She thinks that Sean is the one for her because of something her mother said to her about twelve years ago.

She’s a total tomboy who has absolutely no idea how to flirt or be feminine or anything! But now that she’s turning 16 she’s determined to be noticed by Sean Vader, who is two years older, has just graduated and will be off to college in the summer.

During the summer she works at the Vader’s marina store and wakeboards with the Vader’s and her brother in her spare time. Lori lost her mother when she was younger and was raised by her father, a nanny/au pair named Frances and spent most of her time hanging out with her older brother Bill (who is known by the nickname McGillicuddy) and the three boys next door, Adam, Sean and Cameron Vader. In The Boys Next Door we meet Lori who is about to turn 16. I’m going to review them both together in this post, but talk about them separately, if that makes sense. If you’re going to read them, it’s best to read them in order ( The Boys Next Door first and then Endless Summer). I agree that it makes the book look much older (and, uh, sexier).These two books are published together in my version. Thanks, Jenn! I love that they combined both books into one - reader bonus! And I think the new cover is gorgeous with all that blue sky and the red title treatment. In other words, it's perfect, I had no changes to suggest, and I couldn't ask for more.' And I have to say, this cover is a little eerie-in a good way, because it looks awfully familiar. 'I grew up on a beautiful lake in Alabama, and Endless Summer is based on my experiences there. In fact, the sales department loved it so much that they moved up the release of the book from August to May. 'And then they changed it! And we all loved the new cover (below).

I think covers have moved away from the cartoon, and it now looks younger than my books really are. I thought it was adorable like my other cartoon covers, but I had heard the look of the books might be changing in the future, and I wished they had changed mine. Here's Jenn, and she's got a whopper of a cover change to show!

Look for a sweet and hot love triangle with the Vader Brothers next door during Lori's summer at the lake. The lovely Jennifer Echols is here as part of her Girlfriend Cyber Circuit tour! Her book, Endless Summer, is a repackaging of two previous books - The Boys Next Door and Endless Summer.
