Also by this author:
Alex has big plans for camp this year, starting with making it the best summer ever. Having fun and breaking some rules will get her the payback she wants against her parents and her ex-boyfriend. Because of his disgusting texts, she's headed to a super strict all-girls school in the fall.
Then she meets Javier and revenge doesn't seem nearly as important as getting to know the troubled loner determined to keep a low profile at camp. But Alex's trouble-magnet personality and Javier's need to stay in the background don't mix nearly as well as their irresistible chemistry.
With her home life eroding under her feet and her last year of summer camp speeding to a close, Alex wants to make her mark on the world and squeeze every bit of fun out of her time with Javier. Too bad her old plans for revenge turn back on her just in time to ruin everything. Will she lose Javier too?

The dynamic duo of J.K. Rock can do no wrong. Their young adult contemporary camp boyfriend series is awesome for young, and not so young, readers alike. An entertaining series that delivers important life lessons.
Characters are likeable, realistic, and colorful. They grab you and pull you into their world and won’t let you go…that is if you wanted to, which you won’t!
The pacing and mechanics of the writing is exceptional. Careful attention has been paid to ensure the text is written with the targeted age group in mind, but it remains intelligent and mature at the same time, giving it an appeal to older readers as well.
Bottom line: I highly recommend anything written by these incredibly talented authors. As long as they keep writing–their books will continue to fill my bookcase!
