Schooled by Piper Lawson
New Adult Contemporary
Romance
Expected Release: June 1,
2015
Twenty-one year old Alexis Caine is so close to her dream she can taste it. And it tastes like validation and Häagen-Dazs.
In a few months she'll graduate with a shiny new business degree and launch a fashion label with her best friend Ava. All the planning, the dedication, and the saying ‘no’ to everything—and everyone—will have been worth it.
Then Dylan Cameron, Ava’s tall, dark and broody younger brother, returns from the East coast. Lex has hardly seen him in years and given his reputation for partying, girls, and worse, that’s just fine with her.
But suddenly Dylan’s all grown up. And a dangerous night of unplanned confessions for both of them threatens to tear Lex's carefully constructed world off its axis.
Because one sassy control freak plus one prodigal son equals chemistry that refuses to be ignored.

Alexis Caine defined the word determined. She made
her dream and is doing everything she can to achieve it. She’s almost there.
She and Ava, her best friend and partner on their soon to be business didn’t
need any distractions, most especially boys.
Soon, she’d graduate with a business degree and is about
to launch a fashion label, Travesty with the artistic Ava. The label was their
blood and sweat, and everything should be perfect. Failure is not an option.
Then here comes the distraction came strutting in, all
grown up. Dylan Cameron, Ava’s problematic brother returning from the East
Coast. They haven’t seen each other for quite sometime, imagine her surprise
seeing him all grown up and filled in the right places. His reputation precedes
him, although, he might not be the boy she thinks he is. There is more to Dylan
that what she perceived him to be. And it can be very, very dangerous.
The two year gap didn’t bother me. I like Dylan, he was a
big surprise to me – there were times you want to love him, and there were
times you’d like to strangle him for some things he did. And yet, he knows how
to work his way back into your hearts. Talk about subtle grand gestures.
I love their honest talks, the clash of their
personalities: since our girl here is pretty much and determined control freak
and he was the grounded one. He was mature enough to handle her or so he
thinks. They have chemistry, and although Lex tried to fight it at first, but
it was too powerful to ignore.
I think it was Alexis’ sheer determination and
perseverance that made her successful at what she does. She might got
side-tracked, she fell in love along the way – all those pain and heartbreaks
were worth it because in the end, she got her forever.
Schooled is my first Piper Lawson book, and I enjoyed
reading it. It’s a great way to start the series. I’m looking forward for Ava’s
turn for her happy ending.
Schooled is Piper Lawson’s debut novel. Piper
loves reading and writing stories about sassy, sexy, smart women and the guys
who fall hard for them.
Piper’s main
household expenditures include books, shoes, and chocolate, not necessarily in
that order. Coffee = life (and she’ll defend it accordingly, especially when
cornered). Piper has two business degrees, neither of which she’s leveraged
into a fashion label.
Home
is Canada plus occasional sunny winter escapes.
