About this listen
New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy brings her signature angst, drama, and humour to a new standalone romance.
When nineteen-year-old Abbey Bly gets the opportunity to study abroad for a year in London, it's the perfect chance to finally slip out from under the thumb of her beloved but overbearing retired rock star father. She's ready to be free, to discover herself - but first off, to meet the girls she's rooming with. That is, until she arrives at her gorgeous new flat to discover those roommates are actually all boys. Charming, funny, insufferably attractive boys. And off-limits, with a rule against fraternizing between housemates after unwanted drama with the previous girl.
Abbey has never considered herself a rulebreaker. But soon, she's lying to her father about her living situation and falling for not one, but two men she can't have: her rugby-player roommate and a broody musician with a girlfriend. Not to mention, her research for school has gotten her tangled in a deeply hidden scandal of a high nobility family, surrounding her in secrets on all sides.
If there's any hope of Abbey finding love, answers, or a future in London, she'll have to decide which rules - and hearts - might be worth breaking...

After a childhood spent being dragged around the country by her hockey coach father, Hayden Houston intends to take some time to figure out her future. Whether that future will include her currently off-again boyfriend remains to be seen. What it certainly won’t include is the for-one-night-only guy she just met at a bar.

Story
Mackenzie “Mac” Cabot is a people pleaser. Her demanding parents. Her prep school friends. Her long-time boyfriend. It’s exhausting, really, always following the rules. Unlike most twenty-year-olds, all she really wants to do is focus on growing her internet business, but first she must get a college degree at her parents’ insistence. That means moving to the beachside town of Avalon Bay, a community made up of locals and the wealthy students of Garnet College.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

Welcome to Sandover Prep, where the delinquents roam…and you can’t trust a soul. Finding out your mom is marrying some rich guy you’ve never met is enough to make any 18-year-old’s head spin. And for RJ Shaw, it gets worse: He’s being sent to Sandover Prep for senior year. If there’s one place a misfit hacker like RJ doesn’t belong, it’s an ivy-covered all-boys boarding school for rich delinquents.

Football is my everything. I live, eat, breathe the sport. But when I transfer to McKee University to escape the distractions that nearly cost me my future in the NFL, I’m faced with another consequence: retake and pass the writing class I failed at my last college, or lose any chance I have at making it big. That’s where fellow senior Beckett Wood—gorgeous, stubborn, and just my type—comes in. She’s the key to my success in this class… but the price of her help is a fake relationship, and I never do things halfway.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

That’s where fellow senior Beckett Wood—gorgeous, stubborn, and just my type—comes in. She’s the key to my success in this class… but the price of her help is a fake relationship, and I never do things halfway.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

A super cute start to a fun new series
👉🏻 Read if you like: coming of age stories, UK setting, love triangles, strong friendships, underlying mysteries
What was so fun about this book is the merging of several unique genres including romance, friendship fiction, mystery and women’s fiction but all within the umbrella of New Adult. After all, at its core, this is a coming of age story about a young woman navigating her way through the world with newfound independence.
While love triangles are, admittedly, not my favorite trope, I had a clear preference in this one and as a result, that preference gave me a rooting interest. At a certain point I was racing to the end, desperate to know what would become of our MCs. I felt so personally invested in my favorite pairing and would not accept any other resolution. Thankfully things worked out as I had hoped.
With strong themes of friendship, a steamy romance scene or two (okay maybe more 😉) and that feeling of fresh adulthood and all the wonderful experiences that go along with that, Elle Kennedy has the perfect recipe for a fun new romance series. I do not know if this is set to be a series, but boy do I sure hope it is.

Wanted to live this!
I have been eagerly waiting for this new Elle Kennedy book and honestly skipped to the last chapters cause I was bored and just wanted to know who she ended up with… honestly half way thru and I was so bored… my all time fav is The Deal and between the single POV narration and the dragged on storyline I so disappointed… hoping the Dixon Rule dose not disappoint… Graham Effect was amazing! But maybe author needs to stick to hockey romances

Ok Story. Not What I Was Hoping For
The premise sounded fun. I was ready something lighthearted.
The story was ok. A good first draft. Some a little off or unbelievable. Loved the idea of a Rock Star Dad, but he was a cardboard cutout. And she went back & forth between being a simple country gal and being a rich man’s daughter. Both felt flat. I liked the mystery and finding out facts - nice development. But some felt rushed. I did like the way she had lots of female friends she interacted with.
Narration was awful. As the main character it was barely ok. Some mispronounced words sets your teeth on edge. A flat tone. Definitely reading it, like reading a book aloud in class. She did not bring life to the character or the story. The male characters were dreadful. And since they are in London, most characters should have British accent, or one an Australian accent. Totally missed on all accents. The worst kind of stereotype - I am using what I think it should be because I heard one on TV. Not hard to get an actor that has real accent or does them better. These were key characters.
Wouldn’t waste a credit. Try it if you have KU.

