Happy Release Day! Giveaway: How to Seduce a Band Geek (How To #2) by Cassie Mae

Description:

Sierra Livingston’s got it bad for her sister’s best friend, Levi Mason—the boy who carries his drumsticks in his pocket, marches with the school’s band, and taps his feet to whatever beat runs through his head. Sierra racks her brain for ways to impress the sexy drummer, but the short skirts and bursting cleavage don’t seem to cut it.

When Sierra gets paired with Levi’s sister, Brea, for a mentorship program, they strike a deal. In exchange for Sierra keeping her mouth shut about Brea ditching the program, Brea lets Sierra dig for more info on Levi to help get the guy of her dreams.

But when Sierra discovers Levi no longer plays the drums, his family has moved into a trailer, and he’s traded in his Range Rover for a baby blue moped, Sierra’s not sure if she can go through with violating his privacy. She’ll have to find the courage to ask him straight out—if he’s willing to let her in—and explore other ways to seduce the school’s band geek.

Zoe has a great pair of legs, perky boobs, and wears exactly what she needs to show it all off. She works hard for the easy sleazy ‘you only wish you were me’ reputation, burying who she really is—an all-out nerd.

The only time Zoe gets to be herself is when she hides under her comforter to read X-Men comics, sending jealousy stabs at everyone who attends Comic-Con. Keeping up her popular rep is too important, and she’s so damn insecure to care about the consequences. But when Zoe’s sister takes her car for a ‘crash and burn into a tree’ joyride, her parents get her a replacement. A manual. Something she doesn’t know how to operate, but her next door neighbor Zak sure as heck does.

Zak’s a geek to the core, shunned by everyone in school for playing Dungeons and Dragons at lunch and wearing “Use the Force” t-shirts. And Zoe’s got it bad for the boy. Only Zak doesn’t want Popular Zoe. He wants Geek Zoe.

She has to shove her insecurities and the fear of dropping a few rungs on the social ladder aside to prove to Zak who she really is and who she wants to be… if she can figure it out herself.

Expected in 2015

It’s Brea Mason’s sixteenth birthday, and she has three wishes. 1. Be magically eighteen like the rest of her friends. 2. Grow a money tree for her family whose financial problems are well known around town. 3. Overcome her test anxiety before she flunks out of every class. 

But one day later, she's still sixteen, her family's money worries abound, and she's no closer to passing than she was the day before!

Then a very sexy transfer student—with gobs of cash—shows up. Brea figures she has a better chance of burping up glitter than attracting the new guy, but he seems extremely interested in her. 

Just when Brea thinks things are looking up, her report card arrives marked with four giant F’s. Enter resident bookworm and Brea's loyal friend, Adam Silver. If he can't help Brea pass, no one can. 

Even with Adam's help, Brea can't handle the mounting pressure, and finds an escape with the new student who knows little about her problems. 

But spending oodles of time with her boyfriend strains the friendship with Adam she relies so heavily on. Faced with losing the only real comfort and support she has ever had, Brea starts to wonder if she can hook a bookworm before it's too late.

EXCERPT 

Boys against girls?” Zak offers, saying it into Zoe’s ear loud enough so that we all hear him.

“Heck no!” Zoe says, elbowing him in the gut. “You invited Sierra. I say you have to have her on your team.”

Way to throw me under the bus! But I really don’t blame her either. I shove her shoulder, and she winks at me.

Levi opens his mouth, but it’s Zak who speaks up first. “I’m cool with that. We’ll still kick your butts.” He throws his head back, grazing my knee with his dark brown hair. “Right, Sierra?”

“Uh … ” I’m so horrible at trash talk. Especially since I have no skills whatsoever to back it up. “Sure?”

“That’s the spirit!” He pumps the air with his controller, then starts scrolling through all these options of scary guys with lizard tails and spikes and crap.

“Go with Jin,” Levi whispers at me. I jolt from the warm breath hitting my neck and then mentally smack myself for being so jumpy. “He’s the easiest to control and his moves are pretty kickass.”

“I don’t even know what buttons to push.”

He smiles, and my butt melts into the cushion. “Just hit them all. Seems to work for me.”

“Hey, no pointers, traitor.” Zoe reaches over and whacks Levi’s knee, then snuggles back into Zak.

Levi helps me pick out the Jin character guy, who is this normal buff dude without a shirt. No spikes or tail, so at least he’s not scary looking. But he makes this noise like “Hoiyah!” when you select him. I giggle.

The screen flashes to this lava pit thing, and Zak is talking about how he’ll tag me when he needs to regenerate, so I can sit tight till I see my shirtless guy come on. But I’m shaking some freaky nerves as the game counts down to “Fight!”
