title: How to Kiss a Guy (Love Stories #3)
author:  Elizabeth Bernard 
description: Grade 7-9?Naomi Peters, 15, is a brain on the fast track to Harvard prelaw. She hangs out with a group of kids whose parents are successful and expect their children to follow in their footsteps. On a lark, she tries out for the school play, Beauty and the Beast, and gets the lead. She is immediately attracted to the Beast, Dylan Russo, and feels a chemistry between them that she'd only read about in romance novels. Josh, whom she's known for years, has been more of a good friend than a boyfriend. Dylan is from the wrong side of town, rides a Harley Davidson, and encourages her to cut her hair and skip school. Naomi struggles with a new relationship that is meaningful to her, but feels no support from her family, drama teacher, or friends. She must make the decision of how to resolve her two worlds on her own and almost loses Dylan in the process. The story is believable, and Naomi does take control of the situation. She faces Josh with the painful truth, and the ending is happy. This novel will appeal to YAs trying to discover who they are as opposed to who their parents want them to be.?Sandra L.

  IF HE’S DANGEROUS
  
  He grasped her by her shoulders, intending to scold her about foolishly
  risking her good name. Touching her immediately proved to be a mistake. The
  warmth of her beneath his hands rapidly entered his blood. The way her sweet
  face was turned up toward his, her soft mouth but a breath away, proved that
  he was right to think he had lost all control over his lusts. The lecture he
  had planned fled his head as rapidly as a buck did a hunter’s party. He
  lowered his mouth to hers, hungry to taste her again.
  
  The moment his lips touched hers, Lorelei flung her arms around his neck and
  held on tight. His kisses were intoxicating. When she was near him, kissing
  him was about all she could think of. The memory of his kisses haunted her for
  most of the time she was not with him as well. He tasted good, smelled
  delicious, and the hunger his first kiss had stirred within her just kept
  growing stronger . . .
