DESCRIPTION:
Rafe is appalled with himself for losing his virginity in a drunken hookup. The girl who's had everyone meets the boy who has no one.For Bella, the sweet-talking, free-loving, hip-checking student manager of the Harkness men's hockey team, sex is a second language. Bella doesn't want Rafe's help, and she's through with men. His strict Catholic upbringing always emphasized loving thy neighbor--but not with a bottle of wine and a box of condoms. But when Bella is leveled by a little bad luck and a downright nasty fraternity stunt, it's Rafe who is there to pick up the pieces. Standalone novel, no cliffhangers, no prior experience necessary. She knows better than to worry about it, but there's something in those espresso eyes that makes her second guess herself. So she can't understand why her smoking hot downstairs neighbor has so much trouble staying friends after their spontaneous night together. Too bad the undeniable spark that crackles between the two of them just can't be extinguished.. The result is an Ivy League bout of awkwardness. She's used to being fluent where others stutter, and the things people say behind her back don't (often) bother her
"The Shameless Hour is a gift to any girl or woman who's ever been slut-shamed. It's magnificent." - Tammara Webber, bestselling author of Easy and Sweet

Sweet revenge The fourth Ivy Years book brings us the story of Bella. When we first met Bella, life was pretty good for her, but after the disappointment she went through over Graham, she is not quite herself, and then something awful happens to her and she hits rock bottom. With the help of her new love interest Rafe and her neighbour Lianne, she manages not only to overcome what happened to her, but to also get her own brand of revenge. It's refreshing to see a sexually liberated female character as being strong and independent and having the male love interest admire her for who she is instead of thinking the w
