Absolutely brilliant! Firstly, this is book one of The Love Game series a new series by Elizabeth Hayley and what an amazing start it was. I have been a fan of these two authors for some time now. I love their rom-com romance most. They always write witty, fun and really enjoyable characters and plots and Never Have You Ever was all those things and more. Sophie has some sass on her, she's feisty and fun and I found myself connected to her from the start. She was kicked out of her sorority house for breaking one rule and finds herself at her brothers' apartment with nowhere else to go. But it wasn't her brother that answered the door, it was Drew, someone impersonating her brother so he didn't have to go to school, instead, her brother was off travelling and it worked out well because it means Drew could get the education he wanted. Drew and Sophie end up agreeing to keep pretending that Drew is her brother and they go to school and live as if he was. Drew helps her come up with a plan to try and get her place back in the sorority house, but it doesn't go as plan and it ends up causing even more trouble and as the story begins to unfold, Sophie and Drew start to develop a bond, and start to develop feelings they should be having for one another but the chemistry between them has only been intensifying as the story progressed and they can't help these feelings as they only get stronger... I loved this. Rom-com's are not really my kind of reads. I do enjoy them here and there, but I usually am on the darker side of romance, however, when it comes to these two authors and their amazing ability to tell a story that grabs hold of my heart, makes me swoon and laugh-out-loud and this was no exception. This was an incredible start to what promises to be an amazing series of books! As always these authors deliver a fun, light-hearted, steamy, laugh-out-loud romance that had me smiling, laughing and swoony throughout. I can't wait for book two! 5 Stars I highly recommend starting this series!

How could you?? I'm livid right now - I am not even sure where to direct my anger. The author or a certain member of the cast? How. Could. You?? For 98% of this story, I was laughing, exploring, being a part of something new. Having the time of my life. Heck, I even felt a little nostalgic watching Sophia and Drew and the other members of their little band of wayward misfit students testing the waters called life, sampling all the possibilities before them. Some left them with a bit of a WTH did I hangover and others with the feeling they could take on the world. Then you did this... By the way, this ends on a cliffy and if you are anything like me you will most likely find yourself a touch torn at the end. Especially after you became extremely attached to all the wonderful characters in this modern breakfast club. I found the cast easy to connect with on a personal level which resulted in bouts of laughter at their ridiculous antics, merriment at their small accomplishments as they slowly discovered all the possibilities that life afforded them, and a painful sense of loss when fate intervened so callously. I'm going to take a moment to decompress I'll be back to complete my thoughts ... Hang in there Sophie Pops your an arse! Carter, I absolutely adore you! Drew you are funny, intelligent, and worth more than you believe and Xander you devilishly smart young man I do so hope we get your story To the rest of the crew, I also look forward to meeting you on a more personal level Overall this is an enjoyable start to a new series. Wonderful characters - Those that we get to know I do wish we knew a bit more about some of the antagonists but I think that was done with intention. Easy to follow storyline that provided a strong overall emotional connection The copy I read was comp.

Sassy comedy at its finest! Never Have You Ever is the perfect mix of enemies to lovers and mistaken identity. I was expecting a quick light-hearted comedy, but was pleasantly surprised with a little drama and shocked when I reached the end! I stayed up reading this is one sitting and then was happily surprised when Truth or Dare You appeared on my Kindle the next day! Such an amazing new series from a wonderful duo and I can't wait to see what comes next for Drew and Sophia!!!
