In this classic edition top scholars in family research examine the nature and origin of adolescents’ contemporary patterns of sexual and romantic relationships, from the evolutionary roots of these behaviors to policies and programs that represent best practices for addressing these issues in schools and communities. The text offers interdisciplinary expertise from scholars of psychology, social work, sociology, demography, economics, human development and family studies, and public policy. Adolescents and young adults today face very different choices about family formation than did their parents’ generation, given such societal changes as the rise in cohabitation, the increase in divorce rates, and families having fewer children. This book examines these demographic trends and provides a backdrop against which adolescents and emerging adults form and maintain romantic and sexual relationships. This book addresses such questions as: *What are the ways in which early family and peer relationships give rise to romantic relationships in the late adolescent and early adult years? *How do early romantic and sexual relationships influence individuals’ subsequent development and life choices, including family formation? *To what extent are current trends in romantic and sexual relationships in adolescence and emerging adulthood problematic for individuals, families, and communities, and what are the most effective ways to address these issues at the level of practice, program, and policy? Ideal as a supplement in graduate or advanced undergraduate courses on interpersonal (romantic) relationships, adolescent development, human sexuality, couples and/or family and conflict, sociology of children and youth, family therapy taught in human development and family studies, clinical or counseling psychology, social work, sociology, communications, and human sexuality this book also appreciated by researchers and clinicians/counselors who work with families and adolescents.

Enjoy this bad boy romance at a terrific discount. I’m hell-bent on claiming Brynn… even if it goes against “doctor’s orders”. Being stuck in a hospital bed for seven days is not how I wanted to spend time here in my hometown in Texas. But, that bucking bronco at the rodeo had other plans for me. Bruised tailbone, banged-up ribs, and a cracked tibia. Sadly, my rodeo days might be over. One thing that’s brightening my bedridden days here is Nurse Brynn. Her warm smile, caring touch and killer curves under that uniform are driving me wild. And she’s sneaking me sodas behind her boss’s back. Score! With every massage from her, we’re getting close. A little TOO close. Nurses getting romantically involved with patients is completely off-limits. She could lose her job, and I could have this whole town talking trash about me. I don’t care. Life’s short and we only live once. The doctor in charge has noticed the fire between Brynn and me, and we’re paying the price. He’s being an absolute prick to me and he’s trying to control Brynn’s every move. He has ulterior motives and wants her all for himself. There’s no way I’ll let that happen. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect Brynn from this snake. The stakes are high, but I’m determined to show Brynn what this cowboy is made of and give her the ride of her life.
