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?

Boomerang is the first installment of the Boomerang trilogy starring the beautiful Ethan Vance and Mia Galliano. Mia and Ethan start their relationship a bit different than most couples. Mia wakes up in a hazy fog lying next to a pretty rocking body. So what we assume is these two had a very drunk one night stand which only stands to get a bit more awkward, seeing as they both turn out to have an internship at the same company, Boomerang. After their awkward cab ride to Boomerang Mia and Ethan find out that they are both indeed in for the same internship which guarantees only one job at the end. There’s also just one rule the company has, no dating in the office.

I adored this book so much, such a great summer read. With the dual point of views throughout this book you get to see how much these two are truly lusting for one another, but they both want and need the job so they’re trying their hardest to stay at arm’s reach. Boomerang is also a website designed for people who are not looking for a relationship but just maybe a hook up, they take the stress out of dating and just get to the point. So while these two are sitting here having inner battles over one another, I’m over here getting just as aggravated that these two won’t just give in! But with Mia needing this job to jump start her career as a film maker and Ethan needing the job to start paying off bills and student loans and finally get to where he wants to be in life I completely agree with their fighting off their feelings for one another.

Boomerang is a very fun New Adult book that is a perfect read for this summer (any season really). I loved the characters brought into the story and cannot wait for Adam’s (the head honcho for Boomerang) story in the second installment of the Boomerang Trilogy.
