Welcome to the
Streamline Launch Party!
So today, author and fellow Buckeye Jennifer Lane is releasing her contemporary YA romantic suspense novel, Streamline. I just started this book yesterday afternoon, and let me tell you it’s a page turner. It’s an emotionally-heavy read, something a little out of my norm as I don’t typically read what you might consider “issue contemps,” but Lane has done such a wonderful job of investing me in Leo and Audrey’s story and in discovering its outcome. Their story holds a lot of heartache, but also a lot of hope as Leo and Audrey navigate through their family drama, their relationship and their senior year of high school.
Seems like Leo Scott has it all: looks, brains, and athletic talent. He’s captain of his high school swim team with a bright future in college and beyond. But Leo has secrets. His mother’s crippling car accident has devastated his family and left Leo to deal with his father’s abuse, battered and alone.
Leo’s girlfriend Audrey Rose is poised for her own share of success. As one of Florida’s top high school swimmers, Audrey dreams of college swimming stardom. But there’s an obstacle to her glorious rise to the top. Her number-one supporter–her father–is in prison for murder.
Part murder mystery, part tale of young love in a military family, this gripping story takes readers on a journey from Pensacola to Annapolis. Leo and Audrey must band together to rise above the adversity they encounter and find their true selves in the process. When everything’s on the line . . . streamline.

The Giveaway…
I was so excited the second I heard about this book because I started swimming competitively when i was 7 and swam all through H.S. Can’t wait to read it. Thanks for this awesome giveaway Dani.
Wow, that’s a long time competing! I believe Audrey’s character also starts competing around 6 or 7. Do you still swim regularly?
Thanks so much for checking out the launch party Kate!
Hey Dani, thanks for joining the party! You’re definitely correct that this story has major “issues” (i.e. DRAMA!) but I’m glad you’re finding it to be a page turner. Can’t wait to meet you on Saturday, fellow Buckeye.
My pleasure! It’s a fantastic book
And yes, looking forward to Saturday!
Sounds like a great premise! I used to swim competitively so I know all about the drama that can ensue.
Very cool! The competitive swimming world is one that’s kind of foreign to me, but it’s really interesting to read about. Thanks for stopping by Vivien. Good luck!
Oh, must read this book since I am from Pensacola:)) plus it looks awesome! Thanks for the giveaway!
I always like reading books that are set in a place I’m familiar with
And yeah, Jennifer’s offering some really cool stuff in this giveaway, huh? Thanks so much for stopping by and good luck in the giveaway Heather! 
The cover!
Gorgeous, isn’t it? And it fits the tone of the book so well.
I can’t say that I’ve read a lot of books about swimming. This should be interesting!
I know. This world of competitive swimming is not one I’ve really read about before. I liked the uniqueness of the setting.
Thanks for dropping in Mandy!
Both these characters have such interesting back story. Sad and yet I want to see how they endure it.
I have to admit, the first thing that attracted me to the book was the gorgeous cover and title…but beyond that, it sounds like a really interesting psychological thriller, and I always love those.

aside from the fact that the cover is very intriguing, it sounds like a book i’d love to read: )
I wonder why both of the main characters had fathers who were abusive O.o
Wow that cover I love it! Also the premise sounds interesting sounds like it will be full of drama which helps keep a reader turning the pages.
This sounds like a great book. I have varied interests in reading material and the cover just draws you in. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
You know, I’m really not sure why I want to read this. I really don’t read that much contemporary, but it just sounds like something I *want* to read! So that’s that. I want to.
I also really like the cover.
Also, whats up with their fathers?! Also, since I’m a military brat, I’m drawn to books with any military aspects to them. I don’t see much of it in YA.
Great cover. Great premise. Why wouldn’t I read it?
Thanks for the giveaway!!
Thanks for the giveaway chance!

It seems like a really good book! I really enjoyed the excerpt. Definately going on my TBR list!! Thanks!
