In a realm that practically worships brainpower, there's a guy named Ryan who's got more facts in his head than the entire royal library. But here's the catch: he knows zilch about the crazy rollercoaster called love. Seriously, the dude's a walking encyclopedia on everything from dragons to quasars, but ask him about romance, and he's as clueless as a cat in a maze.

Enter Leah, the queen of carefree vibes and the princess of "Who needs school?" attitude. She's got dreams, big ones, but the world's convinced her they're just for fairy tales. And hey, what's life without a little rebellion against societal expectations, right?

When these two collide, it's like mixing up a science experiment: unpredictable and potentially explosive. Leah teaches Ryan about the school of "Winging It," while Ryan tries to tutor Leah in the advanced subject of "Taking Life Seriously Sometimes."

As their worlds collide, Ryan's heart starts acting weirder than a frog in a physics lab. He's feeling things he never thought he would, like heartbeats that sound like drum solos and a tendency to blush that'd put a tomato to shame.

But guess what? And then there's Ryan's mom, who's basically the queen of queens when it comes to control. She's got plans for Ryan that involve more thrones and less fun than he'd like. But hey, love's all about overcoming obstacles, right?

So, as Ryan and Leah stumble through this hilarious mess of feelings, crazy friends, and a royal charade that could put Shakespeare to shame, they'll discover that maybe, just maybe, the most fascinating subject in the world isn't in a book-it's in their hearts. Get ready for a tale that's more epic than a quest, more jaw-dropping than a dragon sighting, and more heartwarming than a dragon with a hot cocoa addiction.

~~~~~ "C'mon, cupcake. Why are you always trying to avoid me? All you're doing is delaying the inevitable." "And what's that?" Rylan spits, annoyed. He brushes her hair gently behind her ear. Rylan flinches when Blake's hand makes contact with her skin. "I enjoy taking what I can't have, especially when it's a challenge. I want what I want. And you...are something I desperately want." ~~~~~ "Do you think you're special, Rylan? Are you really so stupid that you think you're better than me--that you have a say in what goes on in my classroom?" Mr. Quinn asks in a deep, menacing voice. He glares at Rylan and digs his fingers into the skin on her forearms. "You don't. You. are. nothing. So you better get that through your thick, little skull." Mr. Quinn presses his face closer to Rylan's so she has to turn her head to escape his hot breath. He lets go of her left arm and grabs her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. "I. abhor. you. And all students like you. I'm in the position of power here. You'd do well to remember that." ~~~~~ If Rylan had it her way, she'd be going to school, hanging out with her friends in her free time, and returning home every day to two loving parents and the safety of her home. But if life has taught her anything, it's that you rarely ever get to have things your way. Her school life is quickly becoming a nightmare. Her English teacher is emotionally unstable under the professional front he puts up and Rylan has managed to catch the eye of the resident "bad boy" and his cronies, which doesn't seem to be boding well for her. Rylan can't even count on her house to be a safe haven anymore--not while her nightmares can penetrate walls. It's not just her happiness that's at stake here. It's her life. But can she stand up to the people who scare her most, or will she end up just another statistic? --------- © 2015 Miranda JK

A parody... except it slowly gets less satirical as I get way too attached to the characters and turn the story into a shipping-fest ~~~~ "Why are you doing this?" I whispered. He slammed me against another locker. I could see anger, sadness, envy, happiness and lust in his teal green orbs. "Because you're mine." He smirked, gnashing his teeth against mine. ~~~~ Brynn Winters is a 17 year old good girl. She is sweeter than sugar. She is also sarcastic and quirky and innocent and naive and snarky and is a bookworm and not like other girls. She also has trauma to (barely) compensate for her lack of personality. She believes in love but she has never experienced any, until she met him. Ryder Daniels is a 18 year old bad boy. He is sweeter than sin. He is dark and mysterious and plays football (not shown in book). He smokes and drinks beer. He is a ladies' man and a player. He has walls around his heart and some dark secrets that is definitely not spoiled in the title. He does not believe in love. Brynn and Ryder are opposites. So what happens when they meet? He is not who she thinks he is. Will it end in disaster? Or will it end in love? Will it end in flames? Or will it end in a different kind of flame? As disasters come their way, will they choose love or not love? Will their secrets drive them apart? Or will they trust in each other? Join them on their journey of love. There will be love, annoying sluts, conversations that doesn't pass the Bechdel test, cliche tropes, glaring plot holes, subtly glaring plot holes, socialism, orbs, humor, secondhand embarrassment and the tiniest hints of homoeroticism. ~~~~ Reviews (aka criticisms that I'm too lazy to correct): "From a horribly done parody to horribly done leftist propaganda." "Brynn and Ryder are the most frustrating couple I've ever read." "Where humor" "You can't use parody as an excuse for bad writing, you know."
