Relationships are put to the ultimate test as future dreams are questioned and friendships are thrown on the line for love.
Review:
Fever is the first book in the Songbird
series by Melissa Pearl. It's a brand new New Adult novel about
finding yourself and finding true love. This book is about a young
woman named Ella, who moves across the country to attend the college
that her boyfriend wants her to. Her boyfriend David has all these
plans for his life – that include her – and since she doesn't
really know what she wants to do she goes along with anything David
wants. However, once she joins David at college – she meets someone
else. Someone that likes the same things as Ella, and someone who
truly gets her and her love of music.
Ella is a pretty weak heroine – but
one that I kind of identified with. She is shy and timid like I am. I
understood her fears and why she is the way that she is. She
desperately needs comfort and stability in her life – and David
gives her that. After 3 years, she has never thought about dating
another man. David is the only man that she has been intimate with,
and after meeting his friend Cole she realizes that there aren't any
sparks between her and David anymore. She is very attracted to Cole.
And then she is attracted to the singing voice that she hears on the
other side of the shower wall in the co-ed dorms. It confuses her so
much to be thinking about other men. Only, she doesn't know that the
person she hears singing is her boyfriend's best friend Cole.
Cole is a great guy. He is handsome and
sweet. There are major sparks between him and Ella. He also hears
Ella singing in the shower and can't get her out of his head. They
have so much in common and are perfect for each other in every way.
Though, they both feel guilty over their feelings for each other
because of David. I personally didn't like David at all.
There are a couple of steamy sex scenes
in this book but they aren't overly descriptive. I thought the ending
was a little abrupt – I wanted a little bit more! It was a great
story and I'll definitely be reading the other books in this series.
Sounds like the next book will be about Ella's friend Morgan. If you
like New Adult contemporary romances, then I definitely recommend
this book!
