  Welcome to Jenuine Cupcakes This is my stop on the Dirty Little Secret Blog Tour About the Book Author: Jennifer Echols Publication: July 16, 2013 By: MTV Books  4.5 Stars!  Bailey wasn’t always a wild child and the black sheep of her family. She used to play fiddle and tour the music circuit with her sister, Julie, who sang and played guitar. That ended when country music execs swooped in and signed Julie to a solo deal. Never mind that Julie and Bailey were a duet, or that Bailey was their songwriter. The music scouts wanted only Julie, and their parents were content to sit by and let her fulfill her dreams while Bailey’s were hushed away. Bailey has tried to numb the pain and disappointment over what could have been. And as Julie’s debut album is set to hit the charts, her parents get fed up with Bailey’s antics and ship her off to granddad’s house in Nashville. Playing fiddle in washed-up tribute groups at the mall, Bailey meets Sam, a h...

Thank you Katelyn at Tales of Books and Bands for hosting  Jennifer Echols Week. Today is all about the cover love and Jennifer Echols has some fabulous covers. First, let me just say how jealous I am of all the eyelash action going on here. I spend a small fortune each year on mascara just to make it seem like I actually have eyelashes. And there was that time I glued my eye shut while trying to use the false kind, so yeah, totally jealous.  Anyway, here are my two absolute favorite Jennifer Echols YA covers and why....   There is no place I love more than the beach, which is where this story takes place, (Sand in the background, yay!) and I love the look on his face--the almost smile.    Her pierced brow and the way his lips brush her forehead.  Aaaand he's a man in uniform. *fans self*  What's your favorite Jennifer Echols cover?
