When the quiet girl in Clayton Hugh's chemistry class comes knocking on his door at five in the morning barely covered up in her little pajamas, inattentive, and drooling like crazy, he has no choice but to take her inside. But once Lucy Walker wakes up inside a room she has never seen before wearing an over-sized t-shirt and gym shorts, you can imagine the pure panic setting in her. The subtle addition of Clayton entering the room shirtless doesn't help much either. After three years of fawning over him, leave it up to her sleepwalking to finally get Clayton Hugh to notice her.

Everyone who works within the New York Warriors organization knows that star player August Fletcher refuses to talk to most people...and especially team reporters. All except Quinn Castle, that is. Quinn doesn't know why the broody football player has singled her out, but she knows she doesn't like it-not when being around him and his hot gazes makes her feel like she might accidentally do something that risks her career. So when August unexpectedly retires, Quinn can't help but feel relieved...until she finds herself with a new assignment: spend the summer in August's hometown on Evergreen Isle and write a flashy retirement piece on the Warrior's biggest star. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the team's secret agenda: convince August to return to New York. It would be easy enough...if it weren't her job on the line if she doesn't see it through. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the heat in August Fletcher's eyes.

Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*

What happens when brooding quarterback, Holden Steele, falls for a broken girl? ********* All artistic eighteen-year-old, Savannah Raine, wanted when she joined university was a fresh start. A blank canvas that wasn't mired by the memory of her dead brother or her psychotic ex boyfriend. She had no intention of spattering paint on her otherwise bland love life. She didn't mean to get caught up in his cold grey eyes, but the heart was an unforseen organ and maybe her's craved pain. No one could blame her though, certain not the female population. You see, it's impossible to resist a bad boy that is a good man. Even harder when he came in the form of brooding quarterback, Holden Steele. For two years, he had been content with admiring her from afar, but when fate-or rather a cramped collage bathroom-brings them together, he's intent on making her his.

With senior year well underway, Cali's plan to get into Fenton University's elusive Masters of Nursing program is set into motion. The competition is stiff, but she has a sure-fire way to get her where she wants to go. That is, until Cali's success lies in the prized member of the boxing team-Lincoln Pierce. Now tasked with tutoring the brooding fighter to secure a letter of reference from her professor, Cali launches herself at the opportunity. But she soon realises that Lincoln is a hell of a lot more than she bargained for. Lincoln Pierce has no idea what he's doing or where he's going. One thing is for sure-he wants nothing to do with tutoring and even less to do with Cali, especially when her determination soon threatens to expose secrets he's purposefully left in the dark. But with his grades slipping, there's more than just Lincoln's full-ride scholarship on the line. Lincoln must accept Cali's help or lose everything he's fought for. And as it turns out, she may end up getting more than a little extra credit. ______ Book 1 in the Fenton U series Perfect for readers of Elle Kennedy's Off Campus series, and Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. * * * * * Copyright of Luisa Dituri © All rights reserved.

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
