Acknowledgements

If you are reading this book, thank you. The publishing industry has changed and readers are now the ones with the power. They have the power to take a self-published unknown author, like me a year ago, and turn her books into Amazon best sellers and a Top Rated Romance Series. I’m very grateful and can’t thank you all enough for your wonderful emails, messages on Goodreads, tweets, and facebook posts. And most of all, for telling your friends about my books. That is the ultimate compliment for an author.

A huge thank you to Tameri Etherton and Jessica Miremadi for spending a day exploring Malibu with me. We visited the places Keatyn would shop, ate at restaurants described in the book, got to see a few celebrities, snuck onto the beach in the private Malibu Colony, talked to surfers, and drank cocktails over looking the ocean. Jessica also gets special kudos for being an amazing beta reader and for becoming as obsessed with Polyvore as I am.

Because this is the first in a six book series, I relied heavily on feedback from beta readers. Thanks so much to Jessica Miremadi, Jaymie Lynn McBryan, Beth Suit, Kelley Edler, Ellen Spivey, Judith Tanini, Mollie Harper, Heidi Bennett, Mom, Kenzie, and Chelsea Gurley. You helped shape this book into what it is today. Thank you.

I also want to thank a few groups that have been so supportive. You know who you are, and I can’t thank you all enough for your advice, support, hot guy photos, and love of reading: Destiny Makers, Hot Damn Sexy Authors, and Bookaholics Anonymous. I also want to personally thank authors Abbi Glines, Tammara Webber, Diane Capri, Steena Holmes, Lani Wendt Young, and Tracey Garvis-Graves. You are amazing women who I greatly admire. Thank you for always replying when I ask for advice! Y’all are rockstars! A big thank you also goes out to my writer’s group: Nigel Blackwell, David N. Walker, Tiffany A. White, Mary Morgan, and Charity Kountz. I love our laid-back Saturday mornings at B&N.

And my support team: Rebecca Peters-Golden, I hit the jackpot on editors when I met you. Thanks for making this book professional and curbing my exclamation point and CAPITALS habits!!!!!!! Doug Henke-Miller, for fighting internet piracy and converting my books into e-formats. Steena Holmes for designing the pretty covers. And my daughter, Kenzie, who is the best assistant ever. My social media, blog, and life in general would fall apart if it weren’t for all you do.

And lastly, to my family. As always, you mean the world to me.

You know, being friends with two cute boys does have its benefits.

There's Danny. Danny is a golden boy in every way. He has dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair that always looks perfect. He's the boy every girl crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with and fight with. The hot quarterback no girl can resist. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for. He's pretty much irresistible.

Equally crush worthy is Phillip. Adorable, sweet Phillip. He has dark hair, a perfect smile, brown eyes, and the sexiest voice. He's the boy I talk to every night before I go to sleep. The boy who rescues me and tries to keep me out of trouble. The boy who irritatingly keeps getting hotter, and whose strong arms always seem to find their way around me. And when he gives me that grin, I can never say no.

One boy will give me my very first kiss.

One boy will teach me to make out.

One boy will take me to prom.

And finally, one boy will ask me to marry him.

They will both be my best friends.

But only one of them will be the boy I fall in love with.

Only one of them is That Boy.

Read That Boy
