    About this audiobook

    Katy Lewis has it all: a sports reporting job she loves, a great roommate, and two brothers who, while nosy, always have her back. But when Conner Roberts, Katy’s unrequited first crush, suddenly shows up—and shows interest—after nine years, she reverts to a sweaty, panicked sixteen-year-old once more.

    And if trying to read Conner’s signals isn’t tough enough, Katy’s heart is sending some mixed messages of its own. When a beautiful blonde coworker starts pursuing Katy’s boss, Dylan Sterling—her longtime mentor and friend—she realizes she may have a problem with that. A reunion with Conner is what she’s dreamed of for so long…so why can’t she stop thinking about Dylan?

    For the first time ever, Katy must fact-check her heart. Should she go after the guy she thought she always wanted or see if there’s something more with the one who’s been there all along?

    Author

    Barbie Bohrman

    Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Barbie Bohrman dreamed of becoming an author. Long after she had given up, a book club’s prologue contest encouraged her to give it one more go. What emerged were the beginnings of her debut novel, Promise Me. Now she’s living her dream and writing stories that entice readers to escape and break away from reality. When she’s not writing, you can find her trying to get through the books on her Kindle (more than a thousand at last count) or watching Sherlock or Homeland. She resides in New Jersey with her husband and two children.

      Not much to the story. Was sort of blah. Nothing I’d read again
    • 4/5
      Of all of the fiction genres, probably none takes as hard of a hit from critics as romance, which is kind of unfortunate since some writers are very talented, capable of making their readers laugh and cry and escape into a world where the greatest angst is whether he'll call or not. Also, if you've ever tried to write a full-length novel, regardless of genre, and failed, you immediately admire anyone who succeeds and writes a book that is enjoyed and that perhaps helps you escape for just a little while some of life's harder realities.

      Barbie Bohrman's Something More Than This reminds me of Harlequin's category romances that I used to read with an almost formulaic (not a bad thing) combination of romance, humor, plot and sex.

      Katy is a sports reporter for a small Florida-based newspaper. She's chosen a profession in which men excel and has had to prove herself along the way. Her editor-in-chief, Dylan, was the editor of her college newspaper, which she started working on as a Freshman. So, not only has she had to demonstrate her capabilities as a female sports reporter, but she's also had to deal with colleagues believing that she has her current job and their perceived special perks because Dylan is her best friend.

      According to Katy's other best friend since high school and roommate, Mimi, Dylan is more than just her best friend and boss; he's also in love with her. This Katy doesn't believe.

      Enter Connor, Katy's best friend in junior high and a bit beyond, the boy she had a crush on and who ultimately rejected her before he went off to college. Now it seems like Katy can turn back the clock and have something with Connor, but what are her feelings for Dylan?

      Something More Than This is well-written and charming, with a nice rapport between the characters. There are several fun scenes and some heat; and while the reader probably knows what is going to happen, Bohrman makes the journey fun. By the end, you'll be rooting for Katy and her romance.

      I was provided with an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.
