*I received an ARC in exchange of an honest review*A high school reunion is about to get down and dirty and a whole lot more complicated in this new erotic romance from NYT Bestselling Author Katee Robert.
Jake Davis had it all in high school—a scholarship to his college of choice, a promising football career, and the gorgeous prom queen for a girlfriend. And then he lost it all when he was injured right after graduation. Ten years later, he’s mostly made his peace with that, and now runs a company that provides women with dates for special events. Imagine his surprise when he discovers that the ex who left him in the dust needs a fake boyfriend for their high school reunion…
Jessica Jackson used to be the mean girl to end all mean girls. But life didn’t turn out like she’d thought it would, and now she’s twenty-eight, single, and works as an insurance agent to A-listers instead of being the A-lister like she’d always dreamed. She can’t go back to her home town and admit just how thoroughly she’s failed, so she lets her friends set her up with a fake date for the reunion.
The second Jessica realizes that her fake date is Jake, she tries to call the whole thing off. The problem is the chemistry between them is even hotter now than it was when they were teenagers. Against her better judgment she lets herself get drawn into Jake’s arms again—and into his bed. But time doesn’t heal all wounds—sometimes, it actually makes them worse—and if Jessica and Jake can’t learn to forgive each other, their second chance might not last the weekend.
Hold while I swoon. Proom Queen is the absolute second chance novella! Jake and Jessica had me tied up in knots and I loved every minute of it.
Jessica was your typical mean girl in highschool, according to her she was even worst so going to her highschool reunion isn't really on top of her list but she's a reformed woman. She's come to terms with her past and has learned to be better so going is about overcome her past and close a chapter, as scary as it can be. When Jake sees that the girl he loved and broke his heart hired his company for a date to the reunion, he jumps to the chance to get revenge.
This is a great story. You get enought glipses of the past to understand what happened between them and how hard it was for both of them I loved seeing how Jessica grew as a person, from a girl who lashed out at the world to someone who was learning to love herself completely. She's a great character who not only is easy to relate, Katee makes you fall a little for her.
Jake is your prince charming, while his intentions aren't so good at first, the chemestry between them and their feelings is still right there and discovering all about Jessica again has him doubting everything.
This is a great novella to read when you want some sweet and sexy book. The story is fast paced but full of feelings and really captures you from beginning to end. I devoured this one and I can't wait to read the rest of the stories to see who else shows up at the reunion.

Excerpt from PROM QUEEN
Copyright © 2017 Katee Robert
Taking a fortifying breath that did nothing to
fortify, she scrolled through her texts to find the number that had shown up
last night. The words were short and to the point.
I’ll pick you up at the airport.
Nothing there to tell what kind of man she’d
ended up with, and she’d been too cowardly to text back anything other than a
generic agreement. Now there was nothing left to stall with. Jessica hitched
her purse higher up on her shoulder and headed through security. The big red
line tiled into the floor was a point of no return in so many ways. Why did I
think this was a good idea?
Her mama didn’t raise a coward, though, so she
lifted her chin and marched forward. No matter who this guy was, she’d faced
down worse. She’d been worse. It couldn’t be more horrifying than the Miss
Texas Teen USA pageant of 2005 where that little brat Misty Brennan cut holes
into her dress and she didn’t realize it until she was out on stage and had her
pink polka dot bra showing to the audience and God. Jessica had powered through
that and walked out with second place, and she’d power through this, too.
She joined the people from multiple flights
crowded around the baggage claim, her body practically vibrating from nerves.
The scent of too many people in too little space assaulted her, but she was
more focused on the faces she didn’t recognize from the plane. Too many, all
filtered in with the travelers—there was no way she’d be able to pick him out
of the crowd. Her date had her picture, so he’d have to be the one to approach.
What if he doesn’t? What if this is just karma giving me one last kick in
the teeth?
Oh, for God’s sake, stop being so dramatic.
“Jessica.”
A thrill shot down her spine, quickly eaten up
by a dread so strong, she wished the ground would open and swallow her whole.
She shot a look at the nearest exit, but if she took off now, she’d have to
admit that she fled instead of turning and facing her Number One Nightmare.
Jake Davis.
Praying she was wrong, she turned slowly to face
him. Nope. That was definitely Jake Davis, ex-quarterback, ex-boyfriend, just
all around ex when it came to Jessica. And he was definitely way better in real
life than he’d been in the pictures she’d seen while she was creeping on him.
Her heart picked up and her body sparked to life in a way it hadn’t in far too
long.
Something like ten years.
She was staring. She couldn’t stop. Jessica
licked her lips, her breath stalling in her lungs when his green eyes met hers.
His eyes had always been one of her favorite features—a true green that
brightened depending on what he was wearing, framed with thick, dark lashes
that had always made her jealous when she was a teenager. Going by those eyes,
Jakes would be judged downright pretty.
At least until you saw the rest of his face. His
hair had darkened over the years, closer to brown than blond, and his lantern
jaw was covered with… “What the hell is that on your face?”
He blinked, the only outward sign that she’d
surprised him.
“Nice to see you too, Jessie.” He touched his
scruff. “A lot’s changed since you left.”
Her gaze jumped to his right shoulder. There was
no outward sign of the injury that had started the end of it all, but then, he
was wearing a light-weight black T-shirt, so it wasn’t like it would show. Focus,
Jessica. “What are you doing here? Are you picking up someone for the
reunion?” There you go. Nice and casual.
“You might say that.” He kept looking at her
like he could see the inside of her head. Another new trick.
She glanced around, trying to be subtle. The
baggage claim had started to clear out, and there weren’t any conveniently
gorgeous men standing around alone. Where was her date? Now would be the
perfect time for him to sweep in and do the job she’d hired him for. “I’m here
with someone.”
“I know.”
She frowned. “What are you talking about?” On
second thought, escaping Jake before she met her date was probably a better
choice. She didn’t want to have to deal with meeting this new guy and trying to
pretend they’d been dating forever. And how was she going to explain how she’d
magically lost him between getting off the plane
and the baggage claim.
Cora’s so-called perfect plan was teetering
toward disaster.
“Your order from Diamond Dates.” He gave her a
slow, knowing grin that she felt all the way to her toes, and offered his hand.
“Jessica Jackson, I’m your date for the reunion.”
About the author
Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it 'a compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
