The Ex Games by Jennifer Echols


Brace yourself for the battle of the exes... Hayden and Nick used to be a hot item, but their brief affair ended with a highly publicized breakup. Now the two are "just friends," excluding the occasional flirtation. When Hayden wins the girls' division of a local snowboarding competition, Nick is unimpressed, claiming that Hayden wouldn't have a chance against a guy. Hayden calls Nick's bluff and challenges him to a head-to-head boarding contest. Their mutual friends quickly take sides, the girls on Hayden's and the boys on Nick's, making for an all-out battle of the sexes. This friendly competition is bound to get heated—and they might end up igniting some old flames.


This book was completely adorable! Simon Pulse romantic comedies are one of my favorite things to read because reading them is so… effortless. Hayden was an interesting character, despite being a little repetitive and annoying at times. Her determination with snow boarding was admirable, and her fear of heights is something that I could personally relate to. Nick was cute! Even in the beginning when he was portrayed as being really mean, I loved him.
Jennifer Echols is an amazing author. All of the characters that she writes are perfect. The Ex Games was super addicting, I finished reading it in a mater of hours. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a nice winter- love story. I adored it and I hope you will too.

I def agree about Hayden being a bit annoying but mostly I love the scenes between Hayden and Nick. Echols writes them so well!
