Sometimes when perfect falls apart, a little trouble fixes everything . . .Twenty-one-year-old Kayla Turner has lost everything. After spending most of her life taking care of her ailing mother, she just wants to spot a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. So when her late father-a man she barely knew-leaves her an inheritance, she finally breathes a sigh of relief . . . until she learns the inheritance comes with strings. Strings in the form of handsome playboy Daren Ackwood, her father's protégé. To see any of her inheritance, she's forced to team up with him. From his expensive car to those sexy dimples, Kayla's seen his type before. But Daren isn't who he seems to be . . .Struggling to make amends for his family's mistakes, Daren has a life more Oliver Twist than Richie Rich these days. He's beyond grateful that James Turner included him in his will, but working with Turner's princess of a daughter to fulfill his cryptic last wish is making Daren wonder if being broke is really so bad. Still, she's just as beautiful as she is stubborn, and the more time he spends with Kayla, the less it feels right being without her. Soon Daren and Kayla begin to wonder if maybe the best gift Kayla's dad could have left them . . . was each other.Buy Links:

The Archers of Avalon is one of my favorite YA series and
it’s totally underrated. I love her NA books equally as much!
Kayla had a rough childhood, being torn from her dad and
thinking she wasn’t good enough her whole life. Her mother was terrible but she persevered. I liked her a lot. She was strong but vulnerable and really sweet. Her inner monologue was so hilarious and I was cracking up the whole time.
Daren – such a great guy. He acted like this manwhore who
didn’t care about anything going on but it was just the opposite. He was really
caring even though he had a tough time growing up just like Kayla. He was also super hot. :)
The plot was just so funny and entertaining; being
handcuffed to another person for a scavenger hunt. I laughed the whole time but
there were also some really sentimental scenes and I found myself tearing up a
bit. I loved the distinct dual POV writing. The romance was cute. They were
clearly attracted to each other but they both had the wrong impression of each
other to being with. But it all ended up well.
Jenna’s book is next and she’s a firecracker so I can’t
wait!
