The Oxford Blue Series #1

The First Time We Met

Third Time Lucky

Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

Croft (mainstream romance author Phillipa Ashley) kicks off her Oxford Blues new adult contemporary trilogy with an angsty yet appealing romance. Lauren Cusack, the daughter of a U.S. senator, leaves Washington, D.C., for a year abroad at Oxford, studying for a master's degree in the history of art and visual culture. Alexander Hunt is a compellingly broken English aristocrat. The author is an Oxford alum herself, and she writes with authority about what happens when an upper-crust Brit meets a fearless American.

A very well deserved five stars, a fabulous emotion filled, dramatic read!

A very steamy NA with a sprinkling of Downton-Abbey-esqueold money traditions and snobbery. And I freaking loved it.

With a great setting, fantastic characters and a passionate love story, The First Time We Met is a great read in the New Adult genre.

Pippa Croft captures the overwhelming physical attraction between Lauren and Alexander. It was hot. REALLY hot.
