Boomerang by Noelle August

Boomerang (Boomerang Trilogy, #1)

by Noelle August

The first book in a sensational New Adult trilogy from Noelle August. Welcome to Boomerang.com, the dating site for the millennial gen with its no-fuss, no-commitments matchups, and where work is steamier than any random hook-up. Mia Galliano is an aspiring filmmaker. 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 co-worker dating. And second, they're now competitors for only one job at the end of summer. 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?

Although not my usual genre, I have read and enjoyed New Adult books from time to time and Boomerang is no exception. This is a fun, light and humorous read with characters I can relate too.

So what happens when two people hook-up, have differing opinions about what happened the night before, share a taxi ride to their mutual first days as interns, only to find out, they're going to be competing for a job? It's going to be complicated!

Ethan is a recent graduate from UCLA. He wants the job at Boomerang to help clear some students loans so he can apply to law school.
Mia is hoping to graduate soon and become a film-maker. She doesn't have any financial worries because her parents are wealthy and successful in their chosen fields. As an only child of accomplished parents, she wants to achieve her own success, and the internship with Boomerang is a springboard opportunity not to be missed.

Our young protagonists' expectations are crushed when they find out that their internship isn't quite what they expected. Add to that a “no-company dating” rule and we end up with a highly amusing romantic comedy which sizzles. The author does a fabulous job at building the sexual tension between Ethan and Mia as well as convincingly conveying a whole spectrum of emotions that they both have to learn to deal with in the adult world.

Boomerang is refreshing, entertaining and unputdownable. I'm looking forward to reading Rebound, the next installment from this series.
