I'm feeling Rachel Hawthorne-ish all over again.
As much as I like reading fiction romance, sometimes it's very 'relaxing' to switch from having to understand a complicated relationship to enjoying a typical teen romance, after all it's is more realistic and we could relate to them more.
Summer romance/fling has always been what I've read for non-fiction romance, but ever since Rachel Hawthorne's Snowed In and Love on the lifts, I started to develop a kind of preference to...more

This was my second Catherine Clark book and I really didn't like the 1st one as this is a teen romance and more of a fast food type of romance. Light and fluffy when I just want to read a quick feel good non thinking book. Icing on the Lake was much better than Better Latte than never. I liked the characters much better and felt as though I was connected with the male interests more. I was rooting for Conner and the book was pretty predicable but I was in the mood for it.

This is not a book for everyone. I am a lover of all books so this went well with me (Gee, I make it sound like some type of food). It was a cute little winter read that made me giggle and smile. These types of books, the one's that are cheesy and short, are the best for something different. A lot of YA novels usually, in some way or another, feature paranormal, magic, fantasy, something that does not exist in our world. The p...more

I thought this was a cute novel and I had to give it four stars. There were several reason's why I had to give it four stars. The main reason was I enjoyed reading about a relationship starting that wasn't based on lust. Does every relationship especially teen relationships have to be based upon that and be the main driving force. The couple that emerges from the story gets stranded in a truck during a winter storm. As they have to spend the night next to each other there is no making out. ...more
This was a cute story. Kirsten moves to Minneapolis for a month to help her sister, who has a broken leg. As soon as she arrives she meets the super cute Benson brothers. Sean is really cute and acts totally interested, while Conor is equally cute, but acts like he hates her. The story moved along quickly, nothing really exciting happened. I was kind of disappointed with how Kirsten handled the situation, but overall thought it was an okay story. It seems like most of the books I read lately hav...more

Kirsten moves to Minneapolis to help her recently divorced sister with a broken leg and a young child. She literally runs into the Benson brothers and falls for Sean. After a winter of sledding, skating, tubing, and cold walks, she starts to wonder if she's actually falling for the other brother, Conor. A very fluffy high school story.
Content: a handful of language; a boy and girl are forced to spend a night together due to a storm, but nothing happens.

This was the VERY first YA teen romace books i have ever read, and let me tell you... it got me HOOKED, ive been reading teen romance books ever since.
this book makes you explore love in different ways. to sum up this book, you basically fall in love with a person that you dont expect. i love this book, it is a light read and you'll find yourself tiggling with emotions over and over and over again. :)

If thrown together with the other books I've read, this one would definitely not be the one screaming "I'm your favorite!" However, I'm addicted to the light reads provided by Avon publishing. So when thrown together with other books of the same type, then it would have a better chance of getting noticed. These books are always my go-to when I need a quick read or I'm lounging on the boat.
AWESOME!
Before start reviewing it, I have to say that this plot has one thing that I love: when the main character (Kirsten) likes other guy and is not even aware of the "perfect guy" love and his hints of showing this to her.
This is exactly what happened here! Kirsten was very into Sean and absolutely clueless that who actually truly liked and cared about her was his brother, Conor (AWESOME), even though he kept showing her that he was much better.

Sweet, enjoyable, and cute. Catherine Clark writes a nice teen book that grabbed my attention from the very first page. I have read a lot of Clark's book and this is by far her best.
This book was pretty similar to the book Love on the Lifts. In both of the story's plot there was that guy that the girl originally liked. However later on in the story they end up falling for the guy that has been liking them all along.
I think this shows that love is blind. Or that you don't have to search for love and that it'll come eventually and naturally. I think that both books also show that friendships can lead to relationships because in both books the guy and the girl ...more

I think that i read this book a long time ago but im not quite positive this is the one
~It was pretty good in the beginning (also a little slow) but great ending.
Oh this was such a cute story. Predictable, but still very cute. I liked it.
For fans of Meg Cabot and Rachel Hawthorne, and even Kate Cann. 2/5 stars.
i thought the story was cute but kind of unoriginal. it was a quick breezy read.
Very much like damsel in distress more like it ... very charming.
i'm working on a teen romance list for work, but haven't actually read that many. i got this from someone else's list. it was so stupid. all of the characters were really immature, the humor was lame, and the actual romance part had no chemistry. disappointing.
this is a very good book that I highly recommend!!! (:
great, i read it in 3 hours. i ♥ conor!
It was really addicting :)
Pretty Good

Catherine Clark writes novels for smart readers and keeps a jounral for one very wise dog. She lives in Minneapolis, works in Saint Paul, and loves crossing the Mississippi River every day because it reminds her of home. Well, that was the Connecticut River, but anyway. Transitive property applies.
