Campus Confessions Series

Why it's wearing hand-me-downs:

• People don't understand that there's no cheating in book 1. Relationships are messy, especially in college, and I wanted to show that. How confusing it can be when you're trying to hold onto something that you can't admit isn't right. But it's hard to explain that in a blurb.
• The female friendships and team dynamics are on equal footing as the romances. These are romance books, but they're also women's fic and coming of age, so they don't fit cleanly in the genre.
• They're not smutty and most readers want hockey romance to be smutty.

Why this book could still be your favorite child:

• The tension in this book is SO intense, and the other tropes are incredible: he falls first, he has a big secret, enemies to lovers, yearning, he protects her from other players, witty banter, strong girlfriends, and letter writing.
• THE NOSTALGIA. It's set in the 90's before cell phones. 'Nuff said. 
• There's an insane redemption arc for Logan (Shar's OG boyfriend in book 1) in book 3. Best friend's ex!

Life story:

The only thing worse than crossing the line is wanting to...

Living with my boyfriend Logan was everything I wanted—until I realized his best friend, Rob Thompson, came with the deal. Rob and I are like oil and water, fire and gasoline, sworn enemies under one roof.

When Logan got selected for World Juniors in Germany, I thought I’d get a reprieve. I could handle the quiet loneliness of his absence. What I couldn’t handle was Rob. He’s still here, stomping around the house with that cocky grin, pushing every button I have. And somehow, when it’s just the two of us, the air feels heavier. Charged.

It’s infuriating how he can see right through me, past every wall I’ve built, calling me out in ways no one else ever has. But as much as I hate him, I can’t seem to stay away.

Logan will be gone for two months. Rob will be here every day. And I’m terrified that everything I thought I knew about love—and hate—is about to change.
