Book excerpt: Corrine James is not needed here. I've told her that, or I tried to anyway, but there's just something about the curvy home caregiver that has me biting my tongue. I don't want a live in caregiver though. I don't want anyone to see me struggle, but my brother is worried about me and I know that he'll insist. When I tell her that I don’t need her, she begs me to let her stay. She needs this job and so I cave. That's my first mistake. It’s only meant to be for a few weeks and then she’ll be out of my hair. There’s just one problem. As the weeks go on, I realize that I lied to her and to myself too. I think that maybe I really might just need her. Not as a home caregiver, but as something much more. But I’m damaged goods. She could never be interested in me. Could she?

Book excerpt: Trouble has never looked so hot...Sue wants Ethan, and Chris wants Sue.Drawn to Ethan and intrigued by Chris, Susan Miller finds herself caught between identical twin brothers at her school. When both of them start wooing her at the same time, she only has to take her pick. Right? Wrong! Ethan is reluctant to kiss her, and Chris wants her for the completely wrong reasons.Nothing like his obliging and sweet brother, Chris Donovan has trouble written all over him. He changes girls like other guys change t-shirts, and the next trophy on his little list is Susan. That's the last thing she wants, yet she finds herself responding to all the goodnight texts and other cheeky messages Chris sends. The guy has a way of getting under her skin like no one ever has before.How long will it be until Susan falls for his smooth charm and gets herself into more trouble than she can possibly handle? And where does that leave Ethan?The Tease: I cleared my throat and called out, "Hey, Chris!"Folding his arms on the backrest of the chair he'd straddled by his friends, he cast me an intrigued and self-assured glance over his shoulder. I didn't give him the time to even think about the word "sweetness" leaving his mouth, but continued, "It takes a little more than a cute smile to get on my good side, and luckily your brother comes equipped with the whole package." I flashed a sardonic grin that hopefully stung his ego in front of his gang. "You want to freeze hell? Go ahead and try. It'll get you nowhere with me."For a stunned moment, Chris gazed at me. My snappiness had certainly terminated his interest in me. After all, he seemed to be someone after an easy lay and a jolly good time, nothing more. Especially not if that something proved to require serious effort. Right?Wrong. The left side of his mouth tilted up so slowly that a shudder made it through my entire body before he was done with the smirk. He blinked then ran his tongue along the inside of his bottom lip. The whole class had stilled and all eyes were on him and me now, gazes darting back and forth.With an audience to quote him later, he stated, "Game on, little Sue."
Download or read book The Trouble with Boys written by Peg Tyre and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2009-08-11 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment they step into the classroom, boys begin to struggle. They get expelled from preschool nearly five times more often than girls; in elementary school, they’re diagnosed with learning disorders four times as often. By eighth grade huge numbers are reading below basic level. And by high school, they’re heavily outnumbered in AP classes and, save for the realm of athletics, show indifference to most extracurricular activities. Perhaps most alarmingly, boys now account for less than 43 percent of those enrolled in college, and the gap widens every semester! The imbalance in higher education isn’t just a “boy problem,” though. Boys’ decreasing college attendance is bad news for girls, too, because admissions officers seeking balanced student bodies pass over girls in favor of boys. The growing gender imbalance in education portends massive shifts for the next generation: how much they make and whom they marry. Interviewing hundreds of parents, kids, teachers, and experts, award-winning journalist Peg Tyre drills below the eye-catching statistics to examine how the educational system is failing our sons. She explores the convergence of culprits, from the emphasis on high-stress academics in preschool and kindergarten, when most boys just can’t tolerate sitting still, to the outright banning of recess, from the demands of No Child Left Behind, with its rigid emphasis on test-taking, to the boy-unfriendly modern curriculum with its focus on writing about “feelings” and its purging of “high-action” reading material, from the rise of video gaming and schools’ unease with technology to the lack of male teachers as role models. But this passionate, clearheaded book isn’t an exercise in finger-pointing. Tyre, the mother of two sons, offers notes from the front lines—the testimony of teachers and other school officials who are trying new techniques to motivate boys to learn again, one classroom at a time. The Trouble with Boys gives parents, educators, and anyone concerned about the state of education a manifesto for change—one we must undertake right away lest school be-come, for millions of boys, unalterably a “girl thing.”

Book excerpt: Elijah Grove is the absolute worst. And he knows it too. Mainly because I’ve told him so every day since I’ve met him. I wish that I could just avoid him for the rest of my life but that’s hard to do when we live in this small town. I thought that we were on the same page about ignoring each other but then one night he shows up at my bakery and offers me a deal. One that I promptly reject but when he jams his foot in my door and refuses to leave until I hear him out, I relent. He wants me to be his girlfriend. It would be fake, obviously. We just need to make it look good and fool his family so that they don’t try to set him up while they’re in town. In exchange, he’ll help me get my bakery up and running. I would be an idiot to say yes, but there is a lot of work to be done and we’d only have to pretend for a few days. I can handle it. Or I thought that I could, but the more time that I spend around the grumpy giant, the more I start to see that he might not be as bad as I first thought. But this is all just a façade. Isn’t it?

Blue doesn’t do complicated. It’s too much trouble and there are too many risks. And the biggest risk of all is something she’s guarded for years, her heart.
