Review
The End Zone by L.J. Shen
“On the eighth night, the girl gave
the boy her heart.”
My
favorite stories have always been those of best friends who fall in love, now
add one of the best authors and perfect formula.
The
stories of Leigh always hook you from the first page, I do not know how she
does but, they always have all the elements to make you devour them in an
instant and this was no exception, sexy, fun, tender, romantic, hot, with that
unique touch that the author gives to her readings. And especially in this one,
I love the tenderness of the characters, it made me squeeze the heart.
“You’re in my blood, in my veins, in
my fucking soul. You’re in my heart and in my fingertips and on my fucking lips
like a prayer. You’re fucking everywhere, Jolie Louis. Always have been, always
will be.”
I loved,
I loved the prologue, it still makes me weep, it's one of the best prologues
I've read.
In this
novel, we got to meet Sage and Jolie. They are best friends since they were 10
years and now in college they are roommates.
Sage is
the quarterback of his team, and his description only made me drool
uncontrollably, (like all Leigh's male characters), sexy, hot, the wet dream of
any woman, needless to say that he has all the women at his feet already passed
by more than half of the female population.
The man looks like the love child of
Matthew Noszka and James Dean.
Jolie is
a beautiful girl who is always there to support Sage.
They are
attracted to each other, but they fear to destroy their friendship if they act
on it, above all, Jolie, thinks that since Sage is a manwhore he will not take her
seriously.
But, the
attraction is undeniable, and boom explodes in such a way, that you will love
the scenes between the characters, sexy, hot, spontaneous combustion.
I love
the friendship between them, how they protect and take of each other's back, I
love the way they know and know everything about each other. I loved how Leigh
handled the times and despite being short gave us glimpses of their past and
how the relationship between the protagonists evolved. I loved Sage's overprotection
for Jojo. And the unconditionality of both.
She squeezed hard; he inhaled harder.
He jerked her to his body, buried his head in the crook of her shoulder, and
shook with tears she couldn’t see.
And that
epilogue I loved. I would have loved a little more of the two of them.
If you
like short, sexy love stories with friends this is perfect for you.
“That good. I never thought it could
feel like this.” “Like what?” He takes my wrist and presses it against his
pouty, perfect lips. “Like forever.”

Adriana Locke:
A contemporary romance author running on coffee and sticky kisses from my rowdy four little boys.
From Indiana, I’m a true Mid-Westerner. Life, for me, is about family, faith, and food. When I’m not running my kiddos around or having a lunch date of fajitas with my husband (and high school sweetheart), you can find me outside. I love a good sunny day almost as much as I love candy, random quotes, and steamy bad boys in fantastic books.
I’m on nearly every social media platform. Please find me on the ones you frequent – I love chatting with readers.

Mandi Beck:
Mandi Beck has been an avid reader all of her life. A deep love for books always had her jotting down little stories on napkins, notebooks, and her hand. As an adult she was further submerged into the book world through book clubs and the epicness of social media. It was then that she graduated to writing her stories on her phone and then finally on a proper computer.
A nursing student, mother to two rambunctious and somewhat rotten boys, and stepmom to two great girls away at college, she shares her time with her husband in Chicago where she was born and raised. Mandi is a diehard hockey fan and blames the Blackhawks when her deadlines are not met.

Emma Scott:
I write romances with flawed characters, characters with artistic hearts: builders, poets, and writers of various makes and models. I love to write book lovers; those who have found refuge, companionship, and escape in books, much as we do in real life. I like realism, honesty, authenticity in storytelling. I love to write about enduring love, soul-deep love, in as real a setting as I can make, but with big smooshy HEAs. I believe in diversity, open-mindedness, and inclusion. I like sweetness mixed with steam, love conquering all, and above all, hope. Love always wins.

Meghan Quinn:
A BLONDE AT HEART
Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Kate Stewart lives in Charleston, S.C. with her husband, Nick, and her naughty beagle, Sadie. A native of Dallas, Kate moved to Charleston three weeks after her first visit, dropping her career of 8 years, and declaring it her creative muse. Kate pens messy, sexy, angst-filled contemporary romance as well as romantic comedy and erotic suspense because it's what she loves as a reader. A lover of all things '80s and '90s, especially John Hughes films and rap, she dabbles a little in photography, can knit a simple stitch scarf for necessity only and does a horrible job of playing the ukulele. Aside from running a mile without collapsing, traveling is the only other must on her bucket list. On occasion, she does very well at vodka.
