Five angsty love-hate stars for M Jameson’s Hate Games novella. This is undoubtedly my favorite by Jameson thus far and I am jonesing like mad for more Ryder and Ash.

A Novella of these characters, their stories, their love story and this world just isn’t enough. So thankful there’s a full novel coming so I can get myself more of them!

I have just finished Shameless by Jennifer Sucevic in the Kiss And Tell Anthology and enjoyed Mason and Poppy’s forbidden romance immensely. Mason is the assistant coach working for Poppy’s dad who happens to be the head coach for their college’s football team. They are both smitten with each other the moment they see each other but Mason’s position puts them squarely in a no-go zone. Well, things happen and love forces it’s way into their life. It couldn’t be avoided when they happen to be soulmates. Shameless is a quick read and a great story that will help lift your spirits if needed. Definitely worth to take a chance on.

Collision Theory by Lynn Stevens
4 stars

Kenzie, the female mechanic/motocross rider lead, is picks up a crashed car and takes Austin, the male college student and its driver, back to the garage with her because he begs. He’s polite and interested and not her normal type but she offers him a chance to get to know her and he jumps at it.

This novella is dual POV, well written, and a true opposites attract story. I greatly enjoyed Kenzie’s character development and the way their relationship evolved, especially given the input from Kenzie’s friend with benefits. This is the first story I’ve read from this author and, if you like college romance, I definitely recommend.


Caught Between the Stacks by Maci Dillon

Kennedy and Echo, the lead characters, were friends as children, until he joined her bullies. Then his family moved away. Now they’re both in the same college. Kennedy’s a jock in need of tutoring and Echo has been volunteered as his tutor. They start to become closer but, after an intimate interlude, Kennedy leaves in a hurry, telling her this was a mistake…

This short story is female lead POV, well written, and definitely not the end of a romance! I understand it’s an interlude to go in an anthology but the ending leaves me totally unsatisfied as a romance reader because Echo is hurt by Kennedy’s final actions and words; it’s not a neutral or HFN finish.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lots of amazing stories and some definitely had cliffhangers that were brutal. I enjoyed the stories and they were all quite long so it really took me quite a few weeks to finish where normally I would have it finished in a much shorter time.
