[18+] COLLEGE ICE HOCKEY ROMANCE *~*~* Conrad Taylor is an asshole - everyone knows that. But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care. He certainly doesn't, not when he's too busy riding around with a visible chip on his shoulder. And boy, are they nice shoulders. *~*~* Sophie Pritchett craves normalcy after a lifetime of self-imposed isolation. With her dad's support and her therapist's gentle encouragement, she finally feels ready to step out into the world - or at least into a shared off-campus apartment with a few strangers. Tentatively, of course. Totally doable, right? Only it's not that easy. The girls aren't for the faint-hearted, and that's exactly what Sophie is. Her struggles with personal boundaries and social settings make it more than obvious that she's weird - and that's not including her strange obsession. When the hockey team starts volunteering at the hospital where Sophie teaches art therapy, she suddenly has the perfect excuse to feed that obsession - one that just happens to have Conrad Taylor written all over it. But when an unlikely friendship begins to form between Sophie, Conrad, and Casey - a witty little boy who's been dealt an unfair hand in life - Sophie learns there's a lot more hidden beneath the rude, sarcastic, and cold exterior of Conrad. Maybe he's just a broken little boy with a heart that feels too much. *~*~* Grumpy/Sunshine - Bad boy/Good girl - hates everyone except her Romance with a Brooke Bennett spin on it😜 Book 2 in the Campus Kings Series, but can be read as a STAND-ALONE. Mature 18+ (Language, content, all that good stuff) Enough character development to turn the devil back into an angel. New chapters every Wednesday and Sunday. *Big Fat Smooch* Good to see you again, my lovelies.

"I like kissing you Ellie, are you really gonna make me stop?" ☆☆☆ Elzay Blaine has never fit into her own life. As a matter of fact she has felt cast out since she was born, when her father decided he could handle two kids but not three. Her father walked out on them before she was even born, and her mother died shortly after, leaving her and her older sister in the care of her much older brother. But truthfully, Ellie has no memory of her life before moving to Los Angeles, California. With her brother being a wealthy businessman and her sister being a world famous supermodel, Ellie has only known the luxury life of LA, but even at a young age she realized she was far too different and that different wasn't good. Different wasn't accepted. It made you a misfit. Damon Parker, son of tech mogul Dante Parker and heir of Parker Industries. A wealthy bad boy with a reputation that precedes him. Sharp cheekbones and a glare so cold it could freeze fire. He has no interest in following the rules of life, or following in the wealthy footsteps of his father. He's a misfit in the expectations of society and the black sheep in his own family. Damon not only has a rebellious reputation, but a dirty one too. It's known that he doesn't like anyone, not even the many girls he sleeps with. He tolerates, and if you really piss him off, he'll shred you to pieces with his words alone. He doesn't dislike, he hates. He doesn't like and he absolutely does not love...at least not until he started his senior year at a new school. Overalls, glasses, short brown hair, and a girl who is fascinated by anything that lies beyond the planet earth. Damon quickly realizes there is only one person that is his exception. It isn't a secret that Ellie is bullied in school, and she's ready to get her senior year over with. But with Damon around, maybe the year won't be so bad. Maybe these two misfits will find comfort in the most unexpected of places...with each other.

Daniela O'Brien. Dani is the girl you would say has absolutely no luck going for her at all. Two dead parents, an estranged sister and an abusive, controlling boyfriend who's keeping one hell of a secret from her. At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him. At 25 years old, he's the leader of the most powerful Italian mafia in America. He's busy fighting off the Irish Mob who are neighbouring him in New York. They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide. Read with caution please. ⚠️ Completed - 26.05.21
