UNDENIABLE

Bainbridge University, #4

by Andi Burns

Booker

I follow the rules. It’s what I do. In school, at church, on the ice, and definitely at home. Because if I follow all the rules, and do everything exactly the way I’m supposed to, no one will see everything I’m trying so hard to hide.

But he sees. No matter how good I think I am at playing it cool, at staying under the radar (gaydar?!), Ian sees me. It’s like he understands my head and my heart better than I do. And I can’t risk that. I can’t risk letting him see who I really am and what I really want.

Because no matter how much I want it, I can’t have it.

But I can’t escape him, either. All of our friends are coupled up, and he’s the TA in my Human Sexuality class. So, the first thing on my to-do list is to drop that class. And the second is stop crushing on Ian McBride.

Undeniable is a full-length M/M romance with a lovable jock, a sexy know-it-all, and lots of steam. It is the fourth inter-connected STANDALONE in the Bainbridge University Series and it follows Uncovered, Unknown, and Uninhibited. They are all standalones, but for the best reader experience, they should be read in order.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . UNDENIABLE (Bainbridge University, #4) . . . Intense M/M Romance: Rules Were Made to Be Broken! We step into the world of Bainbridge University, where our new adults embark on a new journey and make their way through it the best they can. At Bainbridge University, we meet four young men that have forged a bond between them that was more than the family they were born into.

This was an intense M/M romance that absolutely delivers! Undeniable centers on Booker, a lovable jock who lives by the rules—in school, on the ice, and at home. He follows them perfectly to hide who he really is and what he really wants. But then there's Ian McBride, the sexy know-it-all TA in Booker's Human Sexuality class, who sees Booker past the facade. It's like Ian understands Booker's head and heart better than he does, and Booker can't risk letting him in!

The tension is fantastic as Booker tries to escape Ian's pull—starting with dropping the class! With all their friends coupled up, avoiding the sexy TA is impossible. This story has a wonderful emotional depth dealing with self-acceptance, mixed with lots of steam. This fourth inter-connected standalone in the Bainbridge University Series is a definite must-read for fans of contemporary New Adult romance!

UNINHIBITED

Bainbridge University, #3

by Andi Burns

Whit

My first memory is of breaking my mom’s heart. Yea, people know me as the good-time guy, the guy with the jokes, the deejay who's always up for a party. But underneath all of that, I’m the guy who lets people down wherever I go.

The one person who sees past all my bullshit is Lucy. She always has, since we were thirteen and she hated my guts. But I’ve never hated her. Lucy is my ideal in every way-- gorgeous and funny and smart and takes no shit with an ass that won’t quit. Too bad she’s also my stepsister.

But don’t worry, ma. Nothing to see here. Afterall, Lucy can’t stand me, so when we go roadtripping together, nothing will happen, right?

Except it does. And neither one of us is ready for the fallout.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . UNINHIBITED (Bainbridge University, #3) . . .  We step into the world of Bainbridge University. Our new adults embark on a new world and make their way through it the best they can. At Bainbridge University, we meet four young men that have forged a bond between them that was more than the family they were born into. This time we meet Whit. Whit and Lucy have a history unlike that of the other brothers in the chapel. 

Whit finds himself 13-year-old and share a confidence with a 13-year-old Lucy. The two of them meet in summer camp over next several years. The cement a friendship that could have been more, but one of them have some strong future goals. This ends what could have been growing between the two. Years later is where we find Whit in all his glory. He is not very motivated in his direction, but he can cook, he is a great friends, and he love his mom. And he has mental health issues. These issues are touched upon in the story but not beat to death. I am not sure if that was a good or bad thing. That matter of mental health can create an issue. I think the way Andi has it works with this story. 

Lucy. She is a different subject matter. She felt that her goals for life were the only thing. She had plans to be something more. She had her steps planned out. She never and he never anticipated they would see each other again so soon. One evening. One party. One morning after. Two phone calls to two people brings them both back into each other orbit on a regular basis. 

Watching the two of them grow more together was beautiful. Their struggles and disappointments were shared. They were indeed friends. Friends that became more. Their bond was strong and drove each to do that extra to show support to the other. 

Thank you Andi. I am so anticipating the next brother's story. I have had a delightful journey with the first three brothers.

UNKNOWN

Bainbridge University, #2

by Andi Burns

BLURB

Knox 

I learned early in life that love is an illusion-- it’s a tool people use to get what they want. I never trusted anyone until I met the three guys that would become my best friends, my true family. 

Aside from them, I’ve kept my guard up...until her. 

