4.5 StarsSometimes you read a book and you know immediately you've read the author before. That was the case with Most Likely To Succeed, by the end of the first chapter I knew I'd read this author and I knew thatI'd loved what I read but I couldn't remember any of the titles. I know that sounds bad, but I read a lot so I immediately hopped on Amazon and found out that yes, I had indeed read everything she'd written. Kate Davies has an easy style that puts you immediately at ease and immerses you into the story. I found myself very caught up in this book, with these characters, and the characters I'm sure we'll see in the next two books of this series. This series takes place at a ten year high school reunion and although my 10 year reunion is long, long past; I remember attending and still remember how little some people had changed emotionally and maturity wise) and also how the cliques of the past remained the cliques of the future.Kelsey was voted most likely to succeed in high school yet circumstances beyond her control have left her feeling less than worthy and dreading her 10 year reunion. Her best friend Tess the reunion organizer insists that she attend if for no other reason than to connect with her former lab partner and secret crush. As much as she'd love to see Nathan again she's worried she'll look like a failure in his eyes something she doesn't want to see.Nathan was the typical high school science geek. He was pretty oblivious to everything in high school and only attended activities Kelsey dragged him to. He's made quite the name and career for himself and he's pretty happy with his life. But, he's never forgotten his gorgeous lab partner and it's the only reason he's attending his reunion.This is one of those stories I think almost anyone can relate to because very few people's lives have turned out exactly the way they wanted it to. Personally I think Kelsey is one of those people who got stuck in a rut and couldn't figure out how to get out of it. It took some gentle prodding and a big ole' case of mad to get her to do something about it. I honestly think Nathan is basically happy in his life but once he reunites with Kelsey he realizes what has been missing even though he never really thought about it.This is a novella so it moves at a very quick pace but considering these two knew each other for four years in high school, they aren't exactly strangers. I will say their intimate scenes are quite scorching and pretty plentiful. They are definitely making up for lost time and trying to make the most of their weekend/reunion fling.Throughout the story we see Kelsey's best friends, Tess and Bree and get an idea of where there stories are headed but not so much as to spoil them. I'll admit, I'm really anxious to see what happens to them at the reunion.Although short, we have enough background information on these two that their story is believable. I very much enjoyed watching these two discover each other as adults and love where they are headed in the future. I thoroughly enjoyed Most Likely To Succeed; it's sexy, fun, and entertaining! On top of that, I'm happy to see Katie releasing books again and am looking forward to going back and re-reading the ones I already have!Review copy provided for an honest review.
