Four new teen romance novels available at your library!

Try these delicious new teen romances for some flirty and fun escape reading! These two hot authors each have two new books. Let me do the math for you -- that's FOUR awesome reads!

Teen romance -- isn't it obvious how the books end? Of course, these books do have a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Why bother reading them at all?

Emery Lord writes amazingly supportive best friend characters and the most understanding guys ever. You will wish you had these folks in your life! From the author's website: Emery Lord is a 20-something Midwestern girl who writes stories about high school and best friends and weird families and the crushes that make you feel combustibly alive and also more awkward than you thought was possible.

After that introductory sentence, you will want to read more about her.

Jennifer Echols new new Superlatives series about seniors at a Florida high school who are selected for their class's superlative --most, best, biggest -- categories in the yearbook, and how the labels change the way they view themselves and alter the course of their lives

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord follows seventeen-year-old Reagan as she tries to escape heartbreak and a bad reputation by going on tour with her country superstar best friend--only to find more trouble as she falls for the surprisingly sweet guy hired to pose as the singer's boyfriend.

The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord introduces Paige Hancock, who is tackling her junior year with a list of ways to take back her life, rather than spending another year as "The Girl Whose Boyfriend Drowned."

Biggest Flirts by Jennifer Echols -- Tia likes to flirt, but she isn't looking for a serious relationship. Will is the same way--at least, that's what Tia thinks. But Will wants a real girlfriend, so despite their chemistry, he starts dating someone else. Then Tia and Will are elected their yearbook's Biggest Flirts, and things get really complicated.

Perfect Couple by Jennifer Echols -- When yearbook photographer Harper and the star player of the high school football team get voted "the perfect couple that never was" by their senior class, the unlikely pair start falling for one another. But a handful of obstacles, including Harper's boyfriend, stand in the way of their perfect ending.
