People save their strong opinions for women. Why don’t they look at men? If I have to read another book or see another movie about a woman being courageous, I’ll throw up.
Summer Skin

Summary: Jess Gordon is out for revenge. Last year the jocks from Knights College tried to shame her best friend. This year she and a hand-picked college girl gang are going to get even.
The lesson: don't mess with Unity girls.
The target: Blondie, a typical Knights stud, arrogant, cold . . . and smart enough to keep up with Jess.
A neo-riot grrl with a penchant for fanning the flames meets a rugby-playing sexist pig - sworn enemies or two people who happen to find each other when they're at their most vulnerable?
It's all Girl meets Boy, Girl steals from Boy, seduces Boy, ties Boy to a chair and burns Boy's stuff. Just your typical love story.
My Review: Delightfully feminist, this romance is one of my favorites that I've read in a long time. I think because I've yet to find anything else like it. I don't know how else to describe it besides: you'll never read a college romance like this one, and that's a good thing. I do wonder how it will age, but right now? In 2022, this is a great one to pick up if you're looking for a romance read that goes against the grain.
Recommended Age: Adult (language, sexual situations)