Cute story, interesting characters
I love Elle Kennedy books but I struggled with this one due to the narrator. The accents were off putting and the main character came off even younger than the 19 years she is in the book.

I love that there was no clear ending in sight. With all the twists and turns I just had to keep reading to figure out the mystery and who she’d end up with. It was touch and go for a while and very entertaining that there was no clear “winner”. I’d very much like a book about Jamie now.

Wish I Loved This
I just want to preface this by saying I am a massive Elle Kennedy fan. I own multiple physical, audio, and kindle versions of her books. This particular book just completely missed the mark for me. I wish I loved it, because I preordered a signed copy, but it was just a huge miss.
This story is a single, first person POV told from the perspective of Abbey Bly, a 19 year old girl who is studying abroad in London for her sophomore year of college. We quickly learn that Abbey is the daughter of a massive rockstar turned overprotective father. He does not want her to study abroad, but Abbey feels like she needs to be out on her own for once in her life and have an adventure. This adventure happens to include a love triangle, a scandal with a Lord, and a fair amount of angst.
The premise is great and it all sounds very promising. But as the story is told, it just fell so absolutely flat. The main issue I had was with the love triangle. I prefer a love triangle to a why choose, but this was mostly a why choose with her decision coming in literally the last chapter of the book. Abbey goes on and on about how she needs to choose one, but she feels the exact same way about both boys for 99% of it. The book is an extremely quick read and with that, I feel like there was not enough time to get to know each of the boys and actually form an opinion as to who she should choose. I wasn’t even devastated for one of them in the end because they were practically the same person, but with different fonts. Just two boys with commitment issues. We did not get to see her and the boy she chooses together without a third party in the mix until the epilog, and that basically just gave us a recap of a trip they took together.
Abbey is a bit of a pick me girl. She is constantly saying that she has ordinary looks and is nothing special, but almost every guy in the book wants to be with her. She’s also a nerd who loves libraries and history and has almost no female friends at all. She is also constantly complaining about how she doesn’t want people to know about her father and wants to have her own adventures, but then immediately tells the group of friends who her father is and tells grand stories about him constantly.
This book reads like a YA, but it does contain mature scenes with both boys separately. There is defiantly cheating in this book too, if not physical than emotional with intent to act.
This audio version would have been much better with a bigger cast. One female doing the voices of many men with different accents made it a little hard to figure out who was speaking. She did a good job on the accents though. I could immediately tell someone was Australian. It also came across a little like she was just reading from a page rather than telling her own story. It just fell flat.
Overall, if you don’t mind a quick read why choose disguised as a love triangle, this could be the book for you. I am a bit disappointed by this one though and I sadly won’t be rereading any time soon. It was just missing the classic Elle Kennedy banter and spark that she has within her Off Campus and Briar U series’.

Great story and development of characters
I very much enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator was excellent and I loved the different accents. The story is well developed and I enjoyed how it all came together. I need the next book to find out about the other flat mates, particularly Jamie!

Narrator is so good
The narrator on this audio book is so good. All her different accents flowed seamlessly. Love triangle, this is not a why choose, she definitely chooses. Abby annoyed me at times. Like she lied to her dad a whole bunch and then couldn’t get past Jack having not told her something? Idk she needed to calm down about that. She also annoyed me when she said she didn’t make Nate break up with Ivonne, but she legit told Nate she wouldn’t hook up with him while he was with Ivonne. Lol! Like I understand she didn’t explicitly say to Nate “I want you to break up with Ivonne”
But some on, the context clues are there. I had such bad anxiety throughout this whole book, like who tf is she gonna pick? And I was happy with the HEA. *spoilers ahead* how did we get a full Nate sex scene and not a full on Jack sex scene? That irritated me lol
