“A totally enjoyable, cute, and fast read.” — TeensReadToo.com 5-star review
A perfect blend of wit, comedy, suspense, and, of course, romance.
This is NOT your typical romance novel.
Sarah Howard’s first year at the university is everything and nothing she expected — especially when a very cute boy named Ben in her Art History class starts to show interest in her.
Yes, this is a girl-meets-boy story, but the boy is totally hot while the girl is, at best, average. (Except for my wild, Medusa-curls. Ugh.) And yes, there is a misunderstanding, and a villainous outlaw, and a timely confession of love . . . well, okay, fine. It's totally a romance novel. But please note, there is no scantily-clad woman on the cover wilting into the arms of a muscular pirate; I'm not that kind of girl.
I'm a normal, everyday girl. And I can't understand why Ben — who is hot as a Greek god — wants to be my friend. Is it because we both play the guitar? Like the same flavors of ice cream? Laugh at the same jokes? Or does he want to hang around strictly so I'll help him with his homework? I hope not because I've been there, done that, and gotten burned. Not interested, thanks.
But I am interested in Ben. He's a real gentleman — a true romance novel here. (It's like Mr. Darcy signed up for my art history class.) Is it possible that this is the real thing? Or have my ridiculous, romantic obsessions gotten the best of me — again?

My Ridiculous Romantic Obsessions is a fun light-hearted, completely clean YA read. I found myself laughing out loud and smiling through most of the story.
Sarah is a college freshman dropped off by her completely self-absorbed neglectful parents to an apartment for her first experience living away from home. Roommate one is missing a face because it is constantly stuck to her boyfriend and roommate two does not talk. Good thing there's her art history class...the reason she came to school in the first place. Best friend Chel forwarded her phone pics of the perfect TA last year and Sarah is convinced he could surely be her story book hero. So when Ben, aka Adonis, starts to show interest Sarah is confused. Surely things couldn't be as they seem. Is he or isn't he flirting?
The main heroine has flawed self-esteem and can't seen to see what is right in front of her face, which I found funny up until the very last chapters, then it got to be a bit much. She is…
