Genre: Contemporary Romance/ Romantic Comedy/New Adult

A hilariously steamy, classmates-neighbors-enemies to lovers romantic comedy with a fun internet celebrity twist.

Was it too much to ask for one wild week away from college, away from the cold weather, and away from my classmates? That's all I wanted. A spring break vacation where I could live my best life with my friends and get a little crazy for once. Possibly, drink too many cocktails on the beach, wear the skimpy bikini I bought, and have a no-strings-attached, tropical escapade with a co-ed.

Sounds perfect, right?

Well, it didn't happen because my dumbass missed the nonrefundable flight.

And if it wasn't bad enough that I was stranded on an empty, snow-covered campus over my senior year spring break, it was about to get a whole lot worse…because he's still here too.

The tall, dark smart ass. The cocky classmate I've been rolling my eyes at since freshman year. The annoying internet star who everyone thinks is hilarious.

Julien Carson.

So you know what? Screw it.

It's just a few days, and nobody has to know. Plus, I guess he's not so bad to look at when he's saying all the right things and making all the right moves. Maybe I don't have to fly thousands of miles for a spring fling because I can't come up with a single reason why Julien shouldn't be my... One Week Stand.

My Rating:

Favorite Quotes:

“I’m sorry. You’re so pretty. Don’t be mad.” He’s backtracking. “I’ll never do it again.”

Honestly, someone should write the software engineers over at the makers of mobile devices to come up with some kind of fucking warning when you're getting hate on a viral level. Like when you open the screen, it could say, “Hey, just so you know, you should probably take a Xanax and a shot of tequila before going any further. Because what’s going on with you online today isn’t cute.”

My Review:

Turn up all the fans and air conditioning as high as possible as this one is a scorcher that had me gasping and smirking, then gasping some more. Oh! My! This New Adult Romantic Comedy will be a boon for condom sales. I am chartreuse with envy over this sweary and snarky couple’s stamina and sensual expertise as the only time my bedroom has seen my body “flushed, ears to ankles” has been during a craptastic illness with a high fever.

I adore Ms. Mabie’s clever and irreverent humor and I loved her City Limits rom/com series. Her storylines and writing were lively and fun, super-steamy, and laced with sharp wit and spicy levity. Long after finishing I am continuing to sip ice water in attempts to cool down and calm my breath, and it seems my face is still oddly sporting a naughty grin that I just can’t seem to wipe away.
