The Classmate
Tess is supposed to be just my classmate. Just someone I sit behind in three classes. Someone I pass by without a second glance. Someone I shouldn’t give a rat’s ass about.
But … she has taken over my life.
Every waking hour of every day.
Her face is burned into my retinas. Her voice is etched into my brain.
Her laughter—in particular—plays in a loop in my head.
She doesn’t know it, but she’s burrowed herself into my life.
I look at her and feel a longing so desperate and deep.
I can stare at her all day long and still not get my fill. But everyone has impossible dreams, right?
Mine is Tess.
While I walk around with a visible reminder of my past and the filth I carried for the past few years, she’s there in all her perfect glory.
Beautiful. Witty. Funny. Kind. Sweet. Bright future ahead.
All the things I’m not. All the things I’ll never be.
Tess is out of my league, but she’s the fire in my otherwise dank, colorless life.
And if I’m being completely honest, I’ll gladly burn in her presence.

Get yourself a man who will grow out his hair so he can wear your hair tie. I mean, if that's not devotion enough, I don't know what else is. 😂
This was a short and quick read, but it had a good plot.
Theo (23) and Tess (21) were classmates in one class for a year already. They were also mutually attracted to one another but never did anything about it—in fact, they never had any conversation at all. It was secret pining for the both of them.
Anyway, they finally talked on her 21st birthday, and they have been inseparable ever since.
This was nice, with some drama thanks to Tess' father. But all is well, and it was resolved quickly.
Overall, it was an okay read, and the epilogue was nice, though I don't know how many years have passed. 😅

Super sweet - not a scary stalker fic, if that's what you're looking for.
Tess has a crappy family and on her birthday they make her cry. She ends up in a bar where her classmate, Theo, works. Theo is quiet and shy-ish, and he's been stalking Tess since the day he first saw her. He doesn't know she's had a crush on him for just as long.
They go back to his place and have some sweet sex. Everything about this book is super sweet with hearts and cherries on top.
I especially love Theo because he has a scar on his face, he wears glasses, and he's not some pumped up jock.

The Classmate de Lena Little serie Steamy Shorts libro 4
Argumento:
Se supone que Tess es solo mi compañera de clase. Sólo alguien detrás de quien me siento en tres clases. Alguien a quien paso sin mirar dos veces. Alguien por quien no debería importarme un carajo.
Pero… ella se ha apoderado de mi vida.
Cada hora de vigilia de cada día.
Su rostro está grabado a fuego en mis retinas. Su voz está grabada en mi cerebro.
Su risa, en particular, da vueltas en mi cabeza.
Ella no lo sabe, pero se ha metido en mi vida.
La miro y siento un anhelo tan desesperado y profundo.
Puedo mirarla todo el día y aún así no saciarme. Pero todo el mundo tiene sueños imposibles, ¿verdad?
El mío es Tess.
Mientras camino con un recordatorio visible de mi pasado y la suciedad que cargué durante los últimos años, ella está ahí en todo su perfecto esplendor.
Hermosa. Ingeniosa. Divertida. Amable. Dulce. Un futuro brillante por delante.
Todas las cosas que no soy. Todas las cosas que nunca seré.
Tess está fuera de mi alcance, pero ella es el fuego en mi vida, que de otro modo sería húmeda y sin color.
Y si soy completamente honesto, con mucho gusto arderé en su presencia
Mi humilde opinión:
Romance universitario, diferentes clases sociales, amor instantáneo, héroe obsesivo.
De los cuatro libritos de ma serie, este me gustó un poco más. Los personajes tenían más historia de fondo y me hubiera gustado que fuera un libro más extenso. Me encantó Theo, es un héroe marcado por su infancia, el alumno reservado con una cicatriz en el rostro que se sienta detrás de Tess y la anhela en silencio. Tess también tiene problemas familiares pero sus heridas son emocionales y siempre buscó la aprobación de su padre. Desea una familia y ese cariño y fue conmovedor que lo encuentre con Theo y su familia adoptiva. Una vez que los sentimientos por el otro se revelan comienzan a apoyarse y contruir una linda relación. Me gustó cómo se respaldan el uno al otro cuando alguien quiere dañarlos.
Los libritos de Lena son para cuando quieres algo breve, lindo, sexy y tranquilo para descansar de libros más intensos. Me la pasé bien leyendo cada pequeña y apasionante historia de amor a primera vista.

