Our Rating: A tale where chemistry is not just a class in high school

Synopsis:  After a bombing destroys Southside High, Veronica helps the new Southside students feel welcome at Riverdale High. Her new lab partner, Sweet Pea, changes her perception of the Serpents. But as tensions rise between the haves and have nots of Riverdale, Veronica finds herself trapped in the middle. Before the next bomb explodes, she must decide where her true loyalties lie.

Excerpt: Veronica didn’t see any more of the new arrivals until third period. As the bell rang, the super tall Serpent with the neck tattoo wandered in, looking slightly lost.

“Is this AP Chemistry?” he asked the teacher.

“Indeed it is,” Mr. Dorn replied. “Welcome to Riverdale High. You must be Mr. Patrick Flannery.” The teacher handed him a textbook and a lab manual.

“I go by Sweet Pea,” he explained.

“Duly noted.” Mr. Dorn made a notation in his role book. “We have a few extra seats, so sit wherever you like.”

Veronica watched with annoyance as coats and backpacks were scooted across lab tables, making it abundantly clear that the new arrival was decidedly unwanted. Assholes. Time to lead by example.

Veronica stood up and waved. “There’s a free seat here.” Sweet Pea made eye contact with her, giving her a surprisingly sweet smile before heading to her table near the back of the room.

As he walked past Cheryl, she murmured, “I hope they fumigated all you Southside scum before they let you into our vermin free building.”

“Suck me, bitch,” he responded in an equally low voice.

Read It Because: Advanced Chemistry is a compelling story that combines romance, sensuality, action, and the intriguing blend of two different worlds with a high school flavor. In this fic, we are introduced to a Sweet Pea with a unique identity and family life, including a backstory that coincidentally connects with Veronica’s, which helps to fill in the gaps about his character left behind by canon. Toss in a Northside/Southside rivalry, a healthy dose of chemistry homework, and a mysterious bomber on the loose, and you have a action-packed tale of two lovers brought together through unique circumstances.

Our Rating: The land of smut and orgasms with an excellent soundtrack

Synopsis: Her life was wrapped up in one brilliant white Tiffany bow – the money, the privilege, the opulence of her family’s legacy the perfect inscription on the dull boring epitaph that left Veronica Lodge feeling dead inside. To escape, she dances, grasping onto her freedom as she moves across the stage of the burlesque club, The Whyte Wyrm, owned by former sorority sister Cheryl Blossom. One night, though, her world is turned upside down when she locks eyes with biker and former Marine Sweet Pea, and the vitriol they soon spew at each other only adds fuel to the flame between them.

Both controlled by their own demons, both unwilling to relent to the way they feel, they stomp around their emotions, night after night, dance after dance. Sweet Pea has his sordid past, rife with memories of death and violence, but Veronica has her own skeletons, locked behind the walls of her heart, and freeing them will only prove that she’s no angel after all.

Can these two broken souls that feel such scorn for each other give in to the heat between them, learning to keep the flames ablaze despite their differences and hostility for each other, or will their fire only serve to combust and burn out in the dark of night?

Excerpt: When he had walked into the room, the lights on the stage had drawn him right to her, a spotlight above the most heavenly and delicious looking woman he had ever seen. She was in a sparkling dress, the flash and shimmer of the jewels another beacon that grabbed his attention. Her hair, dark as midnight like his, was curled up, looking tight and restrained – the complete opposite of the sexy, tempting tease of her dance that practically begged the audience to become sexually tense then let go. When she had angled her back leg up in an arch to meet her hand, slowly yanking off the thin fabric of her panty hose in an achingly slow amount of time, he felt the flesh in the front section of his jeans twitch.

Read It Because… No Angel is a hauntingly beautiful story about Veronica Lodge as a highly skilled burlesque dancer who becomes romantically linked with Sweet Pea, a former Marine and Southside Serpent. This fic marries amazing descriptions packed with delightfully teasing banter and out of this world smut, for a truly compelling story of two people struggling to make their way in the world with each other. The excerpt is just a small sample of the excellent writing and character development in this fic, which leaves you wanting more with each word and fully delivers.
