Book Description
What happens when a random hookup turns into the ultimate dilemma? Rashida Howard has never been a one-night-stand kind of woman, but she has good reason for making an exception with Elliott after meeting him in a bar. Cliché? Yes. Utterly amazing? Absolutely. Regrets? None. Elliott Quinn is a workaholic. The one night he decides to break his routine, he has an encounter with the woman of his dreams. But no matter how amazing they are together, work will always come first. Now they’re fighting on opposite sides of an ongoing battle between Elliott’s company and Rashida’s community. It’s turning their lives upside down and seriously complicating the chemistry between them. Neither will risk their integrity or their heart...until they uncover the one secret that will change the game entirely.

Book Description
How 3 girls tried to hook up with 78 guys in 1 semester: the first installment. Our heroes: Jodi Stein, cheerleader, bat mitzvah, and sorority hopeful, whose life plan prominently features her high school sweetheart, Buster. Celeste Alexander, tormented intellectual and virgin, the daughter of a former Buddhist monk and ex-nun. Ali Sheppard, a soul lost in a sea of lollipops and glow-sticks, whose long distance boyfriend is a trip-hop hypnotica DJ named Sensei. It doesn't seem as if these three roomates have much in common. Not at first. But then a night of misery brings them together -- a night when Jodi finds Buster in a compromising position, Celeste discovers an unexpected side to her date, Jordan, and Ali has a distressing phone call with Sensei. What starts as a simple game -- a game born of heartbreak, a bottle of tequila, and a Scrabble® board -- evolves into a three-woman sexual revolution. Forget boyfriends. Forget "life partners." This is the future. This is the Alphabetical Hookup List. The ABCs will never be the same.

Book Description
A USA TODAY BESTSELLER! I’ll just ignore Rider and those soul-searing looks he gives me every time I reach for the baby. He broke my heart three years ago… he won’t get a second chance. What’s worse than having Rider Kingston, the hotshot quarterback on your college football team, give you the big brushoff because he doesn’t want to get serious? You’d probably think living across the street from him, where you get a first-hand view of his hookups, right? That’s what I thought, until someone drops off a surprise baby with a note pinned to her blanket that says one of those jocks—either Rider or one of his numbskull roommates—is the father. I wouldn’t care one bit about their paternity problems—except my brother lives there, too… which means that adorable squawking bundle might be my niece, and there’s no way I’m leaving her unattended with those bumbling football players. They need my help, even if they don’t know it yet. Once we solve this dilemma and figure out who the daddy is, I’m out. * * * The Varsity Dad Dilemma is a sexy, small-town sports romance novel from USA Today best-selling author Lex Martin. Over three thousand readers are raving about the passionate, angst-filled enemies-to-lovers romance, and the smoking-hot chemistry between Gabby, the slightly nerdy Latina with a take-charge attitude and her surprisingly sweet ex-boyfriend Rider. Who knew that he actually had a heart of gold underneath that deliciously ripped, well-defined exterior? “Gabby and Rider have great chemistry and their banter is HOT. While she had loathed everything about Rider since freshman year, there was no denying the physical attraction they had towards each other… If you are looking for a college romance that brings the laughter, with loads of sexual tension and plenty of heart melting moments, check this book out!” – Reader Review

Book Description
Let's face it - dating has changed. Rare is the romantic and handsome lover waiting to whisk you away for a lifetime of smug coupledom. More likely is that guy you get down with every now and then. It's not a one-night stand and it's not dating - it's a hookup. THE HOOKUP HANDBOOK includes essential tips: how to recognise the players (Mr December, the older man; Oops I Did it Again, the ex-boyfriend); how to deal with the next morning ( The Walk of Shame Rears its Uncombed Head); hookup lingo (Beer Google - drunkenly typing his name into every Web search engine). Quizzes: Is he crazy in love or just crazy as hell? Is he hetero, metro, or gay? And advice: 3 Hookups Do Not a Boyfriend Make; When Some Stupid Boy Leaves You Remember That One Day He'll Be Sporting a Comb-over and Nose Hair. There is a chapter on 'Where the Boys Are' - likely hangouts to find hookups - such as invite-only functions (pickup line 'Are you friends with the bride or groom?'); first year at college ('What floor do you live on?'); destination getaways ('I can show you the stuff they don't print in brochures'). Also great tips on how to ready your flat for a hookup - what to stash away (facial hair bleach, granny panties) and what to proudly display (Sopranos DVDs, a pair of stilettos). Part satire and part field guide, THE HOOKUP HANDBOOK gives readers the lowdown on getting down.

Book Description
The most ambitious work of fiction by a writer widely considered the most important novelist working in China today In this darkly comic novel, a group of women inhabits a world of constant surveillance, where informants lurk in the flowerbeds and false reports fly. Conspiracies abound in a community that normalizes paranoia and suspicion. Some try to flee—whether to a mysterious gambling bordello or to ancestral homes that can only be reached underground through muddy caves, sewers, and tunnels. Others seek out the refuge of Nest County, where traditional Chinese herbal medicines can reshape or psychologically transport the self. Each life is circumscribed by buried secrets and transcendent delusions. Can Xue's masterful love stories for the new millennium trace love's many guises—satirical, tragic, transient, lasting, nebulous, and fulfilling—against a kaleidoscopic backdrop drawn from East and West of commerce and industry, fraud and exploitation, sex and romance.

“A funny and satisfying love story [that] challenges simplistic preconceptions.” —Publishers Weekly Beckett Gaines, a gay teen living in South Carolina, has his world turned upside-down by a jock in this laugh-out-loud novel that’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets The Parent Trap. Beck: The Golden Girls-loving, out-and-proud choir nerd growing up in the “ass-crack of the Bible belt.” Jax: The Golden Boy, star quarterback with a slick veneer facing uncomfortable truths about himself and his past. When Beck’s emotionally fragile dad starts dating the recently single (and supposedly lesbian) mom of former bully Jaxon Parker, Beck is not having it. Jax isn’t happy about the situation either, holding out hope that his moms will reunite and restore the only stable home he’s ever known. Putting aside past differences, the boys plot to derail the budding romance between their parents at their conservative hometown’s first-ever Rainbow Prom. Hearts will be broken, new romance will bloom, but nothing will go down the way Beck and Jax have planned. In his hilarious and provocative debut, Greg Howard examines the challenges of growing up different in a small southern town through the lens of colorful and unforgettable characters who stay with you long after the last drop of sweet tea.
