An Amazon Contemporary Romance best seller from the author of the best-selling paranormal romance series, The Resistance Trilogy.

Fear is sabotage’s sweetest weapon.

Kate has no time for meaningless romantic charades, and definitely no time for hot college professors who are full of themselves and smitten with her. Constantly battling eviction notices, tuition she can’t afford, and a sick, dependent mother, the last thing she needs is to be distracted with someone else’s complicated baggage.

When she stumbles into Ryan Campbell’s creative writing class, he is only “Mr. Campbell” to her, until Ryan finds himself captivated by her writing and she is forced to face their mutual attraction. His cocky know-it-all syndrome is enough to send her running in the other direction, and his posse of female admirers and playboy reputation are enough to squander any odds in her favor.

But underneath Ryan’s abrasive facade is something to behold, and she can’t stay away for long. Ryan and Kate must decide who they’re willing to become and fight against their former selves if they want to make things work. That’s if academia, vicious vixens, old skeletons, and their own mastery at self-destruction don’t pummel their efforts first.

I devoured this book, I think in total it took me 5 hours to read. Most of you will probably be familiar with Rachael Wade’s Resistance Trilogy books (Amaranth & The Gates) and I think this is her first contemporary romance, but let me tell you that she does this so well that she would definitely give the likes of Beautiful Disaster a run for their money. To all you Fifty & Travis fans – try this and welcome a brand new book boyfriend to the fold. 5 stars.—Melanie, Book Passion for Life Book Reviews

I’ve read Rachael’s other novels (Amaranth & The Gates) and while I really liked them, this one blew me away! If you love contemporary romance, you need to read Preservation. By far one of the best romances I’ve read lately! I highly recommend and you will not be disappointed!—Tiffany, A Purrfect Read Book Reviews
