Simon Cheshire- The Prince and the Showgirl
I was looking at this for my 8th grade boys who really want to read romances, but I was not able to sell it to them. I thought it started out well, but I lost interest when they started to ski. The boys I showed it to thought it looked too young for them, and that's the big thing. Even if I thought it was really good (I did enjoy the first chapters when the boy was doing his job imitating a prince), the boys still would not pick it up. Thought it was an especially nice touch that the boys job as a double was not to be Prince William, but someone fictional, so the book wouldn't date.
