From Cindy Miles, bestselling new adult author of STUPID GIRL, comes the next installment of her blockbuster Stupid in Love series – STUPID BOY.
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.

Review:
Thank you for the egalley of this book to read and give my honest opinion. In all honesty, I had no idea this was a second book in a series. I read the description and it sounded interesting. So I either didn't catch it was #2 or it didn't say it when I was browsing. However, I found, while I didn't have the full background, I was still able to enjoy the story without having to read the first installment. The reasoning: this story is about another character. I love me some broken characters who need to work on themselves, this story gives that. Miles does a good job fleshing out both Harper and Kane. Making them realistic by giving them true life problems to work with/through. Miles made me interested in knowing where the story went and how it would end up. I found myself invested in Harper and Kane and rooting for them to learn whatever lessons they needed to learn to move forward. Miles had some areas of flatness in the book as well as areas that felt a bit rushed but overall the plot was good and the pacing kept me going. Overall, this author has great promise and I'd pick up other books from her if given the chance.
Cindy Miles is the best-selling author of twelve novels, one anthology and three short stories. She also writes as Elle Jasper, and grew up on the salt marshes of the Vernon River in Savannah, Georgia.
