Book excerpt: USA Today Bestseller New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Wildstone with the touching story of finding your place in the world—and the people who make it home. Piper Manning’s about as tough as they come, she’s had to be. She raised her siblings and they’ve thankfully flown the coop. All she has to do is finish fixing up the lake house her grandparents left her, sell it, and then she’s free. When a massive storm hits, she runs into a tall, dark and brooding stranger, Camden Reid. There’s a spark there, one that shocks her. Surprising her further, her sister and brother return, each of them holding their own secrets. The smart move would be for Piper to ignore them all but Cam unleashes emotions deep inside of her that she can’t deny, making her yearn for something she doesn’t understand. And her siblings…well, they need each other. Only when the secrets come out, it changes everything Piper thinks she knows about her family, herself…and Cam. Can she find a way to outrun the demons? The answer is closer than she thinks—just as the new life she craves may have already begun.

Book excerpt: Can chasing the wrong girl lead down the right path? Witty as ever, best-selling author Dyan Sheldon maps the agonizing distance between “like” and “love.” Josh has never really thought twice about girls before. He’s usually too busy watching old movies with his friends Sal and Carver, petitioning for more vegetarian options in the school cafeteria, or flailing in yoga class with his best friend, Ramona. But when new girl Jena Capistrano walks into school, Josh loses his heart faster than he’s ever lost his balance on a double downward dog. Not that he has any real aspirations, of course: he knows Jena is completely out of his league. And then, against all odds — they become friends. The closer they get, the more infatuated Josh becomes, and the more he wonders if just maybe Jena might like him back. There’s only one way to find out. But it’s not exactly easy to put your heart on the line.

Download or read book Just Friends written by Jennifer Sucevic and published by Jennifer Sucevic. This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic comes a steamy and off-limits friends-to-lovers new adult sports romance that is laugh out loud funny featuring a strong virgin heroine and the cocky hockey player who falls first and hard for her. Can a guy and girl ever be just friends? I used to think so but now, I’m not so sure. Emerson and I met freshman year of high school and we’ve been tight ever since. I’ve been pretty good about keeping her locked in the girls I don’t think about having sex with part of my brain. Which is no easy feat because, let’s face it, unless we’re related, you’re potential spank bank material. Luckily for me, Southern University has an overabundance of Red Devils hockey groupies, which means there are always plenty of puck bunnies for me to choose from. I’m just careful to make sure they look nothing like Em. So, it should be all good in the hood, right? Wrong. I’m embarrassed to admit this, but lately, I can’t seem to get it up. Unless an image of Em pops into my head. Then it’s all systems go. It’s a messed-up situation. One Emerson is blissfully unaware of. And that’s exactly the way it needs to stay. What I’ve learned is that friendship is a hell of a lot harder to come by than hookups. Ready for a complication? It turns out that Em is a virgin. And she wants me to be the one to, well…take care of business. You better believe I shot down the idea before it could gain traction in my brain. Maybe Em doesn’t realize it, but remaining friends after you’ve slept with someone happens about as often as spotting a tie-dye colored unicorn that craps sprinkles. If it weren’t rare, everyone would be doing it, right? Exactly. As far as I’m concerned, Emerson has remained a virgin for this long, she can damn well wait to do the deed until after we part ways next year. Unfortunately, my best friend has other ideas. Which pretty much means I’m screwed. And not in a good way. ---- “You can feel the emotions these characters go through and you just want to shake em up, to just reveal their heart's desires” -Ashin, GoodReads “Reed is so considerate of Em at all times, and Em just can't help but melt against him.

Download or read book Are We Just Friends written by Juan Xavier Di Varo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-01-31 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Platonic friendships have been the topic of heavy discussion over the past decade, with more and more people turning to social media and friending those who are unknown to them, particularly the opposite sex. Many of us can think of a person whom we are friends with who is not of the same gender, and many more of us have become blind to the fact that there is usually always something more that hovers within this limbic space of platonic friendship. A lot of us do not understand the science behind our behavior, and we are uncertain as to why we have certain feelings toward others we consider just friends. There is an evolution at work, and many of our desires and nondesires come from these evolutionary traits that we carry as primates. Although many men and women would confirm that they have a friend who is from the opposite sex and the relationship is specifically platonic, do they truly believe this? Or is there something more between them on an emotional level? The majority of humans tend to shy away from the honesty buried beneath our subconscious in order to cache our true desires for the opposite sex. Are We Just Friends? gives a clear indication as to why we do what we do as human primates and provides a clear understanding as to the types of behavior we undertake when faced with the possibility of intimate thoughts toward those we would consider friends on a platonic level.
