The Ivy Years Part Two

Rate this book
Sarina Bowen's Ivy Years is my favorite New Adult series of all-time! -- Elle Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of The Deal

Part Two of The Ivy Years Collection contains two full-length novels:
The Shameless Hour (Ivy Years #4)
The Fifteenth Minute (Ivy Years #5)

The Shameless Hour
You met Bella in The Understatement of the Year. She was in love with hockey players in general and one very unavailable defenseman in particular. Could it be that Bella finds love on a different field of play? Her neighbor Rafe is everything she's not. Bella isn't looking for a hero, and he's not looking for a hookup. Do they have anything in common besides one unexpected night of passion?

The Fifteenth Minute
Just because Bella's neighbor is a movie star doesn't mean she's happy. Lianne Challice is the girl nobody takes the time to get to know. Except for D.J. Trevi, the troubled brother of the hockey team captain. Their lives are messier than a hockey brawl. But together they just might find what they need.

3.5 stars for "The Shameless Hour": Rafe is a sweetie and a gentleman.

3 stars for "The Fifteenth Minute" :
The negative points : it took me nearly half of the book to connect with this couple and the end dragged a bit for my taste.
The positive point : the emotions.

Loved The Ivy Years!!!

The Shameless Hour: Such angsty goodness!!! I love the push and pull in Bella and Rafe's story. I cried more than any other book in this series but by the end, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face!!

The Fifteenth Minute: OMG DJ and Lianne's book was amazing!! I read Rookie Move earlier this year and I loved DJ and Georgia's relationship. Reading this book makes me want to do a re-read of Leo's book so I can appreciate it more!!!

I read Part Two in a day, both books had me sucked in immediately. Props to Sarina for tackling some really hard subjects with such finesse!! Her characters are all so relatable, you want them to be your best friends! I only wish there was more to the epilogues! Can you tell I am having a hard time letting this series go? I want more!!

I love the characters

Not a traditional hockey romance…. But I love the story. It is realistic and it does make you think outside the box. I enjoyed every moment.
