Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
For Today's Teaser Tuesdays, I've chosen Easy by Tammara Webber (Amazon|GoodReads), though technically I finished it yesterday. It's an excellent New Adult contrary romance, with a good slice of drama. I downloaded the sample on Saturday, and was hooked. After reading just five pages, I had to finish it, and did so in little over a weekend.
Here's the synopsis: A girl who believes trust can be misplaced, promises are made to be
broken, and loyalty is an illusion. A boy who believes truth is
relative, lies can mask unbearable pain, and guilt is eternal. Will what
they find in each other validate their conclusions, or disprove them
all? When Jacqueline follows her longtime boyfriend to the college of
his choice, the last thing she expects is a breakup two months into
sophomore year. After two weeks in shock, she wakes up to her new
reality: she's single, attending a state university instead of a music
conservatory, ignored by her former circle of friends, and failing a
class for the first time in her life. Leaving a party alone, Jacqueline
is assaulted by her ex's frat brother. Rescued by a stranger who seems
to be in the right place at the right time, she wants nothing more than
to forget the attack and that night--but her savior, Lucas, sits on the
back row of her econ class, sketching in a notebook and staring at her.
He works at the coffee shop in the student center. He shows up at a
downtown club, disappearing after several dances that leave her on fire.
Her friends launch Operation Bad Boy Phase, and nominate Lucas to be
the perfect rebound. When the would-be rapist turns stalker, spreading
rumors that they've hooked up, Jacqueline has a choice: crumple in
defeat or learn to fight back. Lucas proves supportive and protective,
but he's hiding secrets of his own. Suddenly appearances are everything,
and knowing who to trust is anything but easy.
And here's the two sentence teaser: “Well, sometimes it seems like we’re flirting. And once, he said Kennedy was a moron.”
If you're thinking of checking it out, or any other book you've had your eye on recently, remember I'm hosting a £15 Amazon Voucher giveaway that ends tomorrow! Don't miss out!

DeleteHi Clare! I have this just waiting for me to read on the Kindle, but I need to pry my girls off of their Kindle to loan it to me.
ReplyDeleteI realize I should break down already and buy my own Kindle, but so far, the girls have been pretty decent about sharing. Every once and a while however, they get clingy. LOL
It's an excellent book, highly recommend it.
DeleteI am lost right now without my tablet (it broke, that teaches me to buy a cheap tablet), and you know how much I support e readers. I'd totally get one for yourself. ;)
Great teaser!
