Womanizer--check.
Cocky--check.

Lets start off with a quote from the book that I just absolutely love
*Quote- "This wasn't something you just decided you were going to do. It was something that happened, and there was nothing in your power to stop it."
Can I just say that Hector grew up nice. Really nice.
I don't know how Elizabeth does it but every single one of her guys has been swooning in one way or another. Every. Single. One
Charlee is such a sweet girl. (She's kind of dirty too) and get this she is Elizabeth's first non Latina Heronie... I know shock right. But that of course is one of the many reasons she works well with Hector.
Hector is a total Alpha.
Hot. This book is hot and full of the emotion that you can come to expect from a Elizabeth Reyes book.
Hector and Charlee are on the college chess team. Instant attracted on both parts, working through their problems isn't as easy as falling in love.
Charlee has been hurt before. She is this sweet little red-head and is kind of quiet.
Hector is harboring a lot of guilt from high school. When he meets Walter, a guy he went to school with he tries to make up for what he didn't do in high school. Which was defend Walter against the bullies. Not just any bullies, guys Hector hung out with.
Now he wants to make up for it and stop feeling guilty for what he didn't do.
So Hector tries to be a good friend. But what do you do when your friend wants the girl that you are attracted to.
This is the problem that our Hector faces.
Hector begins to harbor a new kind of guilt. And this one hurts him worse than before.
This book has Steamy Scenes, Hot Alpha Males, and Lots of good-feels.
Charlee is a little dirty girl and of course we all know that a guy like Hector who wants Charlee to be his isn't going to deny her what she wants. ;)
When Charlee and Hector are together it is just good and right and I seriously have no idea how Elizabeth does it!
If you have read any of her books You know what I am talking about!! It is amazing writing with amazing characters and amazing story-lines and just AhMazing!
