Wildfire #65 Out of Bounds and #66 Senior Dreams Can Come True

65. Out of Bounds, Eileen Hehl, 1985

Only an airhead would go for a guy nicknamed "Killer."  But Tobie Tanner is no airhead.  A serious, intelligent student, Tobie has most of her life planned, up to the moment she finishes her first novel.  But once she interviews Lou "Killer" Keller for the school newspaper, Tobie is lost, and wonderfully in love.  Off the field, Lou is bright and sweet, but Tobie can't forget that football is a violent game.  Can a peace-loving writer find happiness with a guy who has to leave his gentle ways in the locker room?

I enjoyed this book, although portions of it are a bit slow.

66. Senior Dreams Can Come True, Jane Claypool Miner, 1985

After a tough school year, it's finally the summer before Ellynne's senior year.  Her mother wants her to find a job, but Ellynne looks forward to spending long, lazy days relaxing on the beach.  It's time for some fun!

She really misses her steady, Kip, who's away working.  He's afraid she'll find someone new—and she does.  Blond, easygoing Kenny is different from any boys she's ever known.  He's free from responsibilities for the summer and just wants to have a good time.  Ellynne's sure that all work and no play makes a dull girl.  But what about all play?

The first book about Ellynne is Wildfire #9, Dreams Can Come True.

This book is boring, and I read very little of it.
