I’m pretty sure my first reaction to this book was basically: swooooon. Swoon times a zillion. I really loved the first two books in this series (Rush Me and Running Back), but I think this is my new favourite.First of all, I'm a sucker for friends to lovers romance, so this book was one I was really excited for. The family friends, growing up together aspect always gets me. But a great concept doesn’t always equal a great book. Thankfully, that is not the case here, as Imaginary Lines lived up to my expectations, and perhaps even surpassed them. I loved the vibe between Tamar and Abe right from their first conversation in New York.What I really enjoy about Allison Parr’s New Adult books is that they’re quite unique in the category. They take place in post-college settings, examining the beginnings of careers for her protagonists. Here there was an interesting conflict with Tamar's job as a sports reporter and Abe being a football player.Tamar was a really interesting main character, and I liked seeing her journey. Abe, our hero, was introduced in the first book of the series, so it was great to see this sweet guy get his own happily ever after. Romances that feature the “boy next door” type are another favourite of mine. The New York Leopards series features great secondary characters, and I definitely enjoyed catching up with the couples from the previous two books, as well as meeting both Abe and Tamar’s families.This series is definitely one of my favourites in the New Adult category, and I recommend it to all romance fans. Imaginary Lines is an awesome book, and I can’t wait to read more from Allison Parr.
