From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic comes a sexy, new standalone novel. Brayden Kendricks might be God's gift to the female species at Western University, but I want nothing to do with the dark-haired football player. The guy is an attention seeking you-know-what who soaks up fan adoration like it's his due in life for being hot and talented. Damn. Did I just say that? All right, fine...I'll grudgingly admit that Brayden is decent looking. I suppose if you're into guys who resemble Greek gods with abs of steel and chiseled pecs, then sure, one could consider him attractive. Am I guilty of having a tiny, practically non-existent crush on him freshman year? I'd prefer not to answer that question. Thankfully, I quickly came to my senses and have made a concerted effort to steer clear of Brayden ever since. It hasn't been easy, considering that my bestie is now dating his roommate and we've been thrown together for an accounting project. You'd think after years of baring my teeth at him like a rabid dog, the guy would have gotten the memo that I'm not interested. Apparently not, since he's spreading word around campus that we're going out. I mean, can you even imagine? Me? Dating Brayden Kendricks? I have four words for him... No. Way. In. Hell.

Heart Throb, Season 2 #5

From dreams of Prince Charming or dashing military heroes, to the lure of dark strangers and vampire lovers; from rock stars and rebels to soulmates, dependable family types, or simply good companions, female fantasies about men tell us a great deal about the history of women.

What can a cultural history of the heartthrob teach us about women, desire, and social change? From dreams of Prince Charming or dashing military heroes, to the lure of dark strangers and vampire lovers; from rock stars and rebels to soulmates, dependable family types or simply good companions, female fantasies about men tell us as much about the history of women as about masculine icons. When girls were supposed to be shrinking violets, passionate females risked being seen as 'unbridled', or dangerously out of control. Change came slowly, and young women remained trapped in double-binds. You may have needed a husband in order to survive, but you had to avoid looking like a gold-digger. Sexual desire could be dangerous: a rash guide to making choices. Show attraction too openly and you might be judged 'fast' and undesirable. Education and wage-earning brought independence and a widening of cultural horizons. Young women in the early twentieth century showed a sustained appetite for novel-reading, cinema-going, and the dancehall. They sighed over Rudolph Valentino's screen performances, as tango-dancer, Arab tribesman, or desert lover. Contemporary critics were sniffy about 'shop-girl' taste in literature and in men, but as consumers, girls had new clout. In Heartthrobs, social and cultural historian Carol Dyhouse draws upon literature, cinema, and popular romance to show how the changing position of women has shaped their dreams about men, from Lord Byron in the early nineteenth century to boy-bands in the early twenty-first. Reflecting on the history of women as consumers and on the nature of fantasy, escapism, and 'fandom', she takes us deep into the world of gender and the imagination. A great deal of feminist literature has shown women as objects of the 'male gaze': this book looks at men through the eyes of women.
