First Line Friday 56: A College Romance!

First Line Friday 56: A College Romance!

The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda’s Voice where every Friday you pick a book and turn to page 56 or 56%, and select a sentence or a few, as long as it’s not a spoiler. For the full rules, visit the page HERE.

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you’re reading.

Combining the two tags together and calling it First Line Friday 56 is all thanks to Sammie @ The Bookwyrm’s Den.

Ever since I saw this meme I thought “Oh my God, this is so much fun! I get to recommend a book AND play a bookish game at the same time!” Now I have no idea how some people do the fancy click-and-the-book-appears trick, so you guys just have to play fair and not jump to the book at the end of this post! Everyone read? Let’s go!

First Line

He doesn’t know I’m alive.

Intrigued yet?

Page 56 Snippet

“Hey, Wellsy,” he says breezily. “You’re late.

“I said eight-fifteen. It’s eight-fifteen.” I stare coldly at Mr. GQ. “And if you were implying that I was a hooker, then call me insulted.”

“You thought she was a hooker?” Garrett turns to glare at his friend. “That’s my tutor, bro. Show some respect.”

“I didn’t think she was a hooker – I thought she was a stripper,” the blond retorts, as if that makes it better.

Book Reveal

The Deal book cover

She’s about to make a deal with the college bad boy…

Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she’s carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush’s attention, she’ll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice… even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.

…and it’s going to be oh so good.

All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he’s worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he’s all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn’t take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn’t going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.
