Book #18
The BOY
Opposites college romance, with a passionate & persistent MMC (The BOY) who falls first.
It's short, and it's steamy, but this is also a very sweet romance.

I’m Jordan Bates.
Class clown, life of the party, and the guy who turns even the most boring lecture into a comedy special.
I can make anyone laugh. And I mean anyone. Even the meanest, coldest, crankiest people on the planet. It’s what I do. It’s who I am. I am THAT boy. Funny is my middle name. I bring the fun, the energy, the chaos, the laughter.
I’ve never once stopped to wonder what my life would be without it.
Until her.
She's Jordyn Lee.
She’s quiet, unassuming, always with her head down, trying to blend in the background. She comes to class wrapped in baggy pants and oversized shirts, her long, dark hair shielding her face like she’s trying to disappear. And maybe she is. She definitely doesn’t look like someone who craves attention. On the contrary, she seems to hate it.
While I’m out here making a scene or two, she’s slipping through the cracks unconcerned. Unnoticed.
But not by me. No, ma’am.
The first time I see her, something inside me burns and comes alive. I don’t know why. It doesn’t make sense. Suddenly, all the noise, all the parties, all the laughter—it isn’t enough.
She’s the one. I want her to notice me. So, I try. I want to make her laugh. Desperately.
But will she ever see me?
Will she ever think I’m worthy of her?

A short page-tuning love story. College romance. Opposites attract. Grumpy/Sunshine.
He falls first. Virgin FMC. No OM/OW. Sweet HEA.

’No soy de las que disfrutan pasar tiempo con otros, pero con Jordan no me molesta. Es extraño, sin duda, y me hace sentir como si estuviera en medio de un barco que se tambalea, a punto de caer en cualquier momento. Todo esto es raro desde el principio, pero verlo tan feliz se ha convertido en una de mis cosas favoritas.’

The BOY de Lena Little Serie Steamy Shorts libro 18

Argumento:

Soy Jordan Bates.

El payaso de la clase, el alma de la fiesta y el tipo que convierte incluso la clase más aburrida en un especial de comedia.

Puedo hacer reír a cualquiera. Y me refiero a cualquiera. Incluso a las personas más crueles, frías y malhumoradas del planeta. Es lo que hago. Es quién soy. Soy ESE chico. Divertido es mi segundo nombre. Traigo la diversión, la energía, el caos, la risa.

Nunca me he parado a preguntarme qué sería de mi vida sin ello.

Hasta que ella ...

Ella es Jordyn Lee.

Es tranquila, modesta, siempre con la cabeza gacha, intentando pasar desapercibida. Ella viene a clase envuelta en pantalones anchos y camisetas demasiado grandes, su cabello largo y oscuro protegiendo su rostro como si estuviera tratando de desaparecer. Y tal vez lo sea. Definitivamente no parece alguien que anhele atención. Al contrario, parece odiarla.

Mientras estoy aquí afuera haciendo una escena o dos, ella se desliza por las grietas despreocupada. Desapercibida.

Pero no por mí. No, señora.

La primera vez que la veo, algo dentro de mí arde y cobra vida. No sé por qué. No tiene sentido. De repente, todo el ruido, todas las fiestas, todas las risas, no es suficiente.

Ella es la indicada. Quiero que se fije en mí. Así que lo intento. Quiero hacerla reír.

Desesperadamente.

¿Pero alguna vez me verá? ¿Alguna vez pensará que soy digno de ella?



Mi humilde opinión:

Romance universitario, opuestos se atraen, gruñón-sol, él cae primero, heroína virgen, héroe obsesionado.

Me encantaba Jordan, era el payaso de la clase, el chico encantador que no se da por vencido con la chica que llamo su atención. Jordyn no tuvo oportunidad con él, su insistencia y alegría derribaron el escudo que tenia en su corazón. Fue algo lindo que él quiera que ella ría y sonría algo que Jordyn nunca hacía. Él logra sacarla de su zona de confort, le dio seguridad y más confianza. Hubo un poco de angustia por las inseguridades de ella pero el malentendido se resuelve enseguida.

Cada vez que puedo agarro una historia corta de las steamy que tiene Lena Little, son dulces y picantes para pasar el rato entretenida.

They say opposites attract well out two prove that concept you put it down until the last page has been turned. Take Jordan the popular boy who everyone knows because he is the class clown ready with a smile for everyone and ready with a smile for anyone/everyone. Then we have the invisible girl Jordyn who is quietly trying to blend in and keep her head down be a part of the background, always hiding the two are opposites. Jordan makes it his mission to get her to notice him to smile will he accomplish that mission is so where are they headed?

Intriguing

How crazy that the MMC and the MFC have the same name-just spelled differently. And that’s just one of many things that makes this story so great. Jordyn is a young lady who keeps to herself and doesn’t interact with her classmates or anyone else. Jordan is a classmate who is obsessed with Jordyn and doing his best to engage her in conversation or to join him for lunch. And all it takes is for a bully to knock into Jordyn to change her reaction to Jordan. And that’s when the real story takes off. Lena Little does it again. An excellent read.

Jordan and Jordyn

Jordan is the class clown, always making everyone laugh with his antics. Everyone but the shy girl, Jordyn, and for some reason, that fact doesn't sit well with him.
Soon, he is obsessed and won't rest until he makes hus girl laugh.
There are two things I didn't particularly like; the cover and the ending. I would have like something more elaborate.
Nonetheless, recommended

This is definitely a steamy short! Jordan has been struck by the shy and sweet Jordyn. He’s sure she’s special and will do anything to win over his girl. They are so cute together when she finally gives in to him and gives love a chance. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Boy Not ByByBy

This quite invisible girl and hot funny boy is so accurate. This short has all the emotions young like to love go through. Adding mean girls just increased the believability of this love story. This book packs a sweet punch!! Enjoy😍😍!

Cute

It was really cute the way he kept hitting on her, asking her out to lunch. And those other girls, they are all trash! They made a cute couple and the others were jealous.

[Alonna Irizarry · Rating 2 out of 5]

College/ opposites attract/ grumpy/sunshine/ virgin FMC/ HEA

Trigger warning: bullying(not MC)/ stalking

This was extremely short but I liked both of these characters so I wish it was longer.

[Janet · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved it! It's awesome when a popular sexy guy all the girls want falls for the quiet picked on girl ❤️

[Teresa Wright · Rating 3 out of 5]

okay

Wow! This was way short. It read more like an outline than a story. No time for any development. It was a good outline.
