Love Happens

by Elizabeth Chandler

Although Jeff Danzig and Quinn Eaton come from entirely different worlds, they look so much alike that people at Maplecrest Prep think they're brothers. So when Quinn's parents ask him to cancel his ski trip to spend winter break with some old family friends, he has the perfect way he gets Jeff to go in his place. As soon as he steps into the rich, cultured world of the Bellaires, Jeff regrets ever agreeing to Quinn's plan...until he meets beautiful Emily Bellaire, and falls instantly into the perfect winter romance. There's only one Emily thinks he's Quinn. Jeff wants to be with Emily more than anything--but will revealing his true identity mean losing his true love?

Reviews

[Big Book Theory · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read Kissed by an Angel by Elizabeth Chandler, and enjoyed it far more than I enjoyed this book.

It felt almost like a Mills & Boons type of story, but for young adults.

It was nice though just to read about Jeff and Emily and not have the anticipated anxiety of what could happen, if this or that happened.

The book is a quick read, and moved fast. Perhaps too fast, because I never really felt a romantic connection between Jeff and Emily. I was more interested in the relationship between Harper and Lonnie.

I liked this book. Especially because it's been nice to experience first love through a guy. It was a fun, light read. It's not too memorable but it was fine. I'm sure it'll have a bigger appeal on 13-year-old girls who just recently got interested in boys.

This was my first ever romance novel and i picked it because of the cover. The dude resembled Tom Cruise and Brad Pit so naturally i had to read it. I am very glad that i did because it was an excellent read by Elizabeth Chandler!!

My twelve-year-old self’s possible rating. This was the first book I ever read, given to me by a suitor, that started my love for reading. It has to be in here though I wouldn’t touch the genre now with a twelve-foot pole.
