Trading Faces by Ann Herrick

What if you went to sleep plain 
and woke up beautiful--or vice versa?


An "Ugly Betty" and a Popular Beauty wind up trading faces--and lives--and the situation is not what either one expected!

When 15-year-old Darcy Doane wakes up as Cybil Sheffield, she is thrilled. Cybil is everything Darcy has ever wanted to be. Pretty. Popular. Only... all the attention isn't exactly what Darcy expected. Especially when her own brother, Joey, is crushing on her. Gross.  But then there's Devon, the real Cybil's boyfriend....

Cybil is shocked when she looks in the mirror and sees a face she totally doesn't recognize. She thought not always being the center of attention might be a good thing, but being invisible is hardly bearable. Even her boyfriend, Devon, looks right through her! How can she survive when the only people (except a family of strangers) who even know she's alive are three dipsticks she can't remember ever seeing before? And why hasn't she ever noticed her new "brother," Joey, before?

With the school play, potential boyfriends and an A-List party coming up, Darcy and Cybil have a lot to work out. There's a learning curve for both of them, especially after they are caught fighting at school and forced by the principal to help her at a Return-to-Work project for displaced women.

Trouble is, how do they get their own lives back? And who ends up with what guy?

Review:  5 STARS

"Who hasn't wished for the impossible? To be in someone else's shoes? To have what someone else possesses? Life is always greener on the other side, right? But how many people get their wish? When Darcy and Cybil wonder what it would be like to live a life totally different from the one they live now, their wishes come true...
..a fun read that explores an old idea of wanting to be someone else. This universal theme of switching places takes a fresh turn when romance is introduced and Darcy and Cybil realize that what they wanted was right in front of them the whole time. Good read!"

Hey, Nobody's Perfect by Ann Herrick


"...a skillfully written teen romance..."



Insulting a guy in a wheelchair--is that any way to start a romance?

Life was complicated enough for Sivia before Keeley came into her life.

Her parents' divorce did not wipe out their traditional family values. Dad is still way too self-centered, Mom is still resentful, Russ is still shoving food into his mouth and Sivia doesn't need any more drama. But when the new student, obnoxious and legless Keeley, becomes her project partner, her life becomes even more complicated. Family friction, peer pressure and her overly controlling father are threats to her budding relationship--but prejudices she never knew she had and doesn't want to acknowledge are the biggest hurdle of all.

Hey, Nobody's Perfect is a story about serious issues told with both sensitivity and humor.

Reviews:

"Hey, Nobody's Perfect is a skillfully written teen romance which embraces the hallmark coming-of-age issues that beset most youth. This book is filled with honesty, tenderness, humor, and serious moments that will appeal to teens and adults alike."

"...a story about overcoming adversity and going after what you want.This was a great story that packed a lot of powerful messages.Blended with a great supporting cast and a good plot, make this a must read for any young adult!"

How to Survive a Summer Romance (or Two) by Ann Herrick

Here's a Kindle Romance Novel for only $2.99 / £1.92!



Can Kaysie have a summer romance with Troy and still remain true to Brian? After all, Brian did tell her to have a fling or two while she was on vacation! But what happens when feelings and hormones collide? Can Kaysie trust her heart to stay on track? And how is she going to keep an eye on her mother and Troy's father--who just happens to be Mom's former summer romance? How did fun in the summer sun get so complicated, anyway?

***
I so never planned on having a summer romance. And I totally never expected my mother to have one. I mean, she's such a relic that her husband is actually my father.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. I want to tell this story before I forget it. After all, in just a few short years I'll be in my twenties and I'll start losing ten thousand brain cells a day.

So, near as I can remember, this is the beginning …
 
Reviews:

"...a charming young adult novel about love and identity....a spunky heroine takes charge of her life, makes mistakes, dusts herself off, and tries again. Kevin, her heartthrob, is both believable and appealing. The plot moves quickly with enough twists and turns to keep readers guessing about whether-and with whom-Mattie will find true love ...."
~ Debra Stang, eBook Reviews Weekly

"...a plot that is big on empowerment for the female teen, while exploring the conflicting emotions, uncertainty, and dreams that are prevalent in those "between" years... a story about a young woman who has character, a sense of compassion, strong commitment, determination, and understanding beyond her years. We see the questions about ethics, compassion and morality arise and how they are handled. This is a very good portrayal of the teen years, addressing some of the issues that are faced, the challenges and opportunities that can arise, and the choices that are made....
~ Kim Green-Spangler, Womenonwriting.com

"...a great insight into the insecurities, hopes, dreams, and confusion of being a teenager, and the self-acceptance and realization that not all is how it appears to be at first. Mattie is self-conscious over her appearance, little realizing that her true beauty has been shining forth all the time - even without the weight loss and haircut. The new look just gives her the self-confidence to hold her head high and let the "real" Mattie shine forth. She realizes that even guys, and the "popular" kids, have insecurities and fears of their own...I found it to be entertaining, and...I plan on reading more of Ms. Herrick's books in the future."
