auden blake dark heartthrob mentalhealth prepschool slowburn

Auden Fairchild can be described in one words: mystery. With her auburn hair and symmetrical face, she has the potential to be the most popular girl at Stratford High. So no one knows why she chooses to eat in the corner of the cafeteria alone or why she visibly flinches whenever someone comes within a few feet of her. No one knows why she chooses to live amongst the shadows when she could be the brightest burning star.

Blake Larson is the epitome of a hockey heartthrob. He's new to Stratford, all the way from Massachusetts and it seems that the most of his problems is the lousy hockey program at Stratford and the fact that he's single. Lucky for him, his blond hair and green eyes solve the latter. Every girl is attracted to him like moths to a flame. But though his pickings of girls are far from slim, he's drawn to the quiet girl who can't seem to get far enough from him. As he learns more and more about her, every part of him seems to tell him to get away from her, but his infatuation with her grows into something he can't escape.All Rights Reserved

The Roommate (The Camgirl Part 2) by taylorstorms

WARNING: WHOLESOME, BUT SMUTTY AS ALL HELL (Read "The Camgirl" before this!) Blake and Liam are finally together. Blake is pretty sure she might even love Liam. When Blake gets some news that dredges up her past though, she worries. Liam is fine with her being a camgirl, but will he feel the same when he learns what kind of person she really is and how screwed up her family is? Blake has carefully kept that topic out of conversation, but Liam's been asking questions, and she knows it's only a matter of time until she'll have to tell him the truth. In Liam's mind, Blake is the best thing that's ever happened to him. But he felt that way with Marie at first, and that didn't end well. As wonderful as Blake make's him feel, Liam wants to take the rational approach and make sure there aren't any red flags that would pop up down the line that would make things even harder and messier than if he learned of them now. As Liam tries to get Blake to open up, however, she pushes him to be a big rougher with her, to take initiative more. While Liam is all for that, he struggles with it, and even thinks about asking for help... Marie is alone. Things between her and Blake are strained, and she never realized how much Liam had become a fixture in her life. She misses him, but knows he isn't going to take her back, so she spirals. When out at a club one night, she meets two girls. Both are gorgeous. One intrigues her and leaves her wanting. The other takes her home and gives her the best sex of her life, opening her up to an entirely new side of herself. As things heat up with both, Marie finds herself being pushed to choose between the two, but she doesn't know if she CAN choose, or stick to a choice once she makes it. Note: Chapters 1-12 are solely focused on Marie, catching her up to where we left off with Blake and Liam. Don't forget to check out my Patreon! (https://www.patreon.com/taylorstorms)

The Bad Boy and Me by readbooksforever

Meet Violet Summers. She's the sarcastic girl who doesn't really ever get noticed by anyone. She blends into any crowd because of how "normal" she is. And she loves it. She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching. Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.

His Paper Heart ✓ by DamnThatSass

~Highest Rank #60 in humor~ ~#3 in death and life~ Sixteen year old Genevieve Kaelin considers herself a loner, neither a misanthrope nor a deviant. She has simply lost her connection to people and can not get it back as long as she is still the host for rare syndromes. In a town as small as Granville, the news of her disease spread like wild fire before the doctor even announced to her family. People of Granville can be sympathetic, however, they have the ability to avoid Genevieve like a plague, as if her illness is contagious. So what's the point of trying to fit into society when she knows how feeble her heart gets when she feels everything too much? That is until she meets the shining beacon for the recklessly chaotic, Gray Easton. Who says you can only find love in a coffee shop? On an autumnal night, Genevieve walks into a tattoo parlour with her twin sister to get a tattoo and break the chain of being the angel and goodie two shoes. There's one thing they have in common - almost. Gray can't feel. He claims he has a paper heart but perhaps, words have emotion and if she were to write on his paper heart, he would feel something. Anything. Even if it's unending irritation of dealing with Genevieve's perks and need to be a sinner. But is she willing to risk her life and heart for him to feel love? Cover by @destrction Unedited. ~ ~ In which a girl with three deathly syndromes triggered by strong emotions falls in love with me, Gray Easton, the paper heart activist. Note: This book raises awareness on religion, mental health, bullying, people of color, rare syndromes and gender equality.

Cold and Charisma (BoyxBoy) by asphericity

Riley Lachkov's life has only ever consisted of one thing - soccer. Raised in a family where emotions don't exist, Riley has put on a cold-front for as long as he could remember. Many people think that they know him - a cocky, arrogant, rude jerk who couldn't give less of a shit about what others think, but deep down, there's a part of him that no one has ever seen. A part of him that he never wants anyone to see. Archer Wilson has got everything going for him. From being at the top of all of his classes, to also being the most popular boy in school, his life is perfect. Everyone who knows Archer can confirm that he is anything but mean - with his charismatic personality, and his ability to make anyone swoon for him, he's the golden boy at Saint Arthur's Preparatory School. When Riley's family immigrated from Russia to the States, he struggles to fit in, finding it difficult to start his entire life over when the only thing he's ever known was his life back in his home country. His closed off personality and his tendency to act like a total douchebag didn't help either - in fact, it just made people want to stay away from him even more. But that doesn't stop Archer from trying. In fact, it makes him more intrigued in this new, feisty transfer student, more keen to break down all the walls that Riley has worked so hard to keep up for his entire life. Archer can't help but praise him for every little thing he does- in his eyes, Riley was an angel. He knew he was whipped the moment he saw him. What happens when Archer, the top student at Saint Arthur's, suddenly begins to develop an interest in the new transfer student, whose personality is as cold as ice? Will Riley finally begin to let him in, or will he continue to push him out, like he's done throughout his entire life? tropes: #grumpyxsunshine, #polaropposites, #slowburn, #temporaryunrequitedlove #popularnerdxlonelyathlete All Rights Reserved to Asphericity

Until I Met You by reannekennedy17

UNEDITED After violating campus rules and committing student misconduct, twenty-three-year-old Warren Ashford is deep trouble and at risk of losing his volleyball scholarship -- the one thing he truly values other than his bad boy reputation, and his family. There's only one way Warren can salvage the scholarship that's giving him a free ride through university and that involved keeping his lifestyle low-key. Meaning, no partying at clubs on Friday nights and no late-night hookups with random girls. No fun. Just him, his education, and volleyball. Oh -- and the high-strung, sassy girl with the deepest brown eyes he's ever seen. The moment she walks into his dorm room -- the same room she's staying in because of a glitch in the computer system -- he wants nothing more than to strip her down both physically and mentally. Not only is she immune to boys like Warren, but she makes it obvious that she's not interested in having any kind of relationship with the campus' star athlete. Warren likes the challenge, but little does he know that Nova Elliot, behind her spitfire attitude and deep brown eyes, is still nursing a broken heart and a past full of despair. The last thing she wants is to hand her heart over to a boy like Warren Ashford (who has a faultless smoulder) -- the kind that only ends up breaking hearts after toying with them. But as the winter semester passes and the heat of summer arrives, Warren's bad boy charm begins to crack Nova's structurally built walls as the two of them head out on an unforgettable trip to Halifax. The two of them begin to learn that two people often fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time and do unexpected things.
