Aanwijzigingen voor gebruik
Gebruik: stroomtoevoer herstellen Om de medisana ultrasone vernevelaar IN 515 te gebruiken kan hij van stroom worden voorzien met 2 AA-batterijen van 1,5 V of met behulp van de USB-C-kabel. a) Stroomtoevoer met batterijen: Open de klep van het batterijvak 7 aan de onderkant van het apparaat in de richting van de pijl (zie afbeelding). Plaats de 2 meegeleverde batterijen (type AA/LR6 1,5 V). Let er daarbij op dat de batterijen in de juiste richting worden geplaatst. Sluit de klep van het batterijvak 7 weer. Vervang de batterijen zo snel mogelijk door nieuwe als bij een ingeschakeld apparaat het indicatielampje 3 oranje knippert. b) Stroomtoevoer met behulp van de USB-C-kabel: Open het afdekklepje van de USB-C-aansluiting 1 en verbind de USB-C-kabel met een geschikte stroombron. Het apparaat kan niet worden gebruikt om oplaadbare batterijen op te laden. Voorbereiding van het gebruik 1. Zorg dat het apparaat uitgeschakeld is. 2. Open de klep van het reservoir 5 en vul dit met het inhalatiemiddel (inhoud maximaal 10 ml = 10 ccm). Lees de gebruiksen doseringsinstructies op de bijsluiter van het medicament dat u gebruikt zorgvuldig door. 3. Sluit de klep van het reservoir 5 weer. Controleer of het reservoir 5 juist geplaatst is en houd het apparaat zo recht mogelijk om te voorkomen dat het gaat lekken. Inhaleren met het mondstuk 1. Ga zo goed mogelijk rechtop zitten. 2. Plaats het mondstuk 4 op het apparaat en sluit uw lippen er volledig omheen. 3. Schakel het apparaat in door op de aan-/uitknop 2 te drukken. Het indicatielampje 3 brandt groen. 4. Adem nu langzaam en diep door de mond in en door de neus uit. U kunt de werking van de therapie verbeteren door na het inademen de lucht kort vast te houden. Voor een algemeen resultaat van de therapie is dit echter niet nodig. Het is belangrijk dat u rustig en ontspannen blijft terwijl u gelijkmatig in- en uitademt. Inhaleer niet te snel. Als u wilt kunt u even een korte pauze houden en het mondstuk 4 uit de mond halen. Doe het opnieuw in de mond (lippen omsluiten het volledig) en adem weer langzaam in en uit. AANWIJZINGEN • Houd het apparaat zoveel mogelijk rechtop. Als het een beetje schuin wordt gehouden, heeft dit echter geen invloed op het gebruik. Let voor een optimale werking op dat u tijdens het inhaleren het apparaat zo recht mogelijk houdt. • Beweeg het apparaat een beetje als de hoeveelheid aerosol bijna op is, zodat de resterende hoeveelheid beter over het membraan wordt verdeeld. 5. Een behandeling mag niet langer dan 20 minuten duren. 6. Als het reservoir 5 leeg is, brandt het indicatielampje 3 rood en schakelt het apparaat snel daarna uit. U kunt het apparaat na afloop van het inhaleren ook handmatig uitschakelen door op de aan-/uitknop 2 te drukken, ook als al het inhalatiemiddel nog niet opgebruikt is. 7. Giet het resterende inhalatiemiddel uit het reservoir. Gebruik dit niet nogmaals. Maak het apparaat na gebruik altijd direct schoon. (Zie ook "Reinigen en onderhoud" en "Desinfecteren".) Als het mondstuk 4 een lange tijd in gebruik is, kunnen tijdens het gebruik 2 - 3 druppels inhalatiemiddel in het buisje van het mondstuk verschijnen. Dat heeft echter geen invloed op het gebruik en de werking van het apparaat. Verwijder de druppels na gebruik met een zachte doek. Inhaleren met het masker Er is ook een masker voor volwassenen en een masker voor kinderen meegeleverd. Daarmee kan het aerosol via de neus worden ingeademd. Deze toepassing vinden met name ouderen aangenamer. Voor het inhaleren met het masker dient het masker voor volwassenen of voor kinderen 4 op de uitgang van het reservoir te worden geplaatst. Volg