Michael Graham and John Rikker were best friends growing up, spending all their time together, playing hockey either on the ice or on a gaming console in Graham’s den. Until the summer when it was quite clear that their friendship was turning into something else and they couldn’t keep their hands off each other anymore. Taking every chance they got to be together in secret, their developing relationship came to a violent end when they were caught by a gang of homophobic bullies. Graham managed […]
The beauty and the basketball player
Katie Vickery is a sorority pledge and there is no way she can show up to a party without a date. Having just broken up with her jerky football player boyfriend, she’s at a bit of a loss, until her roommate Scarlet sets her up with a childhood friend, Andrew Baschnagel. While Katie normally dates football players, at least Andy is an athlete and an upperclassman, even if the sport is basketball. Of course, Katie pretty much wants to eat worms than go to the […]
I finally read it too
4.5 stars Corey Callahan was expecting to go to prestigious Harkness College as a varsity hockey player, but instead arrives there in a wheelchair, after ending up partly paralysed from the wait down after an accident on the ice. Her cheerful new roommate doesn’t seem to mind that they have to stay in a handicap-accessible room away from all the other Harkness freshmen. If having to re-assess all her hopes and dreams about college wasn’t difficult enough, Corey also falls head over heels for the […]
One of my favorite romance heroines
Bella was one of my favorite characters in earlier books, so I’m glad she got her own book. I feel like it’s rare to see such a sex-positive, confident, no apologies for being sexy kind of female character. Maybe I’m just reading the wrong books. It was great fun to see traditional romance tropes turned on their heads in The Shameless Hour. Bella, manager of the men’s hockey team, likes to sleep around and she doesn’t really give a shit what anyone says about it. […]
Of course I liked these Bowen romances, they’re Bowen romances
Blonde Date: I can’t deny that this was a pretty adorable aside in The Ivy Years series. I wasn’t going to bother with it because short stories and novellas aren’t really my thing, but I was convinced by all the people who loved it. Katie, a freshman, is still adjusting and trying to find a place to belong at college. She’s pledging a sorority and has dated a few athletes, but due to a humiliating experience with one of them, she’s feeling a little unsteady. […]
Yet another enjoyable Bowen romance
Part of the reason I liked The Year We Fell Down so much is that it felt so realistic and relatable. The Year We Hid Away definitely stretched the boundaries of realistic, but at least the characters were still believable in how they dealt with their individual situations and fell for each other. I really liked both of the characters and that always goes a long way to making a romance lovable. Scarlet, previously Shannon, is escaping the nightmare of her family situation via her […]
