-inclined neighbor.
Step four: Split the proceeds after he robs the place.
Step five: Graduate high school and skip town.

An easy way to make some guilt-free money. Like a modern-day Robin Hood, right?
Wrong.
Oh, so very wrong.

I forgot to account for unforeseen variables that would almost immediately create an extra step in my plan. Like…
Step one-point-five: Fall in love with Collin Franzen; the golden-boy quarterback with the gem-colored eyes, a quick wit, and a huge heart.

The Con that was supposed to go off without a hitch has become more complicated than I expected.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story! It was unique, entertaining, sweet, steamy, and just angsty enough to keep my angst-loving heart satisfied. McKenzie was a great character and I loved her. She’s smart, fierce, beautiful, bold, and full of perseverance. Collin was a dream to read. The consummate southern gentleman, so sweet, caring, strong, and thoughtful. Not to mention wicked hot and fiercely protective (yes please!). I read this in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down, I loved it that much. 5/5 stars and I’d give it more if I could!

This book is way better than the cover jacket lets on! I loved it. The characters were comprehensive and deep and well thought out. The circumstances and storyline were golden. It was a great read set in high school. There were a couple steamy scenes.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