daarna de aanwijzingen zoals beschreven in "Inhaleren met het mondstuk". Het verschil is dat de mond niet om het mondstuk sluit, maar dat het masker over de mond en de neus wordt gehouden. Reinigen en onderhoud • Haal het masker resp. het mondstuk van het apparaat af en giet het evt. resterende inhalatiemiddel eruit. • Houd voor het reinigen nooit het gehele apparaat of de vernevelunit onder stromend water en let op dat er geen water in het apparaat komt. • Start de reinigingsmodus van het apparaat als volgt: zorg dat het apparaat uitgeschakeld is en doe 3-6 ml schoon water in het reservoir 5. Activeer de reinigingsmodus door de aan-/uitknop 2 gedurende 3 seconden ingedrukt te houden. Het indicatielampje 3 knippert langzaam groen. De reinigingsmodus duurt 3 minuten en het apparaat beëindigt deze modus door automatisch uit te schakelen. • Haal nu de stroomtoevoer los (batterijen verwijderen en/of USB-C-kabel loshalen). • Druk op de ontgrendelingsknop 6 aan de achterkant van het apparaat en haal het reservoir 5 los. • Spoel de binnenkant van het reservoir 5 minstens 3 minuten met schoon water. Spoel niet de onderkant van de beker uit, zie afbeelding. • De behuizing van het apparaat kunt u schoonmaken met een doek die licht vochtig is gemaakt in een mild schoonmaakmiddel. • Maak het masker resp. het mondstuk schoon onder stromend water. • Laat daarna alle delen goed aan de lucht drogen op een droge, zachte ondergrond (bijv. een handdoek). • Als het apparaat gedurende langere tijd niet is gebruikt en vóór het allereerste gebruik dient u het ook op deze wijze te reinigen. Desinfecteren Bij infectieziekten dient u het apparaat behalve te reinigen ook te desinfecteren door de volgende stappen uit te voeren. Wij adviseren om onderstaande handelingen regelmatig "s ochtends of "s avonds op een vast tijdstip uit te voeren: • Spoel het/de masker(s) en het mondstuk af met gedestilleerd water. • Breng gedestilleerd water in een pan aan de kook. • Leg het mondstuk gedurende 5 minuten in het kokende water. • Neem de onderdelen daarna uit het water en laat ze aan de lucht (bijv. liggend op een handdoek) drogen en afkoelen. • In plaats van kokend, gedestilleerd water kunt u de onderdelen ook in een oplossing van reinigingsalcohol 75% leggen - ze hoeven daar maar 1 minuut in te liggen. Spoel de onderdelen vervolgens af met gedistilleerd water en laat ze drogen aan de lucht. • Let op dat er geen resten van het desinfectiemiddel op de onderdelen achterblijven, dat zou anders een gevaar op kunnen leveren tijdens de eerstvolgende keer dat het apparaat wordt gebruikt. Problemen oplossen Probleem: weinig/geen verneveling Oplossing: vervang de batterijen resp. controleer of de stroomtoevoer in orde is. Controleer of het reservoir 5 correct op het apparaat is gemonteerd en of er voldoende aerosol in het reservoir zit. Reinig het apparaat. Probleem: het indicatielampje 3 knippert groen en schakelt daarna uit Oplossing: het apparaat is al een lange tijd in gebruik. Schakel het apparaat uit en wacht enkele minuten voor u het opnieuw gebruikt. Probleem: het indicatielampje 3 knippert rood en schakelt daarna uit Oplossing: reservoir 5 leeg of onvoldoende stroomspanning. Probleem: het indicatielampje 3 knippert oranje en schakelt daarna uit Oplossing: vervang de batterijen of sluit de USB-C-kabel correct aan en zorg dat er voldoende aerosol in het reservoir 5 zit. Neem contact op met de klantenservice als bovenstaande instructies geen oplossing voor het probleem zijn. Elektromagnetische compatibiliteit Het apparaat voldoet aan de eisen zoals gesteld in de norm EN 60601-1-2 voor elektromagnetische compatibiliteit.

