Crossing the Line by Katie McGarryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This little novella was tacked onto the end of an ARC of Take Me On. The characters were introduced in the first book of the series, Pushing the Limits.
McGarry is expert at following YA characters faced with fear, emotional damage and the consequences of their actions both good and bad. She does the same thing here and it's wonderful. The story, although a novella, didn't feel rushed at all. There was less depth, sure, but overall a heart-warming peek at some likable characters. I was cheering them on, especially in one scene that involved retribution for stupidity. You have to love it when the girl gets the guy - and not in the traditional sense.
I really hope they do a cover change on these books. They are obviously marketed to girls even though the subject matter is often interesting to both male and female audiences. Just because it's a romance doesn't mean guys wouldn't enjoy things like kickboxing and cars.
