The Boys Next Door by Jennifer Echols


Cute, available, and one cabin over.... Lori lives for summertime on the lake. She spends all season wakeboarding, swimming, and hanging with her friends—including the two hotties in the house next door. With the Vader brothers, Lori's always been one of the guys. But while Lori and the "baby" brother, Adam, are inseparable friends, she can't deny a secret crush on Sean, the older Vader boy. This year Sean's been paying Lori a lot of attention, and not in a brotherly way. But just as Lori decides to prove to Sean she's girlfriend material, she realizes that her role as girl friend to Adam may be even more important. And by trying so hard for the perfect summer romance, she could be going way overboard...



Out of all of Jennifer Echols’ books *which is all but one* I think this is one of my list favorites. Don’t get me wrong, I still loved it. But, it just seemed a bit predictable. Every time I guessed what would happen next, I was right. In some cases I think that that is a good thing, but in this case it isn’t.
The Boys Next Door was a good ole’ fashion romantic comedy novel. It’s hard not to like them because they are all the joys of a soap opera- in a book.
Me being a California Girl, loved the beach scene. It was a magical setting that made the book flow well. The descriptions were magnificent as well as the characters. I have yet to find a book written by Jennifer Echols’ that I dislike.
