Aderyn
Resident playboy, Samson Morgan, thinks he can beat me at my own game.
The hockey captain truly believes he can stop playing the field for longer than I can start having one-night stands.
Okay, sure, historically I'm known for being an all-in, ask-to-be-your-girlfriend-on-the-first-date romantic. But being a player isn't that hard. And I came to Mendell University to win. Whether that's on the ice or off.
Morgan doesn't realize it yet but he's finally met an opponent who can take him down.

Sam
My bet with the women's hockey team captain feels like an easy win.
Three months pretending to be a one-woman kind of man? Easy...scary easy, actually.
Somewhere along the line, I start taking my role too seriously.
This semester isn't the time for me to get distracted from my main goal - ensuring my team gets a fair shot this season.
But Aderyn Jacobs consistently makes me rethink everything I've ever wanted. I'm in danger of losing something far bigger than our bet.
I wanted to like this so much. I LOVED Sunny Disposition. Finn and Naomi were great! And separately, Aderyn and Sam were great! Even together, Aderyn and Sam were great. I actually really liked how they played off of one another, and they both, in equal turns, made each other more playful and more serious. As the situation called for it.
I just wasn't really rooting for them as much? IDK, something happened like 40% in and I should have DNFd. Not anything specific that happened in the book. Something happened between my brain and the page and I just...wasn't as invested in what was going to happen. I was way more invested in the side characters and the cloak and dagger aspects of the plot. But they were kind of few and far between.
But I do love Aderyn. She is awesome! She's the super strong, super athletic woman who has her insecurities but still walks through life determined to claim her space. And I was all the way here for that.
