Review of Night School by C.J. Daugherty 


To tempt you I'm adding in a scene that anyone could just gush over.Mind you I typed it all out cause, well, duh.




Say hello to male leads Sylvain and Carter (had to omit some  things to keep the story a secret):




... "Now we shall enjoy the croquet."

"Yay," she replied weakly. "Croquet."

As they walked back around the corner, she could see that everyone had been waiting for them, including Carter, His eyes told her that he knew exactly what they'd been doing.

"Allie! Sylvain." His tone was mocking. "This is great. What have you been up to?"

Surprised by his aggression, Allie flushed with anger.

...

Sylvain pulled her closer. "Unfortunately, Carter, our teams are set already. We do not need  another player."

"I didn't come to play." Carter put emphasis on the last word.

...

He turned from Sylvain to her.

Allie felt as if a cool breeze had chilled her skin. "I... I'm fine, Carter. Thanks."

She faltered under his gaze, which seemed to challenge her. As if she'd done something bad, disappointed him in some way.

"That's great. You do seem much recovered." His words dripped sarcasm. "Did you hurt your lips, too? Or is it from something else?"

Allie's hand flew up to cover her mouth as Sylvain took several steps forward.

"Why are you still here, Carter?" he asked icily.

Carter stared at him, unflinching. "I just wanted to see if what I suspected was true."

"Seen all you need to see?" Sylvain's voice was low and menacing.

"Hey, everybody," Ruth stepped between them. "Come on. Stay calm. Let's not get into something here."

Carter ignored her. "Oh, I've seen enough, Sylvain."

With a sigh, Ruth stepped out of the way. They were now standing no more than a foot apart, glaring at each other.
