My Rebound

My review is written voluntarily after listening to the audio version of this book.

This is Makenzie and Pacey's story, we first met them in book one My One Night, Makenzie being the long-time girlfriend of Sanders one of five guys sharing a house on College Row.

Makenzie and Sanders have been together they liked to say "almost from the cradle" she had her entire life planned out but then all her plans are forced to change when she discovers Sanders with another girl. Obviously, she's hurt but now she has to figure out how to cope when all her plans are now in ashes.

I must admit that on first meeting Pacey he wasn't someone I wanted to know better he seemed top aloof but when MacKenzie seems to be unwilling or unable to move on he offers to help her by being her Rebound. But as we already know things don't always go to plan, sometimes fate throws us a curveball.

As Pacey and Mackenzie's personal lives being to draw closer together both of them have to face changes, he has to come to terms with changes within his family, he also has to learn to let people in and not be so insular, something Mackenzie helps him realise. Whilst she has to face the fact that not only her love life has to change she will have to face changes in her academic life too. All her plans will need to be redrawn!

As they explore the changes in their lives both together and apart, they have to come to terms with their feelings for each other are they going to just be friends with benefits or have they found something real? The connection they form is definitely one neither can ignore but will it stand the test of time?

I enjoyed this thought-provoking, steamy read which held my attention with ease from beginning to end.

The narration of this book by Emma Wilder and Shane East is very well done, they each perform wonderfully lifting this wonderful story to an even higher level.

Book 2 in On My Own series by Carrie Ann Ryan
Mackenzie is devastated in previous book when she finds her boyfriend cheating on her.
Mackenzie knows they guys in the house because she was dating a housemate and this is how she meets the women who are friends or girlfriend of the lads in house.
Pacey is a English/American student living with the lads and hates how Mackenzie has been treated and offers to be her rebound.
Neither of them expected more to come of this arrangement but special things happen very quickly between them.
I was sure how you get a English sounding man called Pacey (not a typical English name) but this is explain and I do love it.
I feel for Pacey in this book especially when I comes to unrequited love that I feel was slightly blamed on Pacey but he was a perfect gentleman and feel he did get blamed for things he didn’t do or encourage.
I usually listen to audiobook quite fast but to fully savour this book I listen to really slowly.
Shane East and Emma Wilder are one of the best narrators and I think this was a dual narration not a duet but at some points I wasn’t sure because the narration was just that good.
Absolutely love Carrie Ann Ryan you can not get the same pleasure, anguish, tears and heartbreak all in same book.

This was another great instalment in the On My Own series, getting to know the characters more and their interactions and connections. Mackenzie we know as she was dating one of the boys roommates, but since that blew up... she is looking for a rebound to be able to move on. Pacey knows Mackenzie from the house and considers her a friend... and aren’t you supposed to help friends!?

This is an enjoyable instalment in these college set, coming of age, romance adventures. The stories are building in depth and intrigue as we get to know all the characters better, making a richer story and making you impatient to find out more and get the next instalment!

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
