***

Summerlypse


Genre: YA Contemporary (adventure/romance)

Release date: June 20th 2016



Summary from Goodreads:



After his crush rejects him, seventeen-year-old Colton catches a plane to Mexico, hoping to forget all about girls. But a night out at a dance club crowded with long legs in miniskirts doesn't help, especially when he meets the club's beautiful DJ, Alex.

In awe of her mixing skills, Colton finds it hard to believe Alex is deaf. As they bond, she asks him to help her win a DJ contest behind her rich, estranged father's back.


Colton's not a wimp or anything, but millionaires with armed bodyguards are 
not his ideal vacation buddies. The only problem—if he helps her, he may fly back home in a body bag.
