Title: American Girl on Saturn (Saturn #1)
Author: Nikki Godwin
Date of Publication: August 29, 2013
Genre: contemporary YA romance
Blurb:
The summer after graduation is supposed to be that first real taste of freedom - but not for eighteen-year-old Chloe Branson. Just as that breeze of freedom is making its way into her galaxy, her secret-service-agent dad drops a meteor-sized bomb of bad news on her and her sisters. An attempt has been made on the lives of Canadian boyband, Spaceships Around Saturn, during their USA tour, and the guys have to go into hiding ASAP. The only problem? In the midst of the crisis and media frenzy, their dad volunteered to hide the guys...in their house.
Six-year-old Emery is as ecstatic as any self-proclaimed Saturnite would be, but Chloe and her seventeen-year-old sister Aralie watch their summer plans crash and burn like a falling star. The SAS guys aren't happy with the situation, either. Bad boy Jules picks fights with Aralie about everything from his Twitter followers to his laundry, and heart-throb Benji can't escape Emery's fangirlisms for more than three minutes.
But after the super-cute Milo kisses Chloe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finally understands what Emery means when she talks about SAS being "out of this world." If this is what Saturn feels like, Chloe doesn't want to come back to Earth.

Excerpt
He
reaches toward the tray and grabs the lone Oreo. “Okay, this is my last one for
the night,” he says. “Half it with me?”
Seriously?
If I wasn’t the envy of every Saturnite in the world just by sitting across the
table from him, I’m definitely the envy of them
now because the Milo Grayson wants to half his precious Oreo with me. And the thing that sucks
the most is that no one knows about it to be jealous of me!
He
holds the cookie up and waits for a response.
“Yeah,
we can half it,” I say.
I reach
across the table for it, but he jerks his arm back. The sleeve of his T-shirt
hugs his bicep tightly, and oh how I wish to be that fabric.
“Not
so fast,” he says. “Let’s make it interesting.”
Could
this be any more interesting? Hello – you’re gorgeous and famous and sharing
cookies with me! Any more ‘interest’ and I might burst like a firework.
“If
you get the side with the cream, I’ll give you my honest male opinion about
your checkout line drama today,” he says. “But if I get the cream side, you
have to tell me, honestly, who you think the best looking guy is in Spaceships
Around Saturn.”
Oh
God. He’s for real. Does he know? He totally knows. He knows I’m lusting for
him from behind this glass of milk and tattoo magazine. He knows that his eyes
make me melt and that I clearly watch him on Twitter because I know all about
amazzzzzing. Now he wants to make me ‘fess up.
“Deal.”
I say it before I can chicken out.
I
can always lie and say Benji’s name. He’s the fan favorite anyway. Benji
Baccarini is Spaceships Around Saturn for so many
girls.
He
leans forward, positions himself over the table, and holds up that fated Oreo.
I push my glass of milk aside because the last thing I want is to knock it over
with my quivering nerves. Then I lean toward him, grip the cookie with my
fingers, and inhale every scent of his body wash that I can while I twist my
half of the Oreo away from his half.
