Livie has always been the stable one of the two Cleary sisters, handling her parents’ tragic death and Kacey’s self-destructive phase with strength and maturity. But underneath that exterior is a little girl hanging onto the last words her father ever spoke to her. “Make me proud,” he had said. She promised she would…and she’s done her best over the past seven years with every choice, with every word, with every action.
Livie walks into Princeton with a solid plan, and she’s dead set on delivering on it: Rock her classes, set herself up for medical school, and meet a good, respectable guy that she’s going to someday marry. What isn’t part of her plan are Jell-O shots, a lovable, party animal roommate she can’t say ‘no’ to, and Ashton, the gorgeous captain of the men’s rowing team. Definitely him. He’s an arrogant ass who makes Livie’s usually non-existent temper flare and everything she doesn’t want in a guy. Worse, he’s best friends and roommates with Connor, who happens to fits Livie’s criteria perfectly. So why does she keep thinking about Ashton?
As Livie finds herself facing mediocre grades, career aspirations she no longer thinks she can handle, and feelings for Ashton that she shouldn’t have, she’s forced to let go of her last promise to her father and, with it, the only identity that she knows.

I look for real life dramas/
Demitra
The protagonists face different challenges–adult challenges. I wish I had some of these books available when I was going through my college years. Not that it would have changed me, more like made me realize I wasn’t alone in my confusion about the Grown Up World.The 18–24-year-old had been forgotten in literature.

I like to read likeable and sympathetic characters involved in a great storyline. It would be great if there’s a good blend of drama, humor, and sexiness.
Marie
for New Adult reads, I look for growing up. Going from immature to discovering that life is more than “person most likely to…” competitions. A little angst and drama, that blossoms into a real HEA.
Jenni Carlene
A little confused by the question we should comment on so I think I’ll answer what I look for instead of saying what I’d like to look like (because that could sound embarrassing. lol):
What I look for: strong characters, bravery, unconditional love, definite chemistry ( I want to feel their connection), laughs, good cries and great friendship.
Bethany Macielag
I look for great characters in which, I can feel the connection between the lovers. I look for an interesting story with the right amount of hot detailed foreplay and sex.
Thank you for the chance to win.
