Lynea was raped by her older boyfriend when she was 14 and told no one.  Now, 8 years later, she is “guy shy” and doesn’t date.  She has big breasts, great curves and natural beauty, but doesn’t flaunt them or accentuate them unless forced to by her two best friends: over protective Michelle and slutty Gabbi.  The one night she agrees to go out with them and let them dress her up, she catches the eye of Conner Reeves, the lead singer for Shameful Regret.  Thus begins the inner debate of how safe he makes her feel and how scared she is of her feelings for him.  Both have dark secrets that make them both a bad match and a perfect one.Things that drove me crazy: 1)  The silly, stupid, redundant nicknames.  Sweetness, Nae-Nae, Sweet Cheeks, and the WORST, BABY DOLL!  GAG!  2) The reluctant, oblivious beauty who doesn’t do make-up or high fashion but gets the lead singer.  Sorry, that just really irks me. 3) unprotected sex with a rocker????? And where are the groupies and the jealousy that goes with that????  No one EVER throws themselves at any Shameful Regret members 4) the (creepy) touchy/feely relationship Lynea has with her best guy friend Sly – too much!!! And super jealous Conner is okay with that, calling her “our girl” while Lynea, in her underwear, is hugging Sly in the kitchen. 5) Sly getting to hit the rapist Matt, not Conner???  Violent Conner never even tries to beat the tar out of him. 7) Conner’s jealousy that Lynea is sleeping around when she is obviously “guy shy” (Is HE sleeping around and feeling guilty himself??) 8) Ends on a cliché cliff-hanger.I am surprised I got to the end of this story because those nick names REALLY gagged me as well as the incredible “physical closeness” of this group.  The end had so many “I Loves You’s” along with tantrums; it was weird/cringe worthy. I just didn’t find any part of this story to make sense or understand anyone’s actions.  I guess I just don’t do that level of dysfunction. In any event, this story did not work for me.There was some editing issues with some missing words that weren’t hard to figure out.  There is some Descriptive unprotected Sex and some profanity (f-word, gd, Sh**t)Would I/Did I buy it? Yes (.99)Would I read it again?  NoWould I recommend it to friends? NoAge level? NA
