Vermont was never in Audrey Kidder’s travel plans. He doesn’t have time for the sorority girl who’s shown up expecting to buy his harvest at half price. Even his enormous shoulders feel the strain of supporting his mother, three siblings and a dotty grandfather. But that was a lifetime ago.Īt twenty-seven, Griff is now the accidental patriarch of his family farm. Five years ago they’d shared a couple of steamy nights together.

It’s the equivalent of a glassful of champagne after a long ass week. “The Shameless Hour” is a five friggin’ stars book – especially after all the shit I read prior to re-taking up The Ivy Years series.

I’m in love with Rafael “Rafe” Santiago.Hopefully, through the stories you write and tell, Sarina Bowen, we all will, someday, understand that love is love is love.

Social and gender-based double standards are frustrating. While some aspects of her life are ideal (i.e., great friends such as Rafe, Lianne, Graham, Rikker, and the rest of the Harkness men’s hockey team wealthy family), she epitomizes a reality that is, sadly, still true today. I think anyone who’s ever been bullied in school, no matter if they were bullied in small/”funny” or in large/immoral/illegal/unethical ways, can relate to Bella. Behold: Me, a quirky book nerd slash blogger – and the result of traumatizing bullying and fat-shaming. Author Tammara Webber described it as “a gift to anyone who’s ever been slut-shamed.” I, for one, while having never had the distinction of being a slut or a sexual person in general and in real life, can oddly relate.

The fourth book in the series, “ The Shameless Hour,” is, thus far, my favorite.

Said brain was so completely rocked out that it took me 3 days to dig myself out of my Harkness College obsession and write this ode soliloquy to you. You are, currently, rocking my brain out of its skeletal confinement. Sarina Bowen, where have you been all my life? The Ivy Years books are THE books to beat, in my estimation.So hooked that I had to (finally) re-charge my e-reader and write down my awesome-sauce type of thoughts, which are enumerated below: Confession: I just finished reading books 1 to 2.5 in the last week. However, I read “Understatement of the Year” out of sequence. I read the third book in “The Ivy Years” series last year and enjoyed it immensely.
