What are some books similar to her series Perfect Chemistry and Return to Paradise. I absolutely love both series and both guys in the series are amazing. I like that bad boy type of guy =)

Simone Elkeles is too unique. Haha, I dunno. I'm thinking...
Rena is right, Simone Elkeles is just too unique. I really can't think of anything like her stories. :)
Good I have Prefect chemistry in my book self at home it's good to hear its good!!
Ha, I remember reading that you didn't like it. I'm gonna give it a shot.
I was in the minority, so you will probably like it. I just did not like the stereotyping. I enjoyed Leaving Paradise more.
I just went and read your review of Perfect Chemistry and saw Leaving Paradise, I added it to my to-read shelf.
It's got a very high GR rating. I've put off reading it for so long because I am afraid it's going to fall into that 'Twilight' catagory where everyone seems to love it and all I can think about was how terribly it was written and how pourly executed it was.
I work with underprivileged youth, so have a lot of issues with Ms. Elkeles lack of authenticity. I realize they are cheesy fiction books, but she is way off the mark and for some reason it is hard for me to overlook.
i'm saving it for easy reach beach in the summer
That is completely understandable. I think in that case it would be driving me crazy too.

Kristina have you read all of her books??

Ahhahaha, Heidi. Nice to have us at clashing opinions again. I still haven't read Rules of Attraction.
I did really like Perfect Chemistry. I think I was quite happy in my make-believe world without you bursting my bubble!
Good on you for your work, I am planning to work in that area as well after I graduate!
