My life is far from the norm. First off, I'm not your average girl. I'm wild, crazy, and everyone who knows me say's I'm a free spirit. I guess I am, because I don't sweat the little things.
Life is too short.
I love hard and live harder. My dream is to become a star and that dream comes first and foremost before anything and anyone...except for my best friend Savannah, who I'd go to hell and back for. At 24 years old, I'm not looking for love. I'm just looking for a good time and a nice distraction after busting my butt on a movie set all week. The thought of falling in love has never crossed my mind. I'm too driven for love and everything that comes with it.
Meet Dixon Beaumont.
That is until I meet a certain Southern hottie by the name of Dixon Beaumont, who just so happens to be the cousin of Kayden Knox. He flips my world upside down the moment we meet.
My Dilemma...
The only problem is he's the male version of me: Career driven and enjoys having a good time with no plans on settling down.
Throw in a bad boy rocker and a sweet Aussie and I find myself going from a simple, carefree life to a full-blown love square. It's going to be dramatic. But hey, what's life without a little drama?
Warning: Prepare to laugh your butt off and become extremely hot & bothered! Brooklyn Bennett breaks the mold when it comes to female heroines, she is not your average chick! She loves sex, hot guys, and her best friend Savannah fiercely and has a slight obsession with Jared Leto.
You got to know me in my best friend Savannah's series. Now it's my turn to tell you my story and for you to see my best friend's journey to her happily ever after through my eyes.

The one thing I've been missing walks into my life. A man with blue-green eyes that sets my soul on fire. I sure didn't see Mr. Sexy in my stars. Ironically, I meet the man of my dreams in Alabama. He's a handsome helicopter pilot who moved into 9G down the hall. Our chemistry is off-the-charts HOT! He thinks I'm a sweet, southern girl. And for now, that's enough. There is no reason to share my secret yet. It serves no purpose for him to know I'm the hottest act on The Vegas Strip. A million-dollar diva with a show of my own. Experience has proven that information changes men. They stereotype me, and I am not a 'sex worker.' I'm a dancer who sells the suggestion of seduction. As a matter of fact, my Rule #1 is: No touching. So, my game plan is simple. Seduce him. See if this magical feeling between us is love. If the fireworks explode into something real, I'll share my secret then. But if the fireworks implode, there was no need for him to have known. Time to test Mr. Sexy's desire. Is it lust or love?Complete

Ours To Be (All Ours, #1)
𝓘𝓼𝓪𝓫𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪 ♥︎ Not many things have managed to catch me off guard in this life after enduring years of trauma. But Kayden did. He came out of the blue, so sudden, the whiplash is practically everlasting. I've always prided myself in having my shit together and priorities straight- and I did. Until life decided to throw me curveball in the form of a perfectly handsome, charming and oh so out of my league man. I don't even understand why. I was doing just fine without him, in law school at twenty-two, focus set on my studies of becoming a successful lawyer and following in my grandparents' footsteps, surrounded by the most amazing group of friends. But it doesn't matter. When Kayden Dominguez sets his mind and heart to something- he will get it. And my façade might not be strong enough to stop him. 𝓚𝓪𝔂𝓭𝓮𝓷 ♡︎ Despite what the tabloids might say about me, I'm not ignorant or stupid. I know I am that guy your parents would warn you about growing up, maybe still to this day. I am the son of Alejandro- and Alexia Dominguez. Owners of the biggest label company in Southern California. Maybe even the entire state. That itself will have people build and paint your persona to what they think you entail. Good thing I don't give a single shit about that whole puppet show called the media. I'd even go as far as to admit I go through my days feeling superfluous. I lived a pretty hollow life. I don't know how or why that changed the second I met her. It was like something clicked. Had you told me this would happen the day before, I would've probably punched you out cold. But like I said, she waltzed into my life and...I haven't been the same since. I just know I want Isabella Khalil, the ultimate woman of my dreams, to be mine. But how exactly do you pursue the only woman you've ever truly wanted, who also happens to be the only person ever to refuse tumbling for your charms?Complete

Living with a YouTuber?!
This is a sequel, so read "Dating a YouTuber?!" first. I wholeheartedly loved and trusted Nate despite having known him less than a year. I had a million reasons why I shouldn't move in with him but I decided to ignore them and trust my gut feeling rather than my head. I knew people would say it was too soon and that I'd be giving up even more privacy living with a YouTuber who daily vlogged. Slowly but surely I was being wrapped in various YouTube activities and it had become a significant part of my life. I would be busier than ever when I went back to university and continued to run my now high-profile blog. It would be a challenge to juggle the pressure from the online world while attending my responsibilities, finding time for my passions and maintaining all my personal relationships. I didn't mind though. All the pieces seemed to fall into place and I was so bloody excited to see what the future would bring. *********************************************************** If you're confused, please read "Dating a YouTuber?!" first (check my profile). Blogger and photographer Abigail has agreed to move in with Nate, a.k.a. SillyNate on YouTube, and they are keeping it a secret from his YouTube audience for now. While the main characters (who are ALL fictional) still are the focus, this book will also have many cameos from real life YouTubers and draw on real events.Complete
You Belong With Me (Complete)
Author's note: Before you read this, I just want to let you all know that I have grown up now and I am no longer the same stupid teenager who wrote this with some of the offensive jokes and comments that you may see in here. Clearly, I was still very naive and lacked awareness. I implore you to please read with caution and at your own risk. Some statements will be offensive and I truly apologize (I literally died from cringe when I read this again). I will not delete this seeing as there are still numerous people who choose to read and enjoy it (surprisingly) but I trust that you know better and what is right. ________________ Penelope Myers a.k.a. Pel is one of the teenagers you could describe as a nerd, shy, timid and weird. Even though a lot of people don't like her, this couldn't stop her feelings grow for Jay Richards, the most popular guy in their school. She would do anything just to get him. But when Jay and Kate Jenkins (the meanest, most popular cheerleader in school) started dating, her heart was immediately shattered into a million pieces. She knew she couldn't beat Kate since she was a bully, perfect, popular and most of all possessive. She could be scary. Daniel Harper a.k.a. Danny is one of Pel's best friends. He was as nerdy as her and a bit shy too. He knew about her feelings for this Jay guy and he didn't like it at all. You see, he had a secret crush on Pel since they first met and no one knew it except him. But when he saw how sad and desperate Pel was after finding out Jay and Kate's relationship, he decided to help her get him anyway. He only wanted her happiness after all. But can Danny change Pel's mind along the way and be his instead? This story is a simple teen love romance that you would definitely want to read. It includes humor, heartbreak, best friends, crushes and most of all true love. It's cliche as it could get. But hey, life is one big cliche too right? (Trailer on the side)Complete

You are this Drama Queen's Chauvinist," he said and pulled me into a kiss. ********************************************* The drama queen...

But, an affordable apartment in New York City? It is a myth. So, when her best friend's husband offers her to stay in his brother's apartment as a roommate, she takes it. Only problem?
