With everything on the line, it’s game onLogan Kase has reveled in being Willow Creek’s infamous wild child until one detrimental decision proved it was time for a change. Years later, Logan is back in her small hometown and ready to prove to everyone (especially herself) that she’s not that same girl anymore. But the new life she’s so carefully constructed starts to tear apart the second she … the second she runs into Cole Tucker.
Logan thought she’d put her childhood rival and their adolescent games behind her, but it takes her only one night before she’s forced into one final game, a series of hilariously immature challenges that has the whole town keeping score. A game that, should she lose, could destroy everything she’s built her new life around.

They always were daring each other, but Cole really liked Logan, but she wasn’t sure about him. Now she is back after graduating college and engaged. But they seem both being the best and pranks.
A fun entertaining story with wonderful characters. A clean romance with a light entertaining storyline.
Very original! Loved it!
Predictable fluff, good for a quick read.
So, I first read book 2 as I found it at Netgalley. I loved it, gave it 5 stars, and immediately bought this book. And even when I also loved this book I still have some issues to point out.
Ever since they were young, Logan (Lo) and Cole have been pranking and one-upping each other. After graduation, Logan left town and did not return for 4 years. When she does, she has a fiance in tow, a doctor no less, and it seems she has made herself into a new woman. However, meeting Cole brings the old Logan back and soon she and Cole are challenging each other again. It is quite obvious from the beginning that Cole has had a crush on Logan since forever. What does Logan want? Will she choose the doctor-husband and a life where she is the perfect doctor’s wife, or does Cole stir other feelings in her?
Overall I really enjoyed the book. Sometimes Logan annoyed me a bit as she seemed immature and bratty and I did not like her drinking so much. I know Cole drank as much, but we do get his POV and he is so in love with Logan you can’t help but root for him. Logan floundered around, not knowing what she wants. Actually quite realistic and age-appropriate as she is I think 22 years old.
So what are my issues? I could not believe Logan would stay away from her parents for 4 years! And having read book 2, there seem to be a lot of similarities in the stories of Logan/Cole and Cowboy/Harper. The staying away for so long (years) because of what happened one night for one.
Still love the books of course. The author is really good in her writing and evoking emotions so I do hope the next will not follow the same pattern. Would be interested in a story about Cole’s little sister!
First Love What a great story by Shannon Stults.
Logan has come home to Willow Creek after being away the past 4 year at school. A newly engaged and ready to show everyone that she has grown up an is not so wild anymore. That is until she sees Cole Tucker again. Can she stick to her new ways or will the wild child come back out. An can she and Cole get along or will the new bet change things? This is a must read. Can’t wait for the next one in the series.
Loved this book!! Logan has returned home to Willow Creek, she was known as the wild child growing up but now she thought she turned a new leaf in life, being engaged to a doctor. She soon turns back to her old ways after running into her arch rival, Cole from growing up. Everything was a competition/challenge with Cole. Cole wants one last challenge, but could this change Logan’s path in life.
Loved these characters, full of life, fun and emotions. Loved the banter between the two. This is well paced story full of emotion that will keep you turning the pages. Great dialogue that will have you laughing out loud.
This is a debut author and now I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book!!
Sweet, romantic, funny and emotional. This book had everything I wanted from a romance story?
Logan Kase had finally returned to Willow Creek, and she brought her fiancé, Jacob, with her. It was quite the surprise to everyone in her hometown to see the formally wild child hooked up with a strait-laced, buttoned up shirt, kind of guy. But it was an even bigger surprise to Cole Tucker who had secretly been in love with Logan since they were kids. Cole knew the real Logan and the image she was putting on in front of her doctor fiancé was not the Logan he remembered.
When Jacob is called out of town, and Cole and Logan end up at Wade’s Bar drinking, it leads them to a series of crazy challenges that eventually leads them to second thinking the futures they had planned. Everyone in Willow Creek knew Logan and Cole were meant to be together and this was the push they needed to find their way back to each other.
I really got into this book. The author really has a way with her words. Every element that I look for in a romance was in this book and I even got teary in the end. The characters were so much fun. They felt real and Willow Creek felt like a place I wanted to live in. I can’t wait to read more books in this series.
