Pushing the Limits
By Katie McGarry
Release Date: 07/31/12
Book Description from Amazon:
"I won't tell anyone, Echo. I promise."
Noah
tucked a curl behind my ear. It had been so long since someone touched
me like he did. Why did it have to be Noah Hutchins?
His dark brown eyes shifted to my covered arms. "You didn't do that-did you? It was done to you?"
No one ever asked that question. They stared. They whispered. They laughed. But they never asked.
So wrong for each other...and yet so right.
No
one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl
with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on
her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible
night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.
But
when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black
leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and
surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never
have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets
they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.
Yet
the crazy attraction between themrefuses to go away. And Echo has to
ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk
for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

A Midsummer’s Nightmare
By Kody Keplinger
Release Date: 05/23/12
Book Description from Amazon:
Whitley
Johnson's dream summer with her divorce dad has turned into a
nightmare. She's just met his new fiancee and her kids. The fiancee's
son? Whitley's one-night stand from graduation night. Just freakin'
great.
Worse, she totally doesn't fit in with her dad's perfect new country-club family. So Whitley acts out. She parties. Hard. So hard she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose: a sweet little future stepsister who is just about the only person she's ever liked, a best friend (even though Whitley swears she doesn't "do" friends), and a smoking-hot guy who isn't her stepbrother...at least, not yet. It will take all three of them to help Whitley get through her anger and begin to put the pieces of her family together.
Filled with authenticity and raw emotion, Whitley is Kody Keplinger's most compelling character to date: a cynical Holden Caulfield-esque girl you will wholly care about.

While He Was Away
By Karen Schrek
Release Date: 05/01/12
Book Description from Goodreads:
"This is just something I have to do, okay?" I hear David say. "The right thing."
He cradles my face in his hands. He kisses me hard. Then he lets go of me. His eyes dart from me to whatever's next.
All she wants is for him to stay. She's been doing pretty well, pretending he doesn't have to go. But one day, after one last night to remember, she wakes up and there's no denying it anymore. He's gone.
When Penna Weaver's boyfriend goes off to Iraq, she's left facing life without him. As summer sets in, Penna tries to distract herself with work and her art, but the not knowing is slowly driving her crazy. Especially when David stops writing.
She knows in her heart he will come home. But will he be the same boy she fell in love with?

What a Boy Wants
By Nyrae Dawn
Release Date: 04/28/12
Book Description from Amazon:
Courtesy
of watching his mom’s relationships, Sebastian Hawkins knows what girls
need to do to get a guy. He has what he considers a PHD in hooking up.
When he needs extra cash for a car, Sebastian starts up an online
venture as The Hook-up Doctor, to anonymously help girls land the guy of
their dreams. Of course, his services don’t offer a happily-ever-after
guarantee. He’s seen firsthand getting together never means staying
together. And then he falls in love… With the last girl he would expect…
Totally not in his game plan. Suddenly, Sebastian finds himself muddled
in the game he’s always prided himself on. He can’t even pick up girls
at parties anymore! Why would anyone want to be in love when it turns
you into a stuttering, screwed-up, mess with really lame stalker
tendencies? Stalking? Totally not his gig. But the Hook-up Doctor won’t
let himself go down easily. He’s always known how to give a girl what
she wants and now it’s time to figure out what a boy wants… and he
definitely plans on getting it.
