Oh goodness. Where do I begin with this book? What a freaking rollercoaster! I adored the dynamic between Jane and Eric so much that I couldn’t help but keep turning the page to see how it would volley back-and-forth.

Jane is at a vulnerable point in her life, and Eric has just been handed an ultimatum from his very powerful grandmother. The only choice they have is to help each other out with the cards life has recently dealt them and with that comes re-hashing of their past that ran sizzling hot before turning ice cold.

They’re from two very different worlds. Eric is an old surname from beyond old money and has only known privilege up until he decided to break away from his family’s traditions.

Jane is a gritty, creative, unique, strong-minded woman who worked exceedingly hard to become a lawyer. Then she found herself without a job, without a boyfriend, in debt, and looking for that next chapter.

What began as a business arrangement to save the wealth and reputation of his family, Eric and Jane agree to marry based on his grandmother’s terms. The road leading to the wedding is what brings them back together as something more.

They shared a brief affair and now that they’re forced back together for this arrangement, Jane swears she won’t go down such a path with Eric again, that they will keep their entanglement professional until the deal is done.

Problem is, they can’t seem to stay away from one another. Old wounds are opened, and together, the two try to mend old, broken hearts. Their chemistry and passion is fierce, and once they cross the line into something more for round two, all bets are off. The rich, khaki-and-polo-shirt wearing blonde playboy and the edgy, loud, pink-haired, punk-rock lawyer are from opposite ends of the class spectrum, have insanely strong personalities, and dominate for control in their own ways.

The rollercoaster begins. Feelings are intense, secrets are revealed, teasing and hazing ensues, and it all comes to a shocking head that results in a cliffhanger that has me anxiously awaiting its sequel. These two drove me insane with their antics, but I’m a glutton for punishment, so I need to know what happens next!

Jane and Eric love to hate and hate to love, so if you haven’t already, you should go meet them right now in Quicksilver series #1, The Hate Vow.
