Caught Between The Stacks by Maci Dillon, Maci Dillon

3.0

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.
