Noelle August has taken the New Adult genre by storm, and readers can’t wait to see what chaos, confusion, and connections arise at the Boomerang offices next.
Adam Blackwood has it all. At twenty-three, he’s fabulously wealthy, Ryan Gosling-hot and at the top of his game in the business world. His life is perfect, until a scandal from his past resurfaces and threatens to knock the tech wunderkind down and throw his company, Boomerang, a hook-up site for millennials, into chaos.
Alison Quick, the twenty-one-year-old daughter of a business tycoon—and the very ex-girlfriend of Boomerang’s former intern, Ethan—has a problem of her own. After nearly flunking out in her senior year of college, she has one chance to redeem herself to her father by proving that she deserves a place in his corporate empire. That means spearheading her father’s plan to sink big money into Adam’s company and launch it into the stratosphere—provided Adam has no skeletons in his closet.
When the two meet, their sizzling chemistry makes it tough to keep things strictly professional. But when Alison discovers Adam’s secret, she knows she should bring it right to her father, who’ll leverage it for his own gain and use it to ruin Adam. The only problem: she’s falling for Adam—hard.
Will earning her father’s approval come at the price of losing her first real love? Or can Adam and Alison leave behind past mistakes and conquer the world—together?
Funny, adorable and romantic! This is one of the most refreshing New Adult novels that I've read. I am glad I was able to get my grabby hands on this sexy and swoony read. Although I was a little hesitant about Alison & Adam's story at first, I ended up enjoying it a lot. I devoured Rebound in matter of a day and all I can say is that the story was a little bit unexpected as well as the twits but I loved it.
I wasn't a big fan of Alison in Boomerang and to find out that she was getting her own story was a bit of a shock. Once I started reading Rebound, I started warming up to her. Alison is beautiful and smart, she knows what she wants and how to get it. I admire her for putting up with her father.
Adam, mysterious Adam. Handsome, smart, funny and sexy. I have been in love with since I met him in Boomerang. I find him intriguing and getting to know him better was a little nice treat. I almost expected this story to be about Adam & Cookie but I guess Cookie is to cold for sexy and sweet Adam, hahaha.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. I needed something new, something different from the regular New Adult. This is one of those books that will have you giggling and smiling. The story line is interesting and the characters lovable. If you are looking for a New Adult novel with not a lot of drama and heavy subjects this is the perfect read for you. I cant what to see what Bounce has in store for us.
Excerpt #1, Alison POV
I give myself to the music and the movement of my body, but over and over again, I’m drawn back to him. And every time, his eyes are on me. Every time, he greets me with that same devastating grin that cuts right to my core.
Finally, I can’t take it anymore. I give in and dance his way, running my mink tail through my fingers. I smile at him, feeling light and relaxed and like no one in the world would dare deny me a thing.
“Dance with me,” I say.
“Is that a question?” he asks, folding his arms across his chest. His biceps bulge beneath the flowing black fabric of his shirt, and his eyes, which seem to be a deep, penetrating gray, regard me in amusement.
“No,” I reply, still swaying as the music flows through me to wrap around us both. “Come on.”
He hesitates, and the moment stretches between us. What is he waiting for? Doesn’t he understand how much I need to dance with him right now?
Coming up close to him, I feel the pull of his body, like gravity. I press in closer, then closer still. Smoothing a hand against the silken material of his shirt and the hard contours of his torso, I ask, “Pretty please?”
I step back, and his smile broadens. Finally, he reaches out a hand to me, and I take it.
“Okay, Catwoman,” he says. “Let’s dance.”
