I came into this new-to-me genre with some general ideas of what to expect: fresh out of college, trying to figure out where life is going, etc. This book lived up to that idea in an authentic way. It's written first person, so we only see what Cali is going through and it brought up all kinds of memories for me of what that age was like, the worry and stress and almost innocence to life. Also the thrill and anxiety of striking out on your own and supporting yourself. The heat level of this novel was very mild. Not exactly closed door, but not explicit or drawn out sexual situations. There's attraction and sexual tension, but most of the relationship lives as an emotional entity instead of raw lust. Always fooled by a pretty cover. It never, ever fails. =( The premise isn't so bad either from the description, but...I knew it would have contentions from that. Just not to the level that was actually taken in this book. It's not the worst NA title I've read, but I think it really dropped the ball, which saddens me.

Only, my plans are beginning to unravel, and now, visions of Jaeger's hard abs, broad shoulders, and intense green eyes fill my head.You can buy Cross the Line here, and prepare to fall just as head-over-heels as Phoebe and Nate themselves! The Chase by Elle Kennedy Meet Phoebe West: she’s been in love with her brother’s best friend, Nate, for years, and all her pining has led to absolutely nothing. Meet Nate, the subject of Phoebe’s crush: he has feelings for her too, feelings that he has to keep hidden. He doesn’t think he’ll be good for Phoebe, and there are some lines that you just can’t cross. But everything changes when Phoebe falls into unexpected danger, and the only person who can protect her is Nate. Lines are about to be crossed. Since the characters annoyed me from the start and only got worse as the book progressed the romance itself between Jaeger and Cali fell flat for me as well. I didn't care if they got together. Honestly, I kept wondering what Jaeger saw in Cali besides her being physically attractive to him. Cali I kept thinking was too immature and not ready for the kind of serious relationship with Jaeger that she kept telling the reader she wants or that they're building. She comes across as a girl flirting with a hot guy to have some fun...which is something that I would think Jaeger would eschew given his claims to regret certain parts of his past. The only thing that caught my interest was this idea that they both had clear cut plans for their lives and then had to adjust when those plans didn't pan out. Unfortunately, that felt like a minor foot note, despite Cali's constant waffling between "should I or shouldn't I" go to law school. Kendall Ryan’s guilty pleasure romance reads are the literary love stories that we’ve all been waiting for: intelligent heroines and confident heroes, snappy dialogue, and fun-to-read storylines.

As others have mentioned, the handling of sexual abuse at their job is disgusting. Why were there no police reports filed? No complaints made to management in a place that supposedly has cameras everywhere which would give proof? This is an absolute abomination. Not to mention, a subplot that never went anywhere. It was 100% not necessary. Oh, the web we spine in our youth. Cali, at twenty-one, believes she is going in one direction with her life and moves with her best friend Gen to Lake Tahoe, working in a casino to make money for the future.
