Ethan Vance has just played his last game as a collegiate soccer star. They’re sharp, hungry for success, and they share a secret.
Last night, Ethan and Mia met at a bar, and, well . . . one thing led to another, which led to them waking up the next morning—together. Things turned awkward in a hurry when they found themselves sharing a post-hookup taxi . . . to the same place: Boomerang headquarters.
What began as a powerful connection between them is treated to a cold shower, courtesy of two major complications. First, Boomerang has a strict policy against coworkers dating. And second, they’re now competing for the same job opening in the fall.
As their internships come to an end, will they manage to keep their eyes on the future and their hands off each other, or will the pull of attraction put them right back where they started?
TAKE ME AWAY…
AFTER DARK!
*This book is part of the new adult contemporary romance genre! It is more mature than both YA. I have featured it in Take Me Away… After Dark as a way to feature the few Adult and New Adult titles I am beginning to read!”

Mia and Ethan together were a different story. They were magic together. But, you won’t see that until the end of the novel. Most of the book is spent trying to keep their distance from each other. But I won’t lie and say that they succeed. There are some times they slip up and find themselves in the arms of each other and I can’t tell you how much I had to put the book down for a little bit. Ethan is super hot and so sweet with Mia. I loved getting those glimpses of them together. But sometimes it was like torture. Like during the “office scene” I wanted something to happen RIGHT THERE so bad, but of course, it was ruined. I really hated their interruption for the rest of the book lol

Lastly, there’s the writing style. I thought of this book like a hilarious movie playing out in my mind. It was absolutely hilarious. I found myself reading it at the gym and getting dirty looks from people that seemed so upset that I wasn’t feeling the burn. I’m sure they were thinking “Seriously, who’s that happy at the gym…” but that’s beside the point. This book had me laughing in the weirdest places.

It’s not normal that I write in all caps so often in my reviews, so clearly this book was something special. I loved the characters, the realistic writing style, and the relationship Ethan and Mia share. Noelle August (who I just found out is Veronica Rossi and Lorin Oberweger!) make for a hilariously, sexy New Adult novel that everyone can enjoy.
