A stand-alone college hockey romance in the Ivy Years world
Freshman Lianne Challice is known to millions of fans as Princess Vindi. But sometimes a silver screen sorceress just wants to hang up her wand, tell her manager to shove it, and become a normal college student. Too bad that’s harder than it looks.
She’s never lived a normal life. She hasn’t been to school since kindergarten. And getting close to anyone is just too risky — the last boy she kissed sold the story to a British tabloid.
But she can’t resist trying to get close to Daniel "DJ" Trevi, the hot, broody guy who spins tunes for hockey games in the arena. Something's haunting his dark eyes, and she needs to know more.
DJ's genius is for expressing the mood of the crowd with a ten second song snippet. With just a click and a fade, he can spread hope, pathos or elation among six thousand screaming fans.
Too bad his college career is about to experience the same quick fade-out as one of his songs. He can't get close to Lianne, and he can't tell her why. And the fact that she seems to like him at all? Incredible.

The one thing I can say for Bowen and the Ivy Years series: It's like Degrassi, it goes there. A very important topic was discussed and illustrated in this book -- sexual consent. I was talking about this book with my college aged daughter, and she thought it was great that there was information about Title 9 discussed, and attention given to such an important topic.
Now, the story. This story brought together DJ and Liane. Both were having a rather miserable year at Harkness, yet together, it was better. These two were quite adorable. They helped each other dig deep, and express their worries and fears, and they also supported each other. I loved seeing Liane come out of her shell, and DJ was just so sweet and supportive. I also loved the way Bowen dropped the names of all of our favorite past heroes and heroines. Most made an appearance, but even those that were not physically there were mentioned (my fave -Corey!).
A fine addition to the Ivy Years series.
