Cold.
Cruel.
Coward.
Ares “Wolf” Mallick ripped my heart out. He ground it into mush and didn’t even grant me the courtesy of a goodbye. He just left me. He left and said our relationship, fake or otherwise, meant nothing to him.
I made a mistake last semester, and it had nothing to do with our phony arrangement. I let him hurt me, and I refuse to make that mistake again. Wolf and I make it back into each other’s lives, and when we do, I make one thing clear. I don’t need him anymore.
Showing up for the holidays with his brother only drives the point home.
Cry.
Red.
Wolfy.
I’ve moved on from my ex-fake boyfriend, but unfortunately, the physical draw to him is still there. It’s carnal and just as messed up as him and that period we played pretend.
Wolf has made it very clear he feels nothing for me, and I loathe the guy who savagely broke my heart. The pair of us don’t need or even like each other, but we don’t have to in order for a relationship with benefits to work. The Big Bad Wolf and I aren’t friends, and I have no desire to be…
I’m more than fine being his enemy.

Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ares “Wolf” Mallick made a mistake. He lied to his friends and family, he had a “fake” girlfriend and caught feelings. And if that wasn’t bad enough, his little brother, Bru, just so happened to be friends with Fawn, his now ex “fake” girlfriend.
The first half of this book didn’t sit right with me. Ares was essentially alienated, during the holidays no less, for how badly he treated Fawn. When in reality, I didn’t see him doing anything that awful. Did he blackmail her? Yes. But beyond that, what’s the worst he did? Break up with her?
But his friends and family all treated him like a pariah, when they were supposed to be his ride or die, and family first.
And Fawn… she has victim 101 down.
I stuck with it because I cared. Eden O’Neil has a way of making you care, and while Fawn isn’t my favorite character, I wanted to see Ares get his happily ever after. Especially considering everything he was going through. My heart physically ached for him, and I’m happy to say that it got better.
Ares’ and Fawn’s story was far deeper than I could have ever guessed…