This book will give you ALL of the feels but it is AMAZING!
Format: Paperback
⚠️ Spoilers Ahead ⚠️ Full disclosure: I absolutely went back and pulled this book off my TBR because of the show. I had started the series a while ago and loved the first two books, but I couldn't quite get into the third one. After watching the adaptation and finally being able to put faces to the characters, I was completely on board with finishing the series—and wow, am I glad I did. This book was such an amazing read. Yes, it has the classic romance formula we've come to expect from this series: girl falls for guy, guy falls for girl, chaos and feelings ensue. But what made The Score stand out was everything happening around the romance. The character development, the friendships, the family dynamics, and the side storylines made this book impossible to put down. I devoured the entire thing in two days. The biggest highlight for me was Dean's character growth. From The Deal up until now, we've mostly seen him as the stereotypical hockey player—the guy everyone assumes is a dumb jock who hooks up with every girl on campus. But this book peels back those layers and shows who Dean really is. His protectiveness of Dakota and the team, the way he rushed to Allie's side despite the risk of exposing their relationship, his unwavering support for his friends, and the fact that he rarely uses his family's wealth or status to get ahead all reveal a much deeper character. What I loved most is that Dean never felt the need to constantly defend himself or prove people wrong. Everyone had their assumptions about him, and instead of correcting them, he just kept being himself because he knew the truth. There was something really beautiful about that. Allie's growth was equally satisfying. Watching her go from allowing Sean to dictate so much of her life to making her own choices and recognizing that she deserves better was such a rewarding journey. I also loved seeing the friend group continue to evolve. The boys rallying around the girls, supporting and protecting one another's relationships, really drove home the family dynamic that makes this series so enjoyable. And then there's the emotional damage this book inflicted on me. The Dean and Beau storyline absolutely wrecked me. The book spends so much time making you love Beau, his humor, his friendship with Dean, and all of his hilarious drunken moments that when the emotional gut punch finally comes, it hits hard. I remember getting toward the end, seeing that the relationship drama had been resolved, and realizing I still had a significant chunk of pages left. That's never a good sign. Sure enough, those final chapters had me sitting in my room crying like a baby. Beau was one of the first people who brought out the real Dean, and their friendship was such an important part of his story. That entire section broke my heart. Overall, just like the first two books, The Score was absolutely incredible. I loved every second of it. The romance was fantastic, the character development was top-tier, the friendships were everything, and that final reveal? Excuse me... WHAT?! That ending had my jaw on the floor and immediately sent me running to pick up the next book. If you're reading the Off-Campus series and haven't gotten to The Score yet, do yourself a favor and move it to the top of your list. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Easily 5 stars.

Overall Opinion: This was a fun read. I liked it. The banter and friendship these two had was great, and I loved how Allie knocked Dean off his feet. My main criticisms are that we really didn't need to experience the almost threesome at the beginning. I mean -- we get it...he's a Manho! BUT I didn't need to know descriptive details! The other is that I needed a jump ahead epilogue -- like I always do ;). They had some great things lined up for their futures, but I really wanted to see how it all went for them when they were older. Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Allie and Dean's story. Allie has (yet again) broken up with her boyfriend, and turns to her best friend Hannah (who we met in the first book The Deal). Hannah is out of town with her boyfriend, Garrett, and he offers to let Allie stay at his house to avoid the ex that keeps on texting and saying that he is coming over. That is when she runs in to Dean because he lives with Garrett. They spend the rest of the evening together with Dean being deemed her relationship coach with the job of keeping her from texting/calling her ex and taking him back. They end up getting drunk and sleeping together. Dean is ruined after that night for other women and is hooked on Allie. They start a friendship-with-benefits of sorts that of course turns into more. There are some laugh out loud moments, some sad moments, some sexy