Today we’re celebrating the release of Cassia Anti-Romance! Anti-Romance is NOT a romance. This is a hilariously screwed-up stand-alone novel love story that’s a must read!
About Anti-Romance:
Laney Hill is screwed. On the bed. On the treadmill. On the hood of a BMW. And on her boss’s desk. Then she’s screwed again when she steps into the free clinic and finds out she has gonorrhea. That dirty prick gave her gonorrhea! She’s totally going to break up with him...until he breaks up with her...because he’s married!
A night out drinking with friends leads to a fateful--yet awkwardly-sloppy--kiss between her and her best friend George Bratton.
George has been single and pining for his ex-girlfriend ever since their breakup two years ago. When his ex invites him to her destination wedding in London, self-destructive George and gonorrhea survivor Laney make a deal to go as each other’s dates. It will make great material for Laney’s “Anti-Romance” blog and maybe it will help George finally get over his ex. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right?
This is a stand-alone novel.
Add it on Goodreads:
This
is book one of a two-book series, with book two scheduled for release in May
2016.
EXCERPT: CHAPTER 7, EXCERPT 1:
I closed my
eyes and balled my hands into fists to hide the fact that I was now
trembling. No one knew about the real
purpose of my blog other than my friends, and I had just spilled my secret to a
man I’d basically known for a total of four hours. The one alcoholic beverage I’d consumed
tonight had been digested hours ago, but suddenly my stomach went sour. Oh, God.
What had I done? “So that’s why
you’re always bringing home all kinds of guys?” he asked, his voice
unexpectedly calm and inquisitive. “Holy
shit. Are you gonna write about me?” I turned to him and shook my head
furiously. “No! I have no intention of writing about you.” He didn’t seem convinced. “You’re the one who asked me out,” I reminded
him. “I had no intention of dating you,
much less sleeping with you.”
“You’re not
making this any easier to swallow,” he said as he pulled the truck into the
apartment complex. “That’s what she
said. Oh, God. I’m sorry.”
He laughed. “That’s okay. I walked right into that one.” I sighed again as I tried to think of how to
explain this without bearing my soul to him, but I couldn’t think of
anything. “I don’t know what it is about
you, but you make me want to do things I’ve never done.” He cocked an eyebrow as he parked the
truck. “Such as?” “Like, tell you about what I do for a living.” “So I should be honored?” he said as he
pulled the key out of the ignition. I
looked into his eyes for a moment and thought of when he asked me to be his
pick girl earlier tonight. “Absolutely,”
I replied. “You see, I have a rule. I don’t write about any of my dates until the
relationship is over. But…” I pressed my lips together as I gazed into
his eyes and gathered the courage I needed to continue. “I’ve always told myself that when the right
guy comes along, I won’t ever have to write about him because…we’ll never be
over.”
He broke eye contact as he stared at
the steering wheel for a moment. “You’re
telling me that you plan on quitting your job when you find the right guy?”