The last week of our senior year in high school, I fell hard and fast for a girl I had no business wanting. We spent one incredible night together...and then, nothing. I awoke alone the next morning with no trace of her in my bed. 

To say I’ve been fucking up my life ever since is an understatement. I come from chaos, so that's what I’ll become. There was only one time I thought I had a shot at something better and...well, look how that turned out. 

So, I’ll party my way through college, and worry about the consequences later. 

But unexpectedly, the woman I fell for turns back up in my life, and it turns out that our night together had consequences of its own.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . UNKNOWN (Bainbridge University, #2) . . .  We step into the world of Bainbridge University. Our new adults embark on a new world and make their way through it the best they can. At Bainbridge University, we meet four young men that have forged a bond between them that was more than the family they were born into.  In Unknown we experience life through Knox's eyes. Life had taught him early what to expect and love was not real. Then life shows him another lesson. Will he learn his lesson? Or will the early lessons win out?

Knox was lost and out of control. He did have a compass. He was self-aware. He just could not stop. He was spiraling and his friends/brothers knew it. The was so much damage and neglect that he could not see his way past it all, except. There were two exceptions. Soon to become three. His little brother, Rona, his lost love, Willa, and one beautiful surprise, Rose. 

Willa find that her already hectic, unsettled world becomes bearable with the meeting of Knox the last few days of school. The two of them find a connection. The connection takes them on a whirlwind of meeting. They connected and bond on a soul deep level. All this changes with one action of someone we don't even get to meet. The pushes Willa to run. All of that gets compounded by the actions of another very spiteful person. That puts Willa on a new and very different path for her life. 

Willa and Knox find their way into each other lives again eighteen months later. This brings some heavy emotions of shock, jealousy, anger, hatred, concern, confusion, and love. Love pure and strong. 

What I did not like about the story was the timeline and age issue. I find myself drawn in by details. For Knox to have been only a year younger than Ty, he should have been 20. That means a year and half before could he have been 18. I don't know why my head gets stuck with ages, dates, and time lapses. That is my cross to bare when I read. It did not spoil the story for me.

READ-2-REVIEW - NA CONTEMPORARY - UNCOVERED (Bainbridge University, #1) by Andi Burns

UNCOVERED

Bainbridge University, #1

by Andi Burns

BLURB

Phoebe James and I share a past…and it’s tragic.

To make things worse, she has no idea who I am or how our lives have intersected. 

I tell myself none of that matters. We’re attending the same university, but we’ll never see each other. Different years, different majors, and different social circles mean I can stay in the shadows and out of her way. 

Until I can’t. 

A few weeks into the semester, she needs a tutor, and I’m the only one available. 

But it’s fine. I can do my job without getting involved in her life, or getting lost in her pretty gray eyes. At least, that’s what I tell myself. All too soon, I'm falling hard for a woman I have no business wanting. She’s perfect for me in every way and loves me like no one else ever has. The problem is, I’m keeping a secret that will ruin everything. 

I need to tell her who I am--there’s no way around it. But I know that the moment I do, I'll break her heart beyond repair. And she’ll shatter mine, too.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . UNCOVERED (Bainbridge University, #1) . . . We step into the world of Bainbridge University. Our new adults embark on a new world and make their way through it the best they can. At Bainbridge University, we meet four young men that have forged a bond between them that was more than the family they were born into. Our first stand-up guy was Ty. Ty had the world on his shoulders. He was young, wealthy, and in a family that did not see him until it suited them. We tap the screen to watch as Ty's story unfolds. His story would be nothing without Phoebe. 

Phoebe and Ty shared a tragic past, only one knew about the connection. Phoebe's world changed with the actions of someone she never met. Ty's conscience and heart would not allow for the tragic incident to destroy the bright future that could have been ahead of the young girl, Phoebe. With time and patience Ty was able to make some moves to get the young woman, now, to have a chance at the future she had planned for herself years ago. 

Phoebe's world changed the day her brother died. Her world was still upended by the deeds of others years later. Now, she has the chance to move forward with her life and dreams. In none of those dreams did she think she would have more than her hopes and dreams. Nothing prepared her for actually going to school, meeting new friends, making connections, needing a tutor, and falling in love. Nothing prepared her for her world to come crashing down around her again. 

Phoebe and Ty were interesting characters. I loved Ty because he was able to be more than what his family was. He had a heart and compassion. He was more than the rich and privileged. Phoebe had to learn to grow and fly. She took some hits and with time she was able to grow. 

The writing was good but there was something about some of the transitions and the way the ebook was formatted that threw me off. Even with these things I did enjoy the story enough to finish it.
