The hate to love between Crosby and Brooke was strong. Yes he was trying to keep his distance from her, and being an ass made it so she couldn't like him. Not to mention that Crosby is roommates (and teammates) with her jerk of an ex.
As the story developed though, you could see the true Crosby starting to make an appearance. He dropped the mask, and really started to show Brooke who he is. I loved that.
The only thing in the story that I didn't care for was Brooke's mom. I didn't truly understand the dynamic there. I needed more backstory there to fully grasp the situation.
The moment of conflict pulled me in. I have fallen for these two characters, and was rooting for them the entire time. These two may have started off as enemies, but friendship was formed, and then ultimately a happily ever after occurred. I still want to smack Brooke's ex. That freaking man-child had me so angry. Crosby was there to soothe the pain that his "buddy" caused.

And who knows, he might just be one. There’s certainly no shortage of girls on campus who agree with the sentiment. They swoon over his pretty face, dark messy hair, and hard body honed from years of lifting and two-a-day practices. That alone makes him catnip for the female species.
Add a lip ring and surly disposition to the package and you can understand what all the fuss is about.
Would I be included in that majority?
Hell, no.
As far as I’m concerned, Crosby can eat shit and die. The guy is a major jerk. Not to mention, a pain in my assets. And that’s putting it nicely. For reasons I’ve never understood, he goes out of his way to humiliate and hurt me. His barbed comments are always a direct hit before exploding on impact.
I’d love to know what I did to elicit such hatred but that would involve conversing with him and I refuse to do that. There’s only one more semester before graduation. Surely, we can get through the next six months without coming to blows.
That’s the hope, anyway.
Which is exactly why I’m thrown off guard when my nemesis pulls me aside and suggests a truce. Do I necessarily trust him after everything he’s put me through?
Nope. For the time being, I’ll agree so there can once again be peace in the kingdom all the while keeping him at a firm distance. Except that turns out to be impossible. Everywhere I go, there he is. It’s like I can’t get away from him. More shocking than that, he’s actually being nice.
If stomping out the underlying attraction that constantly flared to life between us was difficult before, it’s all but impossible now. But that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I’ve been burned by one athlete, I’ll be damned if I allow it to happen again.
