The books I picked & why

Book cover of Play

Liz Ashlee Why I love this book

Kylie Scott has an infallible ability to make me laugh out loud. Her heroines are always top-notch, complicated, realistic, amazing women, and the heroes are always their perfect match. 

In the Stage Dive series, all of the men are memorable and swoon-worthy. But Mal is in a whole other category. He’s random, goofy, sometimes bizarre, and obsessed with his love interest. He's the type of character readers fall in love with within only a few chapters–at least, I did.

Book cover of Bad for You

Liz Ashlee Why I love this book

Whenever I think of my favorite book boyfriends, Krit in Bad for You is always number one. I don’t know why he struck a chord with me, but he did. Maybe it’s because he’s in a band, maybe it’s because he’s funny and chaotic, maybe it's because he seems a little lost. But mostly, I think it’s because he loves Blythe so much that he becomes a better man for her.

Book cover of Scoring the Player

Liz Ashlee Why I love this book

Felix is the most green flag MMC I’ve read. He’s honest, sweet, and just a baby doll. He isn’t as chaotic as the other characters on this list—or maybe he’s just chaotic in a different way. Chaotic because he doesn’t fit the mold of the usual MMCs I’ve read. He felt fresh and fun. He was a total departure from most book boyfriends!

Liz Ashlee Why I love this book

I never thought I would be infatuated with a man named Cletus. (Sorry to all of the Cletuses out there!). But Cletus Winston is one of the funniest, cutest, sweetest, and outright oddest leading men.

In her other books, I was always curious to learn about the certified genius and who might spark his interest, and Beard Science did not disappoint.
