Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?
When Sophie Greene goes to spend Spring Break at her grandmother’s house in Florida, she never dreams she’ll end up catching the eye of the hottest guy she’s ever seen. As much as Sophie craves excitement, she’s a seat belt–wearing, three-square-meals-a-day, good girl at heart. . . . She doesn’t even have the guts to wear Dark as Midnight nail polish. But Sophie dreams of being the girl who isn’t afraid to live on the edge. So when a motorcycle-riding hottie calls her “Red” and flashes her a wolfish grin that practically screams Danger, what else is a nice girl to do but jump at the chance to walk on the wild side?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sophie is obsessed with the Devon Devoreaux romance series, imagining herself as the heroine in such novels as Lassoed by Lust and Battered by Betrayal, in which Devon meets millionaire playboys or dates South American dictators. Sophie s real-life love life pales in comparison, as she s stuck in a listless relationship with her boyfriend, Michael. But after Michael push the pause button on their relationship, Sophie, on a flight to Florida, meets Jack, a boy who seems ripped from the pages of her beloved romances ( Not only was he the hottest guy I had ever seen in person, but as I stood up to let him get to his seat, our arms touched and I immediately knew we were soul mates ). Unfortunately, both of Palmer s (Geek Charming) romantic leads are rather unlikable, with Sophie portrayed as awkward and na ve and Jack as clueless and cheesy. The humor tends toward the corny, and Sophie s character can be summed up through her observation: There was only so much a girl could focus on when a hot guy was holding her hand and scrambling her brain. Ages 12 up.
