Story
On his first day of college, all Jeremy Miller can think about is getting away from his hellish home life, making the wrestling team, and finally getting a real boyfriend. He's sick to death of being used by closeted football players who are too afraid to admit they like guys. What he doesn't count on is losing his mind over the gorgeous, golden-eyed wrestling captain who needs to keep their attraction a secret at all costs.

Story
When introverted doctor Ben Hardy's high-maintenance girlfriend wants to introduce a little more kink into their love life, he doesn't expect it to come in the form of the hunky new EMT who just moved to Blackwood. Ben's not gay, but damn! He can definitely see why all the women turn to mush when he's around: tall, blue eyes, body of an underwear model. The prospect of being naked in the same room with him is horrifying. So why the hell is he considering it?

Story
My name is Jamie Atwood, and I'm an addict. I never thought I'd say such a thing. Never had a problem being overly attached to anything in my life. I came from a perfectly middle-class family, made good grades, and had a hot cheerleader girlfriend...but the truth is, nothing ever really moved me. So how did a guy like me become an addict? I met Michael Kage. Kage is an MMA fighter. A famous one. I like to think I helped him get that way.

Story
Ever hear the story about the bodyguard who falls for the rock star? Yeah, it never ends well. Each day I remind myself that it's my job to protect Stone. And nowhere in the job description does it say I should lust after the charismatic, charming man. Especially since we're opposites. But every night I spend with him the dangerous, off-limits attraction grows more intense. Until one night in a limo when we combust. One time only will have to be enough. One scorching, forbidden night. Because the mistakes from the past are chasing me. And if I give in again, I'll lose everything.

Story
Maximoff Hale is a force of nature. A ship unwilling to be steered. Headstrong, resilient, and wholly responsible - the 22-year-old alpha billionaire can handle his unconventional life. Born into one of the most famous families in the country, his celebrity status began at birth. He is certified American royalty. When he's assigned a new 24/7 bodyguard, he comes face-to-face with the worst case scenario: being attached to the tattooed, MMA-trained, Yale graduate who's known for "going rogue" in the security team - and who fills 1/3 of Maximoff's sexual fantasies.

Story
Julian was the boy next door. My brother's best friend, he fit with my family in ways I never could. While he and Rhett went on to play house, I left the only life I knew, desperate for a fresh start. Until everything changed. Heartache came along, and the aftermath of my brother's death was here to stay. I was now face to face with Julian more than I ever wanted to be. Being around him brought up all my insecurities, forced me to deal with hard truths, and conjured up feelings I had no business entertaining. He wasn't the man I thought I knew.

Story
Being a hit man has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go. Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll, Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better.

Summary
Dan Fisher is a fun-loving slacker from SSU with a passion for partying and dancing. When rich girl Avery Wakefield offers him a brand-new designer wardrobe in exchange for posing as her boyfriend, he reluctantly agrees. He hates lying, but it's hard to turn down nice clothes and a chance to live in a historic mansion in Savannah for two weeks. What he doesn't count on is falling hard for her mysterious, straight brother.
Julian Wakefield is as tortured as he is handsome. He keeps a secret close to his heart and everyone else at a distance. But now his sister's new boyfriend is stirring up feelings he's always been able to deny. Like an angel and the devil all rolled into one, he tempts him to take chances he never would have taken before. Too bad Dan belongs to his sister, whom he would never dream of betraying.
But...put two hot boys with an irresistible attraction in the same house for long enough, something is bound to happen.

great!
I absolutely loved this book! I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but this second book was even better! The characters were relatable and I found myself rooting for them. The passion was great and the story in general was very enjoyable. I laughed, I got angry, and I got titillated. It had every thing a romance needs.

Very engrossing story and well narrated
What made the experience of listening to Smitten the most enjoyable?
I really enjoyed the narration and for a story with a lot of what could be considered cliche plot points they are carried off really well and smoothed into the story so you don't really notice it until the end but you're satisfied so why focus on it!
Who was your favorite character and why?
I really did love Dan. He's naive but earnest and lovable.
Have you listened to any of Chris Patton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No this series was my introduction to Chris' line of work. I was rather impressed
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I enjoyed this book and the others in the series!

GFY Theme
Julian Wakefield is smitten with Dan Fisher who is an SSU gay boy, problem is Julian is straight and Dan is dating his sister. Dan is only dating julian's sister to do her a favor since her boyfriend cut out on her just before an important coming out dance. One thing leads to another and Julian and Dan end up having sex with Julian feeling guilty and terrible for doing that to his sister. It turns out however that Julian's sister really had this plan in mind anyway to put the two guys together. There ends up being a lot of drama around this issue because Julian who is straight is also supposed to one day take over his father's company which he has no interest in doing. Dan is introduced to us in the first SSU book as a somewhat free and easy want to be dancer. The two must overcome the typical coming out issues in the context of high society because Julian's family is really rich. Both characters are very likable and the main social issue that the author deals with here is alcoholism. Julian likes to drink just a little bit too much which also interferes with his relationship to Dan. Not much time is devoted to this issue however, I feel there should've been a little more of Dan and Julian working on this problem together instead of Julian dealing with it on his own. The other heavy issue that comes up in the book is the suicide of a friend which kind of happens in the middle of everything else going on. I felt this issue would have been a little more difficult to deal with in reality then it was in the book but still it added some angst to the mix. Four stars out of five, The narrator also did a good job however his voice for the two main characters was pretty similar and sometimes made for confusion as to which one was speaking. The point of view switches back-and-forth between the two main characters which is a common technique used by this author.

Smitten at First Glance
Smitten is the second book in the SSU series, a college, contemporary romance series revolving around a group of friends. This book can be read as a standalone, but it’s more fun reading the first book so you’re already introduced to all the characters.
So I have mixed feelings about this book. The first part of the book, where Dan and Julian fall in love and explore that romance, is wonderful and sexy. I was hooked on their romance, their banter, and all the drama. But then the plot takes a left turn and there are quite a few disjointed things that don’t make sense. It kind of straightens out by the end of the book, but I really wished Maris Black hadn’t thrown so many unnecessary plot twists. I will still recommend the book, because I did enjoy most of it. It’s like the last one-third that that had me scratching my head.
The narration was done by Chris Patton who does a fabulous job. I really enjoyed his performance and definitely will listen to more audiobooks by him.
