Friend Zoned is the second stand alone novel in the Barnett Bulldogs Series. Sam Harper, left tackle for the Barnett Bulldogs, is my best friend. My cock blocking best friend. I swear that man has a sixth sense when it comes to me getting laid. It's completely frustrating how I can be right on the verge of sealing the deal when Sam appears out of nowhere and suddenly my entire night is going up in a big ball of sexually frustrated flames. I think the guy seriously enjoys messing with me. I really do. Otherwise why would he take such perverse pleasure in doing it? Exactly. I'm thinking that he needs a girlfriend. Someone to preoccupy him. Then maybe he'd stop trying to get in my way all the damn time. I really hate to admit this, but... I'm starting to notice things about Sam that I should definitely not be noticing. Like those piercing blue eyes of his that pin me right in place. Or his short blond hair that I just want to drag my fingers through. And the way soft cottony t-shirts cling to his big broad shoulders. Not to mention those killer abs that I sometimes catch a fleeting glimpse of when he stretches that huge muscular body of his next to me in class. Yup, the man is certainly buff. No question about it. But I guess that's what you get when you've been playing division I football for the past four years. And when his knee accidentally bumps mine in the judicial process class we share, it's all I can do to keep focused on whatever fresh hell Dr. Rickets is tormenting us with that day. The feelings that have sprung up within me are definitely starting to freak me out. What I really need is for everything between us to slide right back to the way it's always been. We're friends. Best friends. We have eight solid years of friendship behind us. That's not something I'm willing to throw away on a bit of sexual attraction that will eventually fizzle out. And with my track record, it'll be sooner rather than later that it happens. I've seriously had milk sitting in my fridge that lasts longer than some of my pseudo-relationships. We have seven months left until graduation. Until we're both moving on with our lives. I'm hoping to get in here at Barnett for law school but Sam will end up going somewhere else- Cornell or Columbia. Next to my grandparents, Sam is the only other person I can count on. That I trust implicitly. And that's just not something you mess with. No matter how tempted you might be. This is a New Adult novel meant for people 18 years or older. This book contains language and sexual situations ** Views: 31
My name is Claire Knox. People say I’m the female version of a player: a boyslayer, if you’re fluent in urban dictionary speak. I hate long term relationships. I’ll never commit to sticking around long enough to get attached to the notion of love, marriage, or the proverbial two point five kids. No sirree Not this girl. There’s no way I’ll let myself get hurt by losing someone I love ever again. Been there, felt that. Consider me damaged goods if you will, but I'm happy. Or so I thought, until my path crossed his again… Note: One Last Shot can be read as a standalone within the Pub Fiction series. Each book however is interconnected, if you would like to get to know the previous couples mentioned in this book, I recommending reading book 1 My Mind's Eye and book 2 On the Rocks first.** Views: 31

In The Mafia Cookbook, Joe Dogs took the quintessential Mob formula -- murder, betrayal, food -- and turned it into a bestseller, not surprisingly, since Joe Dogs's mixture of authentic Italian recipes and colorful Mafia anecdotes is as much fun to read as it is to cook from.Now The Mafia Cookbook is reprinted with Cooking on the Lam -- adding thirty-seven original new recipes and a thrilling account of Dogs's recent years since he testified against the Mob in five major trials, all told in his authentic, inimitable tough-guy style.The new recipes are simple, quick, and completely foolproof, including such classic dishes as Shrimp Scampi, Tomato Sauce (the Mob mainstay), Chicken Cordon Bleu, Veal Piccata, Marinated Asparagus Wrapped with Prosciutto, Baked Stuffed Clams, Veal Chops Milanese, Sicilian (what else?) Caponata, Gambino-style Fried Chicken, Lobster Thermidor (for when you want to celebrate that big score), and desserts rich enough to melt a lo... Views: 31
