| The Ivy Years Book 4 |
The girl who’s had everyone meets the boy who has no one.
For Bella, the sweet-talking, free-loving, hip-checking student manager of the Harkness men’s hockey team, sex is a second language. She’s used to being fluent where others stutter, and the things people say behind her back don’t (often) bother her. So she can’t understand why her smoking hot downstairs neighbor has so much trouble staying friends after their spontaneous night together. She knows better than to worry about it, but there’s something in those espresso eyes that makes her second guess herself.
Rafe is appalled with himself for losing his virginity in a drunken hookup. His strict Catholic upbringing always emphasized loving thy neighbor—but not with a bottle of wine and a box of condoms. The result is an Ivy League bout of awkwardness. But when Bella is leveled by a little bad luck and a downright sinister fraternity stunt, it’s Rafe who is there to pick up the pieces.
Bella doesn’t want Rafe's help, and she’s through with men. Too bad the undeniable spark that crackles between the two of them just can't be extinguished.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Book 4 and this series just gets better! It's Bella's turn and boy this story was pretty insane. Bella has never been shy of hook ups. The last time she thought a relationship was possible it ended up blowing up in her face. To guard her heart, she avoids a relationship. But too bad for her (or not really), it is hard to avoid Rafe. Possibly the sweetest guy at Harkness who is crazy for Bella whether he admits it or not. What starts off as an awkward hook up later becomes a genuine friendship after caring for Bella at a time when she needed a friend the most. Bella ends up with a horrible encounter with one of the frats. Humiliated in a way she never has been before, she hides herself from everyone. But Rafe won't let her hide for long. Not his Bella, who is always fearless. He coaxes her back to life. And though it takes a while, Bella starts to realize that Rafe is different from the boys before and that maybe a relationship wouldn't be so scary with him. Really loved this book. Just an overall great addition to the series.
