Synopsis:
Jules Carmichael needs to get her life together. Pronto. School's been hell, there was that tiny stint in rehab, and worst of all, she's lost her cushy summer job. The only available work is at Office Jax, home of horrid 90s music and the biggest jerk on this side of the galaxy...
Recovering from a brutal break-up and taking a hiatus from college, Ryan DeShane has just discovered the “6 Ultimate Steps to the Perfect Summer Fling.” It's a brilliant distraction, and Jules is a tantalizing target. But the “steps” work a little too well, because he and Jules are definitely, uh, flinging. And it's only a matter of time before Ryan's foolproof plan starts to seriously unravel...

Review: To be quite honest, I was not expecting to have this much fun while reading this book. Ryan and Jules were so fun, enjoyable, and deeply rooted characters to read.
Their banter. Lordy, their banter. Who knew that 90's music titles could be used for something other than being a name of a song. A+ for creativity Jennifer Blackwood *claps*. Here I was expecting something cheesy and adorable, and it was and more. Something amazingly cheesy much like the most wonderful thing in the world: pizza.
DID ANYONE NOTICE THE 10 Things I Hate About You reference?!?! Because if you did I love you. That was probably my favorite scene in the entire book just because I love 10 Things with a fiery passion. But other than that scene, the way that Ryan and Jules were compatible towards each other was happy-day inducing. What I love about their relationship was that many times Ryan would say that Jules was his match. They would make each other better instead of beat themselves up because they think they don't deserve the other. They were the perfect match for each other.
Now let's talk about Jules. She had gone through some tough obstacles. Key word: HAD. She's done with her past, but the only problem she has is that other people aren't done. They want to say "hey look at what youve done, there's no way you can get past that" and degrade her, they don't want to support her. And yet her she is for the most part perfectly fine. She's a freaking strong and determined woman who has taken a few hard turns but knows she'll get out of it. If that's not inspiring then I don't know what is.
Guys, Foolproof will keep a smile on your face from the first chapter to the last. LOL moments to giddiness to goofy grins are ensured. So grab this beauty and have a blast.
