Eileen Cook - 2012
She’s going to prove she’s not perfect by breaking a very big rule in a very public way…with a very unexpected partner in crime.

But even with her new bad-girl image, she still has to ask herself: How far is too far?
-------------------------------------

Watch out, Lauren Wood. Things are about to get bitchy.
Cupidity
Caroline Goode - 2004

And Laura Sweeney is no exception. She hasn't had a date since...well, ever. Desperate times call for desperate measures. So Laura is calling in the big guns. She needs guidance. A proven "get the guy" strategy. Luckily she knows exactly the expert to call. He's a matchmaking mastermind who actually has the bow and arrow to prove it. Let's just call him...Cupid.
Let it Snow
John Green - 2008
Well, kinda. After all, a cold and wet hike from a stranded train through the middle of nowhere would not normally end with a delicious kiss from a charming stranger.

Or that the way back to true love begins with a painfully early morning shift at Starbucks. Thanks to three of today’s bestselling teen authors—John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle—the magic of the holidays shines on these hilarious and charming interconnected tales of love, romance, and breathtaking kisses.Alternate cover edition for B006MOW98E
