Crazy Hot (Au Pairs) by Melissa de la

Amazing
This summers not just hot...its crazy hot.Its been a year since the hottest
au pairs ever saw the Hamptons, and theyre certainly older -- though not
necessarily wiser. Or drama-free.Eliza, Jacqui, and Mara thought theyd be
spending the summer apart, but when Elizas new stepmother finds herself
in need of some nannying help around the megamansion with the step-
monsters, Eliza makes a call...and Jacqui and Mara wind up with two first-
class tickets to the Hamptons.After ruling her first year at Parsons, Eliza,
the up-and-coming starlet-turned-designer, is opening her own boutique on
super posh Main Street. But its not just Elizas career thats on the fast track
-- her relationship with Jeremy is too. Too bad hes moving too fast for Eliza
to keep up.Brazilian beauty Jacqui is trying to be a good, responsible au
pair. But its tough when theres a hot British photographer following you
around, telling you to quit your job and become an international
supermodel. All she wants is to make enough money to pay for NYU...so
what happens when she gets a much bigger offer?After getting fired from

her travel-writing job and dumped at the airport by her journalist boyfriend,
Mara settles for a summer chasing toddlers once again. Theres one
benefit to nannying: Shell have plenty of material for the novel shes writing
about being an au pair -- and an It Girl -- in the Hamptons. Nothings going
to distract her from the task at hand...except perhaps her old flame, Ryan
Perry.Can our three favorite Hamptons girls survive the craziest, hottest
summer yet?
Personal Review: Crazy Hot (Au Pairs) by Melissa de la Cruz
High school is over. While our favorite au-pairs, Mara Waters, Jacqui
Velasco, and Eliza Thompson have all endured trying years at their
designated educational institutions (Eliza at Parsons, Mara at Columbia,
and Jacqui forced to suffer through a fifth year of St. Grace in order to
meet the requirements for NYU), they're all psyched for the summer. But
this year, as much as they'd love to relive the days of summer's passed,
the girls certainly won't be spending it together in the Hamptons. Or so
they thought.
Eliza Thompson always knew that she had an eye for fashion, but she
never realized that it would land her at the top of her class at Parsons.
After her designs received rave reviews at her Fashion Week debut, Eliza
knew that it was time to unleash her creations to the public; and she plans
on doing just that in the Hamptons. On Main Street, to be exact. The store,
eliza thompson, will be situated right across from Scoop and Calypso, and
feature all white clothes and accessories, in a giant pink space reminiscent
of cotton candy. Eliza just knows that her new boutique will be the talk of
the Hamptons; but her relationship with the debonair Jeremy Stone may
just garner a little press, as well. But with their relationship moving so fast,
Eliza wonders if she'll be able to keep up with it, in addition to running a hip
store.
Mara Waters thought that her summer was going to be a blast. After acing
her finals at Columbia, she just knows that everything will be smooth
sailing. Sure, she won't be lounging around the Hamptons in a Gucci bikini
with her gal pals; but she'll be doing something equally amazing - traveling
the world with her handsome boyfriend, David. David and Mara have
snagged jobs as travel-writers, and will be carousing Europe on a budget,
writing about their many misadventures. But when Mara makes the
mistake of a lifetime and loses her job, David hits the road, and Mara ends
up back in the Hamptons. While chasing around a group of kids for the
summer isn't the glitz and glamour she was looking for, it pays the bills,
and gives her a chance to check out the locals - namely her ex-boyfriend,
Ryan Perry.
Jacqui Velasco has worked hard over the past year. She's determined to
be taken as a serious, studious, brainy babe; as opposed to a curvy
airhead who can be bought with diamonds and truffles. But being good
isn't always the simplest of tasks - especially when you're a bombshell
from Brazil, with a hot Aussie following your every move. As an au pair,

Jacqui is supposed to be minding her charges, but when the Aussie in
question begins taunting Jacqui with talk of becoming the next international
supermodel, Jacqui can't help but fall for his charms. After all, she needs
enough money to pay for NYU; but she'd also like to have a little fling, or
maybe something more, and the saucy Aussie is offering her the chance
for both. Jacqui's just not sure if she's ready to take him up on his offer.
I don't know if it's possible, but somehow, someway, after three books,
Melissa de la Cruz has released a fourth AU-PAIRS installment that
is...even better than its predecessors! CRAZY HOT offers everything that I
was looking for in a flirty beach read. I love the fact that de la Cruz has
made the character's grow since SUN-KISSED, offering them up as more
mature, goal driven young women. Eliza and her boutique have become
one of my favorite aspects of CRAZY HOT; while Mara's new hobby of
blog-writing provides a sassy little extra that speaks to the gossip-
obsessed reader. And Jacqui's new responsible-side displays a hint of
maturity - until the saucy Aussie rears his ugly head, that is. I love the fact
that de la Cruz has introduced a new set of kids to the story to liven the
series up a bit, and provide a change; though you certainly can't help but
miss the Perry offspring every now and then. Spicy, scandalous, and sassy
- CRAZY HOT is the perfect accompaniment for a day at the beach!
