Product Description
NOTE TO SELF: Remind me to have my head examined. What exactly possessed me to come home to Millbrook, Maine, where nothing changes but the weather? Oh, right. A six-month grant to do genetics research at Rand laboratories. What can I sayIm a smart girl. And smart girls get what they need and get out again. Smart girls dont dream, they settle. And smart girls do not get completely tongue-tied while holding a basket of fried clams when they bump into the most gorgeous man they havent seen in fifteen years: Chase Jordan. Remind me to have my hormones removed. Chase Jordan. Town bad boy. Rebel with a cause to show up in my dreams unannounced. Oh boy, this is not good. Not smart. Its like high school all over again. But in a good way. A heart-thumping way. An I-have-no-idea-whats-going-to-happen way. A way thats making me feel like maybe settling for what I have isnt so smartbut really going after what I want is the craziest thing I may ever do...

You'll WANT this book and the other 2 too! October 9, 2008
The Stepp sister trilogy is absolutely wonderful. One of the few series of books that actually made me feel emotion. It's well written and the stories are all five star. You won't regret this purchase!
I feel like I have a high school crush again! June 27, 2008

Most romance novel heroes have a bit of everything....looks, charm, bad boy tendencies, and a bit of reformation in store for them. Chase Jordan has all that and more. He is the best hero that I've read for sometime. I kinda have a crush on him (a fictional character no less!)
This is one of those books that everyone who's ever been to high school can relate to. High school is such a difficult time. Clicks, out of place teens, popular students, geeks, athletes, labels...yuck. This book dives right into these tough memories as the smart, geeky, valedectorian Abby Stepp returns to Millbrook, Maine to do some research and is living next to her high school crush (the popular badboy)!
Abby has a lot of forgiving to do. She was poorly treated in high school and has many hard and hurt feelings surrounding her treatment. Chase also has difficult memories and regrets his behavior from high school. The question is "can he get Abby to forgive and forget".
I loved this book. It was deeply sensual but emotional as well. Both Abby and Chase have work to do...accepting themselves for who they are and learning how to love each other and themselves. I found myself devouring this book with a silly grin on my face the whole time. Chase is such a gentleman and a GENTLE MAN. He is the stuff dreams are made of, and when Abby's dream comes true, I for one was cheering on the sidelines.
Read this one!

I finished reading all of Kathy Love's vampire series books and was happy to have found her Stepp sister's trilogy. I have purchased, but have not yet read the last two books, but I'm sure I will not be disappointed as I really enjoyed this book. For me, I was able to relate with the characters immediately (who didn't have a crush on a boy in high school that you thought you could never get?). Fun, easy read and I highly recommend her other books.
One for the Stepp sisters! March 5, 2008

High school can either be one of the greatest of your life or it can be Hell on Earth...for Abby Stepp it was complete Hell. Born poor and incredibly intelligent she was constantly ridiculed for her intelligence. The subject of many cruel names and jokes,she believes that she'll never have the one person she truly wants: Bad boy Chase Jordan. So imagine her surprise when she returns to Millbrook to find she's the object of his affections.
Chase Jordan was Millbrook High's classic bad boy. Good looking with a huge chip on his shoulder,getting any girl he wants. Never did he think he would find Abby Stepp the attractive woman she today. After each meeting,he's consumed with thoughts of her...Can the bad boy of Millbrook keep a huge secret from the intelligent woman he's growing to love?
I loved this book so much. It was a great story of how people can change and how time can heal old wounds. If you're a fan of the underdog you will definitely love this series about the Stepp sisters. Awesome job,Kathy Love...you've got yourself a new fan.
Great Fun! December 29, 2007
