Blurb
Re•sent•ment (noun)
The act of hating – no, fucking loathing Dean Collins. (Yes, I’m well aware that’s not the actual definition, but it might as well be...)
It’s been ten years since we've seen each other and the feelings are still as strong.
I’m not going to bore you with all the details of how our love was once intoxicating, consuming, and perfect.
Because it was . . . until it wasn't.
I've been fine without him. I haven’t missed his cruelty, his coldness and his spite.
And after the ugliest breakup in the history of breakups, I forced myself to move on.
Year by year, the feelings I had for him slowly drifted away, but one encounter with him recently changed everything. One encounter made me realize how the heart doesn't forget shit, and how my mind is going to have to work overtime to make sure I never forget my definition of resentment.
I was very excited to read Nicole London's debut book. The blurb had all the ingredients I like in a contemporary romance. So when I finally got it, I jumped in and didn't stop. Stayed up till midnight.
This was such a good book. I liked the way it was constructed. It consists of three parts.
Regret, Resentment and Redemption.
The first part is a prologue and
the remaining two occur in the present time.
I loved the two characters, Mia and Dean. Even as their relationship slowly breaks apart.
Their story together and separate was strong and they worked flawlessly.
The fun starts when they meet each other ten years later.
Wow! Talk about tension and buckets of heat!
I loved it and was just waiting for one of them to make the first move.
Cause it would be blazing hot!
And trust me it was!
Man, I kept reading the scene over and over again.
But nothing is as easy as it seems and hurt feelings lie beneath the surface. I really wanted Mia and Dean to work things out and put their hurt egos aside, but they are two stubborn people with much history together, so it takes a lot of time and work. But I enjoyed and devoured every page and the conclusion is everything
I could have wished for.
I couldn't be more pleased.
This was one hell of a debut from Nicole London. I like a little sex in my stories and let me tell you all. She knows how, when necessary, to create a hot scene filled with tension and a lot of heat. The characters are interesting, layered with a story to tell. Not just the leading but also the secondary ones.
I'm now a fan of Nicole London and eagerly waiting for her next book.

Excerpt
“Are you coming to the pep rally tonight?” he asks.
“Probably not.”
“Why?”
“School spirit isn’t really my thing. No offense, but…football isn’t either.”
He laughs, and I suddenly realize that the two of us have never talked about football during our sessions together. In fact, whenever I’ve brought it up, he’s changed the subject to something else.
“Well,” he says, letting my hand go. “You should come for me instead.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“I mean, since you’re not into school spirit or football, but you’re clearly into me, you can make an exception and come tonight.”
“You’re getting quite presumptuous lately.” I put on my best poker face. “Do I need to help you with that definition?”
“Not when I know the true word you’re looking for is cognizant.” He grins, stepping back. “I hope to see you tonight.”
“I’ll think about it.”
“I’m sure you always do.” He gives me a look so sexy that I almost melt into the floor.
“Probably not.”

Goddamn, Dean Collins…
