ROMANCE
THE ROMEO CLUB is Hitch meets The Secret of My Success.
What happens when you agree to help your brother “de-nerdify” so he can catch the attention of the popular Chloe Anders, and to everyone's surprise, he actually lands her?
And what if his equally geeky friends come running with girl wish lists of their own, offering money for your services?
Well, if you’re sixteen-year-old, Delyla Denson, then you start The Romeo Club. A secret club where she’ll teach these guys how talk, act, and be cool around girls. It’s a win-win situation.
She’ll get enough money for the awesome prom dress she’s had her eye on, and the guys, well, they’ll get dates and maybe learn how to do something other than beat the next level on their video games.
There are only two problems with this plan. One, her quarterback/track star boyfriend is getting jealous of how much time she’s spending away from him and decides to try and figure out what’s going on. And two, Delyla is kind of falling for her brother’s BFF, Trey who she’s been hanging out with a lot more. And who thanks to her help, has caught the attention of the beautiful, perfect, and popular, Portia Rickard. With Portia and Trey heating up, Delyla realizes that maybe the person she’s meant to be with has been in front of her all this time.
But falling for Trey means she’ll have to take drastic measures including sabotage, with a capital S.
Delyla
can make your dreams come true – transforming you into the best person that you
can be and getting the dream of your dreams.
It
all started when her brother asked her for help to ‘de-nerdify’ him so he can
get the attention of the popular girl, Chloe Anders – and with her magic wand
(a little bit of talent and hard work), he actually lands her.
Now,
his group of friends who is equally nerdy as him came in for help, offering
money for her services. With the goal of that beautiful prom dress she could
never afford, and yes helping these bunch of nerds out of the goodness of her
heart, she agreed. Hence, The Romeo Club was formed. Its objectives includes
teaching these guys how to talk, act and be cool around girls.
They
get the girls. She gets the dress.
What
she didn’t expect was to suddenly have these feelings for one of them – problem
is though 1) she has a boyfriend: a popular jock who is getting jealous and
maybe a little pissed of how she is spending less and less time with him 2)
Trey (yes, that’s the name of the guy) is going on a date with the girl he
wanted, the beautiful and popular Portia.
Is
it too late to finally see that the person who was meant for her was just
standing in front of her for the longest time that she was too blind to
see?
You
will laugh, tear up a little, cheer for our characters and adore that dog who
keeps on messing on Delyla’s life, and bringing all the naughtiness in this
story.
The
promise of the novel being HITCHED meeting The Secret of my Success proves
true. I really enjoyed the story, had pleasure in watching these ugly ducklings
turning into a full-pledge swan, and even Delyla standing up for herself after
the club was exposed and ugly rumors flew around. The ending was just
wonderful, I didn’t see that ‘plan’ coming along. I thought I had it figured
out already, but CC and the rest of the gang still surprised me.
If
you enjoy clean, fun, and great young adult romance – you would hate to miss
this.
