Ever since the one time Andie Weber threw caution to the wind - and paid the price for it - she’s learned that it’s safer and smarter to live life playing by the rules. Now she’s got a great apartment, a steady job, and a wonderful boyfriend in Colin; he’s sweet, stable, and essentially perfect – except maybe for the fact that his best friend is Chase.
Chase McGuire lives his carefree, unstructured life strictly for himself. Dripping sarcasm and oozing wit, he refuses to censor his feelings or opinions for anyone, making no apologies for either and wearing his abrasiveness like a badge of honour. No one has ever gotten under Andie’s skin the way Chase does – and vice versa.
So when Andie and Chase find themselves forced to take a two-day road trip together, they are already dreading an inevitable all-out war. But as the trip progresses, and the undeniable friction that has always defined their relationship slowly begins to wear away their preconceived notions of each other, Andie and Chase discover they both have a lot to learn about life, courage, happiness, and the age-old battle between logic and love.

Review
***I received this book as part of a blog tour for my honest review***
Andie is safe. She is working a safe job, she has a safe relationship with a man who has his head on his shoulders. She is totally uncomfortable with breaking the rules, doing anything spontaneous. She feels choosing her brain over her heart's desire is the smart thing to do.
Chase is so far from safe it isn't funny. He is a risk taker, he does what he pleases, he lives life for himself and no one else. Opposites attract is the name of this game, as Chase teaches Andie how to live and love without holding back. Along the way hard choices have to be made, do you do the "right" thing or the right thing for you.
I really enjoyed this book. We get into the head of two really interesting characters, both with pasts that have made them who they are today. I felt they were relatable, and therefore felt that I was with them every step of the way. I was there through Andie's self discovery, through Chases battle over love and loyalty. Both characters had tough choices to make. Usually I cannot stand a book that has cheating in it, but let me just assure you that although the tension between the couple was there, everything was handled tastefully. Although, I did feel sad for Colin, in the end everything I felt was for the best.

This was really a sweet adventure through self discovery, life and romance. I couldn't put it down once I had started it, the storyline was that addictive. This is the first book I have read by this author, but I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more. Several pleasant hours were spent devouring this one, so check it out.
