-Descripcion Original:

A steamy contemporary YA romance by New York Times best-selling author Sophie Jordan about a girl with a bad reputation giving lessons on how to attract guys for some extra cash-only to fall for her client’s golden-boy brother. For fans of Kami Garcia, Katie McGarry, and Netflix’s Sex Education. Wild, beautiful, and (as rumor has it) experienced, Hayden Vargas doesn’t have time for love or relationships. She’s learned the hard way that the only person you can count on is yourself, and she’s hell-bent on earning enough money to leave her small, judgy Texas town as fast as possible. So when nerdy Emmaline Martin offers to pay Hayden for lessons in seduction, the money is so easy, there must be a catch. Enter the catch: Emmaline’s older brother, popular, all-around nice guy™ Nolan Martin, who doesn’t want his sister’s reputation tarnished by the school’s resident bad girl. But Hayden should know that looks can be deceiving. Nolan may seem like a golden boy, but like Hayden, he has a few secrets of his own. And the more he meddles in her lessons with Emmaline, the more these polar opposites clash-and the more sparks fly. Turns out Nolan may have some lessons to teach Hayden, but only if she’s willing to learn. Review Jordan’s handling of themes surrounding teen relationships...is honest....A steamy, straight-to-Netflix teen romance. - Kirkus The sex positivity is welcome, while the rotating ensemble narration buoys the stock characters and prevents the story from falling into a not-like-other-girls trap. A steamy pick for fans of the slow burn. -Booklist [R]eaders will be eager to find out more. - School Library Journal About the Author Sophie Jordan grew up in the Texas hill country where she wove fantasies of dragons, warriors, and princesses.

It was a big gathering, spilling out onto the front yard and into the cul-de-sac. The number of people on the lawn wouldnt even fit crammed inside her small house. Big parties likes this usually got shut down because someone called the police. It would be a shame if that happened. Her hair and makeup were on point tonight. If she went home early, it was a lot of effort for nothing. Hayden stood on the sidewalk contemplating whether it was worth going inside, watching as girls stood shivering in their skirts and strappy tops. It was January and forty-five degrees, but hypothermia clearly didnt worry them. High school parties (and parties in general) werent usually her thing, but Dorian had begged her to come. Dorian was a guy in her health class. Coach Alvarez teamed up students for a lot of the assignments and Dorian had appointed himself her partner in all things. Theyd made out a couple times in the east stairwell. He was cute and linebacker big, even though he played tennis. Good hair. Long on the top. High and tight on the sides. He smelled nice. Hayden appreciated a well-groomed guy who smelled of deodorant and mint toothpaste. This week he had brought her a brownie. A brownie wrapped in foil. His mom made them. Dorian had a mom who baked brownies. God. As if that didnt scream they were from two different worlds. But Dorian was cute and into her, so hooking up was pretty inevitable
