Waste My Time, an all-new emotional and angsty new adult romance from Kelsey Clayton, is available now!
My name is Easton Donovan,
and I massively screwed up.
I should’ve given her the world.
Should’ve been everything she deserves.
Instead, I broke her like every promise I’ve ever made.
The darkness tells me to let her go.
Memories of my past keep me from letting her in.
Someone should tell her that loving me is a losing game.
Just being around her is a high I’ve never known.
If she knows what’s good for her, she’ll cut me off.
Given the chance, I’ll ruin her the way I’ve done to others.
But with the bomb she just dropped, she’s here to stay.
She’s flawless innocence.
I’m toxic destruction.
And the selfish part is, I need her.
Truth be told, Kennedy Lehigh could be the one to save me
from myself.
Louise's Review
Waste My Time is the 4th and final book in the North Haven University books; I have loved every second reading these books and I am sad to see it come to an end. Easton and Kennedy’s book was a fantastic story one that I read in 1 go, I couldn’t put it down. These characters have been through hell and I felt like I was holding my breathe for most of the book, just when you think you have things figured out, bam another curve ball.
Easton has been around since the beginning and his character hasn’t always been given the greatest reputation. You know when someone continues to say things that are stupidly inappropriate or insensitive? Well let’s just say, I wanted to hit Easton over the head several times after he stuffed up! I cannot wait to read more from Kelsey in the future and fall in love with a whole new set of characters.

Excerpt
Walking through campus, I keep my head down. The Advil has
done as much for my headache as the saltine crackers the school nurse gives you
for a broken arm. If there's one thing I don't want right now, it's to make
small talk with some shithead who thinks we're friends simply because Z and I
throw the best parties.
My only mission is to get to my class, where I can fall back
asleep listening to the monotone voice of my professor as he drones on about
the fundamentals of programming and problem solving. And yet, when I get most
of the way there, I quite literally crash right into someone else.
Books fly out of the girl’s hand and land among mine on the
ground.
“I'm so sorry,” I say, but as I look up, I notice Kennedy
staring back at me.
Shit.
I've been trying to stay out of her way. I mean, Tessa found
happiness after me, and then I practically destroyed her by trying to get her
back. I'd rather die than do the same thing to Kennedy, so if she's happy with
Alec, I'll force myself to be happy for her.
She stares back at me, clearly in shock as I quickly pick up
her books and hand them to her. As she takes them from me, our hands touch, and
my body reacts to the feel of her skin on my own.
The same way it always has.
The same way it always will.
Seeing her now, my body hurts—literally yearns to pull her
back into my arms and just hold her there, never letting her go. But I can't
let myself do that. Not anymore.
I go to walk away, to leave her alone like I swore to myself
I would, but she stops me with a call of my name.
“I actually need to talk to you about something,” she says
with a sigh.
The air around me feels too thick, standing here with her,
but I swallow it down. “Everything okay?”
“Uh, yeah. I guess,” she mutters, looking anywhere except
back at me. “I, uh...fuck.”
A part of me wonders if she's just trying to keep me around.
Keep my attention on her. Like ignoring her the past week was drawing her back
to me. But if I've learned anything the last week, it's that she's better off
without me.
Where I can't ruin her life.
Letting out a huff, I know I'm going to hate myself for
this. “Can you just say what it is you want to say? I have places to be.”
She narrows her eyes at me. “It's not that simple.”
“Sure it is. Your mouth forms words, and you say them,” I
spit. “Just tell me.”
“Easton,” she breathes, and I'm even more sure she just
wants to keep me here as long as possible.
I roll my eyes. “Fuck it, then. I've got to go.”
“I'm pregnant,” she announces, freezing up as she realizes
the way she just blurted out that crucial information. “According to the
doctor, about twelve weeks.”
Her words hit me right in the chest.
Pregnant.
She's pregnant.
And twelve weeks means it's mine. There's no way it can't
be, unless she cheated. No. Kennedy is a lot of things, but a cheater is not
one of them. That only leaves one person to be the father.
Me.
“Y-you're...”
Everything starts to spin as the reality sets in that I'm
going to be a father. The nausea from my hangover builds in my throat and
threatens to bubble over. I try to hold it back. Try to keep it in. But there's
nothing I can do.
It all happens in a millisecond. I attempt to turn away but
she puts her hand on my arm, keeping me in place as she looks at me in
bewilderment.
I'm stuck.
There's nowhere to go.
Nothing I can do.
And that's when it goes wrong.
I bend over, emptying the contents of my stomach all over
the ground and Kennedy's favorite pair of boots. She gasps, holding her books
close to her chest and not looking down for a moment. She doesn't need to. It’s
no mystery as to what just happened.
“Fuck,” I groan. “Kennedy, I am so sorry.”
“It's fine,” she snips, showing it's most definitely not
fine.
As she takes a step away, I stop her. “At least let me help
you clean up.”
“No,” she barks. “Trust me. You've done enough.”
With that, she practically runs back toward her dorm, not
sparing so much as a glance back at me.
I fucked up again.