Theo and Tess crushed on each other since their first lecture together. Now she stands crying before Theo while he is bartending at Viks. Her toxic family just ruined her 21st birthday and she finally has the guts to talk to her crush. Now they finally are brave enough to start their HEA 😉. Tess gets her HEA, but she gets a new loving family as well❤️. Instalove, classmates, stalker-ish , OTT, steamy, romantic and safe (I think they were both virgins, not clearly stated but I read it like this🥰) with an awesome HEA😍😍😍😍 I really hope we get Viktors story as well😊

I like & have read several of Lena Littles' books. This is the 4th in her steamy shorts series. I've read the other 3. I really liked the Librarian, but this 1 is my favorite so far in this series. It is short & steamy, but it has a lot of heart. You get more of a backstory to the 2 main characters in this one. I felt for Theo & all he had been threw. Though Tess has had her struggles with her family as well. The 2 of them finally realizing how the other feels is a sweet moment. The 2 of them sticking up for each other, getting to know each other better, & building a relationship is the heart of the book. It's just a short glimpse into their lives, but we do get a couple epilogues. So we can see slightly further into their relationship. Give this 1 a try if you're in the mood for a short steamy read.

I love Theo
He was enamored with her. He couldn't stop thinking about her, and was even enjoying himself at night to her. He found out that she felt the same about him and vowed to do whatever it took to have her. He became her protector, her lover, the person that she needed. They became the family that they both wanted and needed. He helped her stand up for herself with her father. gave her strength.
The epilogue- Tess, she found out that he always wanted her and the measures he went through to get her. I LOVE THEO!

I rate this a 2.5 it was a fast fun read some I enjoyed some things I didn’t really love but was overall a pretty nice read wish some parts were a little slower and wish he didn’t end up punching/choking a guy out ask fast though one was definitely about to deserve it and the other was definitely on his way there so can’t say I blame him to much but also think it could’ve been handled a little differently but I think that’s part of his supposed appeal but I don’t love that but it wasn’t that bad so I guess I don’t mind it and also from the little I got to know I enjoyed his character

Think this was my favourite one out of all the others I’ve read so far. These stories are cute, short added with abit of spice.
This one I liked more cause the FMC, basically told her dad to shove it where the son doesn’t shined. The MC isn’t ya typical male who’s a millionaire. The only thing that make be 🫣, is the guys proposing like weeks after being with the the girl.
But it’s still cute tho 😁

Once again like the previous books it’s delivered on what was being sold. But I will say I think this one is my favourite! I loved that there was no 3rd act break up (which I always find frustrating in short stories) and I loved that the MMC didn’t have to win over or convince the FMC he was worthy! And I’m actually gonna rate this 3.5⭐️!
I’m giving the extra half ⭐️ for why he grew out his hair 😍😍😍😍

Theo and Tess
Coming from totally different backgrounds, Theo was physically abused by his father - when he was younger his drunken father threw him through a glass table and left him with a horrible facial scar. As for Tess her dad and siblings were verbally and emotionally abusive.
They eventually found the courage to speak to each other and found solace and love for each other. Beautiful story - Theo is a beautiful man.

All isn’t what it appears. Being quiet and guarded became a way to survive for Theo. Most of those around him didn’t take the time to get to him. Tess appears to be a spoiled rich girl. She is hiding a secret no one suspects. The way their scares are revealed led to these fractured people finding a kindred soulmate. This is a good read, enjoy.

My heart breaks for Tess and Theo. I hate how their parents treated them. I’m glad Theo found the family he needed and then Tess did as well. Their love for each other is beautiful. I mean, Theo is obsessed in all the best ways possible. Growing his hair out to wear her hair tie? Strange but also so damn sweet. Love!

Theo wants Tess.
Theo has been obsessing over Tess for months and now she's in the bar where he works. Little does Theo know but Tess noticed him a while ago and is very attracted to him. Its time these two got together and showed each other what its like to have unconditional love!!

I'm Glad For My Dad
My dad was a sweetie like There's foster dad. If my was anything like Team's dad, I would run away from home. Lena Little did a great job on the characters. I never wanted to hate a dad so much.

This was a good quick fiery read. It had interesting characters. I would have liked to see their characters developed a little more but I understand it’s a quick story. It was a good read.
