Man of My Dreams by Bonnie Schroeder

Who says online dating doesn’t work? I’ve met the man of my dreams.

Just now the florist brought me a huge bouquet of red roses. The card reads, “Happy Anniversary. All my love, Jeff.”

The sentimental sweetheart—it’s been one month exactly since our first date.

Then the doorbell rings—the florist again, really flustered.

“I’m sorry. My idiot helper mixed up the delivery slips.”

He hands me six yellow roses.

The card: “Happy Birthday. XXOO Jeff.”

Another mix-up!

Wait: I use a fake birthday online—for security.

Hah! I’m not the only liar in town.

Even Bad Boys Want a Soul Mate. Kylo Ren Tells Teen Beat All by Margaret Finnegan

I’m looking for passion, playfulness. Good fashion sense. Someone who will tell me if my conditioner is letting me down. Being a super villain is a 24/7 kind of gig. She needs to get that. I can’t be all “ohh, let’s cuddle and watch a movie.” Maybe. Sometimes. Yeah. But more likely it’s gonna be a bit of curry, maybe some patricide, maybe we roast a few Ewoks. Do we share the same interests? That’s what’s I’m saying.
