CamdenI'm a fun-loving guy who doesn't take life too seriously. If there's something I want, I go for it. Why not? Life's too short to slide into the grave with regrets. But what I don't do is go for men who aren't out and proud. Been there, done that. The only real way to get to me is to hurt my brother, but now that Sawyer's happy, he doesn't need me anymore. I'm stoked for him, I am! But seeing my friends and brother paired off is a constant reminder of the one thing I don't have but desperately want: Jude. There's something about this beautiful man who insists he's not into men. Even with my rules about guys who aren't out, I've craved him since the moment he stepped foot in Fever Falls. Now that he's one of my best friends, that desire has raged into an inferno I'm powerless to tame.JudeI've always considered myself straight. I wrote off the whole fascination with my longtime best friend Rush as something weird that happened. I've been over him for a while now, and the person who helped me was Camden Burke, the flirty man who calls me beautiful. I used to hate getting compliments about my looks, but when Cam does it... Well, let's say the way he makes me feel is my first clue that the thing with Rush wasn't a one-time deal. I'm bisexual. And Cam makes me laugh and always listens. Since I've been in Fever Falls, I've become closer to him than I've ever been with anyone, Rush included. So when I decide to explore my newfound sexuality, who better than Cam to show me all the pleasures of being with a man? Only, we get caught, and now it's not just Cam showing me what it's like to be with a guy-he's become my professor in what he calls Boyfriend 101, and apparently, I'm a very good student.But unfortunately, I have some issues to work out and a few exam scores start slipping. Cam has already graded on a curve by breaking some of his rules to be with me. If I can't get my act together, I'll flunk out of Boyfriend 101, and I can't imagine retaking the course with anyone but him.

Dating Basics 101 is the first of a series of books designed to help make man's journey in dating and relationships easier. Unlike other dating books, the simple, step-by-step, comprehensive formula combines modern-day psychological principles and ancient philosophical concepts with meditative practices, paving the way to finding the right date. Author David Linares starts by examining philosophical beliefs about women and dating, as well as common misconceptions that lead to anxiety and insecurity in men; he then offers effective ways to deal with these issues. Next, he explores the attitudes that women find attractive and interesting, how to effectively communicate with women, where to meet women, how to ask for a date, where to go, what to do, how to be romantic, and so much more. This innovative guide will explain how to have self-confidence and to relax and enjoy the date. Some dating books help a certain kind of guy looking for a certain kind of girl. Others will explain how to get the girl, but not how to actually build up the confidence to do it. The primary purpose of Dating Basics 101 is to assist in gaining the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the world of dating.

Living in sin isn't what it used to be. Nowadays, shacking up is almost a rite of passage;couples are living together now more than ever. The question is, are they any good at it? Or will you be any good at it? Whether you're in a live-in relationship or about to be in one, Tiffany Current's How to Move In with Your Boyfriend (and Not Break Up with Him) aims to help you stay smart and happy along the road to live-in bliss. Current successfully navigated the perils of her live-in relationship only to marry the man who provided fodder for her "how to" guidebook. But it wasn't "all that" from the start. Within weeks of moving in with him, she was ready to chuck his PlayStation out the window and hand his cat off to a stranger. After only a few short months, she was ready to end her relationship since they couldn't agree on anything. Whether discussing cleaning habits, house rules, or decorating tastes, everything turned into an argument. As a result, she realized three important success laws: 1. Communication. Communication is important in any live-in relationship. You need to constantly let each other know what is and isn't working in order for your live-in relationship to be a success. 2. Teamwork. In any live-in relationship, you need to be willing to work together and share in the responsibilities (in setting ground rules, handling chores, making decisions, dealing with relationship hardships, etc.). If you aren't making your relationship an equal partnership (or being a team player), then one person will always feel like they're getting the shorter end of the stick. 3. Compromise. If you want your live-in relationship to last, then you need to be able to compromise. Since this is a partnership, that means you can't always have things your way. You need to be willing to hear other options and come up with solutions that you both can agree on. How to Move In with Your Boyfriend (and Not Break Up with Him) is packed with witty communication tips, quizzes, hilarious mock conversations and more, all designed to help you in your decision to shack up or make the most of the situation you're already in. Own up to your bad habits and know your deal breakers! Are there things you shouldn't share? What should you do about his ratty La-Z-Boy. What about chores, money, pets, and friends? And what about your SEX life - will it change? Men and women cohabitating is on the rise. Statistics show that nearly half of every woman you know will cohabitate at some point. And with today's economy, cohabitating makes sense. But be smart about it. How to Move In with Your Boyfriend (and Not Break Up with Him) will help you, your girlfriends - even your own mother - identify and make the best of decisions when it comes live-in bliss. Added Value: How to Move In with Your Boyfriend (and Not Break Up with Him) may even help lead you down the aisle like it did the author.
