Review:

This was a great book! I loved the feel and how domestic violence was talked about openly. The way she stood up for herself at the end was terrific. I think it shows the rawness of getting out of an abusive relationship and the feeling that went into her story. Jake (the love interest) was a fantastic person who also had his own flaws but pushed through. The way they met was a little strange because it felt like she was escaping from something. It was slightly weird that her nickname was Nay because I kept on thinking the people were talking in Scottish accents or old English. I kept on cracking up about that. I love how cute this book was!

Trigger Warnings:

Synopsis From Book:

One daring to-do list and a crash course in flirtation turn a Type A overachiever’s world upside down. When her flailing department lands on the university's chopping block, Professor Naya Turner’s friends convince her to shed her frumpy cardigan for an evening on the town. For one night her focus will stray from her demanding job and she’ll tackle a new kind of to-do list. When she meets a charming stranger in town on business, he presents the perfect opportunity to check off the items on her list. Let the guy buy her a drink. Check. Try something new. Check. A no-strings-attached hookup. Check…almost. Jake makes her laugh and challenges Naya to rebuild her confidence, which was left toppled by her abusive ex-boyfriend. Soon she’s flirting with the chance at a more serious romantic relationship—except nothing can be that easy. The complicated strings around her dating Jake might destroy her career. Naya has two options. She can protect her professional reputation and return to her old life or she can flirt with the unknown and stay with the person who makes her feel like she's finally living again.
