I read this for Romance Book Bingo: Interracial couple square. I feel really bad about this, but Courtney Milan's foray into New Adult Contemporary is not my jam. I almost DNFed this book a couple of times while reading. The two protagonists were not compelling or believable as a couple. The main pl...
Tina Chen is 20, from a poor family and going to college at Berkley. Blake Reynolds is rich and goes to the same college. Blake is famous from his childhood commercials and his father owns Cyclone Systems. His dad's company produces computers. On his way to campus, he splashes her white cashmere swe...
Tina Chen just wants a degree and a job, so her parents never have to worry about making rent again. She has no time for Blake Reynolds, the sexy billionaire who stands to inherit Cyclone Systems. But when he makes an offhand comment about what it means to be poor, she loses her cool and tells him h...
This book inspires me with a near-fanatical devotion. The prose is lovely, the characters rich and compelling -- and not just the protagonists, but the secondary characters as well. There's an air of fear and secrets and desperation to survive that is almost Gothic in intensity, even as our hero and...
JAMÁS pensé que diría esto de un libro new adult, peeero a este libro le falta drama. TODO se soluciona muy fácilmente, y ¿cuál es la emoción en eso?La historia comienza bien pero pronto perdí el interés. Tina y Blake son buenos personajes, pero a medida que avanza la historia ese mismo detalle es e...
I hate to bash it but Trade Me just sorta bored me. Except for a few stand out moments the drama felt manufactured and I was left underwhelmed. Also, despite much (oh, so much) time spent in both main character's heads, I didn't felt invested in them separately or as a couple! Ugh, so disappointed! ...
Disclaimer! I was given an ARC of this through NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review. Of course, it being a Courtney Milan book, I had also already pre-ordered it, because I will buy anything she writes, even if said thing is a scientific treatise on spiders and cockroaches (the things ...
♥♥♥ Courtney Milan usually writes historical romance, and when I heard she was doing a contemporary story I wasn't worried at all, because I knew she would rock it. And she did! I loved this! Tina puts Blake in his place and I just wanted to jump up and cheer. When those other people were making sn...
I received copy of this book for an honest review. I enjoy reading Courtney Milan books. My Kindle and Nook collections are filled with a number of her historical romances. Never have I read any of her contemporary romances though. Therefore I was thrilled to read this one. Ms. Milan did not di...
Like so many other people, I love love love Courtney Milan and her historical romance (even as my patience with historicals has waned in the past year), and so when I heard she was writing a contemporary New Adult with, of all things, a billionaire hero, I gave Trade Me the Skeptical Side Eye even a...
