Hangry: A sexy contemporary romantic comedy (The Girls Book 1)

“What were we thinking?” Lucas reacts on a ten second delay. “We were thinking it’d be funny to surprise you where this all began! We weren’t thinking you’d get it on in the three minutes you were stuck!”
“That was only three minutes?” I glance at Bradley. “Yikes.”
“Felt longer,” he agrees.
“We didn’t know you’d be here,” I say, a bit defensive. “And anyway, we’re still on our honeymoon.”
“No, that ended in Fiji,” Lucas says. “You’re home now.”
“Technically, we’re not quite...” Bradley begins, then sees my father watching him, so he shrinks to the back of the elevator. “Never mind.”
“Why does everyone keep thinking we got our start in the elevator, anyway?” I climb from it, holding the door open as Brad shuffles our bags out. “We met about a million years ago.”
“Yeah, and apparently all of your sexual tension and frustration is still bubbling over,” Kitty says. “A week in paradise, and you’re still scrambling to get your hands on one another in the service elevator.”
“Were you all responsible for the caution tape out in the front lobby?” I point at them accusatorily. “And mom, I thought you dropped me off to go home.”
“We wanted to have a surprise welcome back party,” my mother says. “That’s why Lucas and everyone ignored your messages. We didn’t want anyone to give it away.”
My dad makes a weird sound in his throat, and Bradley murmurs something that sounds like an apology. I cringe into the background and sink against Brad’s side. He’s bigger than me, so people’s eyes go to him first. I’m working on my ability to become invisible.
“Oh, people, give it up,” my mother finally says. “These two have had eyes for each other for two decades. It’s a good thing they love each other.”
“Thanks, mom.”
“We’re all adults here, so let’s move along and celebrate! There are worse things than a couple so madly in love they can’t keep their hands off each other.”
“Agreed, Mrs. Monroe,” Bradley says. “I do love your daughter, and—”
“Don’t push it, Bradley,” my mom shoots back. “She’s still my daughter, and your fly is down.”

DAD BOD
I’M A SINGLE MOM.
He’s a single dad.
In theory, we should have something in common, right? Wrong.
When I receive a phone call from my daughter’s school, I’m shocked to find my sweet little girl has been in a fight. Hauled to the principal’s office to straighten things out, I find myself sitting next to none other than my first kiss—Tyler Daniels—the man who’d taught me the meaning of trouble.
After living the high life in NYC, he’s back in town to ruin me again. This time—the joke’s on him. I’m older and (sometimes) wiser, and after my last failed relationship, I’m in no mood to have my pigtails pulled. Not even when Tyler decides to try that kissing thing all over again.
However, Tyler’s gotten a lot better at that kissing thing, and when one steamy kiss leads to the next, I suddenly find myself thinking about Tyler Daniels and his smoking hot dad bod at the worst of times. Even if his presence in my town will run my beautiful little inn right out of business.
When push comes to shove, however, Tyler Daniels and I are not cut out to be friends—and I’m not sure if we’re ready for more.

Did you love Hangry? Then you should read Delivery Girl by Lily Kate!
Good things come in extra-large, smoking hot packages.
Things like pizza.
The very pizzas that I deliver for my dad’s restaurant, Peretti’s Pizza. It’s a temporary job, something to pay the bills until I graduate from school, but it does the trick. In fact, it's working quite well until Ryan Pierce of the Minnesota Stars decides to order a pizza from me, and life as I know it turns upside down.
You see, Ryan Pierce doesn’t just open his front door. He opens it buck naked. And suddenly, I’m not the one boasting the biggest, hottest package in the room. However, it’s what happens next that gives me butterflies whenever my phone beeps. Ryan starts to call, and then text, and then fifteen pizza deliveries and one fantastic night later, we’re friends with benefits.
So when he asks me to be his fake girlfriend at his brother’s wedding, I’m happy to help. But the longer we pretend, the more I worry that this is one package I might not be able to handle.
