Being forced to share my band's townhouse with a gorgeous third-year law student wouldn't be so terrible, but Mckenna Byrne is a pretentious, by-the-book know-it-all. Sadly, she's also the key to helping me save The Burnt Clovers.
My drum kit, my bandmates, and our arenas of fans mean everything to me. When a scandal jeopardizes The Burnt Clovers’ success, I’ll do whatever it takes to overhaul my image. Even fake date my reluctant roommate.
Sure, McKenna might despise me, but while she’s living under my roof, I’ll do anything to protect her.
Our arrangement is simple. I pay off McKenna’s tuition in exchange for her pretending to be my girlfriend to soften my bad boy, rockstar reputation.
But my wholesome, down-on-her-luck significant other is more than I bargained for. As days turn into weeks, mocking her dull sweaters, type-A personality traits, and boring social life morphs into a possessive need and a hot desire I can’t ignore.
When a threat from Mckenna’s past emerges, I’ll cross every line to keep her safe. Even if the outcome tears me apart.

Maverick and McKenna
We enjoyed this story immensely; it was filled with emotions and beautiful friendships. The previous books gave us a taste of what could happen between Mav and Kenny, aka McKenna. We loved all the sniping back and forth between the characters, the witty banter. We loved it as we found ourselves laughing and smiling throughout.
McKenna is a mess, running on fumes, life falling apart, but her bestie gives her a place to figure out her life and what comes next. The only downfall is that her arch-nemesis, Maverick, will be her roommate.
Maverick is your typical rockstar; some might think he's out of control and even a bit of a douche bag. There is more there than meets the eye when it comes to Mav. As we turn the pages, we get the feeling that he was running from something he hadn't dealt with in his past, which plays a part in his current behavior.
No matter what brought this couple to have a fake relationship, we hope it will move beyond that. As you keep turning the pages, you see these characters become vulnerable, start to care for one another, even fall for one another, but they are both stubborn and unsure of what is happening between them.
This story had its ups and downs, had you smiling and laughing, and touched your heart with the pain and loneliness that the characters felt. We saw the growth in Maverick's character, and a side of him that was generous, kind, loving, and fun.
We love seeing Mav and Kenny together; they make a beautiful couple, and we will root for them. More is in store for this couple, as this was only part of their story, as the book ended on a cliffhanger. What's in the future for this couple we do not know, but we see some rocky moments ahead, secrets coming to light, and we feel something will change McKenna's life. But Maverick has something to fight for now, and will do anything to protect the woman he has come to love.
