By Referral Only Whitman University Book 2 edition by Lyla Payne Literature Fiction eBooks

By Referral Only is a bit sweeter and a good deal hotter than Lyla's first, Broken at Love. I just ADORED Ruby and Cole, and I can't get their story out of my head.

What does a loyal sorority sister do when her friends keep having the same old less-than-awesome experiences between the sheets? She takes action with a site designed to let other girls know. Each reporting session on the site ends with one question - would you recommend him?

Ruby, the genius behind the site, is just another girl who's been dealing with a hot boy doling out less-than-hot action between the sheets. She's determined not to let it happen again, until Cole shows up on the scene. She wants him so bad she can taste it, and she can tell he feels the same way - she's NEVER felt so much chemistry with a guy. There's just one problem - not a single girl on the site would recommend him.

What she learns about Cole - and the reason for his abysmal ratings - will challenge everything she's learned about college life and love.

By Referral Only is the story of a girl who's been burned a dozen times, and how she has to stretch her heart to try to believe that, this time, things might just be different. Its sweetness doesn't diminish its sizzle at all - Ruby and Cole's relationship explodes off the page with more tension and heat than I've read in any other novel of the genre.

Recommended, for sure.

By Referral Only Whitman University Book 2 edition by Lyla Payne Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Does your beau stop in the middle for a snack break? Never get started in the first place? Leave you doing a walk of unsatisfied shame? Well Whitney Brigs theater major, Ruby Cotton has developed just the web site to voice your dissatisfaction.

Yep, that’s right. Ruby has enlisted the help of a computer science geek to help her set up a grading site on the male population at Whitney Brigs. Too many of her female friends have been left disappointed by lack-luster bedroom performances and Ruby’s out to make the spoiled boys at Whitney Brigs shape up and work for their dates.

Ruby’s own neglected lower parts want fellow actor Liam, not Scottish swimmer, Cole Stuart. Despite his blonde hair, green eyes, dimples, charming personality, and accent, Cole’s ratings on Ruby’s new “referral” website are terrible. But when Liam’s big “performance” is a dud, and Cole’s one chaste kiss during a Romeo and Juliet scene for her after-school kids theater is awe-inspiring it makes it hard to get him out of her mind.

“Everyone knows you can’t wait to fall in love. It happens even if you don’t want it to, like in the Cinderella movies.”

That little piece of wisdom comes from Caroline, Ruby’s ten year old acting student, but it leaves an impression.

Cole is attentive, chivalrous, adorable with his Scottish colloquialisms, and a big mystery. Oh yes, he’s totally swoon-worthy. He and Ruby have a great attraction to each other (that she fights), and the book (told from Ruby’s POV) moves along at a good pace.

While the story is for the most part a fun and light hearted read, there is plenty of depth to the characters. Though outwardly out-going, Ruby wrestles with self-esteem issues stemming from not being born into wealth like her fellow old and ancient money co-eds. Yet hurt by love in the past, she’s not as different from Cole as she thinks.

Cole’s secret is a little heart-wrenching (all I’m gonna say so as not to spoil it). Its reveal is a pivotal point in their relationship and a great climax to the story. Emilie and Quinn from Broken at Love also appear, and if you enjoyed Quinn in the first book, he has some gem comments in this one too.

Are the girls rating the guys based solely on bedroom skills and sexual satisfaction or are they letting their feeling and relationship expectations get in the way? What secret is keeping Cole’s ratings low? Can he and Ruby let go of the issues they harbor? And will Ruby finally get to see Cole in his kilt?

The HEA is sweet, sexy, and superb! An amazing ending to this cute campus tale that raises the question of the different ways men and women view sex, dating, emotions, and relationships while showing how two new adults overcome their fears, doubts, insecurities, and pasts to succeed at love.
Review

I finished the first book in the series only a couple of weeks ago and since I was still feeling it, I decided to go on with the second quite fast, so here it.

Based on reviews I had read I was expecting to be annoyed with Ruby because of her mentality that just because she’s "new money" and, thus, not worthwhile for any guy from "old money," she didn’t even bother at anything else but sex or less with guys from that daunting category. But, luckily, she was much more reasonable, realistic and logical with that issue and overall. Her fear came from disappointment and betrayal of trust, so of course, why wouldn’t she be wary of such a situation reoccurring. With that out of the way, I kind of liked Ruby and rooter for her. She acted and thought like a young, free and from rags-to-riches privileged girl (who had some insecurity issues) and I appreciated her attitude, especially regarding sex and guys. She didn’t hide the fact that she enjoyed sex and a good time in bed was important for a relationship or sometimes just for fun or even casual. It was also interesting to see Emilie (the heroine from the first book) and Ruby clash because of their different relationships and how their thought process regarding that worked. It was fun to observe how the advice Emilie gave goes against how she herself acted when she was having trouble with Quinn in the first book and how Ruby called her out on that. Overall, it was nice to catch up on what Emilie and Quinn were doing and, as expected, they were going strong.

I was quite excited for the explanation on why Cole had such a low score on Ruby’s site, but it was somewhat anticlimactic, I was hoping for something embarrassing or not so against his persona and character that as a reader I’d come to know till that point. Also, it was kept secret for far too long, I was already impatient. Despite this, Cole was a sweetheart, being gorgeous, Scottish and a star swimmer didn’t work against him as well. I loved how he stood up for her, respected her and took her as she was.

I was fond of the scenes where they were both cleaning the fish, a nice bonding experience while being in the role of "the help." I really liked the idea for the sexual expertise comparing and grading site, it was an interesting and fresh premise. Girls also want to have a great time between the sheets so why not help out your sisters and provide info on where to place your bets and where to steer clear.

While I find the thought of the site exciting, it was also somewhat frustrating, because Cole started to pursue Ruby and one of the main reasons she didn’t give him the time of the day was because of his too low score. Her realizing the potential and the fact that he was an extremely great guy who deserved the benefit of the doubt was too slow and it dragged. Then again, it did bring about a decent amount of sexual tension, so I can’t fully complain about the slow progress.

Overall

A decent continuation and a sweet couple with somewhat unusual issues holding them back. The third book of the series doesn’t really sound to be my thing, because of the plot and characters, so I think I will skip that, but I genuinely like the series, so you can count on me taking on the fourth book sometime soon!
