Endless Summer Series
Genre: YA – Entangled Teen Crush
Synopsis
Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains references to drinking, sexual situations, adult language, and an intense bad boy hero who will melt your heart.
Annie McFarland is sick of being a shy nobody. A session at summer camp seems like the perfect opportunity to reinvent herself—gain some confidence, kiss a boy, be whoever she wants to be. A few days in, she’s already set her sights on über-hottie Kyle. Too bad her fear of water keeps her away from the lake, where Kyle is always hanging out.
Jacob Fazio is at Camp Pine Ridge after one too many screw-ups. Junior counseling seems like punishment enough, but the rigid no-fraternizing-with-campers rules harsh his chill. When a night of Truth or Dare gets him roped into teaching Annie how to swim, she begs him to also teach her how to snag Kyle.
Late-night swim sessions turn into late-night kissing sessions…but there’s more on the line than just their hearts. If they get caught, Jake’s headed straight to juvie, but Annie’s more than ready to dare him to reveal the truth.
Michel’s Review
Monica Murphy can write a love story for every generation. She has a talent of creating characters and a compelling story that any reader of any genre will enjoy.
Daring The Bad Boy is the perfect teen romance. A shy girl meets a troubled boy. Both are at summer camp for very different reasons. Annie wants to overcome her shyness and become a more social person. Jacob has been in trouble since his mother passed away. He has been ordered by the court to work at his uncle’s summer camp or do time in juvie.
Jacob is focused on staying out of trouble. One of his uncle’s hard rules is to stay away from the campers. When he meets Annie, he can’t help but be intrigued. In many ways she doesn’t quite fit. In other ways, she stands out among the girls at camp.
When Annie persuades Jacob to give her swimming lessons and help her with another boy, a friendship begins. A friendship that leads to love. A love that could be trouble for them both.
Monica tapped into her inner teenager and delivered a book that all teenagers can relate to. I would highly recommend this book to girls ages 13 to 16 years old. It is the perfect sweet romance that any parent would approve of their daughters reading.
