Book: The Day BeforeAuthor: Lisa Schroeder
Release: June, 2011
Sometimes there's no turning back.
Amber's life is spinning out of control. All she wants is to turn up the volume on her iPod until all of the demands of her family and friends fade away. So she sneaks off to the beach to spend a day by herself.
Then Amber meets Cade. Their attraction is instant, and Amber can tell that he's also looking for an escape. Together they decide to share a perfect day: no pasts, no fears, no regrets.
The more time that Amber spends with Cade, the more she's drawn to him. And the more she's troubled by his darkness. Because Cade's not just living in the now--he's living each moment like it's his last.
I've read most of Lisa's other books and enjoyed them, so I'm definitely excited for this one!
Book: Crush Control
Author: Jennifer Jabaley
Release: June, 2011
Willow has spent most of her life as her mother's sidekick in a popular Las Vegas hypnotism show. So when she and her mom move back to their sleepy southern hometown to start over, she thinks she's in for a life of quiet normalcy. Except that her new life turns out to be anything but, when she decides to hypnotize Quinton, the hottest guy on the football team, to fall madly, deeply, head over heels in love with her. But what started out as an innocent way to make her best friend, Max, jealous soon gets way out of hand and Willow begins to wonder if the mind—and more importantly, the heart—is something you can really control.
Hypnotism? Crushes? A really cool and colorful cover? I'm so in.
What are you waiting on?
I love the covers of both of these, and they sound SO good, too! Great picks, Lea :)

The cover of Crush Control is really fun. But I'm not sure if I am liking the description. I probably will wait till it gotten a few good reviews and then make my decission. :)
