Something in the Way - Jessica Hawkins
It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. He was older, darker, experienced. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. Yet we saw something in each other that would link us in ways that couldn't be broken...no matter how hard we tried.
I loved Manning before I knew the meaning of the word. I was too young, he said. I would wait. Through all the carefully-chosen words hiding what we knew to be true, his struggle to keep me innocent, and infinitely-starry nights—I would wait. But I'd learn that no matter what you achieve in life, it means nothing if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn't matter. My older sister saw him next.

My Top 10 Favorite Movies (Chick Flick Edition)
Two reasons why I am writing a romance fiction story, is 1) due to chick flicks. I grew up watching all of these beautiful stories on the big screen. They really taught me a thing or two about true love, the do’s and the don’ts, and most importantly, introduced my obsession with NYC. I have mentioned it once before, maybe ten times. Ok.. at least a hundred times.
2) Romance novels! I absolutely love reading them.
How to Create a Writing Schedule
Need a writing schedule? Something that you can stick to? Oftentimes, we find ourselves thinking about wanting to write, but don’t sit down to do it. Maybe we need to find a timeframe to fit our writing into our everyday routine. I know for me, that is exactly how I work. I love routine (most of the time) and how it keeps be on track.
I’m sharing how I created my writing schedule and how I stick to it.
If You Were Mine - By Melanie Harlow, Book Review
Theo MacLeod wasn’t supposed to be the one.
Tall, dark and handsome suits me just fine, but the cocky grin, know-it-all attitude, and mammoth ego? No thanks. I only hired him so I wouldn’t have to sit at the singles table again. It was just pretend.
He wasn’t supposed to kiss me.
My heart wasn’t supposed to pound.
We weren’t supposed to spend the night together—the hottest night of my life.
One night turns into a snowed-in weekend away, and even the blizzard of the century can’t cool the fire between us. I can’t get enough—of his smile, of his body, of the way he makes me feel.
We’re nothing alike. He’s a daredevil, and I’m a nervous Nellie. He’s a drifter, and I want to put down roots. He’s an opportunist with a checkered past, and I’m a Girl Scout volunteer.
But none of it matters when I’m in his arms.
I know he’s made mistakes. I know his wounds are deep, and he doesn’t trust easily. I know he doesn’t believe he could ever be enough to make me happy, but he could.
Short Story #2 - The Hater Interview, Part 2
We braved the principal separately and learned that we would be in detention for the rest of the week for “disruptive behavior.” Oh goody... stuck with Andy all week in the ever so torturous study hell, I mean hall. And to top it off, I have to work with him today after school to finish the punishment Mrs. Winston assigned us. My palm slapped against my pathetic face. Why did I have to be late today? Of all the days.
It took forever as I watched and waited for the clock to move its arms. After, what seemed like hours that stretched into days, the afternoon bell finally rang its sweet screech. I ran off to my car, hoping to avoid Andy, who seemed too determined to wreck my day. Luckily, I made it inside my car without anyone seeing me. The sweet silence that filled the stuffy air inside my car, was much better than being stuck with Andy.
