I have to say that I was surprised at just how much I ended up enjoying this book. Stacey is a new author to me and the synopsis sounded interesting (I'm a fan of the enemy to lovers and nerd girl/popular boy tropes). The book was only .99c so what the hell....
First off I will say that the synopsis is a bit misleading. I didn't find Kat to be the uptight, sheltered, or allergic to fun girl that was described. I expected some girl who kept to the shadows but thats not what I got. While compared t ...more

This book has everything in it that I love! Clay and Kat struggle with being friends. Can Clay find his happiness? Will his inner struggles with relationships be too much? Can Kat learn to live with her disappointment in Max? Will she ever know the fears and worry that Clay is dealing with?
The push-pull friendship, communication and trust are all in play! Stacey Mosteller's scenes are filled with details that will make you feel like you're there. Clay and Kat truly come alive on the pages.

I came across Looking For Trouble by Stacey Mosteller by complete accident. I thought the synopsis sounded like something I would enjoy. I mean who wouldn’t want to read about two opposite characters coming together? Since this was my first book by Ms. Mosteller I wasn’t sure what to expect but once the story started to get going I found out that I enjoyed it.

Looking for Trouble was a good read about college frenemies that struggle with what they really are to one another. Clay and Kat have know each other for years and have been like oil and water. They clash about everything and throw jabs at each other whenever they can.
These two are opposites in every way possible yet they run in the same circle of friends. When I first started reading I honestly thought it was going to be two different love stories because to me there was no way these two would ...more

Am I getting to old for NA? Is everyone this immature?!
Why don‘t you just talk about your feelings instead of getting butthurt because someone didn‘t take those feelings into consideration.
I like the slow burn feel of Kat and Clay‘s relationship and how they struggled to get to that certain point.
But oh my god, everything was about Kat, Kat, Kat. She never said anything about anything but she still got aggravated because people didn‘t bow to her feelings and expectations 🙄 that’s fine in the beg ...more

I am a huge fan of Stacey Mosteller's books, so I was very excited to hear that Clay, the crude and rude typical college jock who could get any girl he wanted, character who made me sometimes laugh and sometimes cringe in several of her earlier books, was getting his own book. I was a bit afraid that I wasn't going to like his character, or he was going to be one I love to hate. Boy was I wrong! As I began reading, I started liking him. His cocky attitude drew me in, and as I read more he intrig

Enemies to friends. Friends to lovers. Sounds cliche, but the way Stacey cleverly wrote this story it is far from cliche. It's a smart, lovely, entertaining read that will keep you pulled in to the very end.

5 ***** A ‘Coming of Age’ story for all ages 18+.
**I read this with my KU subscription**
Well, where should I start? This is such a great book!
Even though I’m in the university environment taking my Master’s degree, I’m way past the characters’ group age, who are undergraduates. However, I could totally relate to their struggles and drama. I can get a little tired of some novels that portrait ‘Coming of Age’ situations; but that was NOT the case with Looking for Trouble at all.

Rather monochromatic, obscure, vague. Shadowy. Part of the title is lost in the smaller view, leaving only "trouble" visible... but that is what catches your eye and really makes you LOOK at it. Synopsis is interesting enough; thankfully, not another step-sibling trope! LOOKING FOR TROUBLE will be the first book I've read by this author.

DISCLAIMER: I received a copy of this book in exchange for honest review.
Prepare for some major . . . NA content. The first few pages are rather explicit as a random girl gives Clay a . . . a lap dance. But this opens our mind to the understanding that . . . Clay is all over with the girls. But there is only one girl he teases the most, and that is his younger brother's best friend, Katrina. Or Kat . . . Kitty Kat.

Move over David, Jeremy, Wyatt, Emmett, and Tyler, there is a new kid in town in the form of a cocky, crude jock named Clay. Looking for Trouble is a spin off of the Nashville Nights series, but can be read as a stand alone. However the characters do apparent in some of the books before it if you would like to grab those to get to know some of the characters mentioned in here. The one liners and banter between the characters of this story, especially Clay and Kat was hilarious! This book had me

I really loved this book for start to finish, I couldn't put it down. After reading the first chapter I was hooked. This book was a breath of fresh air for me. Lately I have been reading books filled with sadness and heartbreak and this allowed me a much need break in my emotions. I fell in love with the characters instantly. Their personalities really added to the story line. You could fell the emotions with the characters which allowed you to form a connection to them. The banter between the c

This was a wonderful book to kick off the Nashville U series! I've loved all of Stacey's books and the same goes for this one. It was interesting to see Kat and Clay banter back and forth and watch how they interact with each other. I thought Clay was going to be a real jerk, but there is more to him than meets the eye. This book had me from beginning to end and I'm looking forward to future Nashville U books.

Kat has had a crush on Max Mitchell since she was 14 years old. His older brother Clay, not so much. Clay has been the ultimate player as long as she has known him and the bane of her existence with his crude comments and attempts to embarrass Kat. To be close to Max, who thinks of her as his best friend, not as a girlfriend, Kat has to deal with Clay.
Every thing changes as Clay is nearing graduation - he and Kat end up in the same class doing a project together, Max hurts Kat in an unforgivable ...more

Good bones, too rushed
I read this as a stand-alone, and after the first few introductions to the characters, it was clear it was not a standalone. Names were mentioned and tossed away, continuing storylines didn’t flow, etc.
This book has all the right aspects of a college athlete romance trope and none of the writing to go with it. A lot of sloppy storylines that don’t always make sense. Like the part about fighting? Take that out completely and the story is still the same. I liked the premise ...more

I love a good enemies to lovers story and this one didn't disappoint. Kat is your all around good girl while Clay is your obnoxious over the top boy/man that is always picking on her. O and he is the older brother to her best friend/crush Max. But as Clay and Kat are forced to spend more time together through events gone wrong everything begins to change. I really love the growth throughout the story because it shows the struggle of the couple coming together. As the characters themselves grow a

This was my first read by Stacey Lewis. I will definitely be reading more books by this author. Clay is a dirty talker, cocky and a total player. Kat is quiet, shy and totally infatuated with Clay's brother Max. After blowing her off and forgetting to pick her up from class, Kat has finally realized Max will never see her as more than a friend. She is so tired of waiting for Max to take notice. Clay and Kat don't hate each other but they aren't really friends either. They have known each other f

Soulmates don't always start as friends. Sometimes they start as enemies.... after all, there's a fine line between love and hate.
I enjoyed seeing the relationship develop between the cocky arrogant bad boy and the pure sweet good girl!
A fun read with well developed characters be it the hero & heroine or the supporting cast

“Like I said, I’m pretty sure I’ve loved you for longer than I want to admit. Even back in high school, I was drawn to you. It’s why I was such a jerk to you all the time. Pushing you away was my number one focus because I thought you were in love with Max, and I didn’t want to take that away from him.”
