Praise
for Did I Mention I Love You?
“Readers will root for them, like they would with Edward and
Bella—the mutual attraction and need for one another is palpable. It rings of
passion, excitement, and first love.” –VOYA Magazine
“An edgy young adult romance with dark layers” –The Examiner
“A believable coming-of-age story and an unconventional romance,
set against a present-day California summer... . The fallout of divorce,
the insidiousness of substance abuse and family secrets, and especially the
pangs of first love drive this emotionally resonant tale.” –
Publishers Weekly
“Written in first person, Maskame’s trilogy opener is an excellent
portrayal of a teenage girl’s life in the 21st century. Eden has to adjust to
her blended family, try to feel pretty, be body conscious, and make friends,
all while falling in love for the first time. She is someone all young people
can relate to...Romance fans will be captivated by Eden and her journey to
finding herself and true love.” –School Library Journal
Summary:
Love is everything but expected.
Eden Munro came to California for a summer of sun, sand, and
celebrities- what better way to forget about the drama back home? Until she
meets her new family of strangers; a dad she hasn’t seen in three years, a
stepmonster, and three stepbrothers.
Eden gets her own room in her dad’s fancy house in Santa Monica.
A room right next door to her oldest stepbrother. Tyler Bruce. Whom she cannot
stand. He has angry blue eyes and an ego bigger than a Beverly Hills mansion.
She’s never felt such intense dislike for someone. But the two are constantly
thrown together as his group of friends pulls her into their world of
rule-breaking, partying, and pier-hanging
And the more she tries to understand what makes Tyler burn
hotter than the California sun, the more Eden finds herself falling for the one
person she shouldn’t…

Did I Mention I Love
You? Excerpt
I can almost see the
road through the gaps in the fence by the side of the house, and I squint
through. There’s music playing. More like blaring. I can hear it over the
crappy music that’s already bouncing around the back yard, and as a sleek white
car speeds up to the edge of the sidewalk and skids against the curb, I grimace
in disgust. The music cuts off the second the engine is killed.
“What are you looking
at?” Rachael asks, but I’m too busy staring to even attempt to answer.
The car door swings
open roughly, and I’m surprised it doesn’t fall straight off its hinges. It’s
difficult to see clearly through the fence, but a tall guy gets out and slams
the door shut just as aggressively as he opened it. He hesitates for a moment,
stares at the house, and then runs a hand through his hair. Whoever he is, he
looks su-per depressed. Like he’s just lost all his life savings or his dog
just died. And then he heads straight for the gate.
“Who the hell is this
jackass?” I mutter to Rachael as the figure nears us.
But before either of
us can say anything more, Jackass decides to hit the gate open with a fist,
drawing the at-tention of everyone around us. It’s like he wants everyone to
hate him. I figure he’s probably that one neighbor that everyone despises, and
he’s only here in a fit of rage because he wasn’t invited to the lamest
barbecue get-together that’s ever been hosted.
“Sorry I’m late,”
Jackass comments sarcastically. And loudly too, with a smirk on his lips. His
eyes flash green as emeralds. “Did I miss anything besides the slaughtering of
animals?” He throws up the infamous mid-dle finger to, from what I can see, the
barbecue. “I hope you guys enjoyed the cow you just ate.” And then he laughs.
He laughs as though everyone’s expressions of disgust are the most entertaining
thing he’s seen all year.
“More beer?” I hear my
dad call out to the silent crowd, and as they chuckle and return to their
conversations, Jackass heads through the patio doors. He slams them shut so
hard I can almost see the glass tremble.
I’m stunned. I have no
idea what just happened or who that was or why he’s just entered the house.
When I realize I’m slightly slack-jawed, I close my mouth and turn to Rachael.
She bites her lip and
pushes her sunglasses down over her eyes. “I’m guessing you haven’t met your
step-brother yet.”
