I'm sure you've read lots of romance. They are all similar. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy saves girl. Girl rejects boy. Boy and girl end up together and live happily ever after.
That is not this story. This story will have you twisting and turning. You will fall in love with the characters, their flaws and all.
***
James isn't a people person. He gets along with them fine, but he much rather spend his time at home reading and watching movies. He has had to work his whole life to get what he wants. He is very happy the way his life is going.
Bella can't say the same. She loves being around people. All her life, she has felt alone and she can't stand to be in an empty house by herself. She has spent her life with people and working with them.
When they meet, there are definitely sparks. Especially when Bella has to use her taser to save James' life. At first, he wants nothing to do with her and just wants to be left alone.
But can he make it by himself? Can he survive his life on his own? Can Bella?
They learn together that even though they don't live in a fairytale romance, this world has too many people to keep them from falling for someone.

Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply.

Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever.

All the Things I'll Never Say
This is a real, love story. By real, I mean it's a frustrating story. I promise you this: it's definitely not like the love stories by Nicholas Sparks, where the guy always gets the girl, or vice versa. You know what I'm talking about, right? He always writes those beautiful, attractive stories, where the guy falls in accidental, deep love with the girl, experiencing some small tragedy that breaks the heart of every reader. Any way, the point is that this story is nothing like that. Nope, that is just not me. This is the story of an average girl who attends an average college and who shares the average anxieties of every other individual. Yes, she falls in love with a guy, but she'll never admit that to anyone, especially not herself. This is the story of her modern love, of sex and inevitable attachment, of fast falling and easy emotion, and of overthinking and unanswered questions. It's a story that I'm sure everyone can relate to in one way or another. It all happens in 34 short days. She meets a guy, who ultimately leaves her with more questions than answers, but I suppose that is half of the allure. If you want a taste of the real world, of a love affair and self discovery from beginning to end, here it is. Be warned: what happens is pretty shitty.Complete

Unwanted Mates (Black Moon Book One)
