My Rating:
Jewel has always been able to get the guy she wanted. The starting jock on the football team, the team captain on the basketball team, and the lead swimmer on the swim team. Problem is, she didn't find them the least bit exciting. Was she cold or a she-wolf for guys? Colin thought so, and he'd do anything to bring her down a peg or two. When these two collide on the sandy beach during their mixed up summer vacation, sparks fly, making this a summer neither will forget.
This is a great, quick and easy read. I loved how Jewel and
Collin’s relationship grew slowly. In most books the couples seem to fall in
love too quickly. This one was paced a lot slower and was more realistic.
There is usually a lot of drama around teenage girls and
that gets a little frustrating to read. I liked how the author had Jewel handle
her emotions of having parents who were not there for her. Being pretty and
chased by all the boys in school wanting only one thing from her, she has her
own way of dealing with them which is amusing.
Collin is just adorable and handles his own emotional
baggage in his own way. He and Jewel is the perfect young couple who are meant
to be together and were lucky enough to find one another early in life.
The author did a great job keeping the plot moving and
wrapped it up at a nice pace for being a short story. This is book two in the series
and I love that it is a stand-alone and can be read in any order.
L.M. Preston was born in Washington, DC. She loved to create poetry and short-stories as a young girl. A Techie and Educator for over sixteen years, she started writing science fiction under the encouragement of her husband who was a Sci-Fi buff and her four kids. She has an obsessive desire to write and create stories of young people who overcome unbelievable odds. She loves to write while on the porch watching her kids play or when she is traveling, which is another passion that encouraged her writing. In addition to being an author, she's also a Moderator for Yalitchat.ning.org, 2012 Vice President of Mid Atlantic Book Association and 2012 co-chair for the Maryland Writer's Conference.
Thanks for the post & giveaway. I haven't read this book and I'll be adding it by TBR list. Keep on finding these great books. This books sounds like it will be a great read, I am looking forward to finding out how he takes her down a peg or two.
