“Sheer comedic gold, with an overdose of heat that will have you glued to your Kindle from the first page to the last!”—NYT Bestselling Author Ella James.Complete standalone book 2 in the #LovePranks series, following the love & insane shenanigans of the Iota Fraternity… and their neighbors, the Blossom girls.Two households, both alike in dignity… hit a serious snag in their ongoing prank … hit a serious snag in their ongoing prank war last semester.
The Blossoms of #246 and the Dudes of #247 each lost a member to flippin’ Love. (Insert eye-roll here.)
The lovebirds/turncoats plan to move out, but true prankster talents are few and far between, so the remaining Blossoms are going to make damn sure there’s no shacking up before Kitty has found the perfect replacement for herself.
The Blossoms and the Dudes agree on very little, but everyone agrees on this: there can be no more pranksters-turned-lovers between the two arch-fratenemy houses.
Yep, everyone agrees.
Almost everyone.

Pranked By Love is the continuation of the #LovePranks series and it is Saki & Picasso’s story. After the Blossom’s & the Dudes each lose a member from their clan to love, the last thing Saki is going to do is follow in Kitty’s footsteps & fall in love with one of their archenemy. But she soon finds out she can’t ignore or hide from fate. To her horror she can’t believe she’s actually fallen for the charms of Picasso, the beautiful guy who sees her completely. The pull between them is strong, but not strong enough to stop pulling tricks to outprank each other. Can Saki admit her feelings before it’s too late?
This was a hilarious read with the continuation of each house trying to pull the best, over-the-top pranks. In the midst of the chaos, 2 more members happen to fall in love. Another great read! Looking forward to the next book!
I am in LOVE with Saki & Picasso!! She’s adorable with random statistics & her denial of her feelings for him. And him? OMG, where do I get one?! Soooo GOOD!! I loved this one even more than LOVE by Pranks! I may have a weakness for those artistic types tho. If you’re looking for fuuny, steamy, sweet, a dash of drama & angst, look no further! This book has it all! I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
I absolutely LOVED Saki and Picasso’s book!! I once again died laughing…but this time the drama really got to me. Not knowing who was hurting the Iota’s…and the Blossoms. Ugh. Highly recommend this book if you love to prank, or even if you don’t!! These two houses sure are creative!! I love it!!
4.5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this visit back to the Blossoms and the Dudes and their ongoing prank war!
I was expecting a different couple, but actually I was really pleased that it was actually this pair! The Sexual tension between Picasso and Saki was intense. Picasso seems the most mature of the Dudes and oozes charisma, hey I’m a sucker for an artist what can I say!
The Blossoms have definitely upped their game with the pranks too, their first one in this story had me in stitches, the way they try to maintain poker faces too makes me laugh. If you like your romance heavy on the comedy and steam this one is right up your street!
My Review
Five delicious Picasso stars!!
I loved the first book to this series and was so excited to get another pranking couple to read. I think I might have even liked this book a little more. Sunniva’s humor is so much like my own, subtle. Goofy, and dry. I smile as I’m reading shaking my head at the silliness of it.
The pranking in this book isn’t as much in the first, but the ones they do are just as good. This book revolves more around the new pair trying to make something work. Or I should say Picasso is trying his damn hardest to make it work with Saki. Saki is reluctant and scared, but the pull she has towards Picasso is undeniable. They start sneaking around and provide us such a sensual, sexy reading experience, seriously Picasso and Saki are one HOT couple.
Quickly their lust and passion for one another turn into a lot more and they need to try to figure out how to make it work when they are supposed to be “enemies.”
“I nuzzle his neck like we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, not arch frat-enemies from opposite houses.”
Picasso and Saki have this connection that you can feel as you read; it gives you butterflies in your stomach while you’re reading their chemistry. I read a lot, and I read a lot of romance, it’s hard to get that giddy feeling in my belly anymore, but Picasso and Saki did it for me!
“I don’t love you because you looked at me the most. It’s just that…I always feel you across the room wherever you are. It’s like we’ve got a magnetic chip each, and they pull us together.”
I wanted it to work out so bad for the two of them, but someone had a different idea and is bound and determined to destroy their relationship as well as the frenemy relationship between the Dudes and the Blossoms. Whoever it is has them questioning everyone even the closest of friends. It makes for a very hostile and tense situation.
I was trying to figure out “who did it” the whole time and every time I thought I had it Sunniva threw me off. This is a definite must-read for RomCom lovers; I recommend starting with the first book to get to know the Dudes and the Blossoms!
I will be honest, I had a few reservations going into book two of this series. After all, what seemed fresh, fun and charming the first time around can and often does lose some of it’s shine the second time around. However, I am delighted to say that the author did an amazing job of not only bringing back everything that made the first book so enjoyable (heat, heart & humor), but added a hefty dose of mystery to keep things fresh. I do recommend that you read book one first. This book is Saki and Picasso’s story. I really liked these two. Opposites attract and that is certainly true of this couple. I found Picasso incredibly swoon worthy and in my opinion Saki was a very lucky girl. With the angst and forbidden element of these two being on opposing side of this on-going prank war, hot & steamy scenes, drama, mystery, suspense and sweet emotions, this book will have you laughing out loud as your heart melts.
Fun read! Loved the pranks, lots of laughs and love, classic Sunniva Dee humor and hotness! Picasso has all the hallmarks to be one of my favorite heroes, he drips charisma the way this author writes him.
5 LOVE STARS!! Love, Love, Love this book!! This author storytelling is phenomenal…..I love this series!! Saki and Picasso story is funny, loving and touched my heart. This book has everything us romance readers look for in a five star read.
Where was this fun when I was in college?!
As I said in my review of book 1, I am not a RomCom person. I like my books broody and angsty and slow-burning and emotional.
But.
The characters in this series are just so fun to read! They are each so unique and each adds their je ne sais quoi to the mix creating a perfect balance.
I think Saki might be my favorite. She is “the brain” and routinely gave “fun facts” during her inner monologues. She is also apparently of a mixed heritage, and that added something special to the story too.
Picasso is more reserved than his brethren, and I rather liked that. He obviously likes Sake, has for some time, and it’s absolutely adorable, the gestures he shows her. Well, except the very first one that he wrapped…Lol! Oy…
Sunniva REALLY hit it out of the park with the chemistry between this couple. Picasso gave me SO many “AWWW!” moments. So. Many. He is absolutely PERFECT.
And the big mystery that had BOTH houses on edge kept me GLUED to the pages. I thought I knew the answer, but then I wasn’t so sure, and I couldn’t put it down until I KNEW. But then, something happened with Saki and Picasso, so I had to keep reading until I saw how that played out…I read this for a loooooong time and LOVED every minute.
This is book 2 in this series, focusing on a different couple, and while I don’t know that it’s 100% necessary to have read book 1, I would honestly say it’s 80% necessary if you want to get the whole picture of the dynamic between the Blossoms and the Dudes, their pranks, etc.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT BOOK!!!
