ABOUT THE BOOK

"Lulu Moore created a perfect book boyfriend in OAR THAN FRIENDS. Oz is the very definition of boy obsessed and his pursuit of Kate is absolutely delicious! This book is sweet and sexy and I didn't want it to end!" ~ New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy

She's rowing for Cambridge. He's rowing for Oxford. But they just can't keep one another at oar's length . . .

Arthur Osbourne-Cloud has his future mapped out for him – graduate Oxford and follow his dreadful father into politics. Except Arthur wants anything but that. He’d rather spend his days rowing for gold at the Olympics,.

And this year he has the Boat Race to win.

Kate Astley also has her future mapped out. Fly half-way across the world, and win a scholarship at Cambridge University to study medicine. Oh, and crew for the legendary Boat Race. Seems simple enough.

But then she meets Arthur.

For Arthur, this feisty American challenges everything he's been taught to believe, while Kate battles between what she's expected to do, and what she wants to do.

The bitter rivalry between their universities ought to destroy them. Or will it just be a matter of time before they surrender to the sizzling chemistry between them?

But In The Boat Race, there can only be one winner. Who will sink and who will swim?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Meet Lulu

Lulu started writing by accident, and somehow found herself stuck in a fictional world of ice hockey, baseball and billionaires. A world she has no plans to leave. She's the creator of The New York Players Series, The Tuesday Club Series, and The New York Lions - the worst team in the M.L.B.

More recently she's ventured across the Atlantic to where her latest novel is set - the beautiful cities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the annual rowing showdown on the River Thames.

She's a big fan of strong heroines, because those fierce alphas need someone to keep them in check. You'll find hear navigating her way through Romance Land one HEA at a time, and trying to figure out the latest social media platform she needs to post to.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the first book in a new series about college kids in England. She is 19 and he is about 21. When Kate and Arthur meet magic is in the air. But they have some huge stumbling blocks ahead of them. He is Oxford and she is Cambridge, they are separated by 100 miles, rival rowing teams, college rivalries, in this very forbidden romance. 

But that's not really what this book is about. It's about family. The family we love, the family we lose, through life, circumstance or the toxicity of those relationships. The family we have and how we choose to view it, whether we hold tight to their dreams or the time that we finally realize that it's our life and we only have one life to life. Whether you are American or British, we share the same fears, love and dreams. 

The writing of this story seemed complicated. The author took a long time to really build this story and the characters we met in this book and will meet through this series.

 It also takes place in England at Christmas time which was awesome as I got to experience my first British Christmas and it sounded awesome with the way the author chose to portray it. I adored Arthur's friends and cannot wait to read more in this series.
