Trudie Collins Why Trudie loves this book

This is the second in the Discordia University series and is just as good as the first. The plot is fantastic and the interactions between the characters is entertaining. There is a crossover with two other series by this and I got all the books in those just so I could read more about the characters in this on in the crossover and understand it all. I can't recommend this series enough - absolutely fabulous

My new ‘brothers’ are bound to me by some ancient ritual magic, but every look, every accidental touch, every too-long…

When I read the blurb, I didn't think I would enjoy this book, but as I have read many others by this author, I thought I would give it a go. And I'm glad I did. It was nothing like I was expecting. The main characters and the way they reacted are so realistic and the storyline is great. This was a pleasant surprise.
