When all signs point to heartbreak, can love still be a rule of the road? A poignant and romantic novel from the author of Bittersweet and Twenty Boy Summer.
Jude has learned a lot from her older sisters, but the most important thing is this: The Vargas brothers are notorious heartbreakers. She’s seen the tears and disasters that dating a Vargas boy can cause, and she swore an oath—with candles and a contract and everything—to never have anything to do with one.
Now Jude is the only sister still living at home, and she’s spending the summer helping her ailing father restore his vintage motorcycle—which means hiring a mechanic to help out. Is it Jude’s fault he happens to be cute? And surprisingly sweet? And a Vargas?
Jude tells herself it’s strictly bike business with Emilio. Her sisters will never find out, and Jude can spot those flirty little Vargas tricks a mile away—no way would she fall for them. But Jude’s defenses are crumbling, and if history is destined to repeat itself, she’s speeding toward some serious heartbreak…unless her sisters were wrong?
Jude may have taken an oath, but she’s beginning to think that when it comes to love, some promises might be worth breaking.

Why I'm waiting: I'm on a bit of a contemporary kick lately, and this book sounds awesome. I mean, c'mon....there are definitely going to be consequences to swearing an oath not to date a certain boy or boys. ;) Regretfully, I haven't read anything by this author to-date, but I do have Bittersweet on my shelf. It sounds equally as cute, so while I'm waiting on this book to release, I'm hoping I can play a bit of catch up and finally get to Bittersweet.
What are you waiting on this week? Feel free to share it in the comments or leave a link so I can stop by!
Sarah Ockler? I'm SO there. Awesome pick for WOW, Jen! This reminds me I'll have to bug the lovely peeps at S&S soon. ;)