moments, and some sweet moments...and the couple get their HFN ending. POV: This alternated between Allie and Dean's POV. Overall Pace of Story: Good. It flowed well, and I didn't skim. The major drama did happen later in the book than usual, so it was cutting it close for things to get back to good IMO, but I felt like it was sufficiently addressed and handled. Instalove:No. They had some good development before they were into love status. H rating: 4 stars. Dean. I was surprised I'd like him so much, but I really did. We got to understand why he was the way he was regarding his sexual history, so that made him a lot more likable. I loved his interactions with the kids, and he was an overall good guy regardless of his past sexual acticities. h rating: 4.5 stars. Allie. I really liked her. She was super sweet, a wildcat in the bedroom, and she was really ambitious. Sadness level: Low/moderate. I had one time that I teared up, but I didn't need tissues and it didn't turn into an ugly cry. Heat level: Moderate. They had great chemistry and had some steamy times (some were just mentions of the experiences so it didn't become just about the sex). Descriptive sex: Yes. Safe sex: Yes. Condoms were used until they were in a committed relationship, and then testing and birth control discussions happened. OW/OM drama: Surprisingly no for OW, but yes for OM. The h's ex showed up and texted trying to win her back. Sex scene with OW or OM: Yes Closure: This didn't have enough closure for me at all. I really wanted a jump ahead epilogue to see their lives when they were older. I would call it a HFN ending (which I think is the norm with this series). How I got it: I paid the $4.99 on Amazon.

Too Many Problems Deterred My Enjoyment
Format: Kindle
Elle Kennedy's was one of my favorite romances from 2015. I loved the progression of the relationship between the two leads and felt that the book handled the issue of past sexual assault really well compared to other books in the genre. Then came . The romance in this story was not as compelling to me, but I appreciated how the author really put thought and effort into portraying the hero's struggle with familial obligations versus the pursuit of his dreams. Both these previous books in the Off-Campus series depict college relationships and the struggles of emerging adulthood realistically--something that I feel is oftentimes missing in New Adult novels. It is rare for me to find books in the genre relatable (ironic, given that I was a college student less than a year ago and should theoretically be the readership these books are marketed to), which makes my enjoyment of Elle Kennedy's books especially precious. I was counting down the days to its release and finished it in a matter of hours. And it was...kind of meh. The published synopsis really does not properly describe the story, so let me first quickly summarize the key points anyone needs to know: Allie is an aspiring actress who is trying to figure out whether she should aim for a television or a stage career. She recently broke up with her on-again-off-again ex-boyfriend and in her heartbreak, she cannot even imagine getting into a relationship with anyone else. She has a one-night stand with Dean, a rich college hockey star, who is only after casual sex. They decide to have a fling, but must keep it a secret because they have many mutual friends. There were so many things that bothered me about this book, I actually had to make a list. 1. The gratuitous scene involving Dean in a threesome with two girls is unappealing and unnecessary. I am not marking this as a spoiler because it is a scene found at the very beginning of the book (2% into the Kindle version) and really does not have a point. I do not understand why this scene was not cut out or at least shortened in the editing process. What does it serve to do? To show that Dean is sexually promiscuous? It is pretty clear to the reader that Dean is sexually promiscuous. He mentions it all the time. Other characters mention it all the time. Girls hit on him and he flirts with them all the time. There is no need for us to read in explicit detail his fun fun times. Perhaps the scene is there to titillate the reader? It just made me feel very uncomfortable because I was wondering the entire time whether these two women were actually into each other or whether they were merely performing for his sexual satisfaction. We later find out that, yes, these two are in fact interested in having sex with each other as well, but that is later on. During the scene I remained unsure, which makes it kind of icky. 2. The old "she ruined my penis for other women" trope. This is a convention I hate in romances. Nothing pulls me out of the story faster than this because it is not realistic, nor do I find it particularly romantic that the hero