Blurb:
I’m not scripting my life anymore.
I’m living it.
I’m done with the God of all Hotties.
I’m going to give my heart to the boy who I think deserves it.
The boy whose kisses are hotter than molten lava.
The boy who offered me the key to his heart.
The boy who asked me to Homecoming in a big, sexy way.
There are so many things to look forward to.
Parties at the Cave. Homecoming festivities. Drama Tryouts. Shopping trips to NY.
But things aren’t always as perfect as they seem.
I find out that my best friend has been keeping a secret from me.
Not that I can blame him.
I have secrets too.
But, for now, I’m going to pretend I’m just a normal girl.
I’m going to pretend he’s not still out there.
I’m going to pretend he’s not getting desperate.
I’m going to pretend I’ll never see him again.
But, I will.
Excerpt:
After dinner, he parks his car down by the field house and leads me out onto the big green commons ground, where we played football and he kissed me in the grass.
My heels are sinking into the damp grass and I'm worrying about ruining the suede when he says, “This is where I first laid eyes on you."
“No, it’s not. We met at dinner, when you said Riley was a cheap imitation of the real thing.”
He scrunches up his nose. Kisses me. "You tease me about the worse kiss ever, but you're lucky I even talked to you. You were so mean.”
I laugh. “You were a jerk and, besides, I apologized.”
“Still, this is where I first saw you. When you stole the soccer ball from me.”
I remember that day so vividly. Like it was a scene out of a movie. I felt free and fearless. I could’ve never done something like that at my old school.
I glance over at the goal. The spot where I first saw Aiden.
I can still feel that instant connection.
But I’ve learned that instant connections aren’t enough. Sparks aren’t enough.
My mom always says that life is about the choices you make. And I know that I’ve made the right choice. The smart decision.
Because I’m here with Dawson.
“You didn’t have a shirt on that day. I thought you were gorgeous."
"I thought you were crazy." He laughs and grabs a piece of my hair, twirling it lightly on his finger. "Crazy, but hot. So, Keatie, will you be my girlfriend?" His big brown eyes glitter in the moonlight.
Our relationship has been all backwards. Bad first impressions. Bad manners. Bad kisses. Sex way too soon. My supposed rebound could have gone horribly wrong in so many ways.
But it hasn't. It's been better than I could have scripted.
"I'd love to be your girlfriend, Dawson."
He undoes the necklace. I turn around and lift my hair up, while he clasps the key to his heart around my neck.
Of course, once he has it clasped he attacks my neck with his mouth.

Gossip Girl meets Hollywood in this steamy new series.
I've always written scripts for my perfect life.
But no way could I have ever scripted this.
My life is so far from perfect, it's not even funny.
All because of a stalker.
I'm at a boarding school, where I have to lie about who I am.
I can't see my family.
I'm tutoring a hottie god that tortures me with his smile.
The most popular girl already hates me.
But there's this boy.
This hot, sweet, sexy boy.
So I'm going to stop trying to script my life and just live it.
Because who knows how long I have left.
REVIEW:
HELLLOOO BOARDING SCHOOL!!! Ummm, I gotta say if the hotties at my school were like this I think I would still be there. :) This is the second installment of Keatyn's chronicles and I am just as hooked as with the first one.
Keatyn has escaped the clutches of Vincent and is in hiding at a boarding school. She can't see or talk to any of her friends and is told that she may never be able to return to her former life. Now, I have to be honest for a few minutes of this book, I thought she was turning into a bit of a slut. She is kissing boys left and right. Then it dawned on me that I was reading the life of a seventeen year old and that is what we all have done at one point or another. Aiden, or the God of all Hotties, blows hot and cold but I think there is a lot more to this young man than we read about in this story and I can't wait to see where Jillian takes him. Dawson is your sexy player turned hot boyfriend but I just have a feeling he is a rebound guy.
Keatyn gets smart and makes friends first with boys. I have to say that some of my bestest friends in the world at that age were boys. They are so much more fun than girls! I think there is a lot of potential for friendship with Peyton but that is down the road. We shall see. :)
I freaked out when she went to see Brooklyn and well, I think you should read it understand why I was tripping at 3 a.m.!
I can't wait for more from this awesome author!

Gossip Girl meets Hollywood in this steamy new series by That Boy author, Jillian Dodd.
Keatyn has everything she ever dreamed. Her life is following the script she wrote for the perfect high school experience. She's popular, goes to the best parties, dates the hottest guy, and sits at the most-coveted lunch table.
She's just not sure she wants it anymore.
Because, really, things aren't all that perfect.
Her best friend is threatening to tell everyone her perfect relationship is a scam.
Her perfect boyfriend gets drunk at every party they go to.
It's exhausting always trying to look and act perfect.
And, deep down, she isn't sure if she has any true friends.
To add to the drama, her movie star mom has a creepy stalker.
A hot, older man flirts with her and tells her they should make a movie together.
And she's crushing on an adorable surfer. Dating him would mean committing social suicide.
So she writes a new script. One where all the pieces of her life will come together in perfect harmony.
But little does she know, there's someone who will do anything to make sure that doesn't happen.
REVIEW:
Everyone that follows along enjoys books, right? Sometimes I get so busy with the blog and tours that I forget what it is like to get lost in a book. I don't sleep much as it is but it has been awhile since I have enjoyed a book so much that I read the second one the same night and did without sleep.
This book is fun with a capital F! Keatyn is a simple yet complex character that I found myself rooting for the entire book. I know how hard it is to be a teenager but to be one with her parents and friends, well let's just say I am impressed with how normal she is.
Her life is a fairytale that is for sure! She is part of the golden couple at school. She has been with her boyfriend for over a year and she is read to take the next step but he isn't. She is best friends with a hot and sexy lead singer, who is getting ready to go on tour and a soul deep surfer who rocks her world. Throw in a hottie party guy that is crushing on her, vindictive bitchy best friends, and movie-star hotness for parents and this girl owns it!
When a sexy older man befriends her and begins to draw her in, she decides she wants to follow in her mom's footsteps. However, things are not always what they seem and the most delicious package can be deadly. Sometimes, you just can't escape fate.
Check it out, kittens and let me know if you are as into the world of Keatyn as I am!
