Entangled Teen Crush
When
Caleb Gray heads to the Texas coast to mentally prepare for a future
he isn’t sure he wants, the last person he expects to see is Catie
Dixon. Yeah, their mothers have been planning their wedding since
they were born, but he and Catie are most definitely not friends. He
can’t see her as anything but the annoying kid who followed him
everywhere. Except, it’s really bothering him that everyone is
staring at her in that bikini…
Catie
got over her crush on Caleb ages ago. So why can’t she see past his
ripped body or how unsettled he seems? She’s got her own problems,
though. Her future has been set for years and now she’s dreaming of
pulling the plug. A week at their families’ beach house is just
what she needs to pull herself together, and she has no intention of
letting Caleb back into her heart...which would be a whole lot easier
if he’d put on a shirt.
But
a forced week of togetherness full of beach parties, waterslide
mishaps, bonfires, and roller coasters sparks more than an
understanding. What do you do when the person standing in the way of
your future is the one person you grew up hating...but now don’t?

The world of … (World Building)
Hi
there, thanks so much for having me on the blog to celebrate my
latest book from Entangled!
In my new book, Stuck With You, we leave the fictional town of
Edinburgh, Florida (where the first two books of the three books I’ve
written for Entangled were set) and head across the Gulf of Mexico to
the real location of Crystal Beach, Texas with main character Caleb
Gray.
This was an easy and fun world to build for me, since I live about an
hour from Crystal Beach in suburban Houston. I was also excited to
set this in a beach community, since hanging out on the beach for a
week or two is my idea of the perfect vacation. Until I started to
write the book, though, I had not spent much time in Crystal Beach,
so I had to do a little reconnaissance trip. (I know, darn, right?)
My husband and I stayed in an adorable rental and spent quality time
exploring the kitsch-ier parts of the area, like Fun Spot waterslide,
Swede’s convenience store and The Big Store (actual name and
totally fitting!)
One of the most impressive things about this area of Texas is that
much of the Crystal Beach community was wiped away during Hurricane
Ike in 2008. Some houses were just completely, totally gone. You
wouldn’t know it today, just eleven years later. Entire
neighborhoods have been rebuilt and fortified to new building code
specs, which will hopefully allow them to withstand the next storm.
I loved setting the story basically in my own Texas backyard. I hope
you enjoy reading it and enjoy spending a romantic and wild week at
the beach with main characters Caleb and Catie.
Thanks again!

cultivated in a house full of books. Stories like The Little House
series, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Island of the Blue
Dolphins and The Secret Garden, filled her imagination and fueled her
dreams to be a writer. That dream came true when her first young
adult novel, THE SWEETEST THING, was published in 2011, and she’s
beyond thrilled about her upcoming series for Entangled Crush. Chris

good cup of coffee!) She also enjoys shopping, traveling and eating,
especially cake. Always cake. When she’s not doing these things,
you can find her holed in a cozy spot with her laptop, writing. Visit
