Your new Must Read Series: The Ivy Years by Sarina Bowen
I'm in love with a new adult series. I know – I never thought I'd say those words. I actually scrunch up my nose and shake my head when someone tells me to read a new adult series. Usually because the new adults I've tried are filled with the most ridiculous angst and I feel old reading them (although I will say, there is a reference to the hero's mom watching Melrose Place when she was pregnant with him that made me feel old.

Reed and Darcy have a very fun dynamic in this book - Reed has been lusting after Darcy for some time, but she was dating his friend AJ (who gets book three), so he kept his distance - but then Continue Reading
