About this ebook

Good girls stay away from Ryder Briggs . . . or, at least, they try to. In the first emotional novel of heartache and seduction in Renita Pizzitola’s Crush series, one college freshman just can’t get enough.
 
Brinley Dawson doesn’t drink, she studies—and despite the accusations of her alcoholic mother, she’s still a virgin. But if Brinley’s life is so put together, why is she freaking out to be going to college with the gorgeous, green-eyed jerk she kissed on a stupid dare in high school? Ryder Briggs can have any girl he wants . . . and the rumors say that he does. So why, after publicly embarrassing Brinley four years ago, is he suddenly acting like he’s interested?
 
Ryder never forgot Brinley. In fact, those perfect seven minutes permanently raised the bar for what a kiss could be. The truth is, Ryder doesn’t dare get too close to anyone. He knows how that worked out for his parents. But when his roommate takes a shot at Brinley, Ryder can’t contain his jealousy. Now he must do the hardest thing he’s ever done: forget about sex and convince Brinley his feelings are real.
 
Brinley isn’t sure whether she believes Ryder, but for the first time, her body isn’t playing by the rules. Then she discovers that she’s an unwilling part of a cruel game, humiliating her all over again—and Ryder might be to blame. Has Brinley’s little crush turned into a huge mistake . . . or has she found the one guy worth trusting with her heart?

Praise for Just a Little Crush
 
“Brinley and Ryder are the perfect combination of sweet and hot. They’ll have you pulling for second chances.”—USA Today bestselling author Lisa Desrochers
 
“Be prepared to swoon hard over Ryder in Just a Little Crush, Renita Pizzitola’s impressive New Adult debut. Brinley and Ryder are drawn together in an almost hypnotic way and I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by the utterly sexy, sweet, romantic, and scorching moments between them. I loved it!”—Christina Lee, author of the Between Breaths series

“Just a Little Crush is everything I love about New Adult romance. . . . If you’re a fan of college romance, stories where the not-so-popular girl gets the campus king, and characters that are wonderfully normal, flawed, and often funny, this is the book for you.”—Fic Central
 
“A sweet, hot, interesting story that makes you forget everything else.”—Hot Stuff Book Reviews
 
“Steamy . . . The pace was fast, and the premise intriguing. What more could you want in a book? I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who enjoys the New Adult genre or just romance in general.”—Examiner.com

Ratings and reviews

I like the concept but the way the characters and plot line is developed is not mature nor reasonable. This is like Fifty Shades of Grey minus the BDSM. Meaning it's a dull read. Plus the character of Brinley isn't developed. For example she gets her heartbroken by the guy years ago and to this day she claims she isn't over it, yet as soon as they meet again she delves right in. I also personally don't like the whole virgin and Casanova build, plus the cliche of the good girl meets bad boy with a scarring past. It's not original which is why this is a dull read. If a person likes this sort of stuff they'll love it, but I honestly regret buying this, I really wish I could get a refund. This book really soured my mood 😕

Loved it. It's like my fan fiction but better

I was a little curious about the book and it payed off. I lije books about second changes. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.
