London
Falling by T.A. Foster
January 2014
BOOK
SUMMARY:
It’s London’s senior year and she
only needs one class to graduate. She just didn’t expect her final assignment:
fall in love.
Communication 224 has a reputation
for giving out the most unique projects of the semester. When London James and
Beau Anderson signed up for the class they had no idea they would be paired up
together, much less spend an entire semester working on their final grade.
Professor Garcia tasks them to
produce a study on the hit reality show, Love
Match, a show about strangers falling in love on over the top dates. London
and Beau decide to debunk the popular show’s fantasy portrayal of romance.
Determined they can date the entire semester and not fall for each other, the
classmates share blogs about their dates and start a website where everyone can
follow their dating experiment. Resisting their growing attraction for one
another is harder than they thought.
London is in for the toughest class
of her college career. The headstrong and success-driven student discovers
there might be more important things in life than an A.

Excerpt:
Excerpt 1:
I felt like a mall walker hurriedly racing past row
after row of towering bookshelves. Davis Library was nothing if not a
labyrinth. It had been months since I had navigated the floors of periodicals
and stressed out studying students. But after several rounds of cryptic texts,
Beau had convinced me to meet him in one of the library’s eighth floor study
rooms.
There was a man sleeping on one of the couches, but
I didn’t see anyone else as I charged to room 8052, the study cube Beau had
reserved. I tapped on the door then pushed it forward,
walking into a dark cubicle.
“Beau?” I called into the tiny study space. The door
slammed behind me. I felt strong and determined arms encircle my waist as he
backed me against the door.
“I missed you.” He growled into my ear before
descending on my mouth. He grabbed under my bottom and hitched my legs around
his waist. This was unreal.
I tasted his lips. “Have you been drinking?” I tried
to pull back, but he was working his way down my
neck and I was melting in his hands.
Then, I remembered we were in the library. Mustering
a little more strength, I unlocked myself from his grip.
“Beau? What’s going on? Are you drunk? Don’t you
have an exam?”
I felt his breath on my neck as my eyes started to
adjust to the darkness of the study room.
“Yeah. Bucket list.”
“What are you talking about?” I was trying to pace
my breathing. Three days without kissing Beau was definitely too many.
“Take an exam drunk, which I’m getting ready to do,
and kiss a girl in Davis Library,
which I just did. Check and check.”
I slugged him in the arm. “You lured me up here to
mark something off your list?”
“Ouch, London.” He grabbed his bicep. “You didn’t
seem to mind a second ago.” His lips nuzzled under my jaw, and
his hand slipped between the space under the small of my back and my jeans.
“Wait a second. You’re going to take an exam drunk?
Are you crazy?”
“Don’t worry. I studied while you were in Comm 224,
then I started drinking.”
I couldn’t stop the small moan that surfaced, but I
could stop him. “Beau. I need to get you coffee or something. You can’t go to
class like this.”
“Stop, London. It’s on my list. I’m going to do
fine.” No doubt he would ace an exam in seduction, but how could he pass a
history exam like this?
“Ok. But let me at least walk with you to class?” I
clasped my hands around his waist and pulled him closer to me.
“Ok, movie star. You can walk with me, but that
means we have to leave this dark room, and I don’t think I’m ready to do that.”
I yielded to him as his lips crushed mine.
Ok, we could stay a few more minutes.
