BLOG TOUR REVIEW ~XO, ZACH BY KENDALL RYAN~

Title: xo, Zach

Author: Kendall Ryan

Release Date: January 23, 2018

MY RATING: 5 STARS

The first time we met was at a party.

Your ex arrived to show off the person he'd left you for last month, and you asked me to pretend to be your date. 

I was more than happy to help. You were attractive, smart and witty--and that kiss we shared? It left me wanting you for days. 

The second time we met was in my office on campus where we were both surprised to discover you were the new master’s degree student in poetry that I would be working with. You promised to be professional. I did no such thing.

The late nights and intense study sessions spent alongside you majorly throw me off my game. I want you, and I fight with myself daily over this fact. 

I know I'm crass, that my sexual innuendos and dirty mouth annoy you, but I live for those two bright spots of color in your cheeks. If that's the only reaction I can get out of you, I'll gladly take it. 

You hate Mondays so every Monday I slip an anonymous poem into your bag and your smile gets me through the week.

I think I'm falling for you, and I know it's wrong. I know that I'm only supposed to be your adviser and nothing more, but here's the thing. I think you're falling for me too. 

xo, Zach

I've been in a book slump from the past few very intense books I've read. I couldn't get out of it. I tried my favorite re-reads, I just new-to-me authors, but nothing worked except THIS BOOK. XO, ZACH offered the perfect amount of levity, emotion, and sexiness to get me back in my reading game. Poppy and Zach were two wildly different characters, but they complemented each other like ying and yang. Zach is a force to be reckoned with. He speaks dirty talk fluently, while also living his best life, with aspirations to boot. Poppy is more practical, and given her circumstances and her life, she has to be. But what Zach teaches her is that you can be practical while also living the life you deserve. These two dedicated souls brought out a whilrwind of emotion in this book and let's admit it, their time between the sheets is over-the-top steamy as well. All-in-all this book is exactly what I needed to get lost in an amazing fictional world.

Happy Reading!
