Synopsis
I am a slut.
No worries. I've come to terms with it, and you will too. I’m not one of those girls who thinks she’s too plain, too fat, too skinny, too shy … no, I don’t have that kind of luck. I’m the girl who knows she’s just right for everyone. — Denver
A reputation as a manwhore–with–a–heart–of–gold tends to precede me.
But, I don’t do girls with issues, that is until this girl. It's this girl I want to fix. This girl I want to protect. And maybe … more. — Ransom
Being in love with the same girl your entire life isn't all it's cracked up to be. She uses me in every way imaginable. How does she see me? I am her perpetual one-night stand. No strings, no attachments. Just mind-numbing sex ... for her anyway. — Greer Feeling like the life is being choked out of her in the small town of Anaconda, Montana, Denver Dempsey craves the escape that college offers … even if that means leaving her “best friend with benefits” and looking for a new way to forget. Thinking she's found the perfect hookup in Ransom, Denver's outlook on college is bright. That is, until Greer shows up looking for a second chance, and Ransom's interest turns to hatred.
Love. Hate. Triangle. Who's using who?

Steph's Review:
Well...huh. It seems that I am a bit perplexed.
I liked Used but didn't love it.
Something just felt a little off.
This is the messy story of Denver, Ransom, and Greer.
Denver the "self proclaimed rodeo slut" was a hard chic to connect with. She has issues. Lots of them. Daddy issues. Mommy issues. "Slut" issues....etc. She had zero development and growth through the entire story. That combined with her fickleness dry humped my last fucking nerve.
Greer "Denver's Golden Boy" is her hot best friend/fuck buddy, I was actually diggin him for a minute! Maybe I still am?! ;)
He seems to always have Denver's best interest at heart. But some unexpected shit goes down that makes me question my judgment and his. Fuck it...I still prefer him to Ransom though.
Hmmmph. Ransom. I am truly undecided how I feel about him. I just didn't get the whole bad ass alpha vibe from him. He just seems like an ass to me. He is bipolar when it comes to Denver.
The best part about Ransom was his cousin Austin. I LOVE HIM! He is flirty, fun, mischievous, and loyal. I hope he gets his own book!
Used is well written & flows easily, had a dual POV (which I love), the plot was good with a couple of twists and turns and there is no cliffhanger!
3.5 Stars

About the Author
Since the dawn of time, Lynetta Halat has lived to read and has written innumerable stories and plays. A lover of good books, bad boys, and kickass tunes, she'd always dreamt of penning books that people could connect with and remember. She also has a secret penchant for wringing the emotions out of unsuspecting readers, and she collects reader's tears in much the same way that wine connoisseurs collect their favorite vintage.
Her first novel, Every Rose, was the perfect catalyst to launch her into the world of publishing, effectively burrowing her way into the hearts and minds of readers throughout the world. Everything I've Never Had was her follow-up adult romance novel. Now, she has penned Used, a New Adult Romance that she hopes sinks its teeth into you and doesn't let go.
Her love of the English language prompted her to pursue a Master's degree in English from Old Dominion University in Virginia, where she also minored in snark and interpretive dance. She lives somewhere along the Mississippi Gulf Coast with her adorable husband, two amazing sons, and two loveable dogs. When she's not writing riveting stories, she likes to focus on her macramé art and her scouring of eBay, where she buys locks of hair from her favorite rock stars, most especially Bret Michaels and Dave Grohl.