cannot get sexually aroused by anyone but the heroine. People, no matter how in love (and Dean was most definitely not in love when this occurs in the story), can still be aroused by others. It is basic biology. No one has the voodoo genitalia that can prevent their partners from feeling sexual attraction to another person. It is whether your partner will act on this attraction that will make or break a relationship. This is especially important when your partner is someone like Dean, who makes it a point to never get into serious relationships. Whether he can actually commit to Allie is a serious question, but the author decides to wave this aside by giving Allie a magical vagina. I mean, if she's the only one his penis will respond to, is it any wonder they get together? She's his last hope! 3. Neither of the characters are particularly well fleshed out. It is as if Kennedy just listed a bunch of traits she wanted the characters to have in order to keep them interesting and then just decides to write in whatever plot points she wanted without bothering to explore the characters. For example, Dean is a rich playboy who does whatever he wants. His motto is to live by his own rules and desires and outside of a few incidents here and there, his life is pretty swell. The only potential problem in his life is that he plans to attend law school after college even though he does not have an interest in it. Dean honestly bores me to tears because for most of the book nothing is done with his character. He lives in his happy Dean world and if anything disturbs his world (Allie's magical, yet elusive vagina) he rushes to solve it with a gusto, and then settles back to his happy Dean life. I mean, does this guy even have any hobbies outside of hockey and sex? I guess the previous heroes in the series were caught up in hockey and sex too, but at least they were intensely serious about hockey. Dean isn't as interested in the sport, which is fine, but that means his main interest in life that we know of is sex. Which is kind of sad (this is the last time I will mention magical genitalia, I swear!), since Allie's basically ruined his willy from sex with other people. Seriously, though, Kennedy tries to give him more interesting things to do by having him volunteer to coach a boys' hockey team but this is really something his new assistant coach forces on him and even when he finds interest in doing it, it does not even begin to fill the blank canvas that is his life. The author then, again, tries to challenge and deepen Dean's character with the story's final conflict, but it just does not work for me (see below). Allie's character is more interesting, yet more frustrating because of all the wasted potential. She's an aspiring actress who is struggling with her future career plans and worrying about how to take care of her father, who has multiple-sclerosis. Making it as an actress depends a great deal on luck and opportunity and very talented people can spend years and years without getting anywhere. It is a very risky career choice, especially when you have a dependent who requires close care-taking and high medical costs. But does the story focus--nay even attempt to address these potential problems? Noooo. Instead, Allie spends most of her time debating whether she should look at casting offers in L.A. or trying to make it on Broadway. And banging Dean, of course. Her father vaguely factors into her worries about her career, but not to an extent that one would expect him to. I mean, I guess it is great and all for her to have so many opportunities as an actress, but, really, what is the point of making this career choice a part of her character if she does not even have to struggle with one of the most basic aspects of it? 4. Interesting relationship conflicts are brought up, but never resolved satisfactorily. An ongoing worry for Allie is her inability to separate sex from relationships. She cannot keep it casual and since adolescence she has never gone long being single. She even worries later in the story whether she has a co-dependency problem. It does not appear to me, personally, that she has a co-dependency problem, since she makes most of her life and career decisions with her own interests in mind and actually breaks up with her ex-boyfriend when he wanted to dictate her future for her. Nevertheless, I think it is perfectly valid and even healthy for someone who has always had long-term relationships to want to stay single for a while. Unfortunately, Allie does not get to experience this at all. She goes from breaking up with her ex to being sex buddies with Dean (since they decide to be exclusive and she admits she has a hard time separating sex from commitment, I do not count this as being single) to being Dean's girlfriend. She does experience a minor break