~Synopsis~
Alexa is just your average college junior, attending classes and piloting Mile High Club charter flights. Boys haven't been on her radar for a couple years after a disastrous breakup with her high school sweetheart. Her plans to focus on school hit a bit of a snag when she meets bad-boy Drake Bennett and he sets his sights on making her his own. Drake transferred to Blythe College for the rugby team, not for a new assortment of college girls. He's sexy and cocky, and he attracts women like moths to a flame. When he meets Alexa, Drake knows he's met his match. She tries to resist him, but Drake isn't used to taking no for an answer.
~Book Review~
4.25 Stars
Alexa Hewett, 20, attends
Blythe College while logging extra flight hours for her father’s business. Drake
Bennett, 21, has recently transferred to Blythe to play for their rugby team. Their paths cross a few times before they truly
meet and then things really take off.
Having had a bad experience in
her last relationship, Alexa is a little reluctant to get involved in something
serious. Drake sees what he wants and goes after it. And he’s determined to make her his girl even
if they have to take it slow.
While Drake has a few over
the top possessive alpha moments along with insta love, for the most part he
was a great catch. I loved how his eyes
never strayed and how devoted he was to her. Alexa had a few hot/cold moments
that I couldn’t get on board with but otherwise she was a likable character.
The best part of this book is
watching the romance develop between the two main characters—their dates, their
growing attraction, their private moments. Too often “romance” books skimp on
these parts but that doesn’t happen here. And when the duo take things to the
next level, it’s definitely hot.
“‘I need to watch you fly apart for me again.’”
The story is largely told via
Alexa’s first person point of view with just the epilogue told by Drake. It
would have been nice to have had more sections also told by him.
There’s some mild OW/OM drama
but both characters handled it well and stayed true to their feelings. That was
so refreshing. All in all, an enjoyable steamy new adult romance.
