Sometimes, even the best-laid plans can unravel.
It's spring break, and Tamara Winters would rather stay on campus and read romance novels than flaunt her size-fourteen body on a beach. But her best friend, Rony, has other ideas. Against her wishes, Tamara is whisked away to picturesque Maverick Bay, where she's wrangled into waiting tables with Rony at the Shore Shack for its busy week leading to Maverick's Surf Invitational. There she meets fellow schoolmate Xavier Solomon, the Invitational's organizer and campus womanizer by reputation. From the moment Tamara sees him emerging from the waves like a hero in of one of her romance novels, all she wants to do is run away from the feelings he inspires in her.
Little does she know Xavier has been watching her for weeks now. In fact, after failed attempts at asking her out on campus, he's concocted a crazy plan: fabricating romantic situations straight out of her favorite books. Xavier quickly realizes that if Tamara gets a whiff of his designs, he might as well spell CREEPER across his forehead. Yet as they grow closer, he's convinced it's a risk worth taking. What he hasn't planned on, of course, is his drug-addicted, alcoholic stepbrother, who decides to join the fun and put a wrench in Xavier’s scheme.
Spring break is proving hotter than Tamara expected. Will her romance novels be able to compete? 
Review
****I received an ARC of this book for
my honest review; my review is based on content only. The copy provided to me
was not the final copy.****
Tamara spends her life caught
up in her romance books; she is so oblivious to everything around her she
doesn't notice Xavier keeps trying to get her attention. Xavier concocts a plan
to get her to Maverick
Bay and have her notice
him. Once Tamara is there it seems that nothing will go as planned, even with
everything going wrong the two of them manage to get to know one another, but
what will happen when she finds out that what Xavier planned? I liked this
book, it was a good easy read, yes parts of it were kinda cheesy but that's ok
I like a little bit of that ever now and then. Xavier seems to be the guy who
has it all, girls want him, he is a great surfer and he has money. However, he
feels responsible for his alcoholic drug addict step brother and the only girl
he wants is Tamara. Tamara is a beautiful girl, but she spends all her time
reading books and doesn't connect with people. The two of them fit together
well and it was sweet how both of them opened up to each other. The secondary
characters, Zander, Hudson
and Ronni added some conflict and at times much needed support for the two main
characters. Romancing the Bookworm is a good quick read, the perfect cure for a
book hangover.
