Throb
All Becca's ever wanted was for things to be simple. At the end of senior year, it seems like they are: she's the social chair of the most exclusive sorority at University of California, Beverly Hills. She's got a sexy friend-with-benefits who caters to her every whim and desire (and make a mean cocktail as an added bonus). The only problem? She's going to need to learn to let down her walls, because her world's about to come crashing down and she can't handle it alone.
Jason bartends at the hottest club in town, Club Grit, where the wealthy and beautiful and the young and reckless come to play. Becca's the only girl that's ever wanted to keep things complicated, to keep things at the friends with benefits level. But for Jason? That's not enough. Even though he knows Becca thinks it's just about sex to him, it's not. What he wants is something more, but will Becca's feelings for him change once his secret gets out?
When Becca learns about her sorority's skeletons in the closet, and her "boss" from the summer, billionaire rapped Keanne, comes back to LA, everything changes...but will the undefined relationship between Becca and Jason stay strong and true? Or will secrets and temptation break them apart?

About the author
Brooke Jaxsen
5 books17 followersBrooke Jaxsen. 20. Girl in college, majoring in English with a concentration in Creative Writing, obv. I’m writing new adult romance novels, mostly contemporary, but expect some fantasy and paranormal in the months to come! I’ve always wanted to be a writer but never thought that people would actually want to read the kinds of stories I write: the ones about girls like me, who every day (and night) are one step closer to full adulthood, to full womanhood.
In my free time, I read lots of new adult and young adult fiction, swim, shop, sleep, do my nails, and play video games. Blog all day, party all night. I’m on the Internet far too much for my own good.
“Pulse” is my first novel, in my “Club Grit” trilogy. Look out for “Throb”, a story about Becca, and “Shattered”, a story about Kim (yes, that Kim, Kim Lee!), the girl behind all the drama at Omega Mu Gamma. All three stories are about Omega girls and the trouble they get into at Club Grit. You don’t want to miss this.
You can find me in a lot of different places.

I just couldn't punish myself this way. Between the "caramel colored weave" (WTF???) to the "mocha shoulders", I just couldn't finish this. I know this is meant to be New Adult and the characters are all in a sorority made up of beautiful, smart (and I guess multicultural) girls in Beverly Hills (lots of name-dropping here), but it just read like really bad YA. Or worse, an episode of 90210. I kept wondering where Brenda and Kelly were. Yes, I love a good bw/wm IR romance, but I have to like the heroine first. Becca was just painfully shallow. The slut-shaming wasn't working for me either.
Off to the next book.
Update: checked out the author's blog. The epic fail is now explained. I was right. Sensitivity-Training-Needed-Here. Very much so.

Jason he's really thoughtful, "yeah, I know. I saw these at CVS, they're flats for after dancing and stuff, and I thought you might want some relief so I go them for you." The boy is always horny and Becca well that girl might be a tad bit naughty, "although I knew it was wicked of me, I slipped my hand over his pants and felt what I knew by now to expect: that his member was hard, so hard I could feel it through the thick denim of his designed jeans." Jason he's always taking care of Becca and I find it really really sweet, "looks like I forgot to take care of something." And he's very good at dishing out punishments, "I'll sentence you to the most terrible punishment of all," he growled into my ear. "You have to clean every inch of my body." I liked this book and I'm ready for the next one.

yeah that's what I had to deal with in the first 5 chapters. a lot of repeating the same thing over and over again. and a bunch of drunk college girls who let's all the boys screw them.
