Kissing Brendan Callahan

By Susan Amesse

Like many girls who read, Sarah wants to be a writer -- a best-selling author of romances. Her plan is to enter a local teen writing contest to be judged by romance writer Antonia DeMarco (author of "Enraptured Thorns in My Heart") and win first place by dazzling Antonia with her passionate and soulful writing. What could go wrong? Mom won't let Sarah enter the contest, that's what. Then along comes Brendan Callahan, a rule-breaking boy she has never liked. Will Sarah let Brendan teach her to stand up for herself?

Customer Reviews

Fun from beginning to end!

The heroine Sarah is a spunky, lively and creative writer and princess wannabe. When her favorite author comes to town to judge the writing contest that she's been forbidden to enter, the adventures start to roll. Filled with funny, quirky, yet believable characters, surprising plot twists, lively dialogue, and let's not forget a spicy kiss or two, this book is just plain fun to read.

A very good book!

Fast-moving and well-written, with lots of fun jokes, a believable heroine to sympathize with, well-drawn characters, a good moral, and, of course, heart-stopping kissing. Perfect for learning how to be more independent, how to be responsible, what to do when people kiss you, and generally how to be 12 or so and not explode. More books from Susan Amesse eagerly awaited!
