Beth reviews LOVE UNDERCOVER by Jo Edwards (Simon Pulse, 2006)

OK, so maybe I read a little more than most people. But, it is my job and I love to read. Back in November, it was time to choose my 100th Book of 2007. Yes, the 100th book—which is really hard to choose. I sent emails to friends and co-workers asking for ideas and suggestions. And then it hit me—Jo Edwards, known to adult fiction readers as Johanna Edwards, had written a young adult novel. I grabbed my library’s copy (although I plan to purchase my own and ask Johanna to sign it for me) and got to reading. This book was the perfect 100th Book of 2007 for me!

Kaitlyn Nichols is bored. Her life is dull—even with a father who is a secret agent. But, that all changes when he brings home Blaine. Blaine is 17 years old, super hot and needing protection from the bad guys due to his father’s business deals. Now Kaitlyn has a “cousin” who lives with her, goes to school with her and maybe loves her? Kaitlyn must protect Blaine from those bad guys—and the girls in her school! But can Kaitlyn protect herself from love?

Looking for a great read? This is it! Enjoy a light romantic comedy on a cool evening!
