Sometimes the best mistakes are the ones that you make over and over again…-Reason and Romance by Jenn Young

First clue: the singsong “Alex!” that shattered her eardrums. The possessor of that voice was a stunning redhead poured into a tight outfit and sandals. She had it all: an ample chest, a pair of long legs that seemed to stretch forever, and a flowing, gorgeous mane. Not a hair was out of place, even when she planted a pouting kiss on Alex.


Description:

Published: December 9th, 2014

Being stuck in the godforsaken desert is Adrian Blake’s worst nightmare come true. Senior year is all about making fun memories. It’s not about starting over at a new school and navigating a new Brady Bunch family. It’s really not about living with a sexy, arrogant would-be stepbrother who knows how to push her buttons.

Alex Montgomery is the very definition of a player. The only thing he commits to is a one night stand. He’s exactly the kind of guy she hates­. When she sleeps with him, it’s the biggest mistake of her life. Now she can’t stop thinking about him. Not at school. Not at home.

Sometimes the best mistakes are the ones that you make over and over again…

EXCERPT

The school’s official name was Varner High School, but within five minutes of Alex’s arrival, Adrian knew it should have been named “Alex Montgomery’s Harem” instead.

First clue: the singsong “Alex!” that shattered her eardrums. The possessor of that voice was a stunning redhead poured into a tight outfit and sandals. She had it all: an ample chest, a pair of long legs that seemed to stretch forever, and a flowing, gorgeous mane. Not a hair was out of place, even when she planted a pouting kiss on Alex.

Second clue: the sheer size of the crowd gathering around them. Arizona was brutally hot, even at this early hour, but students were milling outside, just to watch Alex and the girl. How else could you explain the dozens and dozens of kids otherwise?

Third clue: the other girls staring at the redhead with varying expressions of disgust and resentment. The collective envy was so palpable that Adrian glanced around in surprise. Was Alex really this popular and desirable? That last thought gave her a queer feeling. They hadn’t exchanged a single word since Karen’s dinner party.

Fourth clue: Alex’s posse was hanging near him. They were the only ones bored as if they’d seen this exact scene reenacted before. Some of them she remembered from dinner the other night.

One of them lifted a hand in a tentative greeting when he saw her. Justin Latimer had a twin sister, Adrian remembered, and she was here too. Bri was watching the redhead with a narrow-eyed expression.

“Sweetie, who is she?” the redhead said. She’d wrapped herself around Alex like a second skin, practically slithering up his torso. “Why did she come to school with you? Doesn’t she have her own car?”

It took Adrian a few seconds to realize the girl was asking Alex about her. Why was she so suspicious—oh God. An incredulous snicker escaped Adrian before she could stop herself. She was not sleeping with Alex.

“You can ask me yourself,” Adrian said.
