Ana's life hasn't exactly turned out the way she planned it. Working as an editor for a New York magazine, she rarely has time for anything remotely resembling a love life. With her niece's wedding coming up, her family was concerned with her "Single as a pringle" relationship status, constantly asking when she was going to settle down. One late night, while working from home, she received a call from her long distance bestie. While listening to her friend's latest dating escapade, she prepared herself for bed. Opening her closest door, Ana was startled when a little black box fell from the top shelf. Opening it, she was transported back into another life. What started as a light hearted catchup call with her best friend, ended with her going down the rabbit hole of how she and her ex-fiance first got together. With the wedding coming up and the shock of a surprise wedding guest, she had to prepare for what could be the throwback of a lifetime.
With so much of the past behind her, would the present be able to bring them back together?

They find each other by chance -or rather a roommate ad online.The perfect combination of passion and promises. 10/10 would read again." - unconsciouslyReading Adventurous, lustful, comical, just an all around amazing book that took you for a roller coaster ride. Of all the books I've read, so far this is my favorite. Highly Recommended!!! - Ellie_Mad1son **** "You really don't like me, huh?" I crossed my arms when I finally saw him on the threshold. "I don't have to like you. I need your money to pay the bills and that's it. For all I care, we can be perfect strangers." He laughed. "So much hatred coming from a shy nerd ..." "So much smugness coming from a boy whose living arrangement is in my hands ..." Lukas raised his hands in mock surrender. "Touché." He laughed. "Man, are you feisty ..." "Maybe I'm in a bad mood." "My fault?" I arched an eyebrow at him. "You tell me, you're the one that basically broke into my house." "Hey, I knocked. You didn't hear me." "That's when you wait, and knock again, Sherlock." I scoffed. Lukas smirked smugly, his eyes once again raking over my full frame. "Didn't know I'd find you naked, sweetheart. In that case I wouldn't have even knocked ..." 🔥🔥🔥 You can review Roommates with Benefits on Goodreads!

Lost to the true definition of love, Brie meets Adrian, a man daring enough to love her though he knows it may not end well. She falls hard for him, her reality of love far greater than her fantasies, but when a familiar pain resurfaces in paradise, and she feels like she may be walking down memory lane, will she have it in her to fight? Or is the fear of going through anything that resembles her childhood greater than her dream to finally find love? Love meets reality in this epic novel. *** "Excuse me, you seem lost in thought. Did you want to buy something or do I need to direct you home again?" "What?" She laughs, "It was a joke, Jeez. The last time you were in here you seemed like you had a sense of humor. Where'd that go?" "I have this neighbor who basically sucks the life and humor out of people. Unfortunately, I am a recent victim." "I know how that feels, trust me. I have one in my life too." "Anyway, what can I do for you Mr. ..." "Please call me Adrian." "Okay Adrian, what can I do for you today?" "Actually, I was passing by, and I thought I should say thank you for the other day." "That's nice, but you didn't have to. I didn't really do anything a human being wouldn't." "Hey, don't sell yourself short. You did a lot for me. If you didn't save my ass, I may have been a missing person by now, or worse that guy on the news they keep saying is nowhere to be found." "How can I argue when you mentioned the guy on the news. The news never lies, and I'm sure you don't either. You're right, I should be thanked for saving a life." "Not just A life, but many lives. Think of my poor mother and my friends and family. How would they live without me, huh?" "You're right, I saved a generation that day." We're both laughing very hard and it feels just right. Talking to her was easy.

{18+ COMPLETED • COLLEGE ROMANCE} When a college freshman with a learning disability and a reputation collides with a straight-A, straight-laced girl in the dorm kitchen one night, he sees the darkest parts of himself reflected in her. But the two of them resist acknowledging their hidden truths, and their forbidden connection, until ignoring it all becomes too perilous. *** Bren meets Madie during his first week at college, and he's certain he should have nothing to do with her. First of all, Madie has a boyfriend. And second of all, Madie's boyfriend radiates a toxicity that Bren only just escaped from growing up. But knowing what he should do doesn't help him at all. Madie might be completely entwined with her abusive boyfriend, but Bren quickly becomes determined to unravel her. But can Bren open Madie's eyes to the truth before it's too late? *** "Don't go back to being treated like you're not real." Madie's lips parted, and I couldn't read the expression on her face. But we were so close now. "You're real, Madie. Feel it." "I feel it," came her breathy reply. When it came to her, I was weak. My legs couldn't hold me anymore, and I slid down. Landing on my knees, I kneeled back against the bottom of the cold door, letting it cool my hot skin. "Good girl." The words were more of a pant; I could barely catch a breath with the way my heart was racing. But I had to tell her, talk to her. "Now, never forget it. Never forget the way you feel right now, Madie." **MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY** This story contains sensitive topics such as abuse, violence, and explicit sexual content.

You've probably heard stories about how a good girl falls in love with a bad boy or vice versa. However, in this scenario, despite the fact that they were never supposed to be together, they were asked or, more accurately, told to stay away from each other.

"Sure, you have a whole night for it" he smirked. --- IT'S NOT A MAFIA BOOK

We stared at each other for a while, neither wanting to give in to the other. His cold blue eyes stared deep into my soul, as my brown ones stared into his. Although I don't know the owner to these gorgeous blue eyes, I feel as if I've met him before. It must have been in another life cause I'd definitely remember him. __________________________________ "C'mon baby doll, you wouldn't make anything that could possibly kill me, right?" He shakily asks me. "Of course not..." I tell him, letting my sarcastic side show. "But Ave, if you kill me, who else are you going to cuddle with at night?" He teases. "Okay, that was one time!! And I was extremely dunk, so I don't even remember what happened that night, and I don't ever want to know." I yell, trying to reason with him. He walks close, only a few centimeters away from my face, our breaths mixing. "You wouldn't miss me?" He asks with a whisper. Feeling daring, I peck his lips. "Of course I would dumby. And I'm not going to kill you. Why would I do that? I am simply going to make you a smoothie, and you are going to pretend it's the worst thing ever. Got it?" I tell him, feeling like an evil mastermind with the plan. He has a stupid grin on his face, and kisses me. • • • THIS BOOK IS CRUSTY AS HELL. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SECOND ONE IS BETTER IN MY OPINION SO READ THIS IF YA WANT. Ranked #4 in "sappy" out of 1400+ books 3/18/19
