Top Ten Book Characters As Cupcake Flavors

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish . Top Ten Book Characters As Cupcake Flavors 1. Jase Winstead ( Be With Me by J. Lynn) Chocolate Peanut Butter - chocolate cake topped with peanut butter frosting . Jase is tall, dark and seductive, just like chocolate cake. His smooth moves and sweet offerings help to balance out his occasional saltiness. A combination Tess finds hard to resist. (J. Lynn too, apparently. This one is her favorite.) 2. Teresa Hamilton ( Be With Me by J. Lynn) Vanilla Strawberry - vanilla cake topped with strawberry buttercream frosting. Tess, like vanilla cake, is a classic. What you see is what you get. She's dependable but don't let her sweetness fool you. She has a refreshing side too, one that can be a little tart at times, but it's exactly what Jase needs. 3. Cam Hamilton ( Wait For You by J. Lynn)   Turtle Cupcake - chocolate cake, topped with chocolate buttercrea

Make It Count (Bowler University #1) by Megan Erickson

Author: Megan Erickson Publication: June 3, 2014 By: William Morrow PB 4 Stars Amazon | Goodreads Kat Caruso wishes her brain had a return policy, or at least a complaint hot-line. The defective organ is constantly distracted, terrible at statistics, and absolutely flooded with inappropriate thoughts about her boyfriend’s gorgeous best friend, Alec…who just so happens to be her brand new math tutor. Who knew nerd was so hot? Kat usually goes through tutors like she does boyfriends—both always seem to bail when they realize how hopeless she is. It’s safer for her heart to keep everyone at arm’s reach. But Alec is always stepping just a little too close. Alec Stone should not be fantasizing about Kat. She’s adorable, unbelievably witty, and completely off limits. He’d never stab his best friend in the back… But when secrets are revealed, the lines of loyalty are blurred. To make it count, Alec must learn messy human emotions can’t be solved like a trigonometry func
