The Secrets of Boys

The Secrets of Boys

by Hailey Abbot

This is the first of her books that I'm reading, I just went ahead and downloaded a bunch of them online. Cass is a shy girl who is always used to being the sidekick and spending time with her boyfriend of two years. In other words she's just comfortable. The summer comes and her parents sign her up for a French class for the whole summer. In this class she finds Zach, who helps to bring out the real Cassidy, the one not afraid to talk to people and make everyone laugh. She discovers a lot about herself in this book, and it seems as if it goes by so quickly. The title is the Secret of Boys but really it was all about self discovery. Can I say secretly in the end I wanted her to end up with Joe, I was hoping the next book would be that but alas no continuation of the story. Good read though.

Good Girls

Good Girls
by Laura Ruby

Imagine being at a party and you're being intimate with someone and low and behold you forget to lock the door with the actual lock and someone snaps a picture of you in a compromising position. That is where this book starts, and shows the after affects of something like this happening to someone. Aubrey is a senior in High school, but this happens all the time all around the world to girls much younger than her. It's an epidemic I swear. Really watch what you take a picture of and who you send it to because most likely, like in this book everyone will see it, even your father. The book was really good beside the whole photo embarrassment the main character learns to give herself some self worth and to look beyond the surface.

Speed Dating

Speed Dating

by Nancy Warren

It's been a long time since I've read a Romance book from Harlequin, and I forget sometimes how good it feels to always have a happy ending. You know it's coming and it's going to be there and the fun is just getting there. This book is about an actuary accidentally running into a nascar star that just so happens to need a fake girlfriend to ward off his ex wife. The story was simple and it was just a generally good read, just to know that in the end everything will indeed be alright!

The Boys Next Door

The Boys Next Door

by Jennifer Echols

Synopsis:

Lori lives for summertime on the lake. She spends all season wake boarding, swimming, and hanging with her friends -- including the two hotties in the house next door. With the Vader brothers, Lori's always been one of the guys.
But while Lori and the "baby" brother, Adam, are inseparable friends, she can't deny a secret crush on Sean, the older Vader boy. This year Sean's been paying Lori a lot of attention, and not in a brotherly way.
But just as Lori decides to prove to Sean she's girlfriend material, she realizes that her role as girl friend to Adam may be even more important. And by trying so hard for the perfect summer romance, she could be going way overboard....

Review:

Imagine being young and growing up surrounded by nothing but boys, and then you want to be noticed by one but they only thing of you as one of the guys so you put a plan together to bring the sexy out. This is Lori's life. Three brothers, one she kissed when she was young, one she is in love with and the other is her age and like her close friend. I'm sure this is many a girl's fantasy to have this dilemma with boys next door, I know I've always wished there was a boy next door I could like. The book was great it really shows the growth of a great relationship and how it's been there all along and just needed to be discovered by everyone. I absolutely adore all of Jennifer Echol's books and will definitely be rereading this book over and over again. Now I'm reading the continuation of this story - can't wait to see what Lori and Adam are up to now.
