Okay, talk about lusty romance. This book is the definition of it. Not in a inappropriate way of course, but in a precious, sweet way that you want to savor till the last bit. It's basically a historical romance (yes, my favorite) because it incorporates both history (which is the educational aspect) and romance (which is pleasure) so both mixed together is perfect!
Basically this is about a young woman named Amelia who goes to stay with her cousin Zora over the summer. (This book is based in the Victorian times by the way). Zora practically changes her cousins life. Well, indirectly anyways. When a group of men come to visit the girls (Zora, Amelia, and their friends) it seems like the sun has split in two for Amelia. (Almost literately). Nathanial Witherspoon was a young gentleman who visited, and who seemed completely entranced with Amelia, as she with him. It almost seemed like they were...meant for each other! Well, they actually were meant for each other.
Amelia discovers (with the help of Nat) that she has a special ability to portend the future. She says the sunset splits in two, reliving the following days, and she just sees...well, the future! Nathaniel also has a special ability. He can defy the forces of air. He says that's his "element". That's actually what this series is called--the elements series. Basically Amelia is the fire and Nathanial is the air (that's why I said they are literally meant for each other) but this love Amelia and Nathanial have for each other is actually forbidden...so that's what makes it so amazing!
Please read this amazing romance--you will savor every last bit!

Prom and Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg
Oh. My. God. This book is absolutely amazing! I read Pride and Prejudice by Ms. Austen, and I have to say, this is a hilarious, cute, amazing spoof of it. Of course it's kind of given that in order to get all the inside jokes from the book, you have to read Pride and Prejudice first (or if you're too lazy at least know the plot by watching the movie)
Basically, there is no point in reading this post if you don't know the plot of the original Pride and Prejudice, that's how similar it is too the classic. Okay, so there is an Elizabeth (of course) but instead she's a scholarship student in a filthy rich school called Loungborn Academy. (yes, I know, hilarious) and instead of Jane being her sister, she's actually her best best best best friend/roommate. Lydia's Jane's really immature lil' sister, and she also goes to Loungborn. Believe it or not, Elizabeth (Lizzie) actually hates Loungborn. Everyone there (with the exception of Jane) seems to be haughty and rude. Lizzie's had to put up with a strawberry smoothie being thrust onto her face, people scribbling "Hobos not wanted" on her dorm door, and daily snide remarks at school. Man, if I were Elizabeth, I'd give up at the first moment. But you know Lizzie, she's not like that! She has a very strong character (haha not to mention prejudiced) and can put up with a lot of things. Okay, so you probably are wondering how she meets Mr. Darcy! Well, Jane begs Lizzie to go to the reception at Loungborn, so Lizzie goes (but only for Jane). Jane wants her to see Mr. Bingley, the absolute love of her life. Lizzie goes, and guess who she meets along with the friendly Charles? The disdainful Will Darcy! Well of course when Will first meets Lizzie, he's all friendly and normal, but then, he discovers that she's a scholarship student and immediately turns black on her. Lizzie is disgusted with his sudden change of manner and decides (with prejudice) that Will Darcy is just a flat out snob. Meanwhile, Will Darcy decides (with pride) that Lizzie Bennet is a flat out lowlife. Of course, we know this is not true and both Lizzie and Will are simply being impulsive and have a certain degree of pride or prejudice.
Well, I'll stop the description there, so you can just sense the awesomeness of it till it overwhelms you so much so that you have to read the book. (Yeah, just wait till Mr. Wickham comes into the picture) I have witnesses to show that this book is awesome and it really is! Also Caroline Bingley is hilarious, it's almost not funny it's so funny. But also, apart from that...there's this whole other side. It shows just how amazing Pride and Prejudice is; other amazing books can spring from one amazing book. It just shows what authors can do if they work together! (like the 39 Clues that was awesome) Well, anyway, please read this book it's really really really good I promise!
