Adaline Frost’s life officially sucks. Now that her BFF has found her true love, Addy is constantly stuck being the third wheel. On top of that, she hasn’t started her junior project yet, so her advisor pairs her up with what could only be described as the “Reject Breakfast Club.” Instead of the weirdo and the troublemaker, Addy is forced to work with two stoners, a popular girl, and her crush, Austin Reed, the jock who broke her heart.
Austin Reed is sick of being labeled “dumb jock.” If he doesn’t get an A on this project, he can kiss his future goodbye. Austin thought he’d gotten lucky being partners with the very nerdy Adaline Frost, but boy was he wrong. Addy jumps down his throat about his being late and calls him names like “manwhore” on the daily. She has no idea Austin works before and after school in order to help his mom with the bills. Yeah, he’s made mistakes and has had lots of girlfriends, but he doesn’t need Adaline Frost to remind him of it every time he sees her.
Can Austin and Addy ever be a thing?
Right Girl Wrong Timing is book 3 in the Offsides series by Natalie Decker.
Excerpt:
It’s like my body is
on GPS vibe, and I sense her before I see her. Adaline enters the
commons, and Brock is talking about something, but I’m no longer listening to
him. “Hey, Brock, scoot your ass down one,” I say.
He lifts his head and
gawks around. “Grab another chair, and pull it up for her,” he says.
Slick move. I’ll take it.
“You still gotta move down. I want her close, man, not really you in my lap.”
He laughs as he slides his chair down, making room for me to pull another chair
for Adaline in its place. I steal one from the table next to me. I hope to hell
she’s coming over here, otherwise I’ll feel stupid.
She reaches the table and mumbles. “Got a minute before everyone else arrives?”
I pat the empty chair next to me. “Sure.”
“I don’t think I should sit there.”
I frown. “Ads, please take the seat.”
She rolls her eyes. “All right. Only if you stop pouting.”
Brock barks out a laugh as she plops down next to me. I grip the edge of her
chair and pull her close to me. Our legs touch, and her eyes widen. “That’s better.
You were too far away, and you know how crappy my attention is.”
She looks as if she’s half tempted to slap me. I wouldn’t blame her. “You’re
impossible. You know that?” Irritation laces her words. “I was thinking since
we must work together, we should get one thing straight. This will not be a
repeat of our history project.”
Wow. She’s really scorned. I mean, I got she was mad at me but damn. She knows
how to kick a dude while he’s down. “How many times do I have to apologize to
you?” I whisper.
“I’ll catch you later, man,” Brock says, and he leaves.
I wait until he’s gone before I clasp Adaline’s chin and direct her attention
to me. Her eyes narrow. “Don’t. Can we forget about it and just move on?”
I lean toward Adaline. Her breath hitches slightly. I dip my mouth close to
Adaline’s ear and whisper, “We’re not done discussing this. Far from it.”
