“Fake it till you make it.”

A notion I once considered utterly ridiculous. Until one crazy night with a mysterious man resulted in a social media frenzy that had the entire entertainment industry talking.

Seems a fake marriage was just what my career needed to make Hollywood come knocking.

Convincing him to continue the charade was almost too easy. The chemistry between us made it impossible to keep my hands to myself. But it was all just pretend, right? Love was never in the script.

That is, until he re-wrote it.

13 Reasons You Should Stay:

13 by Rhonda James

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I've followed Rhonda James for the past 3 years and have watched her grow as an author - seen the way that she's evolved by making her characters unforgettable, their daily struggles relatable since they are my own, and especially fell in love with her stories. Some have made me cry, others, laugh, and some, like 13, found me smiling more than once at the fact that the friendships that Sophie has reminds me so much of the ones i have with my friends that i couldn't put this book down.

My only regret is not having had had the chance to read the previous book in this series because i would have absolutely loved to know the story behind Tory's happily ever after, but i can honestly say that it wasn't an absolute must to be able to understand Sophie's story. While part of the List series, what i loved the most about this book was the fact that 13 can still be considered a standalone.

Another favorite part of mine? How Rhonda James slyly added references to her own previous books as works of fiction - can't deny that i fist pumped my hand in the air at how well it worked in the story line. This is a story of how a two individuals think their actions are innocent and is a joke until social media gets its hands on the pictures. It's undeniable how quickly stories can spread through social media with the help of instagram, twitter and facebook, heck, if you want to play chinese telephone, that's the perfect place to start! But, with all that being said, the fact that there was truth behind Sophie and Hawk's attraction to one another made me want to keep reading. It made me crave their story, and of course want to get my hands on 21 (Tori's story and the first instalment of the series).

Considering i've had a chance to read many of this author's books in the past, i find that The List series absolutely puts her abilities in the spotlight. It's a great story, believable characters (even if it is fiction) and more than one way to fall in love with love once again. I can't wait to read more from her in the future and will absolutely keep my eyes peeled for her books.

The first thing I noticed were his eyes. Bottle green with the tiniest flecks of copper scattered throughout, and when the light hit them just right, those flecks sparkled in the most intriguing way. His shaggy caramel-blond hair stuck up in all directions, as if he’d been running his fingers through it all day, and the longer I stared, the more I found myself wanting to do the same thing. Tattoos circled both of his wrists, and his ears were pierced and adorned in black onyx. He had a smile that could simultaneously melt your heart and panties. Everything about him screamed male model, and if he wasn’t, then he sure as hell should be. He was that gorgeous. The bar was packed, and he was seated close. So close his muscular thigh pressed tightly against mine, making it impossible to ignore his presence. Not that I wanted to or anything.

So close his muscular thigh pressed tightly against mine, making it impossible to ignore his presence. Not that I wanted to or anything. By the time I finished examining him, I looked up and found his pouty lips were puckered as if he was deep in thought. Either that or he was thinking about kissing me. Yeah, I knew we hadn’t been formally introduced, but I’d definitely consider kissing those lips. His gaze was intense, and it roamed my entire body, slowly, as if he were cataloging every detail for later when he was alone and naked in the shower. The thought of him naked, alone or otherwise, excited me. “No one special.” I fidgeted in my seat. “Old boyfriend.” “If you ask me, he’s a dumbass for letting you get away. You’re much prettier than candy.” Another blush heated my cheeks as I shook my head and responded, if only to keep him talking, “Ahh, but you haven’t seen this particular piece of candy.” “Don’t need to. He gave you up. In my book, that’s reason enough to achieve asshole status.” He winked and tipped his glass to mine. “But, thanks to his assholery, you’re here with me. So… to assholes.” Okay. He was definitely flirting.

Cover Designer: Taylor James

Genre: New Adult

 Every girl has a breaking point…

Mine came the moment I found my boyfriend in bed with another woman. Turns out she wasn’t the first, either. Nope. Seems my guy had been screwing every available girl on campus and I’d been oblivious to all of it.

Running away with a rock band may not be the best way to handle things, but that’s exactly what I do. Two days into the adventure, I’m slapped in the face with how boring and predictable my life has been up to this point.

With my birthday fast approaching, I finally give in to my best friend’s advice and make a list. You know the kind. Every single thing I’ve been too chicken to do--until now, anyway.

The catch? Accomplishing all 21 before my birthday. Should make for an interesting month.

1) Adopt Sophie’s FUCK THE RULES motto

2) Be more adventurous

3) Kiss a random guy

4) Proposition a hot guy

5) Achieve the BIG ‘O’

Full of vinegar, I cocked a hip and propped my hand on my waist. “Yep. In fact, I thought it would be fun to sneak off to his car and polish off a bottle of Patron just before I let him bone me in the backseat.”

“Yeah, that’s not gonna happen.” 

Oh no, he didn’t.

“God, I hate you! I can go where I want with whomever I wa—” 

I never finished my sentence.

He was on me in a flash, spinning me around and slamming me up against the wall before it even registered what was happening. One hand was around my throat while the other skimmed across my belly. I felt his warm breath on my neck as his lips ghosted over my flesh. Ragged breaths escaped my lips as the smell of fresh paint permeated my nostrils. 

Music blared loudly on the other side of the wall, but back here we were alone, no one around to stop what was about to go down. Not even me. Not because I couldn’t, but because I didn’t want to.

His fingers inched higher, teasing the underside of my naked breast. “You knew exactly what you were doing when you put these on tonight. Didn’t you? The whole time you were prancing around on that stage without a bra. You knew you were giving every guy out there a show.” His fingers drew a line down the center of my heaving chest as he hissed, “Fuck. Just knowing they were looking up your shirt makes me want to gouge every single one of their eyes out.”

His hand dipped lower, toying with the waist of my shorts before sliding all the way inside. The hand around my throat tightened once he discovered I wasn’t wearing panties. “Christ, woman. Are you trying to kill me?” 

Holy Toledo.

I knew it might sound crazy, but the hand on my throat, the calloused pad of his finger resting on my most sensitive place, all of it worked in his favor. Any anger I’d been harboring disappeared the moment his lips touched my neck. 

He rotated his hips, and desire pooled between my legs when he ground his arousal against my ass until I answered, “As a matter of fact, I was thinking maybe a slow sex-induced death where we both go with ridiculous smiles on our faces.”

“I’d happily die that death,” he agreed before burying two fingers inside me. 

“Oh, God,” I moaned and rolled my hips, riding his hand while his fingers moved inside my body—violating me in a delicious yet wicked sort of way. 

I wasn’t sure how it happened, but in a matter of minutes, we’d gone from arguing about my fake date to him finger fucking me in a darkened hall in the back of Devil’s Playground. At any moment, someone could come down the hall and witness what was taking place, but the new, adventurous side of me didn’t even care. It was insane and out of control, but fuck if it didn’t feel amazing having his hands on me. In that moment, I was alive and more aware of myself than I’d ever been.

I didn’t care if this was a one-time occurrence.

I didn’t care if we hated each other when it was over.

All I cared about was my impending orgasm. 

And I was close. So. Very. Close.

Damn, his fingers were magic.
