Beach Town Bad Boy

“I told my heart to quit being a wuss and remain calm. It didn't listen.”

I'm happy that Maggie Dallen's entry in this multi-author series is a crossover with her Briarwood High series, especially since I've “met” the heroine Eleanor before in The Candy Cane Kiss.

I can relate to Eleanor's struggle with her Goody Two-shoes image and her trying to “be everything to everyone” until she feels lost. And I'm glad that she figures out a way back to herself. :)
What I like about Deacon is that he's not Mr. Perfect, and he has struggles of his own, but eventually he turns out to be Mr. Perfect-for-Ellie.

4/5 swoony stars :)
