It's hard to believe it's almost over.

After three years of living in the wildest apartment in the craziest neighborhood, the clock is ticking down.
College is ending.
My friends and I, known around Violent Circle as the Frat Hell Guys, have managed to make it to graduation without a major injury or arrest record. It was a close call.
My career path as a video game designer is laid out clearly before me, but I have one more objective to achieve before the school year is over; show the beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I’m in love with that she’s mine.
She just doesn’t know it yet.


**Violent Circle is a series of interconnected, standalone romances







I honestly don't know why I put off reading this book...maybe because it's the last in the series and I wasn't ready for it to end!? 

Honestly, the why doesn't really matter. The book was awesome. It had me laughing throughout the book. This author is definitely one of my all time favorites when it comes to rom coms. 

It's been a while since I've read the books from this series, so I didn't really remember Trey or Sasha that well, but I ended up really loving them. This is a stand alone book, but the first chapter does drop you into the aftermath of their one night stand. 

One of my favorite things is that they didn't let their hookup change their friendship. They carried on like normal...until things got heated again, leading to another hook up

I thought Trey and Sasha had great chemistry. I loved how they were there for each other even when they weren't together. It just showed the type of friendship that they had. 

there is one moment when both accept dates with other people...and under other circumstances, it might bother me, but with Sasha's "date" it was a platonic date to a wedding (although there was a kiss) but it didn't mean anything. And Trey's date...well, that was his attempt to move on from Sasha. In both cases, they were not a couple. Yes, they had hooked up multiple times, but it was stated more than once, they were NOT a couple. So I didn't blame Trey for trying to move on from Sasha. 

Another part I loved was Trey's success. His parents were awful (ok, his dad was awful) and I was really gad that Trey was able to make a success out of the games he was creating. 

Even though this was the end of the Violent Circle series, it's not going to be the end of the books about the Violent Circle. I'm looking forward to the future books about the new people moving into the neighborhood. 










Turning to Tina, she bites back a smile. “You can give me the booze, or they can go home,”I threaten. She snorts out a laugh and giggles ripple across the room. Now, I’m getting pissed. I took the chance letting her have this damn party and this is what I get. 
   
She walks across the room and reaches behind the couch, pulling out a bottle of schnapps, and another empty bottle. "This is all we have, I swear.”


“What the hell is so funny?”I ask, which just makes all of them laugh harder. 


Trey is checking the floor, making sure no stray slivers of glass were left behind, but he looks up at my question. His eyes widen. “Uh, Sasha. Let’s go back upstairs."


“What? No. What the fuck?”Rubbing his forehead, he steps over and whispers something in my ear that I barely catch the end of. Something about my shirt. I look down and the room erupts into laughter. 


There’s a condom stuck to the bottom hem of my shirt. I’m chewing out teenagers and repossessing their alcohol with a condom hanging off my shirt like a damn deflated cock. 


My face burns and I try to find words, but really, what do you say in that situation? Genius words leap out of my mouth as I pluck it off my shirt. “It’s not used!”


Yeah, that doesn’t help. Trey grabs my hand, chuckling as well, and pulls me up the stairs. I smack him on the chest as soon as we’re in the living room. “It’s the defective one you threw aside! This is your fault!”


He manages to get the words, "I’m sorry," out between gasps.    


“Stop laughing! It’s not funny! I just lectured a bunch of teenagers with a condom stuck to me like some back alley whore!”


My words aren’t helping, and he sits on the couch, holding his side and drawing in whooping breaths. Flopping down beside him, I take a drink out of the schnapps bottle I confiscated. “I hate you.”
  
 “Nah.” He puts an arm around me. “You just wish you did.”
