About this ebook

A rebound isn’t supposed to last. Though, sometimes, fate has other ideas in this opposites attract, friends with benefits romance.

It wasn’t supposed to happen this way.

I started planning my future at the age of six. I knew the college I wanted, the career I needed, and the boy I would marry.

Only he wasn’t supposed to break up with me in such a spectacular fashion. Now, I’m tossing my planner and breaking my rules.

First up: Pacey Ziglar.

I want one night of fun. One night to toss out all inhibitions with the sexy Brit across the hall. Too bad I fell for my rebound along the way.

I never meant to say yes.

I know exactly what Mackenzie Thomas wants when she asks me out on a date. She won’t be my first no-strings-attached relationship, and if things work out the way we both want, she won’t be my last.

Yet the more I get to know her, the more I want her. But she’s not looking for me to be her forever.

And when my family secrets threaten our future, I’m afraid forever might end far too soon.

I really enjoyed this story! It was great to see Mackenzie come out better from what Sanders did to her at the last of the first book in series. (Don't worry if you haven't read it, this one does explain what happened so you won't be lost). I loved how Pacey was ready to be a friend and whatever Mackenzie needed. I loved how that he asked what she needed and really listened. These two were not set to have anything serious, it wasn't even going to be a typical rebound but they just fell together. I loved how their relationship built and how they tried to communicate their feelings and what was going on, even when they didn't fully understand it themselves. They just got each other. I loved how Pacey understood her need to have a plan and lists and need things defined and never took offense to them. It really just made these two work from the beginning. That's not to say that they didn't have their issues that they needed to deal with and overcome. Both were overwhelmed with outside issues that kept throwing their lives upside down. I loved getting to see these two come together and be better for it. This story definitely pulls you in and connects you to the story and the characters. I loved getting to know Tanner and Miles better as well. I can't wait to get their stories. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Book 2 in On My Own series by Carrie Ann Ryan Mackenzie is devastated in previous book when she finds her boyfriend cheating on her. Mackenzie knows they guys in the house because she was dating a housemate and this is how she meets the women who are friends or girlfriend of the lads in house. Pacey is a English/American student living with the lads and hates how Mackenzie has been treated and offers to be her rebound. Neither of them expected more to come of this arrangement but special things happen very quickly between them. I was sure how you get a English sounding man called Pacey (not a typical English name) but this is explain and I do love it. I feel for Pacey in this book especially when I comes to unrequited love that I feel was slightly blamed on Pacey but he was a perfect gentleman and feel he did get blamed for things he didn’t do or encourage. I usually listen to audiobook quite fast but to fully savour this book I listen to really slowly. Shane East and Emma Wilder are one of the best narrators and I think this was a dual narration not a duet but at some points I wasn’t sure because the narration was just that good. Absolutely love Carrie Ann Ryan you can not get the same pleasure, anguish, tears and heartbreak all in same book.

4 Stars … My Rebound (On My Own, 2) is a friends with benefits college romance that is told from the first-person point of view of Pacey and Mackenzie. ⁣ Mackenzie is looking for a rebound to help herself get over her ex who she caught cheating on her. While having a conversation with her friend Pacey, she mentions to him her plan and he offers to help her with her dilemma. One night together should allow them both to release some tension and move forward but too bad they fell for each other. ⁣ Pacey and Mackenzie's story is full of secrets that just keep popping up at the most inopportune times which ends up turning out to be a good thing for Pacey and Mackenzie as they end up turning to each other for support which in turn helps enrich their connection and relationship. I am looking forward to more of this series and this group of friends. ⁣ Audio … Shane East and Emma Wilder were great choices for this story and the characters that they brought to life.
