About this ebook
From Cindy Miles, bestselling new adult author of STUPID GIRL, comes the next installment of her addictive Stupid in Love series – STUPID BOY.
"Stupid Boy by Cindy Miles is everything I love about a new adult romance-- angsty, emotional and sexy. I couldn't stop reading!"
- NYT and USA Today bestselling author Lauren Hawkeye
Brax Jenkins and Olivia Beaumont are the most envied couple at Winston University—but the so-called “virginity dare,” orchestrated by Brax’s old fraternity, almost tore them apart. Now, a new dare is taking shape, and it’s sure to set emotions ablaze—more than ever before.
Winston’s “It Girl” Harper Belle isn’t just president of the Deltas—she’s also a master at keeping her ugly past a secret. So, when the Kappas’ dare hits closer to home for her more than anyone realizes, she devises a competition of her own as payback. Three sorority sisters will seek out a notorious womanizer on campus and—unbeknownst their “mark”—secretly train him to be the perfect boyfriend. Always up for a challenge, Harper targets the biggest player she can find: Brax’s wickedly handsome foster brother Kane McCarthy.
But, Harper discovers there’s much more to Kane than girls, games, and partying. His easy smile belies the quiet, old soul reflected in his deep brown eyes. All it takes is one night, one secret laid bare, and one kiss from Kane to shift Harper’s world on its axis. Suddenly, the girl who’s always walked a straight and narrow path can’t think of anything else except losing control.
"A raw, beautiful, poignant story about pain, heartache and first love. I couldn’t put it down.”
- Carly Phillips, NYT bestselling author, on STUPID GIRL

This is the first book I've read by Cindy Miles -- yes, I started series at the second book *hangs head in shame*. I was thrilled to realize that this book is perfectly fine as a stand alone. While there are some areas that relate back to the first book, I was comfortable that I didn't need to read it first to understand things. Olivia & Brax (Book 1) play a large enough part of the book that as a series lover (had I read book 1 first like I should have) I would have been satisfied with being able to continue their story. But this story is about Kane & Harper. So let's get down to it: Harper : She is a smart level headed 'rich girl' who is president of her sorority. She appears to have it all - a nice car, money, brains. No one knows that this is all a facade and beneath it she is nothing but secrets and lies. A broken little girl who has never recovered from her parents brutal murder years ago. Kane : He is our smoking hot bad boy who comes into town to run numbers in the frat house. He appears to be everything Harper needs in her quest to 'fix' a bad boy. Underneath it all is the broken little boy who lived a hard life bouncing between foster homes. While

I sort of expected the dare to be a main component of the story, but aside from initially bringing Harper and Kane together and later causing a rift, there was a lot more to the book than Greek life mischief. Harper was so closed off from everything and everyone that she didn’t win me over very quickly, but given her background, her behavior made sense. She wasn’t living; she was existing in survival mode, and it took someone who had an equally terrible past to bring her to life. The distancing she did made the chemistry between her and Kane feel a bit rushed, but I think I just loved Kane enough to buy into it. And fortunately, the angst wasn’t pushed too far toward the end; I think they’d both been through enough of that already, so the ways they reached out to each other even when it seemed things might be over were really great to read. All in all, Stupid Boy is a really sweet love story, and while it can most definitely be read as a standalone, I would suggest reading Stupid Girl first, if for nothing else than to fall in love with Olivia and Brax. ***FicCentral received this book from Xpresso Book Tours for free in exchange for an honest review.

Excellent read! This is a sequel to Stupid Girl. While it can be read standalone you'll really understand all the characters more if you read both books. Kane McCarthy is new on campus but his bad boy persona grabs the interest of Harper Belle, Winston's perfect girl. What they both want is to keep their ugly pasts firmly in the past. What they need is each other. This is an excellent story and the characters are incredibly intriguing. I definitely recommend this one.
