Release Blitz - Our Kinda Love (What Kinda Love book #2)
Title: Our Kinda Love (What Kinda Love #2)
Author: Deanna Eshler
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: September 12, 2015
Synopsis:
Keegan Hughes is a fiercely independent, and annoyingly honest, college senior who believes in the zombie apocalypse. Her “unique qualities” entertain her friends and, unfortunately, attracts the attention of her new neighbor, Adrian Elliott.
Having been left behind by other men in her life, Keegan vowed to never trust another guy with her happiness. She'll take what she wants from them, but they only get what she's willing to give. When Adrian slams into her life, he tramples all over her rules and boundaries, constantly throwing her off balance.
Keegan can't deny her physical attraction to Adrian, but his hyperactive, slightly delusional personality, is very unlike her usual type—confident, tattooed, alpha male. When Adrian makes a proposal that could benefit them both, Keegan knows it's a horrible idea, but can't resist his plea for her help.
Neither of them are prepared for the storm that's created when their two very intense personalities come together. Will Keegan get the hell out before Adrian destroys every boundary she creates? If she stays, can Adrian get through his own real-life demons to be the first man in her life to make her a priority?

This Romantic Comedy is the second in a series, but it is a standalone. Our Kinda Love is a spinoff on secondary characters from the first book in the series - Shy Kinda Love.
Review:
I should probably be honest and say that I was a bit doubtful about how much I would actually enjoy this book, as I have never before read a New Adult book, but non of that matters now. What matters is that I read it, I enjoyed it and I felt many things while doing it.
The first thing I had to do was ignore the fact that I haven't read a romance book in a long time, so I wasn't sure I would be able to let myself enjoy it for just that, but I soon learned that with this book it was extremely easy to forget it's a romance. Eshler's writing, simple yet striking, was enough to figuratively attack us from every front and (not) literally break our hearts with her emotional backstories and complex, lovable characters.
The story developed at a steady and fast pace, keeping us entwined it its every twist and turn, and, man, where there a lot. I don't think I was completely ready to jump right into such an emotion-driven book and, much like Keegan herself, I didn't know how to handle the feelings I had inside for a long time. I was mostly caught off guard by Adrian's character, and pleasantly surprised with how much I related to Keegan's own thoughts.
I truly believe that Our Kinda Love's best aspect is its characters and how their relationships shifted and swayed so beautifully and, even, comically, and I'm not just talking about the romance. I wasn't expecting how fast I would fall in love with Adrian's loving and passionate character and his protective nature he showed to those he loved, especially his brothers.
All that being said, I couldn't completely love the whole product, I guess I just can't distance myself from the amount of romance I 'm not used to reading about, but I did love the reading experience, the drama, the characters I grew attached to, the pages that flew by me in 250 different emotions and the more I think about it the more grateful I feel for the author's email, inviting me to get to know these people she created and their fantastic stories and giving me the opportunity to review it and share my thoughts, hopeful that they are enough to get more people to know them too.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Denna Eshler's second book as a great example of New Adult enjoyment. An honestly fantastic way to be introduced to a genre and an author I will definitely want to read more from in a very, very near future (especially if it involves a guy like Adrian to fangirl over).
