Re•sent•ment (noun)
The act of hating – no, fucking loathing Dean Collins. (Yes, I’m well aware that’s not the actual definition, but it might as well be...)
It’s been ten years since we've seen each other and the feelings are still as strong.
I’m not going to bore you with all the details of how our love was once intoxicating, consuming, and perfect.
Because it was . . . until it wasn't.
I've been fine without him. I haven’t missed his cruelty, his coldness and his spite.
And after the ugliest breakup in the history of breakups, I forced myself to move on.
Year by year, the feelings I had for him slowly drifted away, but one encounter with him recently changed everything. One encounter made me realize how the heart doesn't forget shit, and how my mind is going to have to work overtime to make sure I never forget my definition of resentment.

Excerpt
“Are you coming to the pep rally tonight?” he asks.
“Probably not.”
“Why?”
“School spirit isn’t really my thing. No offense, but…football isn’t either.”
He laughs, and I suddenly realize that the two of us have never talked about football during our sessions together. In fact, whenever I’ve brought it up, he’s changed the subject to something else.
“Well,” he says, letting my hand go. “You should come for me instead.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“I mean, since you’re not into school spirit or football, but you’re clearly into me, you can make an exception and come tonight.”
“You’re getting quite presumptuous lately.” I put on my best poker face. “Do I need to help you with that definition?”
“Not when I know the true word you’re looking for is cognizant.” He grins, stepping back. “I hope to see you tonight.”
“I’ll think about it.”
“I’m sure you always do.” He gives me a look so sexy that I almost melt into the floor.
“Probably not.”
“Why?”
“School spirit isn’t really my thing. No offense, but…football isn’t either.”

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW
“Dean grabs my hips and helps me. He leans down and looks at me, pressing his hand against my forehead once more, and I’m not sure what comes over me, but I press my forehead against his and kiss him. Thoroughly.”
4 resentful stars!! This book was a good read, the story flowed well and the characters were exciting to read. Great book!
Dean is the popular guy in school and the football star and Mia hates him, I mean loathes the guy!! She’s not popular and has one friend. She gives Dean no chances to talk to her because he’s not her scene, that is until she misplaces her notebook and Dean returns it to her. While chatting Dean mentions he needs and English tutor and Mia agrees to help him. During this time, they start to realize they have feelings for each other. But like all high school couples they break up and end up hating each other. They end up reconnecting ten years later when Mia quits her job and moves to another state. Little does she know that state also has her ex in it and she can’t avoid him. One night they share a passionate kiss, which leads to more. After their night of passion they start to discuss what happened to them in high school and why they broke up. The book only goes up from there.
This book was a good book and I loved the characters. While the reason for their break up was a little ridiculous, it didn’t ruin the book for me. It’s definitely worth the read!!
