They created the game but eighteen year old Nicholas Grayson mastered the rules.They are young and entitled and utterly bored with their lives, so they play games to entertain themselves. They call it the "bet" and new girl Ellie Holbrook is their latest target. Ellie is not the kind of girl Nicholas dates, but she is pretty enough to be his next conquest and so he sets out to seduce her and claim a nice little prize at the end. But her seduction proves difficult when she openly rejects his advances. In his dogged pursuit of her he slowly finds himself in her small circle of trusted friends and meets her two year old daughter, Sophie.Life takes a startling turn for Nicholas when he realizes his happiness now lies with the young mother and her daughter. Falling in love with Ellie isn't something Nicholas ever thought could happen to him and he's completely frightened at how fiercely she makes him feel. But before he can further examine those emotions and clearly process them, enemies from Nicholas's personal circle of friends conspire to tear them apart and he must now decide whether their love is worth saving or allow his friends to take away the greatest thing that's ever happened to him.… (mehr)

4.5 stars

I am not sure why I hadn't ever read this book, but I am disappointed that I hadn't until now. This is another one of those books that is universal, yet so unique that you cannot help but to just love it!

Nicholas. He is rich and entitled and uses woman like they are disposable diapers. The end game is to get off and move on. And he isn't nice about it at all.

Ellie. Single mom. Home-schooled, but now entering high school for her senior year. She has a shaky past at a young age. She wants to experience life as a real teenager. What she is about to get is nothing she could ever have imagined!

As you probably would guess, Nicholas begins to fall for her. But it doesn't end there. Between Ellie's situation with having a kid, Nicolas's "game" haunting him and people from the outside trying to sweep in and ruin what they are building.

This book is so freaking good, that I couldn't put it down. I wasn't ready for it to end. I am definitely going to be finishing this series. ( )

I loved the blurb, it's different.
However, I instantly disliked just about everyone in the book, plus the writing is kind of amateurish, all the head hopping made me dizzy. In the end I gave up, skimmed a couple of chapters, blah.

Uh, really?

This should be named "How many teenagers can get knocked up in one book".

I read through this one fairly quickly and even though I was warned about the editing errors, that warning didn't prepare me for what I found.

This read like a rough draft: grammar errors, spelling errors and so on. Please, please, please edit this book!!

Let's start with the narrating... Quite a few times I questioned my intelligence because I was lost as to what was happening, why it was happening and what person was telling it. Coupled with the terrible editing there were many places when it wasn't clear anymore about whom the narrator was talking. - or maybe I do suffer from a low IQ after all.

The characters, ah well. I cold quite easily rename them all from stupid 1 to stupid 10. Because that's all I felt for these characters. Whores, drug addicts, backstabbers and even a psychic (right there I seriously lost my shit, luckily it was towards the end of the book).

So despite all the mistakes and errors, I read through it very quickly, some places had me even curious but I also might've caught brain damage from rolling my eyes to hard and I definitely won't be reading the second installment.

Read this at your own risk. ( )
