I see that Picture Perfect Boyfriend and Love & Other Great Expectations are on this list! I love those books. But the author’s other books, Hearts Overboard and Love Unmasked are even better and just as clean.
Maybe the list could have 12 instead of 10 books 🙂
Yes, I love all of Becky Dean’s books! I guess I was just looking for books with warm summertime settings for this particular list. I highly recommend her books, though!
Just Friends by Haley Pham is a super cute and clean summer read also!!
Thanks for the suggestion! That one’s on my TBR!
