Synopsis
How to Run a Resort:
• Make sure employees arrive on time with a positive attitude. (check)
• Remember that the customer is always right. (check)
• Keep your boyfriend and your most valuable guest from trying to kill each other. (oops)
Celeste Tippen can't imagine a more perfect summer. Her boyfriend, Travis, has a job at her family's resort, which means lots of quality couple time. Unfortunately, she forgot about Nick Saunders, the hot son of the resort's wealthiest customers. Every year, Nick flirts with Celeste, and apparently this year is no different, despite the boyfriend who's watching their every move. She assures Travis that hanging out with the resident bad boy is the last thing she wants to do. If only she believed that herself....
Children's Literature
As Celeste spends her summer working at her parent's ritzy Palm Springs resort, her focus is primarily on keeping Travis and Nick from fighting over her. With the stress of keeping control of Travis, keeping the guests at Pinyon Ranch happy, especially their most loyal and influential customers—which just so happen to include Nick's family—and keeping her own father at bay, Celeste is in need of some support. Devon, her best friend who is usually always there to keep Celeste sane in times of drama, is in Scotland taking acting classes. This summer a prestigious film festival is being held at Pinyon and its guests include top-notch Hollywood types. It is the biggest thing to happen to Celeste's family and it could mean future success or ultimate failure. Faced with juggling the happiness of everyone around her and the success of her family's business, Celeste finally looks beyond designer labels, at least for a moment, to figure out what she wants. This is a teen beach-read romance novel where you spend your time waiting for Celeste to catch up to the evitable, that she is with the wrong guy. It does have some cursing and scenes of underage drinking. Reviewer: Renee Farrah

September 16, 2009: Celeste thinks her summer will be horrible, spending it all without her boyfriend. It will give them a little time to test out the long distance relationship, which might be a good thing since he's heading to college in the fall. But when Travis pulls a prank at graduation, he's left to deal with the consequences - which have him working at Celeste's family resort. She's gearing up for the perfect summer with her boyfriend until she remembers the summer guests. There's one summer guest in particular, Nick. Last summer they flirted all season and might have hooked up once or twice. When he arrives, Celeste makes sure to tell him about Travis, but that doesn't really stop Nick from flirting with her. Celeste loves her boyfriend except when he's being a jealous idiot. Travis is furious about Celeste buttering up to Nick. But she can't help it - it's part of her job. Will this be a summer to remember for Celeste, or one to forget?
I loved this book. It's a great summer romances that makes you feel the heat of the sun and it's filled with drama, boys, and having a good time. The covers of Hailey Abbott's books are always eye catching and fun. Although the cover of Flirting with Boys doesn't really match the story or the characters.
