Make It Count by Megan Erickson

Kat Caruso wishes her brain had a return policy, or at least a complaint hot-line. The defective organ is constantly distracted, terrible at statistics, and absolutely flooded with inappropriate thoughts about her boyfriend’s gorgeous best friend, Alec…who just so happens to be her brand new math tutor. Who knew nerd was so hot?

Kat usually goes through tutors like she does boyfriends—both always seem to bail when they realize how hopeless she is. It’s safer for her heart to keep everyone at arm’s reach. But Alec is always stepping just a little too close.

Alec Stone should not be fantasizing about Kat. She’s adorable, unbelievably witty, and completely off limits. He’d never stab his best friend in the back…

But when secrets are revealed, the lines of loyalty are blurred. To make it count, Alec must learn messy human emotions can’t be solved like a trigonometry function. And Kat has to trust Alec may be the first guy to want her for who she is, and not in spite of it.

Tease...

"What? Are you blind?  My hair is all kinky from the humidity.  And these little whispies of hair around my temples look awful and drive me nuts."

"Whispies? Are we speaking the same language?"

Kat shrugged.  "Um, probably not.  This is Kat-speak." She rolled her eyes dramatically and waved her hands in a circle. "I thought you were supposed to be smart.  Keep up, Alec."

He stared at her for a minute and then started laughing.  That wasn't the first time she'd surprised him into laughter.  She liked it. (kindle location 953)
