Staying on Top is my favorite book from Lyla Payne, and I wasn't sure that my favorite couple, Cole and Ruby, could be dethroned - but Blair and Sam have taken that spot!I loved that Lyla went in a different direction with this book, and that the story wasn't something you've read before. It has adventure, angst and sexual tension, which has set the stage for another good book in the Whitman University series.Sam Bradford is the #2 tennis player in the world, and after his shady accountant swindles him out of a large sum of money, Sam has a decision to make. Fortunately (or unfortunately), Blair Paddington shows up 'just in time' to help Sam, and despite the alarm bells going off in his head about her timely arrival, he accepts her offer to help him get his money back.What ensues is a wild goose chase across Europe, which is all part of Blairs plan, until the inevitable happens and she finds herself questioning who she is, and why exactly she's willing to betray Sam's trust.This was an exciting read, and the quirky banter between Sam and Blair adds humor to their situations. Their sexual tension is addictive, and you'll be screaming "Just get it on already!" half way through! I think Lyla did an amazing job with this book, and as much as I hate to replace Cole and Ruby as my favorite Whitman University couple, the relationship between Sam and Blair, as well as their surprising circumstances, made this Lyla's best book to date :)
