The Boys Next Door by Jennifer Echols

Last Friday night, I picked this book up at Barnes and Nobles. I read during the week a work. It has been a little slow read most at work, but this afternoon could not make myself leave it there to finish tomorrow. It is based at a lake in Alabama.  I don't know which one, but it is obviously in the southern part of the state (where I am so props for that). This is the story of Lori, who is discovering herself a she comes of age. Lori lives next to the Vader boys and, as all Good Southern Girls know, she is warned to watch out for the boys next door. She believes she is in love with middle brother, but chaos ensues as it appears he has eyes out for little brother's girl. Little brother and Lori hatch a plan for her to get her man and him to get his girl back. What ensues is two weeks of faux dating, which to everyone, but Lori, is so much more. All in all a book chock full of romance without being overly girly. Recommend for that young lady that can throw on heels and charm the parents, but can watch the game on Saturday (Roll Tide) a not interrupt with questions like "What's first in ten mean?". A great summer read I declare.  Reading the sequel now so more to come soon.
