When his procrastination lands him in a difficult class with his least favorite professor, Henry Turner knows heā€™s going to have to work extra hard to survive his junior year of college. And now with his new title of captain for the hockey teamā€”which he didnā€™t even wantā€”Henry absolutely cannot fail. Enter Halle Jacobs, a fellow junior who finds herself befriended by Henry when he accidentally crashes her book club.

Halle may not have the romantic pursuits of her favorite fictional leads, but sheā€™s an academic superstar, and as soon as she hears about Henryā€™s problems with his class reading material, she offers to help. Too bad being a private tutor isnā€™t exactly ideal given her own studies, job, book club, and the novel sheā€™s trying to write. But new experiences are the key to beating her writerā€™s block, and Henryā€™s promising to be the one to give them to her.

They just need to stick to their rule book.

Oh, and not fall in love.

Reese Landry is not what he appears to be. Sure, heā€™s Orleans Universityā€™s all-star catcher and the number one MLB draft pick. And there is no question that heā€™s devastatingly handsome, my-family-owns-a-private-jet rich, and stupidly charming. But underneath that silver-spoon playboy appearance, heā€™s sweeter than honey, the kindest soul youā€™ll ever meet, and much to his chagrin, the bane of Vivienne Brentwoodā€™s existence. Vivienne Brentwood is an introverted extrovert whoā€™s obsessed with all things spooky. When Viv was in 11th grade, her dad passed away, and her mom has been consumed by depression ever since. Viv has had […]

Well, color me shocked. I didn’t think I liked the rockstar romance trope, but apparently, I was very, VERY wrong.  Jackson Phillips may come off as a sarcastic, uncaring, rockstar playboy, but deep down, he’s a loyal, loving, tender-hearted teddy bear. And he loves to play the guitarā€”like, a lot. All Jackson wants is to be in a band and go on tour. However, Jackson’s dad thinks he’d be throwing his life away and vehemently disapproves of Jackson’s musical dreams. So Jackson is begrudgingly attending his first semester at the University of South Florida with his best friend, Matt. But […]

Seventeen years of friendship. Thirteen years of loving each other. Six years of heartache. And one year to finally get it right. Teddy and Clara meet one rainy afternoon at a summer camp for homeschooled kids. Their friendship is forged over a game of Trivial Pursuit, a 3-legged race, a sprained ankle, and a can of Pepsi. Phone numbers are exchanged, many phone calls are made, mixed CDs are burned, and The Long-Distance History Club is formed ā€” two adorably nerdy kids who quickly become best friends. I was not expecting this to be such an angsty, wonderful, […]
