You’d Better Watch Yourself, Katie Kat

Katie Archer knows how to lie. After six years, no one really knows what happened That Night. Not even her twin sister. Choosing a college 3,000 miles away from the truth, Katie throws herself into art classes and a love affair with ice cream. Katie’s biggest rule? No boys. Ever.

But there is the little problem of Lucas Matthews. Former basketball star and total campus hottie, Lucas is the stuff girls have naughty dreams about—and he has the reputation to prove it! But that doesn’t stop liquid heat from running through Katie’s veins every time she sees him…

You’ll Never Get Away With It

Letting Lucas in is the hardest thing Katie’s ever had to do. And telling him the truth? Impossible. Then Katie starts to get threatening texts and she realizes Lucas is the least of her problems. Her past has caught up with her and it wants to settle the score.

I’m Coming For You

Now Katie must decide whether she wants to fight for her life, or leave everything—including Lucas—behind her forever...

Put Me Back Together by Lola Rooney is a story about survival and coping. Katie has a lot on her shoulders. The guilt she lives with is crippling. I don't know how she's made it as long as she has without truly falling apart. Lucas comes into her life just when she needs someone most. He needs her too. Katie has secrets though. Secrets not even her twin sister knows. As a reader, we get bits and pieces of what happened, and it's not until closer to the end that we are given the whole story. I spent the majority of the book trying to guess, which made time fly while reading the book. It really kept me engaged. Put Me Back Together was so much more than I expected and a perfect mix of suspense and romance. This is a fantastic debut novel from a talented new author. I look forward to more from her!

I'm Lola Rooney, romance writer and part-time hula hooper. For a long time I was a lonely girl who didn't believe in love. Now I like to write about lonely girls and the boys who make them believe in love. I enjoy cupcakes, dimples, hula hoops (obviously), writing in my tree house and flirting with sexy men (who have dimples).

When I'm not yachting the Mediterranean I call Montreal home.
