My novella A Taste of Jellybean Kisses is available on Amazon, bn.com and iBooks. It’s a sweet New Adult romance that I’m really excited to be sharing with you. What’s the opposite of friends with benefits? Jax and Jacey. Bends with Frenefits. Significant others who don’t f*ck, or kiss or do anything in between. Voted cutest couple every year since preschool, they’ve been official since ninth grade. With Jax’s help, Jacey’s gone from the sister of the school slut to the popular Ice Queen, and works hard to keep her reputation clean. Jax was happy to be the only one who saw the warm girl she’d always been in the years before but by senior year, she’s freezing him out too. He just wants something real before they graduate, but Jacey figures that since she’s loved him forever, they have forever to wait. A Taste is the prequel, a novella of flashbacks and vignettes so you can get to know Jax and Jacey and fall in love with JELLYBEAN KISSES too which will be out in a couple weeks. To celebrate, I have a big giveaway going and you can win just by commenting, or joining my street team. Check it out in the external links! I look forward to hearing from you!

Stereotypes. I hate them. On my first day at my new school, a girl in a blue and white cheerleader's uniform told me I 'looked like a cheerleader' and asked me to come to tryouts. I almost decked her. Blonde hair and blue eyes do not a cheerleader make. Cheerleaders can be bitchy and mean but they can also act all happy and excited and they can drool and swoon over Finn Wallace – the hands-down hottest guy in school – like there's no tomorrow. Me? Well, I'm just bitchy and mean. So someone please tell me why Finn Wallace is suddenly chasing after me? *This is NOT a Bridgit Mendler fan fiction* Copyright © 2013 CrayonChomper
