I am eagerly waiting for...
My Super Sweet Sixteenth CenturyRachel HarrisSeptember 11 2012
On the precipice of her sixteenth birthday, the last thing lone wolf Cat Crawford wants is an extravagant gala thrown by her bubbly stepmother and well-meaning father. So even though Cat knows the family’s trip to Florence, Italy, is a peace offering, she embraces the magical city and all it offers. But when her curiosity leads her to an unusual gypsy tent, she exits . . . right into Renaissance Firenze.
Thrust into the sixteenth century armed with only a backpack full of contraband future items, Cat joins up with her ancestors, the sweet Alessandra and protective Cipriano, and soon falls for the gorgeous aspiring artist Lorenzo. But when the much-older Niccolo starts sniffing around, Cat realizes that an unwanted birthday party is nothing compared to an unwanted suitor full of creeptastic amore.
Can she find her way back to modern times before her Italian adventure turns into an Italian forever?
Why am I waiting for it?
I've only read a few 'historicals' so far, but me likey. I had the opportunity to participate in the first cover reveal of this one, and we could post an excerpt of the book. What I read convinced me that I MUST read this, if only to meet the gorgeous Lorenzo. Also, I'm torn between old and new cover. Old I loved the dress, new I love the landscape but not the dress. Sigh.
