3.75 starsAnnie and Hunter are bitter rivals...both vying for the top spot with a new reality radio format.  Neither expected the kiss or how the kiss would change everything.What starts out as hoax quickly turns into so much more but Annie refuses to let herself believe something so wonderful can be real.  Can Hunter show her he is in this thing for the long haul or will the secrets he is keeping ruin everything?So, I was intrigued by this book after reading the first chapter on the authors website and couldn't wait to see what happened next.  The story is told in a unique way alternating between Annie and Hunter and the way things look from a gossip columnist.  Annie and Hunter were a lot of fun.  Both are stubborn, strong willed characters with something to prove and pasts that don't allow them to trust easily.  But even with that, they fall into a relationship quickly.  My only complaint is the complete and total lack of heat in this book...there are no sex scenes, not one.  Hunter has so much potential as a strong alpha, it would have made this book amazing to see the intimacy in their relationship.My thoughts:Quick hook or slow starter? 4 (I was pretty much hooked from the first chapter)Character development: 4Level of Romance between characters: 4.5Passion/Heat level: 2 (there is no heat...a few kisses but that's all you get)Angst/Heartbreak: 3.5 (it gets a little sad toward the end but you can totally see it coming)Cliffhanger?:  No, this is a stand alone story...all wrapped up in the end.Overall, it was a good read that has potential to be great.  As long as you go into it knowing you will get romance without the heat, I think you will enjoy it.I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
