YA
If Only series.
When theatre girl Maddie meets Jesse, her new neighbor and star of the baseball team, she's instantly drawn to him. Of course, he can't live up to her dream guy, Gene Kelly...or can he? (As it turns out, Jesse is secretly a talented tap dancer.) Without much conflict or depth, this romance suffices as an easy read for genre fans.

YA
If Only series.
In Twice, Mackenzie plots revenge against, then falls for, an amnesiac ex when he thinks they're still together; Italian centers on Pippa, who's drawn to an American during her summer abroad. Neither of these wish-fulfillment fantasies provides a lot of character development or unique plot lines (classic misunderstandings occur throughout), though romance fans won't be disappointed by the mushy happy endings. Review covers these If Only titles: Fool Me Twice and Wish You Were Italian.
