Studly Period

What a sweet, adorable, and utterly satisfying surprise. [a:Sarina Bowen 7737308 Sarina Bowen https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1402702789p2/7737308.jpg] released this in a serialized form, via weekly installments on her news letter. The length is really that of a short story but surprisingly it packs a punch. Josephine is your everyday, nerdy, non-glam heroine, shy but assertive about what she wants, even when nerves threaten to get the better of her. Pepe is an adorable mix of “man-puppy”, gentleman, and hockey player. Those who've read the rest of The Ivy Years will have come across him, though reading the series is not necessary to enjoy this blossoming story of young love. I loved it and hope SB releases it (maybe expanded?) at some point and in some form.
