Pretty Smart Girls, Book 1

Synopsis: Team Ryan
Ryan Rose and her fellow Spartans are finalists in a high-profile entrepreneurial competition. They’re competing for life-changing money and for their futures. They have a solid plan to win. All they need to do is trounce the competition: rich frat boys from an archrival university. Easy, right?

Team Jett
Jett Trebuchet’s first mistake was not realizing that Ryan and her friends were the competition. His second was expressing his unabashed confidence in his team’s ability to win. After all, everyone knows the only thing MSU does better than U of M is produce beautiful, easy women…oh, and he almost forgot to say “dumb.” And boy, does his team pay for that one.

Game On
As each side tries to game the other, something else seems to be getting in the way—attraction. Now Ryan and Jett must keep their teams from getting distracted by the opposite sex…and each other. All is not fair in love and war when it comes to winning this game.

Review: Team Ryan, 3 girls, must face team Jett, 3 boys, during a competition in New York. The stakes are high because the gain is a job for each member of the winning team as well as money. Their first meeting in the car that leads them to the airport is very funny and I was completely for the girls at this time. The discovery of the boys during my reading made me appreciate them much more.

Ryan and Jett, the leaders of their respective teams, are attracted to each other very quickly. They clash with blow of challenges and jokes, and, a nice romance begins between them. Each boy is attracted to a girl from the opposing team and this week of competition will allow them to discover each other a little more. We discover Devi and Ben who will be highlighted in Fearless, that I will read right away 🙂

This is a beautiful romance that I would see very well in TV shows. There’s action, humor, twists, love…

    I’m so picturing a reality show where it starts off as a competition, but then goes the romance route. Glad that you enjoyed this!

    Oh I like the sound of this one Cass! Sounds like we get an antagonistic romance in the beginning and those are my very favorite kind:)
