Drama. Lies. Sex.

Welcome to Palm South University.

The weather isn’t the only thing heating up in South Florida. At a school where fraternities and sororities don’t exactly play by the rules, relationships are bound to be tested. Parties and sex are definitely key ingredients in the Palm South recipe, but what happens when family issues, secret lives, and unrequited love get tossed in the mix?

Follow Cassie, Bear, Jess, Skyler, Erin, Ashlei, and Adam as they tackle college at a small, private beach town university. Written in television drama form, each episode of this serial will pull you deeper and deeper into the world of PSU.

Where the sun is hot and the clothes are scarce, anything can happen. 


The final installment of PSU Season 2 is LIVE!
You can now binge read the entire season all the way through the explosive finale.

As our smiles settle, I grip the glass a little tighter. “I didn’t come here to celebrate.”
“I figured,” she responds, eyes on her own hands. “Listen, I get it. It was Spring Break, we were both drinking. It’s all good.”
I cock a brow, setting my glass down on the kitchen island. It’s Sunday night and the house is mostly quiet, save for the faint sound of giggling coming from the rooms upstairs.
“It wasn’t a mistake, Cassie. It wasn’t an accident or a drunken decision. Ever since I kissed you at the concert last semester, I’ve wanted to do it again.”
She wants me to apologize for the kiss. She thinks I regret it. I don’t.
“How can you say that?” she asks, green eyes wide. “You were with Skyler.”
“I know, I know.” I pinch the bridge of my nose, not really knowing how to explain what I need to. “It’s not that I didn’t care for her — that I don’t still care for her. But I also care about you. And that night on the beach, it was like the biggest moment of clarity for me.”
Cassie drops her glass to the counter and brings her fingernails to her teeth, nibbling, eyes on the tile floor.
“You can’t do this, Adam. I mean, what are you even asking me?” Her voice is shaky when she finally speaks.
“I don’t know.” I sigh, knowing none of this is coming out right. But what do I really expect? I was dating her Big Sister just a few short weeks ago and now, what? I’m going to ask her to be with me? “I guess I’m just saying that I get what you said at the Fratalina Wine Mixer now.” I shrug, lifting my eyes to hers. “You confuse me, too.”

Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5


Time for formals and finals!

I can't believe the semester is almost over.  It seems like we just started and already it is over too soon, much like an awesome vacation... This episode is one heck of a finale! Some we expect, from reading Black Number Four, but some are quite shocking.  And now a bit about the story...

Lots going on in this one: Bear is trying to get over Shawna.  Cassie is torn between Adam and Grayson. Erin battles with moving on.  Jess pushes against Jarrett and fights love.  Ashlei struggles to pull all the pieces back together.  It will all be figured out by finals, with a shock here and there...

But what is next? Will Kandi give us a summer mini series or does Season Three pick up after BN4... questions, questions :)

Favorite passages:
 - “How the hell do you ever expect me to not be selfish when it comes to you?”
 -...there’s nothing that can stop us now.

Kandi started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic (like most girls brought up on Disney movies).

When Kandi isn’t working or writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys beach days, movie marathons, live music, craft beer and sweet wine – not necessarily in that order.

Family ... you can live without them

Now that Spring Break is over, it's back to the grind.  The gang is gearing up for family weekend at PSU.  Secrets are shared and relationships torn apart... And now a bit about the story...

Clayton is up visiting Bear, and with many other parents and siblings.  Three secrets come out, each causing havoc on those involved.  Thru the drama there is quite a bit of comedy and jealousy though... if only we knew what really happened on Spring Break!!!

Favorite passages:
- “Make sure you call up all the hottest sorority babes because Baby Bear is looking for someone to hibernate with tonight.”
- Which means it’s my turn to step up to the plate and put on my mom pants.

“It’s okay,” I whisper, my forehead to hers. She nods, concern still written in her features as I kiss her again. It’s so strange seeing Bo this way, so nervous and unsure. She’s the confident one in the bedroom — commanding, strong. As Alex’s hand snakes its way into my hair and he pulls my mouth from Bo’s to his own, I wonder if he’ll be taking the captain’s chair tonight.
My heart hammers beneath my ribcage as I taste him, new and exotic. Bo’s lips trail down my neck to my cleavage as she palms the space between my thighs. Moaning into Alex’s mouth at the touch, he pops the button on his jeans without breaking our kiss. I hear his zipper next, and then his shorts are on the floor. He kicks them away, just as Bo pulls me from him, her hand tugging at my tank top. I lift my arms and she rips it up and over, tossing it to the side before making quick work of my bra.
It’s almost too much. We’re all hands and mouths — stripping, kissing, touching, stripping more. Somewhere along the way we find the stairs, which lead up to a master bedroom Alex is clearly occupying. The four post bed is built with dark wood and lined with deep red accents that match the comforter Bo and I slide onto easily, feeling the cool fabric against our skin. Alex makes his way between us, propping himself up against the headboard and taking each of us by the waist as we kiss over him.
Bo’s breaths are still shaky, her arms trembling as she holds herself steady on the bed. We’re leaning over Alex, our tongues tangled, while he slowly strokes himself and watches. I massage her tongue with mine, each kiss an attempt to bring her energy back to mine. Just when I have her there, Alex’s hand moves from my waist to behind my thigh. It hovers there for just a moment before I feel his fingers penetrate me, and from Bo’s reaction, his other hand is doing the same to her.
“I don’t know if I can do this,” she whispers between our kisses. I pull back, panting at the feel of Alex’s fingers inside me and how turned on I am by Bo’s kisses.
“You don’t have to do anything to him. Or vice versa. Just focus on me.”
With that, I break contact from Alex and pull Bo with me, rolling over until I’m on my back and Bo’s straddling me. I love the way the skin stretches across her petite hips as she rubs against me, building a friction that will drive her to the edge. Alex takes my cue, moving between my legs and spreading my thighs open to him as I maneuver Bo up my body. When her knees are on either side of my head, I slide my hands down her neck, her arms, until I lace my hands in hers. Placing them on the headboard above us, I curl her fingers, locking them in place.
“Hold on tight,” I whisper, licking my lips.

