A high school reunion is about to get down and dirty and a whole lot more complicated in this new steamy romance from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan.Grayson Cleary left town before graduation day and never looked back. Most people back home pegged him as a dropout. Over time, he’s worked to make something of his life and leave his past behind, so when his ten-year reunion comes up, he has … he has no intention of attending. Only when his best friend begs him to go, Grayson finds himself confronted with a past he’d rather forget and the one woman he’s always craved.
Kate St. Dalton had everything when she left her hometown. Not only was she Valedictorian with a full scholarship, but she was also engaged to the boy of her dreams. Then fate threw a wrench in her plans, and she had to find a way to live the new life fate handed her. The last thing she needs is the hot boy from high school returning to town as the sexy man of her dreams.
When the two take a chance and use the reunion week to burn up the sheets, they’ll have to remember that it’s only for a few nights—not for a lifetime—and decide if what they have is just a fling…or something far more than a mere reunion.

I was surprised that for how short this book was I really enjoyed it. I’ve never read a Carrie Ann Ryan book and I was very happy at how much I enjoyed her writing. Not only that but I really felt like I knew these characters, which is a big deal since this book is so short. I really liked Grayson and Kate. Their life in high school was complete opposites with him being the bad boy dropout and Kate being the valedictorian who was going somewhere. But things aren’t always what they seem and our dreams sometimes don’t get fulfilled when life leads us off course. But one thing that is for certain is Grayson and Kate always had an attraction to one another and them seeing each other again for their high school reunion has lit a fire between them.
This book is not really sexy and steamy, but its clear there is an attraction between the two. I like that they didn’t think of each other the same way they were perceived in high school. Grayson was really caring towards Kate and had no problem with the things in her life, other than Jason, her high school sweetheart. Kate is a great mother who is doing everything she can to give her kids a better life and finish college. I loved this about her.
I ended up really enjoying this book and found to be a great book to sit down and read real quick. I am looking forward to reading more books by Carrie if this book is anything to go by.
Grayson is back in town for his high school reunion even though he doesn’t want to be. He was the dropout of his class, but his best friend begged him to go. Kate was the top of her class, but life after high school didn’t go her way. I love Grayson, and felt for Kate. Overall it was aa good book that loosely ties into the Montgomery Ink series.
I loved this sweet and sexy high school reunion story! These two were on complete opposite ends of the social structure while in high school, but time has evened them out. While they explore their attraction and feelings, they work through the barriers. The epilogue left me with all the happy feelings!
Dropout
Bad Boy Homecoming, Book 3
By: Carrie Ann Ryan
Narrated by: Gregory Salinas
This is my first Carrie Ann Ryan book, and it certainly won’t be my last. If she can pack so much into a novella, I can only imagine what treats she has in store for me with a full length novel! This book features Grayson. He goes home to his 10 year reunion at the request of his best friend. He doesn’t want to go, facing his past is not something he is looking forward to. But when he sees his high school crush, Kate, things change. Kate was destined for success, but her path took a turn, and now she is struggling. Will this formerly popular fall for the bad boy? It has situations that are true to life and easy to relate to. The characters are easy to become invested in and I loved every minute of their story.
Narrated by Gregory D Salinas, Ryan could not have chosen a better voice. He is perfect in these roles, giving all the emotional value and passion to the characters. He is a wonderful storyteller and I always enjoy his narrations.

Heartwarming love story. Grayson and Kate had great chemistry. Love the idea of couples getting together at their reunion. Can’t wait to read the other books in this series.
WOW! What a Fabulous second chance love story. DropOut is a book that I really enjoy reading, but I enjoy any type genre that Carrie Ann writes.DropOut is the kind of romance that seem so real. Can you remember your ten year reunion or imagine this is where you fine the love of your life. I am a fan for life of Carrie Ann Ryan, she has awesome talent for creating believable, likable, infuriating and enthralling characters. She can weave a plot that pulls you the reader into the story and her characters will make you laugh, cry and scream right along with them! But Carrie Ann stories doesn’t give you a simple happy ever after, where hero meets heroine and they ride off into the sunset. Oh no the couple’s road to love forever isn’t easy and like real life they must work for love! Grayson Cleary left the small town he lived in before he graduated, so the people assumed that he dropped out. Kate St. Dalton is the class Valedictorian and destine to succeed. But some time fate has another road for us to travel. What adorable story and once I started reading this book I didn’t stop it has a perfect blend of drama, jealousy and romantic scenes. Each character is witty, intelligent, captivating and I absolutely enjoyed them. I’ve enjoyed this story and you will definitely want to buy this book. I know you won’t be disappointed! I would love to give Carrie Ann Ryan books 100 stars but ALAS instead I must give them 5 stars! This story is scorching hot, intense and its absolutely AWESOME! THIS IS A MUST READ I certainly recommend this book to readers that like to read a Phenomenal romance with a HEA. I voluntarily reviewed this book, because I love sharing my thoughts with my fellow readers.
Carrie Ann Ryan has done it again! Dropout is one of several books written by different authors all based an a 10 year reunion. I love this concept and if the other books are as good as this one WOW! I just hope they come up with more ideas.
In this book we get to know Kate the goal who graduated 1st in their class and Grayson the the guy everyone THOUGHT had dropped out right before walking. Of course Grayson had a thing for Kate in high school and she is now a divorcee.
This book is so well written. I have to say it is so well written that I actually felt like I was in high school in parts. Bravo to our author she nailed it! This is a 5 star read. I can’t wait to read the other books as I am hoping Leah and Kate’s besties both have stories as well as the snotty dentist.
