Moment of truth / by West, Kasie,author.(CARDINAL)343068;
"At sixteen, Hadley Moore knows exactly who she is--a swimmer who will earn a scholarship to college. Totally worth all the hard work, even if her aching shoulders don't agree. So when a guy dressed as Hollywood's latest action hero, Heath Hall, crashes her swim meet, she isn't amused. Instead, she's determined to make sure he doesn't bother her again. Only she's not sure exactly who he is. The swim meet isn't the first event the imposter has interrupted, but a little digging turns up a surprising number of people who could be Heath Hall, including Hadley's ex-boyfriend and her best friend's crush. She soon finds herself getting caught up in the mysterious world of the fake Heath Hall. As Hadley gets closer to uncovering the masked boy's identity, she also discovers some uncomfortable truths about herself--like she might resent the long shadow her late brother has cast over her family, that she isn't as happy as she pretends to be with her life choices...and that she's falling for the last guy she ever thought she would like" -- Amazon.Accelerated Reader AR

Handyman [large print] / by Nichols, Linda,1954-(CARDINAL)659873;
Jake, a carpenter, and Maggie, an underemployed, unwed mother, are the hero and heroine of this light romantic comedy, which is innocent enough to satisfy conservative public library readers. The implausible, slapstick storyline is based on mistaken identity. Jake, a contractor working on the redesign of a trendy psychologist's office, meets Maggie when she comes to the doctor, distraught with her life and seeking a "21-day overhaul." Unbeknownst to her, the real psychologist is in the hospital for heart bypass surgery. Jake likes Maggie's looks, so he sits her down in the office and listens to her story. When she asks the "doctor" why he's dressed so informally, he replies that it's "casual day." They fall in love, and Maggie doesn't discover his deception until the riotous climax.
