BOOK REVIEW- DEAL BREAKERS

BOOK REVIEW- DEAL BREAKERS-How were they supposed to know that one night would change everything? Devyn has life all mapped out. She just needs to accomplish one more thing before graduating college and becoming a full-fledged adult—lose her virginity. And who better to assist her than her best friend, Riley?
Riley is the self-proclaimed king of fling. His college years have been filled with meaningless hookups until the one night that ruined him for all other women. The one night he spends with his best friend, Devyn. Right before he screws it all up.  Now five years later, Riley is determined to atone for his mistakes and prove that he can be the man that Devyn deserves. Little does he know that Devyn’s been keeping a secret from him all these years. A big secret. Now he has to figure out how to win back the only girl he’s ever loved while navigating the pitfalls of her unexpected revelation.  Deal Breakers is filled with lots of laughs, a sexy romance, and an overflowing swear jar.  AMAZON

Yep, Riley has a lot of growing up to do but circumstances also got in the way between him and Devyn.   They basically took a great, longstanding friendship and blew it up after sleeping together.  He was definitely a man whore and like a coward just ran after that night.  That saying of, "will you respect me in the morning?"  came with a resounding, "NO!" when I read what he did.   It was fairly easy to guess what surprise was waiting for him when he saw Devyn again.   Of course the how of his finding out was something that I had to wait for as the story unfolded.  Also there was also another problem for Riley when it comes to getting Devyn back- she has a boyfriend whose been around for over 2 years.  And the boyfriend has no plans of going quietly into the night and leaving the field to Riley.   Just to let you know there will be plenty of swearing  (they weren't kidding about the swearing jar), lots of sex too.  This story might not be for everyone because of that.  There will also be a HEA and no cliffhangers, thank you very much.

I just wanted to add something funny that a friend of Devyn's said, "Oh, honey, please don't cry.  I don't know what to do with tears.  I grew up with five brothers, there was no crying on Testosterone Island".  You have to admit that was funny.  Sorry but I took out the F word.
I also liked the words of the tattoo Devyn had: "Love deeper and laugh harder and you ever thought possible.   Never settle for anything less."  Good words to live by.
