Kitten (Brian&Leah,1) by Alwyn_Knighton

He's the guy moms warn their daughters about. Bold, outspoken, and self-confident, Brian O'Brien returns to his hometown only to discover some things changed in his absence. Brian has a new neighbor - a shy, smart girl Leah, who hates his guts since the moment she sees him from her bedroom window. Maybe the nickname he gives her is to blame. Brian calls Leah Kitten and does everything in his power to make her show the claws she seems to be missing. Brian's not one to give up easily. Intrigued by the girl who's unlike anyone he's ever met, he tries to discover who she really is. What does she like? What's she like? How many layers are there to the good girl with a perfect boyfriend and a strict mother? Small towns make it hard to avoid a person. Soon, Brian and Leah start to spend more time together, and a series of events set something much bigger in motion - something that will forever change them both. Brian loves the wind in his hair and the rumble of his bike's engine. Leah's sheltered in her little world. What will happen if he shows her there's more to life than what she's seen? What if she realizes how much she's been missing? Content warning: this story contains mentions of depression and suicide that can be upsetting to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.

Holding Back [COMPLETED] by joymoment

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here. I love the fact that it's realistic and focuses on things that really hinder human interaction, perceptions and stereotypes." - yurfavegal "just gets better and better. How are all your characters 3D! Like this writing is so beautiful" - CrazyStarChick "Reading it for the second time, and the book still brings a smile to my face 😆" - grumpymood "She's practically Carter's twin 😂😂" - Guardian_21 #1 Breakingcliches #1 Arrogant #6 in Teen Romance

Long Story Short, The Condom Broke ✔️ by prinses1010

There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they're the way they are. They aren't just like that because they want to. Something in the past created them, and sometimes it's impossible to fix them. Everly Adams has a different story than most teenagers would like to admit. She's stepping into a new phase of her life with just her older sister to care for her. Life can get a little bit tricky if you just got kicked out of the house. Why? Just keep on reading my dear reader. Liam Wells has a cliché story. He's rich, school's bad boy, leader of the D&D's ( Devils Deciple ) and he's got the looks of course. But no cliché boy has a story like his. It all starts with a chicken nugget. It's amazing what a chicken nugget can do. Follow the rollercoaster that's waiting for the both of them. Drama, loss and humor all combined in one adventure. This is : Long Story Short, The Condom Broke By: prinses1010 Word count (108,000 words) Currently being edited!!!

After Kissing by _SiaraL_

❝We were quite a cliche, weren't we?❞ he smirked but I ignored the pang it spread in my chest. ❝We were. But this is real life. We can't hang on fantasies anymore.❞ ❝Then why can't I forget you?❞ Adult life wasn't as easy as Hailey expected. Her job is ungrattifying, she founds herself being flat mate of her college brother and on top of everything, now Nate Herond, her high school boyfriend who broke her heart five years ago is back. (Kissing Series #2)This is the sequel of 'Just Kissing', I recommend reading the first part but it can easily be ready as a stand-alone.
