This started out fine -- a little, fun, even . . . but then it got weird. Sophia has to pretend Drew is her brother to try and get back in her sorority but when they're caught making out, they took the ploy way too far. It just kind of went off the rails so I didn't love it. Maybe we'll see what the next book in the series is about . . . but it would have to be really compelling for me to give it another chance. Hope this works better for you!

Never Have You Ever comes out TODAY on November 10, 2020, and you can purchase HERE.

Never Have You Ever by Elizabeth Hayley is the 1st book in the Love Game series. I found this book to have unique concept. Sophia gets kicked out of her sorority, and moves in with her brother, only her brother is not there. Her brother is paying someone, Drew, to go to school for him, while he is off traveling Europe. What a fun book, as Sophia and Drew grow closer. One thing I did not realize is that this book ends with a cliffhanger, so if you want to know what happens to this couple you have two more books to find out. Both books will be released soon, and I can not wait. I highly recommend this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I totally loved Sophia and Drew's story.. They are so good for one another. You have all the college drama with a twist.. Lots of laughs with a few tears. Can't wait to read the next installment.

[Thanks Netgalley for the ebook. This review is my honest opinion but just another opinion, you should read this book and judge it by yourself]
I have mixed feelings with this book.
It's a funny and light story, very easy to read. The MC are very likable, especially Drew, so thoughtful and charming (and hot!). The plot is funny and some side characters too. But I think some the misunderstandings are too forced and I wasn't comfortable with some of them (the whole gay thing started very funny but eventually made my eyes roll). Also I think there are some holes in the plot.
I didn't know it was part of a series (ends in cliffhanger) and with the same MC, guess I would have read it with a different thought if I'd knew it.
But overall it was a cute story. I'm going to read the next one.

Pues un libro que va a pasar sin pena ni gloria. Es un N/A con pistos de engaños a padres (y a todo Penry), con momentos divertidos y un maromo adorafollable total. Se lee muy bien porque es bastante ágil, crea de un modo decente la tensión entre los personajes y lo mezcla con otras tensiones externas que le aportan chicha a este nadismo. Sin embargo, en la parte final se lía demasiado y se pierde un poco en sus propios pistos (todo el tema de la fraternidad me ha acabado aburriendo). No pasará de ser un libro como otros tantos, de consumo rápido, que te entretiene mientras lo lees pero no te emociona y lo olvidas a los dos días.
Debo decir que lo habría leído de un modo distinto si llego a saber que este termina en cliffhanger (😱) y que va a haber dos libros más con los mismos protagonistas. Obviamente, al menos el siguiente lo tendré que leer porque, aunque este no me ha vuelto loca, los personajes sí me han gustado lo suficiente como para saber qué pasa con ellos.

Super cute book! It was a great story that does end in a cliffhanger so be ready for that. I can’t wait to read the next one.

The title caught my eye and the description seemed fun. Sophia Mason is a junior in college and has a run in with the President of her sorority who makes her leave the chapter house. She arrives at her brothers apartment to find Drew Nolan living there, poising as her brother, and attending his classes. I thought I was in for a cute YA or new adult novel about getting revenge on the "Mean Girl" sorority president and making friends with college misfits.

The writing is light and the main characters enjoyable but the book is tone-deaf. This isn't the 1980's when Three's Company has Jack posing as gay being the basis of a family sit-com. Sophia claims Drew is gay to avoid her friends hitting on him. And a lot of the jokes are based on that misunderstanding. To make it worse, when their mutual attraction gets seen, it turns to incest jokes. Never funny. Also having someone take my college classes while I play in Europe seems poorly timed with the recent college admittance cheating scandals.

I read this in one evening and was surprised when only one of four plot lines was semi resolved. The book ends on a cliffhanger. I can see from Goodreads the next two books are coming out soon but I'm on the fence whether I need to read them. (I hate leaving things unanswered.) The book has some swearing and is not explicit with one fade to black scene. Thank you NetGalley and Waterhouse Press for the ARC ebook in exchange for an honest review.
