Blocked Jennifer Lane 9780692303108 Books

Blocked is so much more than a typical college romance. These two co-eds not only have the pressure of being varsity volleyball players, they're the offspring of presidential hopefuls---in opposing parties! The story isn't afraid to address hot button issues, and it does so in a way that truly respects both sides, not something we see that often in politics anymore (or ever, really).

But the main focus of Blocked is the unlikely romance. The politics are woven into the narrative in a way that never detracts from, only adds to, the relationship's development. I fell in love with both of the leading lady and man. Lucia is so sweet and endearing, completely relatable and huggable, and Dane at first seems like a typical college jock...but then we find out he has a heart as soft as his body is hard.

Readers of new adult, sports romance, and good love stories will love this book.

Blocked Jennifer Lane 9780692303108 Books Reviews

Blocked is sort of like those romances where the President’s daughter falls in love with her security detail, only Lucia and Dane are the children from opposing sides of a presidential election. Not only was it sort of a forbidden romance, but it also had a lot of obstacles to overcome. I mean, Dane and Lucia have two very completely different views on how the country should be run. So, it stands to reason that these two butt heads a lot in the beginning. However, over time they slowly call a truce, become friends, and that friendship turns into something more. It was really interesting seeing these two grow together.

Since these two are both volleyball players for their school, I was happy to see the author incorporating the games and practices into the mix. I kind of expected the story to revolve their romance but there was a lot of sports mixed in as well. The one thing I wish there was less of is all the political stuff. I get why it’s in there but I really did not need to read about the actual debate verbatim. I mean, I fully understood where each party stood on the discussions that Lucia and Dane had, I didn’t need a play by play of the debates.

One interesting thing is, I was surprised this book was written two years ago. I had assumed it was a recent book because the presidential candidates reminded me a lot of the ones we have now. I mean, Dane’s mom is running as a democrat and Lucia’s father is running as the republican. Not only that but her father is frowned upon by many due to his high opinions on immigrants, gay marriage, and pretty much his high-handedness. Apparently he accused the disabled of mooching off of the government and called women who got abortions “murderers.” He just screamed Trump to me. So, yeah, I was a bit shocked when I realized this was not in fact a play at our elections this year. I suppose it was just good timing on my part.

This was a quick and easy read. There’s light romance to it but considering the characters are 18 and 20, this is not your typical new adult romance. It’s actually really light on the romance and focuses more on their relationship as a whole. I’m a little bummed that we never actually find out who won the election. I mean, I even read the first chapter of the next book and still nothing! After all that political b.s. I at least want to know what came of it. Maybe I will find out in the next book. I definitely plan to read it since it deals with Lucia’s older brother and her best friend. I love me some best friend’s brother romance.
This is a smart "new adult" romance. Smart, because I felt that it involved bright kids who had to grapple with some of the usual challenges of growing up as well as some extra-tough ones, and they navigated them well. Eating disorder, being new at college, the pressure of collegiate sports, anger management, overbearing or inadequate parents, parents who are divorcing/having problems...and then on top of it, the main characters here just happen to be the children of the two leading presidential candidates, so they have Secret Service and media issues to deal with. Which made it extra interesting.

The story was well-paced, the characters seemed realistic, and I liked/cared about them and wanted to see what would happen. The book was well edited and I enjoyed the story overall. The only ding was that the author seemed at times to be trying to help young readers who might also be experiencing life challenges...it was didactic at times. But if it helps one kid.

I think I prefer romance about older people, though. And boo on the author for the trick ending. No, I am not going to buy the next book just to find out the answer to that question. Nice try, though.
Lucia had me from the very beginning. I had to read this book! Why? Well, because it is very rare that we find Latino's in a prominent role in a book and represented in a positive manner.

Lucia attending the same school as her father's opponent in the Presidential race was an awesome spin. The book itself honestly is more than just a romance novel. The characters and story are very well developed and thought out. The author honestly shows her talent and strength. As a reader you know when the author is writing simply to put words on a page and when the author is actually passionate about the content of her book. Jennifer Lane is an author that writes what she knows and delivers a perfect story.

We fall in love with the love-hate relationship that Lucia and Dane have going on. Well, not only Dane and Lucia but the Ramirez and Monroe clan. We as the audience see how these two individuals come to terms with their personal struggles while being star athletes in the sport they love, while being in the public eye.

Dane the Democrat and Lucia the Republican have one heck of a story and I want more!!!!!!

If I could give this book 10 stars I would. I can't wait to get into more of Jennifer Lane's books. Bravo lady you are an amazing author and I am a new fan.

Thank You for this beautiful story
