Kylie Warner prides herself on being optimistic, but after finding her best friend in bed with her boyfriend and flunking chemistry, her upbeat attitude has taken a dive. Even an impromptu hook-up with her sexy new chemistry tutor only brightens her mood slightly. After all, it’s not like she’ll ever see the tattooed scholar again…

While he’s a whiz at complex equations, Jonathon Kadisch has trouble when it comes to figuring out women. So when Kylie tells him that she’s pregnant after their night of passion, he’s at a complete loss. He’s prepared to be a good father—unlike his own deadbeat dad—but he’s less prepared to fall for the genuine and alluring blonde bearing his child.

With emotions running high, Kylie wonders if Jonathon’s devotion is out of growing love or looming obligation. And when heartbreak threatens to tear them apart, Jonathon will have to fight for the only girl who’s ever made him feel whole.

 I received this galley in exchange for an honest review.

I have enjoyed this series from the beginning, and I think Shatter has been my favorite so far. I really loved the characters, and I think that's what made me love this book so much. Both Kylie and Jonathon have earned a special place in my heart. First off, I love that Kylie was the one who needed tutoring, and it was tattooed Jonathon "Darwin" Kadisch that was the genius that was tutoring her.

I think these two were so adorable with each other, and nothing is hotter then a geeky, tattooed boy. They were only together one night, but that one night resulted in pregnancy. They literally just met, but I love that Jonathan was ready to do the right thing by Kylie and their unborn child.

Despite having a huge issue that the two of them were trying to figure out, I like that there wasn't any drama in the story. They were honest with each other, which I enjoyed. It was a nice change of pace from other new adult stories out there.

Shatter is one of my favorite stories from this series, and I am excited to read the next one!
