3.5 stars (2nd read; former rating: 3 stars)
A pleasurable book.
It's the second book that I read by [a:Anyta Sunday|5155341|Anyta Sunday|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1403006029p2/5155341.jpg] and at the moment I think about her work like "relaxing reading for stressful times."
There's a sensation that I have in respect of both books and is that they have a laid-back undertone. We'll see if when I read some more books by her this repeats at the point of thinking about said undertone like her trademark.
The writing style is pleasant and clear, and the story reads in a jiffy.
I tolerate without problems the feeling of "I already read this" if the theme attracts me and it's well-written. But while I was reading [b:DJ Dangerfield|19226778|DJ Dangerfield|Anyta Sunday|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1386307307s/19226778.jpg|25756329] I couldn't avoid thinking that it looked similar to [b:Taboo For You|18298950|Taboo For You (Friends to Lovers, #1)|Anyta Sunday|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1375869584s/18298950.jpg|25255768], the parallelism becomes very strong in what does to the characters's treatment:
* Luke / Kane
* Sam / Justin
* Jeremy / Tom
* Carole / Hannah
I should say that even though I liked a lot all these characters I expect to see more versatility in other books of Ms. Sunday.
A pleasurable book.

This story was a totally cute slow burn romance with a side of self-discovery.
I'm also obsessed with this new cover.

In my opinion, Anyta Sunday does novellas really well, and this was no exception.
It was entertaining, and held quite a lot of story and build up for the length.

Sweet, innocent college romance that has a GFY element - though not thoroughly explored, just lightly touched on. Not my favourite of Anyta’s but it was a nice read :)

This was a really short read, I think I read it in less than an hour. It's an M/M college novella and it was seriously cute.
I love Anyta Sunday's writing. She creates believable, adorable characters and her chemistry sizzles off the page.
DJ Dangerfield was such a fun book and did exactly what I wanted by taking my mind off reality and cheering me up after a pretty bad day.
3.5 HEA-guaranteed stars from me!

A light, fun, shortish read. I've only read one other book from this author and can see me reading more.
Nice also to read a story set other than US, this one is in New Zealand though as it is mainly set on a university campus, the place doesnt come into it much.
Two guys connect over a year without meeting, then we come in to find out how they actually meet and if they can get together. A read to put a smile on your face.
23.6.21 reread : light, easy to read writing style. The NZ setting is not a major part of the story as it is quite short. Justin comes to the realisation that his contention with the local radio DJ is actually flirting. After that it is just a case of the two meeting.

Cute, sweet, and almost YA except that the last chapter takes it out of that territory. There is a bit too much noncommunication and I'd have liked to see a little anger at some moments of overstepping. But this writer's style always makes me smile, and this was no exception.

So. Freaking. Cute. I can’t believe I gave a novella 5 stars, but here we are
