The Shadow Realm: Blog Tour: How To Seduce A Band Geek by Cassie Mae

How to Seduce a Band Geek (How To #2)

by Cassie Mae

Release Date: 05/06/14

Swoon Romance

Summary from Goodreads:

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.

Big THANK YOU to this site for hosting me!!!

I have a sneak peek of How to Seduce a Band Geek, out now! Deets below :) :)

My cheeks may explode into oblivion. Why did I sign up for Debate when I hate making speeches? I don’t know what possessed me to do such a stupid thing. Was I daydreaming when I filled out the form? I really want a time machine. Take me back to my very first speech a year ago so I’m reminded of this crap, and I don’t sign up for it again.

There has to be some whispering or snickering or something from my classmates, but I don’t hear any of it. All I hear is my thundering heart. To make my embarrassment ten times worse, Levi’s standing next to me, having already delivered his part of the argument. We’re behind the huge podium together, and I can feel his eyes on my balloon face, and I want to cry.

I slowly let the air out from my mouth, blowing the brown strands of hair that have fallen from my ponytail. “Uh…” I clack my teeth. “Um… vending machines… they, um…”

Someone save me!

Now I hear the laughter because it’s getting louder than my heartbeat. Ms. Young yells a loud, “Shh!” then waves back at me as if the laughter is what’s interrupting my speech. It’ll be puke in a second. I should warn the people in the front row they’re in the splash zone.

Levi shuffles next to me, and I close my eyes. Maybe if I can’t see anything that’ll stop the panic attack.

Warm fingers touch mine behind the podium, and I jolt back. I open my eyes to Levi’s blue ones, and he’s doing that cute half-smile, but I’m too freaked out to appreciate what it does to my insides.

He goes for my hand again, and I let him. His thumb runs along my knuckles, rubbing soothing circles. With each stroke, he pulls out a line of nerves going through my body, and after a few breaths, I’m able to deliver more than two words.

The bell rings in the middle of my argument. Ms. Young says we’ll pick up tomorrow with the rest of my speech, and that makes me want to cry all over again. But Levi’s still rubbing my hand, so I guess it’s not all bad news.

“Did you picture everyone in their underwear?” he asks, bending over to pick up his little instrument case. He’s still holding my hand.

“No. Maybe I should do that next time so I don’t fumble all over myself.”

“You did great.” He squeezes my fingers, then drops them. I almost snatch his hand back. “Tomorrow will be nothing now that you’ve passed the scary stuff.”

“Talking is the scary stuff.”

He chuckles and flops his hair from his forehead. “I can hold your hand through it again, if that helps.” His face goes Crayola red. He scratches his nose and refuses to look at me. How super cute.

“I-it definitely helped.”

You can catch the rest here!

Blog Tour organized by:

My -slightly crazy- Review

5/5

So anyone who knows me will know that I have a HUGE reader crush on all Cassie Mae's books and when writing reviews I have a huge mental blog because all I can think to say is "It was AWESOME and adorable and cute and funny and just read it!!! Okay??!!!"

So I am aiming for a little more coherency this time.

First let me introduce the characters. . .

Sierra is the younger sister of the best friend, and is trying to get Levi's attention as something more.

Levi. . .has his own issues

Sierra wanted to get Levi's sister to help but after finding out what Levi was dealing with she decides snooping is a bad idea.

For the start of the book, I was shouting at Levi

In between the front cover and back there were hundreds of different scenes to make you laugh

. . .soar. . .

. . .get embarrassed, , ,

. . .get upset. . .

but most of all, feel transformed

There was honestly no other way of me expressing all that without Disney's help. And Stiles ;)

So, what I'm trying to say is that you will not regret reading this book or any book by this amazing author. She deals in cute and funny with dashes of reality and you will be hooked.
