BLURB
“How long do you last in bed?” Those were her first words to me, swiftly followed up with, “And how big would you say you are?”
Cue the record scratching, what?!
Persephone Alexander. Math genius. Lover of blazers. The only girl I know who can make Heidi braids look sexy as hell. And she’s on a mission. Lose her virginity by the end of the semester.
I walked in on her interview session for potential candidates (who even does that?) and saw straight through her brave front. She’s got a list of Firsts to accomplish like she’s only got months to live. I’ve decided to be her guide for all her firsts except one. Someone’s got to keep her out of trouble. I have one rule, no sex. We even shook on it.
I’ll help her find the right guy for the job. Someone like her doesn’t need someone like me and my massive...baggage for her first time.
Drinking at a bar. Check.
Partying all night. Double check.
Skinny dipping. Triple check.
She’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met. The walls I’d put up around my heart are slowly crumbling with each touch that sets fire to my soul.
I’m the first to bend the rules. One electrifying kiss changes everything and suddenly I don’t want to be her first, I want to be her only. But her plan was written before I came onto the scene and now I’m determined to get her to re-write her future with me.
MY OPINION
Fun and pretty new adult romance. It's packed full of little dares, a sock war, adorable camaraderie, a sweet couple and a first love that makes any girl envious.
The tile plays with Persephone's bucket list of first experiences that she tackles with the ferocity of an inmate sentenced to death. The first two chapters are dedicated to introducing the characters' current situations. I got bored with Reece's life as it is all about sport and friends, but I liked Seph's claustrophobic state of mind that prompted her to post the infamous ad in search of perfect first experiences.
He's a football player trying to go pro and she's over-the-top smart. Opposites attract and combust in this very cute romance. I really liked the interview she conducts to find a potential candidate with very inaproppriate questions. The way she meets Reece has serendipity written all over it. I enjoyed the fun, endearing and slow-burn motion of them falling in love. There are some delicious intimate scenes mixed with romantic dates.
Another important aspect is the issues they both have with their families. He learns about his father's hidden truth and she finds the inner strength to free herself from a dominating and crushing influence. They grow and mature, and the ending if full of swoons and laughs. I think there was a lot of scenes involving the Fulton University boys because this book is the stage for their oncoming stories ;-)

ABOUT THE MASTERMIND
Maya Hughes can often be found sneaking in another chapter while hiding in the bathroom from her kids! :-) I’m a romance writer who loves taking inspiration from everyday life, namely my husband and biggest fan. Inspiration also strikes when I hear a song, meet someone new or daydream while at soccer practice.
I’m the mom of three little ones, the wife to an amazing husband and also work full time. Some of my favorite things are cinnamon rolls, white wine, laughing until I can’t breathe and traveling with my family.

Good luck 😀
