Synopsis:
The first book in a sensational New Adult trilogy from Noelle August
Welcome to Boomerang.com, the dating site for the millennial gen with its no-fuss, no-commitments matchups, and where work is steamier than any random hook-up
Mia Galliano is an aspiring filmmaker. Ethan Vance has just played his last game as a collegiate soccer star. They’re sharp, hungry for success, and they share a secret.
Last night, Ethan and Mia met at a bar, and, well . . . one thing led to another, which led to them waking up the next morning—together. Things turned awkward in a hurry when they found themselves sharing a post hookup taxi . . . to the same place: Boomerang headquarters.
What began as a powerful connection between them is treated to a cold shower courtesy of two major complications. First, Boomerang has a strict policy against co-worker dating. And second, they’re now competitors for only one job at the end of summer.
As their internships come to an end, will they manage to keep their eyes on the future and their hands off each other, or will the pull of attraction put them right back where they started?

In Boomerang we meet Ethan & Mia who are competing for the same job. Both of them have had relationships in the past that didn’t end well so they are both wary of trusting another person completely. They meet prior to the start of their new jobs & neither knows the other has applied for the same position or that they will now be competing for the one job. Unfortunately for them the big workplace rule has been laid down that no employee romantic relationships are allowed.
Mia is very easy to like & easy to empathize with as she has a sick Nanna that she is very close to and that situation is at the top of her list of priorities. Everything else aside when her family & her Nanna need her she is there.
Ethan is a little bit frustrating because he knows what he wants but seems to have trouble communicating that to other people & carrying through with his good intended plans!
Both Ethan & Mia has lovely close family relationships & you can see where they get their good natures from. Neither of them are intentionally nasty & they don’t set out to hurt each other. It is a little bit funny because they are both trying to put the other first when it comes to the employment situation & it constantly backfires. If only they had an honest conversation about who wants what & what each is prepared to do for the other!! It probably would have saved them a lot of time apart, but then it probably would not have made for a very good story!!
This is a bit of a slow paced romance with a little bit of humour thrown in from Mia who is a bit on the cheeky side. Ethan provides the serious side of the relationship & clearly suffers from foot in mouth disease. He has a big habit of saying the wrong thing to Mia. They both have lives outside of their work relationship & they seem to constantly find themselves thrown together in social settings. They are physically attracted to each other but have to fight it because of their jobs.
If you are looking for a book that is not full on with sex scenes & is really nice, gentle and slow burning romance, then this is great book for you to have a read of. I enjoyed the change of pace & Mia and Ethan and their friends are really likeable & really grow on you as the story progresses.

VERONICA ROSSI is the author of the New York Times Best-selling UNDER THE NEVER SKY trilogy for young adults. The books are available in more than thirty countries and the film rights have been optioned by Warner Bros. Veronica completed undergraduate studies at UCLA and lives in Northern California with her husband and two sons.

LORIN OBERWEGER began her storytelling career by captivating her first-grade class with tales of her summers on a kibbutz in Israel. Lorin had never been to Israel. While teacher/parent night put an end to her first experiments in fiction, she’d already caught the bug and eventually made a career of all things story.

She's an award-winning author and has also worked behind the scenes as a ghostwriter on a variety of projects. Her work has received starred Kirkus reviews and glowing mentions in The New York Times. Oh, she did get to see a kibbutz, eventually, and found out she had it pretty much right all along.
Veronica and Lorin met at a writing workshop and just knew they were destined to create awesome things together.
