Working at the local diner as a waitress isn’t exactly Frankie Grahams’ dream job, but she’s not about to start complaining when the tips are this good. She just places a smile on her face, serves the creepy customers and counts the seconds until she can finally leave. It’s the way it has always been. Working at the diner has never been anything other than a job for her, and a source of annoyance for her boyfriend Everett. Having to work every day after school and most weekends on top of that would not be easy on any relationship, but they are just about making it work. Just.
Frankie’s life is normal, bordering on monotonous, and most of the time that’s the way she likes it.
Except now she’s being forced to work alongside an utter idiot. Frankie’s new shift partner is a complete enigma. On the outside, he looks like just like every other bad-boy wannabe with gelled hair and piercings. Except instead of being rude and arrogant, he’s clumsy, barely speaks and she doesn’t even know his name. After a particularly disastrous shift, Frankie’s adamant she wants nothing more to do with him, but soon she starts to uncover what lies behind the mask. And the truth of it might just turn her world completely upside-down.

Another mistake and his hands are set clean, leaving her to face the consequences of her actions for once.

That WAS her plan. But it only took one party to change everything. A party where she meets Ryan, a clear skin, plaid wearing shirt lover whose existence is the Trojan horse to people like Arya. His innocence is etched in his features, his skin is as smooth as that of a baby, and he likes to drink... coke? But along with the party, and Ryan came trouble, a fight between attendees that lined up Arya's life in a series of events that she was never prepared to face. 🚨 This is a work of fiction, I don't push or support any ideas, opinions, or beliefs of the characters in the book.

I Checked Out the Badboy's Boxers
"Not the typical cliche teen fiction" "You're hooked from the get go. Pretty much similar to when you can't stop eating till the last slice of pizza, or have the eagerness to pee, but can't because you're scared that if you stop reading you'll miss the intensity each word brings." "There isn't even a word good enough to describe this book. I'm speechless." - "Please Lexa?" Elle looks at me, "Just fill in my spot for ten minutes." At that moment I was calm, what could go wrong with running a checkout isle for ten minutes? As it turns out, everything. -- "Why are you checking me out?" His voice questions. Even his voice is the sexiest thing I've ever heard. Not to mention the broad shoulder, killer jawlined boy it came from. "I wasn't, I swear!" My cheeks blush ferociously. How the hell did he notice? In fact I'd always thought I was pretty stealthy. He just chuckles and looks at me, a rambling mess, "Yes you are." "Okay, alright, you know what-" I pause trying to pick up the pieces of my shattered dignity from the floor, "Maybe you shouldn't come in here like a fracking ambercrombie model and then on top of that blame a poor little innocent girl for looking-" "I meant those. You're checking me out." He gestures to the items laying across the counter and the scanner in my hand. Oh shit. Let me just repeat that for a moment now. Oh shit. -- Started: 12/27/15 Ended: 10/24/18 February 2019: #1 HUMOR -- Warning: I cannot guarantee you will walk away from this book unaffectedComplete
