MAYA'S REVIEWI shall start by saying that both books are about the same people Quincy, Brody and Declan's told from different points of view.In CHOICES, we meet Quincy who is the perfect girl at home compared to her sister who is a drug addict and suffering from bi-polar syndrome.  I connected with her struggle to come out of her sister's shadow especially since her sister seems to have all the attention. So when the opportunity comes to escape to college, she grabs it.Of course, at college things don't turn out as easily as she hopes. During a college party she meets some fraternity brothers, including Declan and Brody.Quincy is attracted to both guys. Declan who is sweet and the perfect gentleman asks her out first. He is the reliable listener and trusted friend, the shoulder she needs to lean on considering the demons that haunt her.Brody on the other hand is the playboy who doesn't do relationships. And of course he shouldn’t be making the moves on his friend and fraternity brother's girlfriend. But it doesn't stop the love triangle from developing or Quincy from being indecisive about whom to choose.In Fate, we get the same story told from Brody's perspective. I have to say that despite his bad boy ways, I connected with him, perhaps better than I connected with Quincy. I totally understood his struggle to do the right thing by his friend at first and of course when he finally succumbed to the attraction between him and Quincy, his annoyance at her dragging indecision. She was eating her cake and having it. Of course when she does make a decision, it is devastating for both of them.This was a guilty pleasure to read, taking me back to college days and some of my antics. I loved the author's writing style. This story is engaging, flows well and is so easy to read from either perspective. The characters are likeable and you learn to empathise with them even when you don't agree with their actions.If you can only read one book, I'd suggest you read Fate. It is great delving in a male POV.I will happily read this author again and gladly recommend both books to all lovers of new adult romance books.4.5 LovebitesDisclaimer: This book was provided by the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.
