The Ivy Years Book 5: The Fifteenth Minute by Sarina Bowen

The Ivy Years Book 5

Freshman Lianne Challice is known to millions of fans as Princess Vindi. But sometimes a silver screen sorceress just wants to hang up her wand, tell her manager to shove it, and become a normal college student. Too bad that’s harder than it looks.

She’s never lived a normal life. She hasn’t been to school since kindergarten. And getting close to anyone is just too risky — the last boy she kissed sold the story to a British tabloid.

But she can’t resist trying to get close to Daniel "DJ" Trevi, the hot, broody guy who spins tunes for hockey games in the arena. Something's haunting his dark eyes, and she needs to know more.

DJ's genius is for expressing the mood of the crowd with a ten second song snippet. With just a click and a fade, he can spread hope, pathos or elation among six thousand screaming fans.

Too bad his college career is about to experience the same quick fade-out as one of his songs. He can't get close to Lianne, and he can't tell her why. And the fact that she seems to like him at all? Incredible.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

I loved getting to know Lianne in the previous book of this series, so I was super happy to see she was getting her own book! And it was a great one. Lianne is a famous actress who wants a chance to be normal and go to college. She loves acting but there are so many other sides to it that she wishes she can avoid. Specifically the social part and the fact that she can't go anywhere without someone recognizing her. But she promises this semester to try better to be social in the sense of making actual friends. She made friends with Bella and Rafe last semester and since she met DJ, she wants to be his friend and more. DJ has had a rough couple of months. After being accused of something he didn't do, he thinks his days at Harkness are over. But when Lianne steps into his life, he wishes he can give her a normal relationship. Especially because he is amazed that she gives him the time of day and what they have in common is through the roof. Both of them have their baggage, but neither are quite willing to give up on the other. Loved their story! Just another great one to this series. I'm sad it is the last full length novel, but I still have the novellas to read next!
