Product Information

And then she's all like "I gotta not be attached to the first person who takes my v" and he's all growly like "you mine. You not fuggin anyone else!" The best time to read a book depends on your personal schedule and preferences. Here are some suggestions: Whitney cannot keep doing this. They have already broken their vows. Now it is time to break their marriage off. But when she tells him the decision she’s made, his reaction is not what she was expecting. Even after it all, even though he loathes her, he refuses to just let her go. I don’t know. It’s just not really a grovel. Is he sorry? I’m sure he is. His “grovel” is explaining things to her? I mean, apologies and explanations are a needed element in a grovel certainly I just expected more. It’s hard to prove to someone you won’t manipulate them anymore. A few conversations and a family dinner aren’t going to do the job. It’s time and effort and open honest communication to build trust slowly. Let h see him prove he’s not going to be manipulative over time, let him put in the effort to show she’s his number one priority. Let him sweat it out while she goes on an awful date that he doesn’t try to break up. Do I want h dating another man? No, but let her see H won’t try to manipulate his way into breaking up a date. I don’t even need h to have a good time with OM just to establish H means what he says. Then he can be there for her and they can laugh about her awful date together. Let her see that H can learn to communicate his feelings and concerns without manipulating her because it’s easier than explaining himself.

He’s an asshole to her after they have sex because he’s feeling vulnerable. He’s caught feelings at this point and she’s trying to make sure he knows she knows it’s just sex which hurts his feelings. He’s not a huge asshole but he’s an asshole all the same. However, He convinces her to keep sleeping together for three weeks so he can try to make her fall for him. It works. They decide to stay together. Right now I'm releasing the books a year apart because that's …more Aww that makes me so happy that you love the characters. I love them too, flaws and all! Then she bumps into one of the other guys she’d considered. She realizes that H had told some fibs and manipulated her into dismissing this guy. The guy tries to tell her that H really cares about her but she’s triggered by his dishonesty and dumps him.it’s a young adult, so be warned. The characters are 20 and in college, so if this is not your thing you may find it boring. Their arrangement will just be an exchange of services. He’ll let her tell the world the campus player took her virginity, and she’ll give him the opportunity he’s been waiting years for. Vanessa story takes place 3 years after her sister Livvys book. Vanessa like her sister was raised in purity culture, and it’s had a negative impact on her life and how she views herself. Vanessa is a college student with a large tiktok following because of her Vidoes based on her religious beliefs, virginity, the toxicity of purity culture. She ultimately decides to lose her V card and made a titkok about it which drew a ton of male attention. Livvy has been in love with Cole Walker since the very first day that he walked into class and sat beside her. Who could even blame her? Six foot five and even a sweetheart. Oh and did she mention how gorgeous he was? He is just charming enough to get any girl that he wants. The plan was to make him fall in love with her, get married, and give him all of her firsts.

No, all the stories in this novel are fictional. Are they making a movie on Shame by Skyler Mason ? This book had so much potential, truly sad.. it had this old school college book vibes like Beautiful Disaster, nerd and off campus series. It started off so damn well. During your commute: If you take public transportation or have a long commute, you may find it helpful to use that time to read. Spoilers ahead, particularly concerning the “grovel” but also other things for context. If you don’t want such specific spoilers then don’t read further.

The one thing this book has going for it is that it’s NOT a “she was a bet!” plot (even though, confusingly, it seems like it’s setting that up). From the start, the heroine is aware of the bet. So, there’s no angst or tension about “when will she find out?!” But….there’s also not much angst or stakes about anything! Early in the story, they mutually agree that he’ll be her choice to sleep with. So, the entire flow of the story is odd– no tension, and not much plot. Just the characters awkwardly orbiting around each other, after they’ve agreed that they’ll have sex. There is some alright dirty talk, but it feels sudden and random, like this story threw it in Just Because. However when she looks into those stern dark eyes, this ache pulls at the pit of her stomach. She wants him to dominate her, and she wants to taunt him in return. Lauren has never been able to resist Camden, even when she knows she should really protect her heart. Because he still hates her, and this is just a temporary arrangement for him. So she cannot let this become more for her. Also with this one I felt like it was VERY unrealistic that she would just so openly talk about wanting to lose her virginity on the internet…

This story follows Vanessa, that grew up in a purity culture. This is the second book in the series and I havent read the first so would def say this can be read as a standalone. She wants rid of her virginity and isnt aftaid to admit it. She has a huge following on tiktok and announces that she has a deadline to ‘do it’. Vanessa was a strong fmc, always spoke her mind. She was realistic, honest. She understood body language and how othters worked and their intentions. During the day: If you have a flexible schedule, you may find it helpful to take breaks during the day to read a book.I am the target market here. I love the virgin/manwhore trope. Virginity bets are my thing. College romance is my favorite. I even identify with the Purity culture religious upbringing…. And yet… this was baaaaaaad And then they on the beach getting sand up their butthole and other places but he slips his eggplant in and she's like OOP! And he's like OOPY-OOP! That be a hymen! They have some major relationship struggles, with Logan feeling ignored. He desperately needs Leilani’s full attention, however he just cannot get it. He handles his struggles the way that any player would. He cheats on her. Anyway, the plot: the hero and heroine are college students. She grew up in “purity culture,” a branch of Christianity that emphasizes no sex until marriage. (At least, that’s my understanding from a documentary I saw a while ago. This book barely explains – like it expects us to just know). She’s now a TikTik influencer, posting about how that mentality was toxic for her. She posts a video announcing that she plans to lose her virginity (as part of her efforts to overcome her sexual shame that came from growing up in purity culture). The hero is the campus player, and his frat has a betting pool going on about taking the heroine’s virginity.

She’s a good girl raised in purity culture. He’s the campus bad boy. When he uses her to get revenge, stealing her virginity, she steals his heart instead. Right now I'm releasing the books a year apart because that's as fast as I can write. I'm still a new author so it takes me a long time to get the story where it needs to be, and I need a lot of help from extra eyes. If my speed improves then I will release the books as soon as they come. Ideally, I'd love it if I could release one every six months. Kinks are thrown in at random in the cheesiest most awkward way possible. No depth at all. It’s got it all… and not a single one is done well or organically, it’s all talked to death and the hero is already a card carrying expert as he’s sexed literally all the people in all the ways dozens of times. Nothing at all is exclusive to the MCs. Nothing. Skyler Mason has written a story that shows just how your upbringing and parents influence can effect your life. The story shows the reality of teenagers and young adults, where sex is casual and loses every romantic meaning- which is quite sad, as it’s sad the emotionless way both characters talk about it. I might be older but where are those fluttering in your belly, where’s the heart ache and the shivering, those emotions that are obvious absent in these people who treat sex as basic corporal function.

But then some snippets of weird things came in. Like use of OH GOD for 106 times, not only from h but also H. Sometimes H talked the same way as h (same use of phrases like Jesus,oh god etc) Literally. Now you just have to prepare yourself for all the harassment you’re going to get from frat guys.” This duet is connected to the “Purity” series, since Whitney and Mark are Cole’s parents in “Purity”.
