I loved this book. It was such a fun story and I cannot wait to read more by this author. The character development was great and I felt like there was enough drama to balance the story without it being too dramatic and I love the dialogue between the characters

When I read this book, I remember reading a section in craiglist.com titled Lost Connection. As a romantic at heart, I can not help wondering how many of those lost connection find their connection? Or even better soul mate?
The Subway Girl is about that lost connection. Miss Becker done a fantastic job bringing the story alive. With humor and fun banter. I feel the story telling is refreshing and not boring at all. I only wish the story can be longer a bit more.
Overall, a wonderful book.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Author. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Subway Girl by Lisa Becker is another love story that turned out so much different than one would typically think.
Ryan Carlson is the whole reason why this story exists. He saw a girl on the subway that he thought was beautiful and didn't get a chance to talk to her before she got off at her stop. After that, well, the whole thing got way too complicated once Celebrity Monger got wind. Let's just say that Ryan probably should have said no to doing this project. Ryan is a great guy from a small town in Iowa and is honestly just looking for a girl that wants to spend the rest of their lives together. He goes on an emotional roller coaster ride throughout this entire thing.
What I like about Ryan is that despite being in New York for three years, he is still a sweet, honest guy from Iowa with his manners and weird sense of humor. Another thing that I like about him is that Ryan doesn't want to let go of his faith that there is actually a thing called fate and true love. Is he able to find it though in this subway girl or someone else?
Angie Prince is just a girl who just wants to help pay off the mortgage on her mom's house, get Celebrity Monger to a national tv company, and to quit that job to find one where she can write what she wants to write. Sadly it happens just not in the way she excepted. Angie is a sweet girl who had a tough time in life. She has spent most of her whole life living in New York. Now she has to deal with everything that her company is doing to exploit Ryan's romance. It's just a very sucky time to be alive.
What I like about Angie is that despite her being a small person, she has a temper that can blow a fuse if someone crosses her the wrong way. Despite that, though, she does have a soft side that she lets loose every once and awhile. Another thing that I like about her is that Angie knows what she wants to do and will fight for it.
The Subway Girl by Lisa Becker is a fantastic book from this author. Each of these romances from this author is significantly different while still ringing the same as some of them are within the same universe. I thought that was cool, especially with ties to the last two romance books I have read from this author. Angie and Ryan are two very different characters that somehow fit in perfectly with each other in a way that neither of them thought was possible. I love reading books from Ms. Becker as she brings the total opposite attracts possible. I am giving this book five stars and recommending it to anyone that loves romance.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of The Subway Girl by Lisa Becker.
Until the next time,
Happy Reading!

The Subway Girl is my first book with author Lisa Becker. You can be sure I’m finding time to read more. We all need a little more fun and romantic humor in our lives today. Lisa delivers that in The Subway Girl series.
Love at first sight, romantic country guy vs. cynical city girl, best friends that certainly deserve a story of their own, laugh-out-loud humor, The Subway Girl has it all.
Every good romance book needs a character to hate. The Subway Girl has two. Barry and Harrison. The other characters add a fantastic background to the story of Ryan and Angie. There are roommates, co-workers, best friends, and more that add so much depth to Ryan and Angie’s lives.
Will Ryan and Angie learn to trust their feelings and emotions? Can they each put the past behind them and grasp their fleeting chance at love? Please read the book to discover the twists and turns this story takes on its way to a HEA ending.
Notes for readers: The book uses some language not suitable for all readers. If you are offended by words you might hear on the subway, then you need to be aware they are in this slightly steamy story.

Missed connections. Love at first sight. Sometimes you just need to read a romance that sweeps you away and captures your imagination. Like a good romance flick, Subway Girl kept me guessing, tugged at my heartstrings, and played on that elusive magic you have to believe is possible for romantic serendipity. Congrats to Lisa on another swoony romance.

Do you believe in love at first sight? How far would you go to find that someone? The Subway Girl is the story of how far one guy will go to find that someone and how far a show producer will go to make that happen.

This was sooo cute. Ryan was so swoony and I loved the strong friendship he and Angie had on top of the sizzling chemistry! Ryan’s friend, Luke, might have been my favorite character though. His pick up lines had me laughing out loud (especially the suspended license one

The Subway Girl was a cute contemporary romance. I loved the premise of seeing someone on the subway and then trying to find and connect with them. The book looked at how social media, timing, fate, and maybe a little luck, can all combine to bring strangers together. One of my favorite parts of the book, were the male and female friendships and how supportive and loyal Ryan and Angie's friends were. Luke and Diego were absolutely hilarious and I loved the playful ribbing and teasing between them all. Josie was also so wonderful and I loved her confidence and ride or die attitude. I'm very intrigued by Luke and Josie's budding romance and also the best friend's little sister vibe I'm getting from Diego and Finlay. I also really liked how the story showed the positives and negatives of social media. What is presented to the world can so easily be distorted and in many ways, The Subway Girl was a cautionary tale about not jumping to conclusions and believing everything you see, hear, or read. As much as I liked the characters, I never truly fell in love with Ryan and Angie. Ryan almost seemed too good to be true and he came across as a little too naive. The sexy times were very hot though and I am always a fan of the dirty talking boy scout heroes. Overall, this was an entertaining read that romantics at heart will really enjoy!

A lot of romances stick to a pretty set series of formulas. And every romance reader has their favorites: firemen, enemies to lovers, small town, etc. The first noteworthy thing about THE SUBWAY GIRL is that it is totally fresh and new! You haven't read this story a bunch of times before. It's a breath of fresh air in a genre of well-worn (but also well-loved) tropes.
I loved this story and these characters. Angie is a driven, smart, and real female lead with complexity, but also charm. And Ryan is sugary sweet and utterly swoony!
And the HEAT between Ryan and Angie burned up the pages of this book. Their friendship and their hot romance struck the perfect balance for me.
This is a great read with complex and endearing characters and a unique story that results in a must-read for romance readers!
