Third Degree by Julie Cross

Fans of Monica Murphy and Tammara Webber will savor this New Adult novel—a story about coming of age in the heat of the moment—from Julie Cross, the internationally bestselling author of the Tempest trilogy.

I used to be “Isabel Jenkins, child prodigy.” As lame as that sounds, at least it was an identity. But now I’m not sure what I am. I just failed the most important exam of my life—the emotional readiness test required to get into a medical residency program—and it turns out my parents can’t stand each other. Now I’m trying to figure out how to pick up the pieces of my life, and that means re-enrolling as a college freshman, but this time I’m shutting the books and majoring in being eighteen.

But so far, my roommate hates me and I’m not into the party scene. The only good thing about school has been getting to know my insanely hot RA. Marshall Collins makes me wonder about everything I missed while I was growing up too fast. Pretty soon we’re hanging out constantly, but for the first time, I find myself wanting more than a no-strings-attached physical relationship. And the lesson I really need is one Marsh definitely can’t teach me: love. Because I’m going to be alone forever if I don’t learn fast.

Overall Rating:  3 Rockin’ ★★★

Favorite lines: 
"Two minutes ago I wanted to punch him, and now I cant get enough of the softness of his mouth, the strength of his arms around me, the scent of soap and deodorant, the annoying weight of our clothes between us. -he's a gifted kisser. I should have tested the theory a long time ago."

 "His mouth journeys to multiple points across my midsection, with me reciting the muscle name at each spot and him repeating it in that low, sexy voice, half serious and half playful. My heart is racing, my hands working so hard not to take action on their own." 

"We're not the same blood type so don’t even think about eating me."

Third Degree written by Julie Cross gives a new twist on the harsh reality of one young girl's ambitions to become a doctor and the inexperience she has with connecting to others around her. The book is filled with her struggles to let go of the facts, and start feeling with her new college RA, man crush Marshall. The book takes you through the troubles Isabel has progressing from her patients' bedsides to Marshall's bedside. The flirtatious and erotic connection Marshall sparks within Isabel ignites a diagnoses Isabel can't ignore. Julie Cross brings the connection between the two characters and all their misfortunes together in an adorable and heart wrenching modern day love story...KMO
