Stupid In Love Series – Book 3

By Cindy Miles

1a908-goodreads

Synopsis

Bestselling new adult author Cindy Miles is set to capture the hearts of STUPID GIRL fans again with the grand finale of the Stupid in Love series, featuring Memory and Jace.

MEMORY

Casualties.

That’s how I refer to the guys who’ve had the bad fortune to fall for me. They only see long legs that they wish were wrapped around them, a cat-like smile, and the reckless abandon to take on any wild dare. It’s all a game to me. Show me a bridge, and I’ll leap over the side. Give me a car, and I’ll race it. Give me a heart, and I’ll break it. I always win. I even showed Death who was boss a long time ago.

Or so I thought.

Now, time is running out, and I’m losing fast…and big. I met someone. Jace Beaumont. He’s smart, and good, and I dream about spending days exploring the summit of his perfect lips. But, I’m a grenade. I know I should leave him be. I can’t.

JACE

Study, class, work, repeat. That’s all I have time for. At twenty-five years old, I have a bit more mileage on me than the average college freshman. But, that’s what happens when you spend your youth drinking, partying, and bagging girls like it’s a full-time job. Now, I have goals. There’s just one kink in my plans. Her name is Memory. She’s every guy’s dream girl. She’s intoxicating. She’s trouble. I want to stay away. I can’t.

Michel’s Review

Stupid Love by Cindy Miles is the third book in the outstanding New Adult series, Stupid In Love.  This book once again revisits the crew at Winston University and introduces the readers to a new group of college friends.  In Stupid Love, the old cast of characters will make appearances throughout the book.  It’s like homecoming in a more mature setting.

Memory Thibodeaux is the campus wild girl.  She’s known for her daring antics, carefree spirit, and party girl reputation.  She dates frequently but never settles with one guy.  She is the equivalent of a player without being a whore.  Her mantra is to live life to the fullest every day.  She has this mantra for good reason.  She has flirted with death in her early years and won the round.  She knows death can come knocking at any time without an invitation or reason.  She is determined to experience everything life has to offer before death chases her down once again.  She’s not so sure she win the next round.

When she meets the sexy tow truck driver one late night after a round of wild partying, things begin to look differently.  She has finally met a guy that sparks her interest on every level.  As she gets to know Jace Beaumont (Olivia Beaumont’s older brother from book one), she wants more than fun and games.  She wants that forever kind of love.

Jace Beaumont is older than most of the students at Winston University.  He spent his early adult years living loose and carefree.  His partying days are over.  It’s time to buckle down and get serious about his life.  He doesn’t have time for wild parties and college fun. When he meets Memory Thibodeaux, he knows she is not the girl for him.  He doesn’t need her kind of wildness in his life.  The more he tries to avoid her, the more persistent she becomes.  When he finally lets his guard down she is going to take his heart by storm.  He is falling head over heels in love.

Jace and Memory find that once in a lifetime kind of love.  It’s everything that both of them never thought they needed.  They couldn’t be happier but… Memory has a demon chasing her.  Jace can’t be the knight in shining armor to save her.  Death has come knocking at the door once again.  It’s up to them how they live their lives.  They will love to the fullest and live every moment like it is the last.

Cindy Miles wrote a powerful emotional story.  I laughed and cried.  I could not put this book down.

I highly recommend Stupid Love by Cindy Miles.  It can be read as a stand alone novel and does not have to be read in series order.

The Stupid In Love Series

stupid girlStupid Girl – Book 1

Only fools fall in love…

After her senior year of high school leaves behind nothing but heartache, Olivia Beaumont is sure of this: She’s no stupid girl. She sets out for Winston University, promising herself that she will remain focused on her first and only love – astronomy. But all it takes is cocky sophomore Brax Jenkins and an accidental collision with a football, to throw her entire year off course.

