Nice easy read with the rating hovering somewhere between three and four stars. Jenny first meets Barbara when she spills her coffee on her briefcase in Starbucks. A couple of weeks later Barbara, the CEO of the St Jennings hotel, finds Jenny, employee of the hotel, crying in the bathroom.

The characters had much more promise than they delivered on. They lacked depth and motivation. The story was fairly sexy but the flatness of Jenny and Barbara reduced the chemistry they could have had.

Entertaining read just not realistic of a CEO with a chain of hotels personally interviewing her lower tier staff.

Why I read: KT Grant, aka Katiebabs, is a friend and I definitely said yes when she asked me to read her debut book.

Favorite Quote: “Oh Jennifer. You undo me.” Barbara whispered against her mouth and then dipped her head to suck on her neck.”

Jenny works at the St. Jennings Hotel in New York City, a prestigious, world wide chain. Although her boss, Jeffrey, gives her lowly assignments and is usually the butt of many jokes Jenny tells her friends behind closed doors, Jenny loves the hotel and ...more

Lovestruck is one of those cute, fresh, contemporary love stories that was nicely written and a lot of fun to read.

This is the first novel of from this author, and I commend her on starting out with a genre that’s not exactly leading in the must read charts. She did a great job, not only in her writing style but in capturing sweet romance in all of its elements.

This is the first novel of from this author, and I commend her on starting out with a genre that’s not exactly leading in the must read charts. She did a great job, not only in her writing style but in capturing sweet romance in all of its elements.

Barbara and Jenny are two characters who really stand out and are very much their own person. What I liked especially was that the dynamics between both women kept shifting, which gave it a kick that’s hard to achieve in a love story between two women.

Barbara, at first, is the dominant one. She’s much older than Jenny and she’s a powerful, rich CEO of a major hotel chain who’s used to getting what she wants. She’s immediately smitten by Jenny and wastes no time in seducing her even though Jenny is younger, and her employee. It would seem then that this is how it will be between her and Jenny, Barbara controlling the relationship. But Jenny shows Barbara that Barbara is more vulnerable and not as in control as she thinks.

At first I was a bit worried about how things would go between these two. Jenny does act a bit childish at times and there is a stark contrast between Barbara’s maturity and Jenny’s youth in their initial interactions both sexually and outside of that. However, as things progress, Jenny steps up to the plate and makes it clear that she won’t be coddled, nor will she be taken advantage of because of the disparity in their ages, life experience or social status.

This made both women a bit more complex and well rounded as characters, which I felt made this story. The only complaint I did have about how the women interact is that Barbara calls Jenny kiddo and kid all the time. I felt that even though it’s clear that Barbara has full on fallen for Jenny and thinks of her as her equal, the use of kiddo kept giving it the feel of an older sister type thing. It didn’t cloud the feeling of the actual type of relationship they had, but that was one thing about how they interacted that bothered me a bit.

Outside of that, all of the characters come across as genuine and real and it had the feel of hanging out with your best buddies.

The story itself was not farfetched and I could see it actually happening. And the writing flow was just right, with clean dialogue that was snappy and natural at the same time.

For those who want to know, there’s lots and lots of steamy sex. Depending on your mood or preference in reading erotic sex, it could be a bit over the top, especially in the beginning where it seemed fairly non-stop. However, the requisite romantic and relationship foil enters in soon and there was a nice period of time getting to know the characters and getting more story development. The timing of it was just right.

And speaking of the foil, Ms Grant kept it at the perfect balance so that it was clear that these two really want each other, but not so angsty that you’re like OK already, let them get together. Moreover, it didn’t come across as contrived, but a perfectly reasonable reason for some problem in two people getting together.

All in all, this was a juicy, light read and sweet love story. I’m quite impressed with Ms Grant’s first published book and look forward to some more. I definitely recommend Lovestruck for a satisfying, erotic romance. ...more

Barbara cut off her words with a kiss, pressing her lips gently but insistently against Jennifer’s mouth. Jennifer sat there in stunned silence. When she didn’t respond, Barbara raised her head. She held Jennifer’s face in a tight grip and moaned. She wanted to feel Jennifer’s tongue against her own.

“Jennifer, please le me in. Let me make you feel good.”

“Yes please.” She whispered, ever so polity. She touched her tongue against Barbara’s.

I was really happy (and honored) when KT Grant asked me to read her debut novel. There were many reasons why I was excited to read it. For one thing, I’ve been following KT’s blog for quite some time – it’s one of my favorites. On top of that, the buzz surrounding this book has been hard to miss.

I downloaded “Lovestruck” onto my shiny new eReader, totally stoked. I settled into my recliner with it…and then my Kobo died. *stands up, punches fists in the air, jumps up and down like a two year old* ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I copied my review from my blog over for this book.

Lovestruck is described as a May/December contemporary lesbian romance on the author’s website. I honestly didn’t know what to expect since I’ve never read either F/F or M/M romances before. I can honestly say Lovestruck is one of the most romantic and passionate stories I’ve ever read. Both Barbara and Jennifer are attracted to one another from the first time they see each other. Of course the fact that Barbara is the boss and Jenny the employ ...more

Why are there two women on that cover you ask? Is it a generic cover? Nope, two women and I read it. Jenny is a 25 year old business student who works part-time at a very upscale hotel. One day the hotel mogul shows up to interview the staff. Barbara is struck by Jenny (who she literally ran into a while ago at Starbucks) and is determined to get her into bed despite the fact that Jenny is 10 years younger and an employee. They finally hook-up and things are going along not bad until Jenny finds ...more

Angelique’s Review

I will admit to having doubts about whether or not to review this book since contemporary is not one of my favorite romance sub-genres, but I was very pleasantly surprised by “Lovestruck.” This novella was passionate, aggravating, inspiring, and sexy – all at the same time.

The characters Jenny and Barbara are very much opposites. The women end up fitting together well after they get rid of some of their personal baggage. I really liked how they went full circle with the Starbu ...more

I have to say that I really enjoyed this fast-paced F/F romance!

KT Grant's writing is smooth and flows well. (even though I have to admit that sometimes it seemed all odds were against the characters) She created a fun and sometimes serious story of two women from different walks of life. I often found myself rooting for them.

I'll say that this author can also write some extremely steamy "scenes." *ahem* (In keeping the site pg I'll leave it at that) I've seen this book being called erotic but m ...more

I read this book last year. I found the main characters sympathetic and engaging with great chemistry. I had a great sense of who each woman was and what she wanted and needed that made Jennifer and Barbara a compatible couple. Grant also did a lovely job with secondary characters, mainly Jennifer's co-workers at the hotel Barbara owns.

As much as I enjoyed the love story component, the novel overall was a "miss" for me in the sense I felt the primary conflict and challenges in the book were not ...more

Jenny and Barbara are total opposites, but they do have similarities. While both are insecure about certain things, they are also independent women. But there is that one thing missing for both of them. Love, a companion, someone they can share their life with.

This story was fun to read. I'm definitely out of my comfort zone genre wise. Contemporary Romance or Female/Female isn't usually something I read but with this one, I ended up enjoying the story. Lovestuck is fun, intense and steamy. I li ...more

I thought I would take that chance and read something entirely different than what I am used to. A f/f book. I have to say, it was just as romantic and erotic as a traditional m/f. Maybe a little more because it was something I wasn't used to reading. You could really feel the attraction between the two main characters in the book. That attraction led to some very hot scenes between the two of them. I also felt like the story truly flowed and that made it an easy read. I feel that KT Grant did a ...more
