Be prepared for explicit material, language, and content.
Let’s start first with the fact that Elle Kennedy knows how to write them steamy. I didn’t read the first book in the series, but I had read other stories by her so I had a general idea of what genre it was. It’s the story of two seniors in college. One is hockey star, and NHL draftee, Shane, and cheerleading captain Diana. They don’t like each other, and then find each other next door neighbors. And I think you can figure out where it’s going. 🥵🍆💃🏻🕺
Throw in two jealous exes, leading them to fake date, a ballroom dance competition, and family drama and you have the story. I did think it ran a little long, and call me a prude, but the explicit language and descriptions were a little much. (plus, I guess times have changed or I had my head in the sand [more likely], but I don’t remember college being this raunchy.) In the end I liked it, but it’s not something that I would readily recommend to just anyone.
