Spare Me

Written by Tara Sivec

Narrated by Kelsey Navarro and Tim Paige

Ryan Hutton has spent his entire life being the shy, nerdy, rule-following nice guy on Summersweet Island. He's the high school bowling coach and algebra teacher, who's always predictable, and he's always been fine with that. At least until a sexy nutjob gives him the best kiss of his life in his favorite pizza place. Suddenly, he doesn't like being the quiet, obedient nice guy anymore.

When Danica Brewster first set foot on this beautiful island a few days ago, she just wanted a place to call home-far, far away from her family. A place where she could be wild and free without their judgment. When she finds out her new roommate is the stranger she kissed for free pizza, Danica knows this is a complication she definitely doesn't need in her life right now.

However, the memory of that kiss is making them both act out of character. Ryan and Danica soon realize you can't ignore your problems and hope they'll go away. Those problems will just come back with a vengeance, tossing everything into the gutter.

It doesn't make sense for a nerd to fall in love with a nutjob, but with the magic of Summersweet Island, anything is possible . . . if you have enough balls.

Contains mature themes.

Reviews for Spare Me

[Dar Good · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I didn’t realize I needed Ryan’s story until I had it, and I think it is my favourite of the series! He is such a nice guy, and Dani empowers him to stand up for himself. Even all their miscommunications happen because they are both being nice to the other, or so they think. Watching these two stumble and act out of their normal character, but totally who they are, was all sorts of fun and definitely swoon-worthy <3
