Her: If there’s a pic of your dick on that collage, I’m photocopying it and passing it around in the student center.
Me: Bad idea. You’ll give all the other dudes an inferiority complex.
Her: Or an ego boost.
He’s a player in more ways than one…
College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he’ll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he’s worth a second chance.
Now he’s going to need to up his game…
After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She’s not a charity case, and she’s not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think again. He wants her back? He’ll have to work for it. This time around, she’ll be the one in the driver’s seat…and she plans on driving him wild.
Summary from Goodreads
I've been disappointed with the few books that I've been looking forward to be released for months so I was worried if I'll react the same with The Mistake. The Deal already set the bar so high for this series so I wondered how Elle Kennedy will be able to create a book better than the first one (which I still have to review lol) or anything just as good.
This woman never fails to impress. No, seriously.
If you read The Deal—if you haven't, then what are you still doing here? Go to read it!—then you'll know that Logan had a thing for Hannah, Garrett's girlfriend. He tries to move on, met Grace and wants to use her to move on from his feelings with Hannah at first but later on starts liking Grace. Grace finds out Garrett's initial intentions and got angry. Not only does he refuse to sleep with her because she is a virgin but he only uses her to move on. Logan, with the help of Hannah, realizes that he doesn't want Hannah but rather what she and Garrett has. Realizing he fucked up, Logan does his best to win back Grace but she doesn't have any intention in making things easy for him.
I suck at summaries, that much has been established. But whatevs.
I really loved how Grace made Logan work so hard for a second chance. Had it been another heroine, a few apologetic words and heart-to-heart talk would suffice to them. But Grace? Oh, no. She made Logan do six romantic gestures which included writing a poem, a celebrity endorsement, and a boudoir shot of him on a red velvet chaise lounge. I also appreciated Logan's determination. You'd think that he'd balk at the prospect of the gestures but he did his best in proving to Grace that he really wanted a second chance with her. Even if what he did to her was a very asshole thing to do, he redeemed himself with his sincerity on wanting to have a second chance on her.
Logan and Grace were just funny and adorable together that when they were together, I found myself smiling so fondly and giggling like a schoolgirl at them. Their chemistry was, like Garrett and Logan, scorching.
Yet somehow Logan and Grace were similar to Garrett and Hannah in terms of personality. That was the one thing that I didn't really like.
I'm curious on how Elle would take on Dean the savior since it'll be his turn on the next book. I'm just hoping he wouldn't end being similar to Logan and Garrett. (Though I'm pretty sure he won't be. He's such a manwhore.)