from Dean toward the end of the book, but that is only for about a month before she is back with him again for their happily ever after. And since this is a romance, happily ever after means permanence. While an HEA is good and all, I am left feeling a bit sad that Allie never really got to experience adult life not being romantically attached to another person. The bigger conflict of the series is whether Dean, with his pampered life, will actually be able to support Allie when the times get rough. Allie's dad does not think so, which is a huge foreshadowing that Dean's ability to be there for her will be no doubt be tested by a Tragic Incident. I will not elaborate on the Tragic Incident, because spoilers, but suffice to say that it is definitely devastating for the people affected. However, the strange thing is...the incident does not affect Allie. Instead, it is an incident that is pertinent to Dean. And he falls apart and has a very hard time coping. And Allie makes a decision that, while I think is reasonable, ruins the entire climax of the story for me (see spoiler for details). **********SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!**************** After a few weeks of not being able to pull him from his grief, Allie just leaves Dean. I have two major problems with this: firstly, how on earth does this prove that Allie's dad is right in saying Dean would not be able to support Allie in trying times? If anything, this shows that Allie might not be the best pillar of support for Dean when tragedies happen. Secondly, I honestly understand why she leaves--she has her own life and she cannot and should not be jeopardizing her future to be his caretaker. That said, it really, really baffles me that she does not make any attempt to get him any help. She reasons that he is not in a bad enough state for professional help, but couldn't she at least contact his family? She knows his sister. She should have at least given her a call to make sure someone would be there for him rather than just leaving him to his own devices. Sure, he is still highly functional when she leaves him, but his behavior is also getting more and more self-destructive. This is kind of a terrible thing to do to anyone, never mind your boyfriend. Again, perhaps she really should have tried out that single life for a while. **********END OF SPOILERS**************** 5. The ending is way too pat. Everybody gets what they want and potential conflict (Dean's changes in future aspirations, having a long distance relationship after college, etc.) is completely resolved by the rosy wand of plot. I would rejoice at this if I actually felt that the story ever attempted to explore any of its major conflicts. Alas, it does not, so the fairy tale conclusion does not feel hard-earned and just makes me feel grumpy. Whew. That was really a long rant. Now briefly on to the good things: The saving grace of this book and why, to a certain extent, I understand why other people would give it a high score is that the characters actually fare much better when they are together than when they are apart. Not only do Dean and Allie develop a happy, loving relationship, but their relationship is also one based on mutual respect, communication, and trust. Fancy that! A romance novel where characters actually talk to each other and trust that their partners will keep their promises of commitment! I especially like how their feelings of love grow not from outside forces (like jealousy over potential suitors) but from extended time spent with one another. Their conversations are quirky and fun to read and you can tell how much they genuinely like and care about each other. If this is enough to satisfy you as a reader and you are not bothered by the things I mentioned above, you would like this book just fine. I think I just have a stronger bone to chew on regarding this one because the characters are so close in age to me, so I have a harder time waving away problems with my "But it's just fantasy!" hand. What is especially disappointing to me is that this was written by an author whose work I had really enjoyed in the past. Again, I am not a huge fan of New Adult romances. College is a time of great personal development and life transitions. I wish NA books will take this setting into more serious consideration. You can have romance and still have characters dealing with complex situations that are relevant to this stage in their lives. But c'est la vie, I suppose. Oh, by the way, since I guess I should mention it: the sex scenes are pretty steamy. Unfortunately, the squick I felt from the aforementioned threesome scene poisoned any hot lovin' the rest of the book had to offer, so I just skimmed. But there was a lot of skimming, so the book is packed for those who wish to know! Rating: B-

Ms. Kennedy Scores Again!
