I really wanted to like this book. The beginning was so promising that I thought that it could be the next Wallbanger. Unfortunately, this did not happen.
My major problem with Someone To Love was Cruise's voice. It did not sound like a guy's POV to me. While Kendall was bouncing between entertaining and sometimes annoying, Cruise just sounded like a girl. When I read chapters written from his POV, I couldn't believe it's a guy's voice. Or well, I must be used to the macho guys too much :-)

After getting his heartbroken, Cruise starts to play the field. He has developed quite a reputation. He meets Kendall at a party. She is new to school and he feels a spark right away. She does too.

Just a 3 star read for me but:
This is my first Addison Moore read and I have to say, I kept getting distracted by thoughts of which genre her writing style would fit best. Because holy hells this woman can write, but it felt like an awkward fit for this kind of story. When she wants to be evocative and poetic she pulls it off really well and when she wants to be light-hearted and funny, she doesn't end up trying, she WILL make stuff come out of your nose.

This one was kind of a mixed bag for me. There was a lot that I liked. At times, it heartwarming and even swoony. Cruise was sexy as hell, and for a "player" he turned out to be a big 'ol ball of romantic marshmallow sweetness.
Kendall had some truly funny lines, and had a sarcastic inner dialogue that left me smiling.
"Sorry, cowboy, I'm not into one-night stands either. I get it. I really do," I say, trying to maneuver my way from under him. "You're on a road show with your penis, and trust m ...more

I like romance novels to begin with, but this isn't the usual romance novel I usually read. I like the characters in the book. However the girl in the story (Kendall/Kenny)bugs me sometimes. The author does a good job at representing her age due to her personality and actions (i.e. dramatic, makes a lot of assumptions, "my world is ending") All of these traits accurately represent a 20 year old girl. But the character gets on my nerves with all of her assumptions!

What's not to like about this sweet sweet book about falling in love and finding your soul mate. At times the author was almost poetic with her writing, the storyline and plot were predictable but pleasant and easy to read, packed with plenty of heartwarming scenes.
An easy 3.5 stars.

I liked this story how it was told from alternating points of view. Loved getting a look inside the guys head for once I think it should be done more often.

La storia in se mi è pure piaciuta: Cruise è il principe azzurro perfetto, un finto play boy, un finto cattivo ragazzo, che da un passato burrascoso esce divino.
Kenny è una vergine per scelta. Una tontolona ma di quelle simpatiche, che ci sembra tale solo perché non ha fatto determinate esperienze.
Nonostante nel primo capitolo mi siano cadute le braccia per tutto quello che succede in modo troppo frettoloso, l'evolversi del libro mi è piaciuto.
Un inno all'amore in piena regola.

I rounded up because the beginning was hilarious.
When one of the first lines uttered by a main character is "You're on a road show with your penis, and trust me, I'm the last person who wants to get in your way. But I'm telling you, operation occupy-my-vagina is a no-go for the evening.", you have to continue just for the laughs.

This was free to read and listen to on KU, I listened to it. It was a light, and sweet story without any major angst.
I thought it was ok.

Addison Moore is one of my favorite authors, and I love her Beautiful Oblivion series, and I've also enjoyed her 3AM Kisses series. So, it pains me to have to rate one of her books a 3 star, but this one just didn't hit the mark for me.
I can't say I didn't enjoy reading it - because I did - but there were issues with the plot and the writing that impacted my enjoyment.

This book had some truly zinging one liners and witty remarks, some really cute dialogue all around, but the story was just a little long for me. The first half leading up to them getting together was steamy and hot. The "love" story actually gave them time to get to know one another whereas most romance novels give the characters two weeks to fall in love. However there was so much unnecessary drama. The side story with Cal and Lauren annoyed me, and it annoyed me that Kendall would tempt Cal w

I enjoyed this one...It was a sweet love story and a stand alone with no cliffhangers. Cruise and Kendall are likable characters. They both have some commitment issues and fear of love but they are good for each other and it was nice to see their relationship unfold...The story is written from alternating POVs which gives good insight and background for our h/h...The supporting characters were a bit dysfunctional and I really didnt connect with any of them but all in all this was a good read for

Someone to Love is a hot, steamy, sexy romance between two people who did not believe in the possibility of real love until they fell into each other.
Cruise had his heart broken by his cheating ex-girlfriend, someone he thought he loved and wanted to spend the rest of his life with. To avoid being hurt again, he decides love isn't the way...and sleeps his way through campus with any available female...but feels nothing.

I wanted to love this book, I really did. It just fell short for me a little bit. The connection between the two main characters wasn’t really believable and it didn’t have a lot of character development and what information it did give was kind of beat up and didn’t fit into the story smoothly.

Curse you, Goodreads, for not having half-star ratings yet! My actual rating is somewhere around 3.5 stars for this one. I read it very quickly - within 36 hours, actually *teehee*
Cruise and Kendall are freaking adorable! Every moment shared between them was like the perfect love story. They both have pasts that try to catch up with them, and they both have insecurities about falling in love...until they meet each other.

The preface almost had me running for the hills. Kendall is a 20 year old virgin who is OBSESSED with sex. And she wants only the best erotic sex…seeing sex in hibiscus flowers, peaches, fig trees, cats in heat….then the "hero" was ordering on her knees. The prose was so over the top I almost stopped right then and there but I know people who loved this book so I carried on.

Liked the story but can't give it more than three stars.
I guess it's because most of the story was kind of hard to believe.
Who moves in with a guy she just met at a frat party??!!!!
I didn't ever really feel a connection to Cruise and Kenny.
I did love some of Kenny's dialogue but Cruise is supposed to be this bad boy and yet every time he talks its like his spouting off really romantic cheesy poems! Lol
The dialogue was just over the top.
I'll give the author credit for her stellar vocabulary!!

and you know what's hotter? Kendall and Cruise <333333333
I loved these guys and their story even when I am not completely for their relationship at first. but wow! these two are real equals.
What I didn't like:
- some of Cruise and Kendall chapters with other characters didn't serve much purpose at all.
- I didn't like the Blair character. I actually wished Cruise and Kendall were real so I can smack them on the head for believing such weak & terrible lies.

Niente di eccezionale, ottimo svago, molto hot, ben scritto.
3.0 to 3.5 stars.. This book really had potential, but I don't feel it fully lived up to it.
Told in alternate POV's between the two leads, Kendall ("Kenny") and Cruise (hate the name!), the story opens with Kendall arriving at her new college in Massachusetts, thousands of miles from her home in California which she shares with her multiple-divorcee mother and brother.

I didn’t have high hopes for this book because I figured it would be a run of the mill New Adult romance based on the synopsis, but for $1 at the library’s monthly sale, I couldn’t pass it up.

The way the story started made me feel like I entered a carnival or circus. I didn't like that Cruise called Kendall "Kenny" - it really annoyed me. I was utterly confused as to who was speaking, where we were, why we were there, what lead us there, etc.
