Ann Herrick

As a favor, Cathy eagerly agrees to pretend she is Dan's girlfriend for the summer when their families vacation at the same beach. With a background of sun, surf and sand, they develop a friendship that is on the verge of turning romantic, when who should arrive but Lisa Kendall, Dan's old girlfriend! In three days, Lisa ruins Cathy's relationship with Dan. In retaliation, Cathy feigns interest in Steve, Lisa's handsome older brother. But soon enough Cathy learns that a fake romance can get out of hand and pretending about her feelings leads to complications she never imagined.

Summer Replacement is a great teen love story: there is lots of angst, lots of funny moments, some steamy kisses, and a great heroine. Summer Replacement is a sunny romance fit for the beach and will make you want to remember your own first crush.  --Sarah, Fallen Angel Reviews

I enjoyed reading this story; it took me back to a time when I was a teenage girl and how confusing that period was. It is funny how the things we see so clearly when we're older are so muddled then. The author provides a nice breezy summer read. --Michelle Shealy, MyShelf.com

Ms. Herrick captured angst, laughter, and the trials of teenage life in this book. Cathy is the perfectly messed up 15 year-old in a loving family. She tries to grow-up too soon and too fast just like every other teen out there. A sweet and funny book that gives us a glimpse into teenage love lives. 4 Hearts, --Sara Sawyer, The Romance Studio
