I am a big fan of Maya Hughes' "Kings of Rittenhouse" series and so I figured I should give this series a go as well. I have skipped the first book, but I am known for reading books out of order, so I will go back later and make things right again :P
I love a good "enemies to lovers" story and this one definitely delivered on that front. I also love me some hot jocks, so hot quarterback Nix, really did it for me :P
Elle didn't agree with me on that one though...well at least in the beginning she didn't. They have been enemies ever since she caught him with his pants down (literally). Their relationship is a volatile one.
That all changes when they are forced to work together on a project and really start to get to know each other better. Maybe she has been too quick to judge Nix....
These two were also quite different. Where Nix was easy going and relaxed, Elle had a more "work and no play" personality. She had no problem throwing her sass around and standing up for what she believed. I did have some small issues with her being so judgemental/insecure. I know she had her reasons, but at times it was a bit annoying for me.
I really enjoyed watching these two fall... The side-characters were pretty awesome as well and I can't wait to see what's next. That said... I better go back and start reading book 1 first ;)

He was all my mistakes wrapped up into one bright, shiny package.

“You’re the pros, Nix, and if I couldn’t handle my heart being broken back then, there is no way I’d be able to deal when things fell apart with you. It was a preemptive strike, but all I did was blow myself up. So that’s me being completely and totally honest. I love you.”
