A painfully awkward love story.<\/p>\n
Incomprehensibly awkward Elizabeth Wilde is desperate for love. Connection. Intimacy. After a lifetime of romantic failures, the twenty-one-year-old gamer realizes she needs help. Professional help. She needs\u2026<\/p>\n
A sex tutor.<\/p>\n
The devastatingly hot jock Austin Jacobs is just the man for the job. As the reigning campus sex god, he has the playboy act down pat. But underneath those six-pack abs beats a broken heart. He doesn\u2019t trust people and he sure as hell doesn\u2019t believe in love.<\/p>\n
The odd couple strike a deal. Four weeks of \u2018tutoring\u2019 for five thousand dollars.<\/p>\n
When Austin coaxes Elizabeth out from behind her computer screen, the attraction they feel is undeniable. They\u2019re both a little broken, but somehow their jagged edges fit. And when their world comes tumbling down on top of them, they each have to decide if this weird thing called love is worth fighting for.<\/p>\n

5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n
OMG, I love this book! It\u2019s so freaking good! Funny, smart and sexy with a gorgeous NA romance, I was so entertained and I adored every single moment!<\/p>\n
Elizabeth Wilde is a 21-year-old college senior who is, in a word, \u201cweird<\/i>\u201d. She is awkward and clumsy, has little social life outside of online gaming, and she has no experience when it comes to men. Like\u2026 zero. And not for lack of trying. She needs help, so she turns to her campus\u2019s hottest playboy, football star, Austin Jacobs.<\/p>\n \u201cI need a tutor,\u201d I spit out. Austin isn\u2019t a manwhore, but he doesn\u2019t date, and has a reputation on campus for being great in bed. He\u2019s just the skilled, no-strings man that Elizabeth needs, and after an amusing but awkwardly uncomfortable first meeting they agree to one month of \u2018tutoring\u2019 for $5000 where Austin will help Elizabeth overcome her fears and learn some skills.<\/p>\n Austin throws himself straight into the job, and the two of them get down to their \u2018sex syllabus\u2019 which includes a whole lot of flirting, kissing, touching, dirty talk, lingerie and nudity. It\u2019s funny, witty and sexy, and the banter is fantastic as their lessons morph into a genuine friendship. Austin really brings Elizabeth to life, pushing her boundaries and forcing her to go way<\/i> outside of her comfort zone, and she goes along with it all like a champ.<\/p>\n \u201cThe sexiest asset any woman can have is confidence\u201d\u2026 And as the two of them hang out more and more, they develop an insane chemistry that inevitably changes everything between them. It\u2019s natural and so easy between them, and I loved watching the development of their relationship. I could feel<\/i> every little shift \u2013 the glances, the smiles, the openness and the touches that are so much more meaningful than just \u2018lessons\u2019. It\u2019s spine-tingling, and while I was busting for them to get there, I also didn\u2019t want the wonderful anticipation to end, rereading sections just to experience it all over again. And I love when that happens while I\u2019m reading.<\/p>\n She says a single word. It\u2019s so gorgeous as Elizabeth and Austin fall into a relationship that neither of them expected. Elizabeth\u2019s awkwardness has kept her so isolated, and Austin\u2019s tragic past has left him disbelieving in love. They are both damaged, and neither of them quite know what to do with all of their feelings, and watching them figure it out is beautifully emotional.<\/p>\n I trace the curve of her full bottom lip with my thumb, my pulse quickening as desire surges through me. I want to be her hero. I kiss her fiercely, with everything I am. With everything she believes I could be. It\u2019s not a smooth ride for them though, and they both have demons to overcome, but I loved their journey and couldn\u2019t put this book down as their story played out.<\/p>\n Loving her isn\u2019t a job. Fuck, it wasn\u2019t even a choice.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This is my first read by Amelia Kingston, and I really love her writing style. Funny, witty, smart and emotive, she\u2019s given us a great story with lots of heart, and I\u2019m really excited to check out more of her work. This is the beginning of a new series for her, and I can\u2019t wait to continue on!<\/p>\n Love, love, loved it \u2013 5 stars!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, That Got Weird (#1) <\/strong>(Austin & Elizabeth) This is So Happening (#2) <\/strong>(Devin & Jessie) So Wrong, It’s Wright (#3) <\/strong>(Drew & Michelle) So Not My Type (#4) <\/strong>(Eddie & Jackie) <\/p>\n The Escapist Book Blog is not responsible for this giveaway\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Amelia Kingston is many things, the most interesting of which are probably California girl, writer, traveler, and dog mom. She survives on chocolate, coffee, wine, and sarcasm. Not necessarily in that order.<\/p>\n She\u2019s been blessed with a patient husband who\u2019s embraced her nomad ways and traveled with her to over 30 countries across 5 continents (I\u2019m coming for you next, Antarctica!). She\u2019s also been cursed with an impatient (although admittedly adorable) terrier who pouts when her dinner is 5 minutes late.<\/p>\n She writes about strong, stubborn, flawed women and the men who can’t help but love them. Her irreverent books aim to be silly and fun with the occasional storm cloud to remind us to appreciate the sunny days. As a hopeless romantic, her favorite stories are the ones that remind us all that while love is rarely perfect, it\u2019s always worth chasing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Newsletter<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Website<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Goodreads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0NEW 5-STAR FAVE FROM AMELIA KINGSTON IS LIVE!

\n\u201cI think the campus has a program for that sort of thing,\u201d he adds helpfully.
\n\u201cNot that kind of tutor.\u201d
\nHe\u2019s staring at me, one eyebrow raised.
\n\u2026
\n\u201cTutoring you? In what, exactly?\u201d
\nI\u2019m relieved he seems to be more curious than creeped out for the moment.
\n\u201cTeaching me some social skills.\u201d
\n\u201cLike what? <\/i>Exactly.\u201d He isn\u2019t going to let me be vague. Subtle innuendo isn\u2019t going to work.
\n\u201cLike flirting, touching, kissing. Like sex.\u201d
\nConfusion morphs into something else as his eyes go wide. I\u2019m expecting shock or maybe
\nrepulsion. What I see is amusement.
\n\u201cDid you just proposition me?\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cSo you\u2019re saying I\u2019m screwed?\u201d I deadpan. He laughs, his shoulders shaking with the deep, sweet sound. I can\u2019t help but smile back at him. I\u2019ll never get sick of that sound. Making him laugh makes me feel good.
\n\u201cWell, confidence and a great rack. One out of two ain\u2019t half bad.\u201d His voice is sultry as he lowers his eyes down my body to my chest.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cStay.\u201d
\nIt\u2019s part command and part plea.
\nAs if there\u2019s anything in the world that could pull me away from her right now.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nThis girl shatters me.
\nShe gives me hope that the world isn\u2019t exclusively pain and shit.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\nSo Far, So Good<\/strong><\/h4>\n