Format: Kindle
I am absolutely addicted to Elle Kennedy’s Off-Campus series. When I picked up The Deal last year I had no idea what to expect. I love her Navy SEAL series but a New Adult? I have to say, I fell so hard for that book it was ridiculous. Don’t tell anyone but I think I might even love this series more. Ack! I’m an adult. I’ve been out of college for more years than these characters have been alive! What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with me is I’m a sucker for young love stories that have substance, well-developed characters, witty dialogue, and just enough angst to make it interesting without making me want to kill myself. And this is exactly what we get with Off-Campus. It’s not a given that each book in a series will top the last, or even equal its predecessors, but Ms. Kennedy has blown that theory out of the water. The Deal, The Mistake, and now The Score are all deliciously entertaining. I can’t say I love one more than the other because they are all unique. Each book focuses on one of four members of Briar University’s hockey team, all roommates in what I imagine in my head to be a large, rambling off-campus house. These guys are hardcore athletes, so of course, they’re gorgeous, sculpted of yummy muscles, confident, and can pretty much snap their fingers and the girls come running. But under those pretty exteriors and horndog antics lie endearing personalities. The thing I love most about the four guys sharing the house is they all have each other’s backs no matter what the circumstances. When it’s time to man up, be mature, and offer advice they excel at it. I love these guys. They’re also hilarious as hell. The Score is book 3, featuring self-professed man-whore Dean Di Laurentis and Allie Hayes, Hannah’s best friend (from book 1, The Deal) . These two couldn’t be more different. According to The Life of Dean, there are no repeat performances with girls. Ever. He’s not remotely interested in anything that involves the dirty word relationship. Allie, on the other hand, has dated the same guy for four years. Granted, they’ve broken up four times but this time, it’s for real. She’s even high tailed it out of the dorm she shares with Hannah and is hiding out at the guys’ house for the weekend. The couples are out of town, which leaves only Dean at home. Allie can surely smack down on his ridiculous flirting. But after some well-deserved tequila shots and a joint or maybe two, things get blurry and… "The memories come crashing back in vivid Technicolor. The terrible movie. The tequila shots. The… rest. I slept with Dean last night. Twice. My heart beats faster as I stare up at the ceiling. I’m in Dean’s room. There’s an empty condom wrapper on the end table. And… yep, I’m naked." What surprises Allie, even more, is that she seems to recall enjoying herself. A Lot. She’s got a kinky streak that her ex wasn’t on board with but Dean…wow. Regardless, it was beyond wrong and Hannah will kill her if she finds out, so Dean and Allie make a pact to keep it between them. Only problem is, Dean can’t stop thinking about Allie. It surprises the crap out of him because this is certainly a first but he needs, at least, one more taste. "After last night’s performance, Allie Hayes proved that she’s fully capable of leaving her mark on a man. Jesus. That girl can f***. Damn, and now my dick is semi-hard. It’s been doing that all day, chubbing out every time I think about Allie." Likewise, Allie can’t stop thinking about Dean. When Dean begs for more, she’s shocked. Maybe what she needs is indeed a fling. She may be a card-carrying member of the Team Boyfriend, but it hasn’t done her any favors in the last few years. A change might be good. But can she handle it? Allie and Dean are hilarious together. She isn’t the starry-eyed coed type he’s used to. She doesn’t say How high? when he says Jump. Their verbal sparring is exquisite! It’s not only entertaining, it’s also revealing. The more she treats him with nonchalance the more he falls for her. She’s not being a tease. She’s being realistic. Dean isn’t a long term keeper. He’s rich, spoiled, and gets what he wants. He’s only hanging around because she isn’t begging for his attention. Besides, she’s spent four years as a drama major, she’ll be graduating soon, and needs to focus on her acting career. But Dean is relentless, being all adorable and sexy, watching French soap operas with her and generally making her forget about her ex. Plus, Dean is just so damn HOT it’s irresistible. Dean is on a fast track to win over Allie. He can’t explain this all-consuming fascination and need and he doesn’t care. What little Dean wants, big Dean does his best to procure. Allie might consider this thing between them merely a fling but that’s not how it’s going down if he can help it. She makes him want to be a better man and, I must admit the more we learn about Dean, the harder I fell in love with him. He’s put on a good act for a long time; a Richie Rich man-whore who skates by on his charm and looks when in fact, he’s extremely intelligent, caring, and kind. Ms. Kennedy has once again given us another exceptional story that is not only fun, witty, and chock full of sexy chemistry. Unexpected and shocking surprises deepen the tension and pull at the heartstrings yet are by no means superfluous. The writing is beautiful, tight, fast-paced, and so entertaining I didn’t want it to end.

Emotional & Spicy!
Format: Kindle
Entertaining, heartbreaking, emotionally charged with grief, as well as friendships, romance and love. This is Dean and Allies’ journey to their HEA and I was all in from the beginning. These two not only bring the heat but their relationship grows surprisingly strong, and is full of warmth and loving moments. Watching Dean fall for Allie had my heart racing, and my head swooning for this strong and full of life man as he fall hard for Allie. The growth in his character was incredible. Watching these two both fall for each other as they deal with some pretty serious issues, brought all the emotions, so get your tissues ready. Loved these two together!
