comedy coming-of-age fiction romance ya young-adult

Twenty-year-old Rachel West has dedicated her life to her one, big dream -- to become a respected journalist. 

Fresh out of university and over the moon to be starting her new job at a national newspaper, Rachel feels that her dream may soon be a reality. But when it becomes apparent her new employers aren't interested in hard hitting exposés, Rachel finds herself having to write about the one thing she knows nothing of -- relationships. 

Although largely sceptical and somewhat terrified of what she'll uncover, Rachel is determined to prove herself. So, with her small group of friends acting as guides, she embarks into the uncharted world of dating. And as her journey takes her deeper into the pursuits of love, Rachel starts to wonder if maybe she shouldn't have been so quick to judge.

If Only by LucyAmandaWrites

Set in modern day London, If Only opens with its central character, Olivia, making a pretty bold statement - "Women are delusional." Starting from age four, Olivia then begins to dissect her past failed relationships in order to finally discourage herself from believing in Hollywood style romances. Writing with brutal honesty, she reminisces over her first loves, one night stands, online dating history, the short affair she had with an ACTUAL millionaire, and finally the so-called love of her life, who has just walked out on her. Each chapter represents another phase in her life and another failed attempt at securing a movie worthy love story. Throughout the journey, the reader is privy to Olivia's views on life as a millennial, homosexuality, friendships, ambition, body confidence, and ultimately, love.

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Soz this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

Trapped In Love ✓ by StellaAdamsHere

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*
