Frat King Carter Hopkins is a master in the art of objectifying women. In his time at Scottsden University, he’s developed a fool-proof rating system to figure out who's worth his time, and who's not. And Violet Gables, an awkward and seemingly plain freshman, comes up short as only a six and half out of ten—and is therefore not on Carter's radar. But when Violet saves a drunken Carter Hopkins from losing his soccer scholarship at a frat party, Carter feels he’s in her debt and wants to repay her somehow. He decides to grace her with the ultimate weapon--the secrets on how to make any guy find her attractive. Carter unveils the logic of his rating system, with a guarantee that though Violet may look like a 6 ½, by the time he’s through with her, any guy will rate her as a 10. As obnoxious as Carter may be, Violet plays his game just so she can prove him wrong in the end. But what happens if Carter's plan starts to succeed, and guys begin treating Violet like the 10 she's secretly long to be. And what if Carter starts to develop feelings for his project, but now she's out of his league? After all, love is just a numbers game, and the highest score always wins. Please follow/comment/vote!

Host Club (noun): A type of business in Japan that resembles an escort service. However, the hosts are male, service is very expensive, and does not offer sex. Rather, it is more like paying an incredibly good looking guy to go on a date with you and flirt relentlessly. Kissing, cuddling, and holding hands may or may not be allowed depending on the club you go to. 25 year old Rika Diaz was fairly content to go to work, come home, eat, sleep and then do it all over again. But when her best friend of 20 years suddenly decides to sink her teeth into one of the most untouchable hosts in all of Japan, Rika is brought along for the ride. However, when Issen, arrogant and beautiful reveals to Rika that what she calls contentment is just an excuse to reject men before they reject her, will she finally open up her heart and let Issen help her, or will she continue to keep it under lock and key?
