With his eligibility is at risk, the university chancellor dangles an expensive piece of computer software for the math department if Scarlett agrees to privately tutor him.Tucker’s bad boy, womanizer reputation makes Scarlett wary of any contact, let alone spending several hours a week in close proximity.
But from her first encounter, she realizes Tucker isn’t the person everyone else sees. He carries a mountain of secrets which she suspects hold the reason to his self-destructive behavior. But the deeper she delves into the cause of his pain, the deeper she gets sucked into his chaos. Will Scarlett find the happiness she’s looking for, or will she be caught in Tucker’s aftermath?

My Review
Scarlet and Tucker had a pretty terrible childhood, and the effects carried over to their adult life. The two broken people found each other, but could they be whole?
I liked this book okay, it wasn't a super original storyline, but it had every component I could want in a NA novel. It was very addicting, angsty and hawt! I liked the setting and cover. I also liked that the characters were seriously flawed. Not just a little panicky or a little addicted to alcohol, they were effed! Tucker was a hottie, and I really liked how he and Scarlett meshed well. I would give this a solid 4 stars, but I was a bit put off by the lead character. I understand anxiety, believe me I do, but every time you turn around Scarlett is crying. There are really only a few scenes that warrant this emotion, yet she cries, and cries. Overall, it was a quick-angsty college read, I would recommend to any NA fan!

Looking forward to reading this, fab review.
I'd really like to read this. I've only read one of Denise's books, a paranormal read. So I'm looking forward to see how I feel about her more Adult novels. Great review!
