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.
Balls to the wall, baby!
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.

My Review:
Fast and Easy reading this
book was. Really fast. In a way it felt like I was on a
marathon without volunteering for it.
The writing itself was fine enough. I did get curious with the love story and I did like the
main characters. But for the
most part I felt like it could have been better had it been longer with more
depth to it. It seriously lacked
relationship development and the whole book is one big cliché. I really felt like the writer was
rushing through telling the entire story.
A mad dash to the end.
The story is simple and have
been done lots of times. Best
friends fall in love, best friends have sex, best friends have an accident and
then some. Devyn is funny in her
innocence. She is beautiful but
with a bit of baggage while Riley is just overwhelmingly hot and stupid.... not
stupid the intellectual kind but he was emotionally constipated and hard to
read. Oh so typical right?
So they get it on after
being best friends for 5 years.
Then the very next day Riley disappears and leaves her on her own. Another 5 years later Riley decides the
time is finally right to get back with his one true love Devyn (say what?!?) only to find out that she
is not just unavailable having a new boyfriend and all, but she also has an
extra baggage that looks exactly like Riley, dimples and all! Oh the dilemma!
But like I said, this was an
easy read for me. Not too much
drama. No tears. No heartbreak (for me that is). No anger (for Riley’s stupidity).
Nothing. Just clean reading, all
zoned out and relaxed for a couple of hours. I say relaxed but be warned, there is very graphic sex here,
though not the Fifty shades kind.
So if you’re looking for a
book you can find some excitement in and finish really fast with every single
thing being predictable, then pick this up.