A Spring Break to remember!!

Wow! This was the best episode so far this season!! It starts off with a bang and never stops.  A wild, wanton, and wicked weekend for PSU as they invade Key West ;)  And now a bit about the story...

Everyone is off to the beach and the diets were so worth it! All you favorites show up in this episode.  Some secrets are exposed, some shared, and some only uttered in thought... Between basking in the sun by day and drinking like a fish by night the KBB girls, Adam, and O Chi guys have a blast.  You'll never guess the surprise they come home too... 

Favorite passages:
 - The truth is, there are some challenges we face in our lives that completely change us.
 - Oh my God, did I just call him my boyfriend?
 - But for now, on a blanket in the sand, beneath a sky of stars, we have tonight.

"What I can’t understand in this moment is why you’ve been ignoring me.” His dark eyes are hard on mine. “You said it’s mostly because you’re sick. What else?”
I take another bite, mainly to buy myself another minute to think. “Well, remember how you fucked me into admitting I was jealous over Spencer?” He nods. “I, uh, I saw you two together. At Pie Heaven.”
Jarrett sighs, rubbing his face. “I told you she’s just my boss’ daughter. We surfed that morning and grabbed lunch after.”
I shake my head. “Stop. You don’t need to explain yourself to me. I know we’re not together, and that’s why I’ve been avoiding you, because I shouldn’t feel jealous over who I see you with, Jarrett. Jealousy is dangerous. It leads to more intense feelings.”
He watches me carefully, chewing the inside of his cheek. “Come here.”
“Ew, I’m so gross right now.”
Jarrett fights a smile. “Jess, come here.”
I’m hesitant, but eventually comply, setting my bowl on the coffee table and maneuvering until we’re both lying on the couch spooning. Jarrett wraps his arms around me, tight, pulling me into him and kissing my bare shoulder. “You are the most stubborn woman I have ever met.”
I snicker, pulling the blanket up under my chin. “How long before I chase you away?”
He’s quiet for a moment, his free hand running through my hair, lulling me into a sedative state. “You can’t chase someone who’s not running.”

What's wrong with being good?

This week's episode is all feelings and sparks lots of questions. Why does the paparazzi focusing on Skylar's looks throw her? Why does Cassie care if everyone thinks see is a goody two shoes? Why is Jess afraid to call Jarrett? Why does Bear walk away from two women in his bed? And now a bit about the story...

It's time for another party! Big surprise, right? Cassie is determined to turn heads and get drunk, turning to Whiskey even though it is a wine party. She does turn lots of heads, luckily Grayson shows up before anything too bad goes down. Taking her back to his place to snuggle. Though they are not the only two who ends up snuggled together for the night...

Favorite passages:
- Confidence is not a virtue I possess, but it’s almost like it came along with the heels and makeup tonight.
- “Whiskey works faster.”
- I’m still trying to process the fact that I have two girls in my bed right now.

She swallows, and I watch with more curiosity than I should as her eyes flick to my mouth quickly before finding my gaze. “I should go touch up my makeup.”
It’s then that I realize how hard we’re both breathing, how close we’re standing. Dropping her hands, I shove my own back in my pockets and nod. “Okay. I’ll see you out there.”
Before I can think more about what the hell just happened, I turn on my heel and make my way toward the side stage exit.
“Adam?”
I pause, turning slowly, afraid she’ll tell me I was over the line. Afraid I’ll lose her, even though she’s not really mine to keep.
“Thanks. Really.” She smiles with just one side of her mouth, just for a moment, before backing into the bathroom and slowly closing the door.
“Anytime,” I reply to no one. And I know even though she didn’t hear it, she knows it’s true as much as I do. I’d be there for her no matter what.
I just can’t decide if that’s a good thing.

Change is coming...

We continue the spring semester with our close friends from Palm South! Spring break planning, the annual KKB auction, and Valentine's Day. And now a bit about the story...

What would be more traditional spring break planning than dieting. Though Skylar and Jess seem to fail! And then it is on to the auction. Can the girls keep it together and pull off a successful fundraiser?

Favorite passages:
- “You sure you don’t want to eat the tin foil, too?”
- ... being that all of my intelligence is wasted in the classroom, my common sense is at exactly level zero.
- “... on a scale of one to sexy I’m at a solid awkward turtle ninety percent of the time.”
