Book: Pursuing Carrie (Pretending
#3)
By Jenn Hype
Genre: Contemporary Romance
**Can be read as a standalone, but
backstory and character development from the first two books of the
series may make this read more enjoyable.
Carrie is plain, quiet and doesn’t
really give a shit what people think. Her priorities in life have
absolutely nothing to do with dating or relationships. Quite the
opposite, in fact, seeing as how a relationship is the absolute last
thing she wants. Ever.
Joe is charming and charismatic, but
the only thing he’s ever worked hard at in his adult life is his
job. Outside of being a cop, he’s only interested in things that
come easily, and that includes women. He gives the women he sleeps
with respect, affection, and mind blowing orgasms - but that’s all
he gives.
After being brought together by a
mutual friend, Stacy, Joe and Carrie don’t exactly hit it off. They
are the exact opposite of what the other looks for in a lover, yet
they can’t fight the growing attraction that blossoms between them.
Under the pretense of wanting to be
friends for the sake of Stacy, Joe sets out to win Carrie over, but
his normal charms don’t work on her. And the more he tries to win
her friendship, the more he realizes that friendship is not at all
what he really wants.
Carrie’s willpower is strong, but
it’s no match for Joe’s persistence, and despite her reluctance,
Carrie finds herself falling for Joe in a way that she’s sure will
cause irreparable damage in the end. Because nothing good ever comes
out of hooking up with someone you care about, and why should this
time be the exception?
Tainted pasts, crazy ex-lovers and
flying dildos notwithstanding, Carrie and Joe find themselves
venturing into unknown territory. It’s not easy, but it’s hot as
hell, and luckily they are both too stubborn to give up easily on
something that feels a lot more real than a short fling.

What's up world - I'm Jenn Hype.
Author, mother, wife,
singer/songwriter, aspiring comedian - I wear many hats. Some of them
fit, some of them look ridiculous, and all of them are fun. Life's
too short to take anything too seriously, so I don't.
Sarcasm is my go-to, especially when
it's most inappropriate. Need someone to make an uncomfortable
situation even more awkward? I'm the girl for the job.
I'm ridiculously A.D.D. and I own it. I
have a serious addiction to ecards and the majority of my Pinterest
account is dedicated to them. The key to my heart is glitter and
caffeine - my needs are basic.
I'm a bookaholic and I crush hard on my
book boyfriends and their authors. Some might call me obsessive, but
I disagree. That word really doesn't do justice to how crazy I get
when it comes to something I'm passionate about. I'm not afraid to go
fangirl on you, so don't test me.
Anything else you want to know, feel
free to ask. I'm an open book, and I love to hear from readers.

3 years after graduating college,
Adalyn still isn’t sure what to do with her life. After a traumatic
event in college throws her life off course, she bounces between jobs
and men aimlessly until deciding to move from her small town in Ohio
to live with her college roommate, Stacy, in New York.
Being closed off and sarcastic has
helped Adalyn cope with her past, but when Ian, Stacy’s sexy and
successful friend, comes into the picture, her carefully constructed
defense mechanisms start to fail.
Determined not to let Ian get under her
skin, Adalyn fights hard to appear unaffected by Ian’s charm and
devastating good looks. Undeterred and unconvinced by Adalyn’s
attempts to feign indifference to him, Ian continues to push Adalyn
out of her comfort zone, unwilling to give in to her efforts to push
him away.
Slowly, Ian starts to break through to
the core of who Adalyn really is, but both of their pasts threaten to
destroy any semblance of a relationship that could ever exist between
the two of them.

Stacy’s no stranger to trouble,
considering that’s where her smart ass remarks usually land
her...in trouble. A drunken night out with her best friend Adalyn
lands her in jail. Not that she’d done anything wrong, except for
hit on the incredibly sexy cop who showed up to take a report from
Adalyn who’d had her purse stolen. Chad, a no-nonsense officer who
takes himself and his job very seriously, has no patience for Stacy’s
shenanigans and over the top flirting. So he hauls her to jail to
teach her a lesson, but didn’t expect it to cause Stacy to become a
regular fixture in his life. Stacy ends up befriending Chad’s
partner, Joe, who keeps her company after Chad dumps her in a holding
cell for the night. Joe and Stacy hit it off right away, resulting in
Stacy always being around, no matter how much Chad tries to avoid
her. The constant bickering and sarcastic insults only heighten the
sexual tension between Chad and Stacy, and Chad’s ability to
control his emotions and actions becomes increasingly difficult. A
low scale war is declared between them, but their actions continue to
both hurt each other while simultaneously pulling them together. When
the fighting leads to literal bloodshed, they begin to wonder if they
both should surrender before the war destroys them both.
