Boy Crazy and Flirting with Boys

Cassie just got home from boarding school where her ex-boyfriend broke her heart. She's not ready to dive into summer. But her two best friends she hasn't seen in forever have a plan. They're going to spend the summer dating boys - and NOT get tied down. Each of them must kiss 10 boys during the summer. Cassie has the perfect summer job giving biking tours on an island, but she and her friends go out at night to relax. Gretta and Keagan start off just fine and Cassie gets into the plan - until she meets one particular boy. At first she tests him no, but soon he breaks down her barriers and she agrees to go on a date with him. Despite the warning from her friend, Cassie soon finds herself tied down. Now she's ditching her friends to be with her secret boyfriend and her summer's gone from carefree to stressful. Can she bring her two worlds together as one or will she have to choose?


Celeste thinks her summer will be horrible, spending it all without her boyfriend. It will give them a little time to test out the long distance relationship, which might be a good thing since he's heading to college in the fall. But when Travis pulls a prank at graduation, he's left to deal with the consequences - which have him working at Celeste's family resort. She's gearing up for the perfect summer with her boyfriend until she remembers the summer guests. There's one summer guest in particular, Nick. Last summer they flirted all season and might have hooked up once or twice. When he arrives, Celeste makes sure to tell him about Travis, but that doesn't really stop Nick from flirting with her. Celeste loves her boyfriend except when he's being a jealous idiot. Travis is furious about Celeste buttering up to Nick. But she can't help it - it's part of her job. Will this be a summer to remember for Celeste, or one to forget?



I loved these books. They're great summer romances that makes you feel the heat of the sun and they're filled with drama, boys, and having a good time. The covers of Hailey Abbott's books are always eye catching and fun. Although the cover of Flirting with Boys doesn't really match the story or the characters. I also love the author's biography:
Hailey Abbott grew up in Southern California, where she split her time between creative writing and creative beaching. Amusing.
