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.
