Didn't like the story at first. Felt it was shallow and would not catch my interest. I also couldn't comprehend how the heroine can be so straight forward about what happened to her in the past. I mean you can read about the rape in the first page of the book.

I don't usually go for college type romances but seeing the great reviews I gotta give it a go. Surprisingly I liked it at about 30% into the story. I liked the tough girl vibe of the heroine. I also liked the conceited hero.

The saving grace of the story is the great banter between the two main characters. It so was funny and witty.

And the emotions are flowing out of the hero as well. I really felt his pain. Sure the story was light enough, but it really did give my heart a pinch. On the two scenes when Hannah hurt him I really wanted to hug him.

Hannah is a great character as well, too strong for her own good I must say. But at least I started to like her as the story moved along.