A quick-tempered Southie who escaped the inner city streets of Boston to pitch for Winston, Brax is known to play way more fields than just the baseball diamond. So, when his name is drawn to take part in his fraternity’s hazing dare, Brax eagerly accepts the mission to take Olivia’s virginity. But he doesn’t plan on falling hard for the sweet and sassy Texas girl who sees right through his bad-boy persona.

As Olivia and Brax battle their feelings for each other, echoes of the past year begin to surface. A boy who once turned Olivia’s whole world upside down reappears, and “harmless” pranks wreak havoc. Pretty soon the aspiring astronomer is on the verge of revealing her most difficult, heartbreaking secret. All the while, Brax must wrestle with the irrevocable dare, and Olivia struggles against all logic as she does the one thing only a stupid girl would do: fall in love.

Stupid BoyStupid Boy – Book 2

Brax Jenkins and Olivia Beaumont are the most envied couple at Winston University—but the so-called “virginity dare,” orchestrated by Brax’s old fraternity, almost tore them apart. Now, a new dare is taking shape, and it’s sure to set emotions ablaze—more than ever before.

Winston’s “It Girl” Harper Belle isn’t just president of the Deltas—she’s also a master at keeping her ugly past a secret. So, when the Kappas’ dare hits closer to home for her more than anyone realizes, she devises a competition of her own as payback. Three sorority sisters will seek out a notorious womanizer on campus and—unbeknownst their “mark”—secretly train him to be the perfect boyfriend. Always up for a challenge, Harper targets the biggest player she can find: Brax’s wickedly handsome foster brother Kane McCarthy.

But, Harper discovers there’s much more to Kane than girls, games, and partying. His easy smile belies the quiet, old soul reflected in his deep brown eyes. All it takes is one night, one secret laid bare, and one kiss from Kane to shift Harper’s world on its axis. Suddenly, the girl who’s always walked a straight and narrow path can’t think of anything else except losing control.

Michel’s Review

*** Arc provided by publisher, via Net Galley, for a fair and honest review. ***

When I saw Stupid Boy by Cindy Miles on Net Galley, I had to request a copy for review.  I have read all of Cindy Miles paranormal books and absolutely loved them.  I was intrigued to see that she had released some books in the New Adult genre.  And once again she delivered a fantastic book with solid emotional writing.

Harper Belle is the perfect girl.  She makes good grades, she is in one of the most prestigious sorority, her appearance is perfect, and her behavior is perfect.  She was appalled by the rush stunt the Kappa’s pulled the previous year.  She has devised a full proof plan for her sorority to put the Kappa’s in their place and make them model students.  She and her sorority sisters are going to make these bad boy frat boys into the perfect boyfriends and model students.  They are going to prove that with positive reinforcement that even the baddest of bad boys can be reformed.  Her plan is not going to hurt anyone, it is going to make the Kappa’s better men.

Like most plans go, they have hiccups and fall off track.  When she meets Brax Jenkins best friend from Boston, bad boy Kane McCarthy, she has found the perfect bad boy.  He has come to Texas to “run the numbers”.  He’s good at what he does and makes no apology for it.  He is the perfect candidate for Harper to reform.

Appearances aren’t everything.  Harper soon finds out that there is more to Kane than meets the eye.  He is a smart, intelligent, and caring person.  Somehow he looks beneath Harper’s perfect facade and sees a kindred spirit.  He recognizes a wounded soul.  He sees the beauty she has hid behind the perfection.

Both Kane and Harper will learn there are many sides to a person.  There is a fine line between good and bad, right and wrong, and everything in between.  What is important is to be honest with oneself.  Also to give with a pure heart.

Stupid Boy was a very emotional book.  Both Harper and Kane have survived horrific childhoods.  Their coping mechanisms may be different but in the end they both need the same thing.  They both need unconditional love.

Cindy Miles did an excellent job.  I enjoyed Stupid Boy so much that I had to download the first book in the series, Stupid Girl.  Let me tell you, Stupid Girl was another fantastic book.  Each book in the series can be read as a stand alone romance or in series order.

I highly recommend the Stupid In Love series!
