Genre: YA Contemporary Romance
Blurb:
THE ROMEO CLUB is Hitch meets The Secret of My Success.
What happens when you agree to help your brother “de-nerdify” so he can catch the attention of the popular Chloe Anders, and to everyone's surprise, he actually lands her?
And what if his equally geeky friends come running with girl wish lists of their own, offering money for your services?
Well, if you’re sixteen-year-old, Delyla Denson, then you start The Romeo Club. A secret club where she’ll teach these guys how talk, act, and be cool around girls. It’s a win-win situation.
She’ll get enough money for the awesome prom dress she’s had her eye on, and the guys, well, they’ll get dates and maybe learn how to do something other than beat the next level on their video games.
There are only two problems with this plan. One, her quarterback/track star boyfriend is getting jealous of how much time she’s spending away from him and decides to try and figure out what’s going on. And two, Delyla is kind of falling for her brother’s BFF, Trey who she’s been hanging out with a lot more. And who thanks to her help, has caught the attention of the beautiful, perfect, and popular, Portia Rickard. With Portia and Trey heating up, Delyla realizes that maybe the person she’s meant to be with has been in front of her all this time.
But falling for Trey means she’ll have to take drastic measures including sabotage, with a capital S.

MY REVIEW:
4.5/5
This book was really cute.
First of all I'm going to address the cover. When I read this I had no idea what the cover looked like and I loved it. I would strongly suggest for this book that you do not judge a book by its cover as I felt that it did not live up to the contents. That's just my opinion, I liked the story better.
Delyla Denson is popular, plays soccer and has an athletic boyfriend. Behind closed doors, however, she's as nerdy as her brother and his friends. She secretly loves hanging out with them and playing video games. I'm loving these undercover nerd stories that seem to be popping up on my kindle lately.
Delyla's brother, Drake, asks for her help in getting a girl so she gives him a mini-makeover. When his friends hear about this they want help getting girls too so this prompts the beginning of The Romeo Club. Delyla ends up having to juggle her popular life and this new, hidden job. Juggling the two isn't easy especially when one becomes more fun.
Trey is Drake's best friend and has lived next door to Delyla. Working to help him get a girl proves to be more difficult for her own reasons especially since it goes better than she would like.
This book was full of humour, adorableness and one hot nerd. It sucked me in from the beginning and didn't let go. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone who needs a bit of light-hearted cuteness on their book pile.
