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.

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 it ...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.
Barbara and Jenny are two characters who really stand out and are very much their own person. What I liked especially was that the dynam ...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....more
“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.

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

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.

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

I wasn't sure I was going to like this one and then I realized it's a lot like a Harlequin Presents, but with two women, and then I had a lot of fun with it.
Done! Nicely written.
