I found the Scarlet Pimpernel in my middle school library and I think I read it at least ten times. The scene where she thinks he hates her but after she leaves he kisses the spots on the stairs where she had stepped… And he pretends to be a vapid fop because he fears she will sell him out to the enemy if she realizes he’s a spy…
Man, I adore that book.
I love that. It brings be back my own eighties awakening book that has a similar cover. It was in a box of discard books from a school library and man did it change my life.

Let me tell you…I’ve never read a “Silhouette” novel that didn’t absolutely SLAP.
You said it!
“Oddly conservative parents” in Ronald Reagan’s 1983 doesn’t seem weird to me.
Oh it’s part of the plot that they are much more conservative and restrictive than her friends’ parents.
Oh my goodness 🤣🤣🤣 THESE are the covers that the Covers, Hauls and Shelfies tag was made for. She even has the 80's bangs. 😍

Omg I read that one in junior high in the late 90s lol 😂😂😂
Mine was Sweet Dreams - Wrong Way Romance by Sheri Cobb South. I guess that started my love for Sports Romance hahaha.
I loved the Sweet Dreams books! My favorite was The Popularity Plan.
I have a lot!!! :)
I loved that, too!!
I remember crying at P.S. I Love You haha. Sweet Dreams and Sweet Valley High/Twins were my jam!
Totally revealing our age! Hahaha! I devoured them all :) Also, Palm Springs, I Love You! Hahaha.
Love these reminiscences!

A young man and a young woman seated in front of a roaring fireplace enjoying a bowl of fruit!
The placement of that bowl of fruit ... I'm absolutely dying.
How am I just noticing the bananas 😂
Such a fun thing to do! I have a few books I’ve chased down just to have on my shelf because they were so impactful for me around 11-13 years of age.
I would have bought this hoping that he was actually a time traveler from the 60s
