Release Date: 08/11/15
Entangled Teen: Crush
Summary from Goodreads:
Sometimes, blackmail is the only weapon a girl has…
Haley Patterson has had a crush on golden boy Bryce Colton for ages. But then when she hears a rumor—Bryce is telling everyone that he hooked up with her. With Haley’s reputation taking a nosedive, she gives Bryce him a choice: be her boyfriend for a month for a month or face the angry, cage-fighting boyfriend of the girl he actually did hook up withto show other guys that she’s dateable—despite her overprotective and very intimidating brothers.—or deal with the angry, cage-fighting boyfriend of the girl he actually did hook up with.
Bryce didn’t know the other Haley even had a boyfriend. He was just trying to get his ex off his back. And now doesn't know what's more unbelievable, not only is—that he's he being blackmailed, or that he's being blackmailed by an honor student. His little “hook up” was supposed to end his problems with girls, not create new ones. Not only that, but his new “girlfriend” has two overprotective brothers, three-legged dogs, her father mows grass at the country club, and she's…well, difficult. And different.
Besides, everyone knows that perfect boys never fall for imperfect girls…Sometimes, giving in is all a boy can do…Can something so fake turn into something real?
Excerpt
...
Bryce
stood outside of the theatre looking like an Abercrombie model,
wearing dark jeans, a pale blue shirt, and a black leather jacket. As
we climbed out of the car and strode across the parking lot, I was
privy to the Bryce Colton reality show, where two girls, each as tall
as he was, engaged in a hair-toss and giggle-flirt fest.
He
laughed and talked with both of them, touching each of them on the arm
in a subtle way. As we drew closer, he spotted us, or should I say,
me. Do you think he told those girls his date was here and graciously
excused himself from the conversation? Nope. He made eye contact with
me, nodded in acknowledgement and then...he continued his
conversation.
Real
date or not, that was rude, and disrespectful, and I was ten seconds
away from telling those girls he was a post- op-transsexual and all
his parts were not in working order. Or maybe I should post that
information on YouTube. It was a satisfying fantasy. In reality, I
stood off to the side with Jane and Nathan, and waited for Bryce to
wrap up whatever he was doing.
When
he joined us, he said, “Hi.” And nothing more. Why did he have so
much to say to those girls while I was only worth a one-syllable
greeting? Was there any way I could realistically dump a cherry
slushie in his lap during the show?
