About this ebook

SHE’S WRITING ABOUT HIM. HE’S WRITING ABOUT HER. AND EVERYBODY IS READING BETWEEN THE LINES.

For Erin Blackwell, majoring in creative writing at the New York City college of her dreams is more than a chance to fulfill her ambitions—it’s her ticket away from the tragic memories that shadow her family’s racehorse farm in Kentucky. But when she refuses to major in business and take over the farm herself someday, her grandmother gives Erin’s college tuition and promised inheritance to their maddeningly handsome stable boy, Hunter Allen. Now Erin has to win an internship and work late nights at a local coffee shop to make her own dreams a reality. She should despise Hunter . . . so why does he sneak into her thoughts as the hero of her latest writing assignment?

Then, on the day she’s sharing that assignment with her class, Hunter walks in. He’s joining her class. And after he reads about himself in her story, her private fantasies about him must be painfully clear. She only hopes to persuade him not to reveal her secret to everyone else. But Hunter devises his own creative revenge, writing sexy stories that drive the whole class wild with curiosity and fill Erin’s heart with longing. Now she’s not just imagining what might have been. She’s writing a whole new ending for her romance with Hunter . . . except this story could come true.

Ratings and reviews

Last I had read 'Going too Far' and 'Forget You' by Jennifer Echols. I had liked those stories. So I was excited to read 'Love Story' by her. The title as it is, is very cheesy. But do not be fooled by it. The story and concept I thought are bit refreshing than the other romance novels I have read which are very few because I don't do romance novels much. The emotional conflicts between the main characters Erin and Hunter are amazingly written. It was like watching a ping pong match. Both the characters were realistic. I also appreciated the side characters Manohar, Summer, Jordis and Brian. The thing that surprises me more is how Jennifer manages to write the clashes between the main characters in new ways in all her books. When I started this book I was like "Here we go again with the fighting." But I was curious to see how it goes in the end so I read it and I loved this book more than the others I have read of Jennifer so far. I loved to learn the creative writing skills that were thought to Erin and her classmates. It really helped me think about what I had in my mind about the work in progress writing I am doing. I hope everyone else who reads this book enjoys it as much as I did.

Ending was strange. Wanted to know his reaction to the love story. And if they actually worked out. It kind of just ended... but the rest of the book was a great read

It was easy to read and follow, but not something I would want to read again. On the plus side it was nice to read something that didn't involve sex on every other page
