What’s the worst thing about wanting a sexy NFL football player? Everyone else wants him, too.
After catching my boyfriend getting deep-throated by a skanky cage girl, I’ve learned my lesson – never date a professional athlete. Never. Besides, I have more important things to worry about, like not blowing my shot to make it as a broadcast reporter. I won’t let anything get in my way, not even the new “it boy” of the NFL and my hot-as-hell neighbor.
What's the worst thing about getting death glares from his new neighbor? It doesn't make him want her any less.
I’ve worked my ass off to make it to the pros. The last thing I need is the complication of a relationship, especially since my last one was a total train wreck. But I can’t stop thinking about the feisty girl next door with the smart mouth. And I’d love nothing more than to show her what to do with that mouth.
Friends with benefits might be the best idea he’s ever had. Or the worst.
Kissing Madeline is a companion novel to DEAREST CLEMENTINE and FINDING DANDELION. Each book is a stand-alone.
Move over Gavin and Jax, there's a new Big Man on Campus (yes I realize this doesn't exactly fit, shh), and his name is Daren. He's a dirty talking, rough playing, but often sweet Alpha man.
Kissing Madeline is book three in the Dearest series and in it we get Daren's story. Of course, we met and heard a little about Daren in previous books, but in this book, we get more information and we get to see him find his happy. I'll admit to being a tad disappointed in Daren in previous books, but Lex more than made me forgive and adore him in this book.
Madeline has had a crappy past relationship and she's ready to throw in the towel and just forget about boys all together. That is of course, until she gets a load of her new next door neighbor, one hot football star. Then its all things aflutter and she's found a new friend, well a new friend with benefits.
Daren is still struggling with parts of his past, but his focus is on his football career. He doesn't have time for a relationship and after previous ones he's not sure he really wants one anyways. But that changes when he decides to extend an offer to the hot news reporter next door.
Kissing Madeline was a scorching tale of two people afraid of a relationship, yet falling into one anyways. Madeline and Daren find their perfect match in each other, but both are dealing with past hurts and issues so it takes them longer to realize and admit this. This book had it all, fun sarcastic banter, a little drama, friendship, sweet romantic moments, and HOT sexy times. Daren and Madeline were wonderful characters who had such depth and made you feel as if you knew them.
Twenty-year-old Clementine Avery doesn't mind being called bitchy and closed off. It's safe, and after being burned by her high school sweetheart and stalked by a professor her freshman year of college, safe sounds pretty damn good.
Her number one rule for survival? No dating. That is until she accidentally signs up for a romance writing class and needs material for her latest assignment. Sexy RA Gavin Murphy is more than happy to play the part of book boyfriend to help Clem find some inspiration, even if that means making out...in the name of research, of course.
As Gavin and Clem grow closer, they get entangled in the mystery surrounding a missing Boston University student, and Clem unwittingly becomes a possible target. Gavin tries to show Clem she can handle falling in love again, but she knows she has to be careful because her heart’s at stake…and maybe even her life.
When soccer all-star Jax Avery collides with Dani Hart on his twenty-first birthday, their connection is instantaneous and explosive. For the first time in years, Jax isn’t interested in his usual hit-it and quit-it approach. But Dani knows better. Allowing herself a night to be carefree and feel the intensity of their attraction won’t change anything when it comes to dealing with a player. So when Jax doesn’t recognize Dani the next time he sees her, it shouldn’t be a total shock. The fact that he’s her new roommate’s brother? That’s a shock. Dani doesn’t regret that night with Jax, just the need to lie about it. Since her roommate has made it clear what she thinks about her brother’s “type” of girl, the last thing Dani wants is to admit what happened. Jax knows he’s walking a fine line on the soccer team. One more misstep and he’s off the roster, his plans to go pro be damned. Except he can’t seem to care. About anything… except for the one girl who keeps invading his dreams. Despite Jax’s fuzzy memory of his hot hookup with his sister’s friend, he can’t stay away from her, even if that means breaking his own rules. But there are bigger forces at work–realities that can end Dani’s college career and lies that can tear them apart. Jax realizes what he’s losing if Dani walks away, but will he sacrifice his future to be with her? And will she let him if he does?
