Review: A bit Pretty Woman and a lot of good story

It does remind me of Pretty Woman but with a bit more teen angst thrown in.  It is well written and well paced.  The story wraps around you and pulls you along - pure escapism which is just what I want in a book.JJ (19) has been thrown out of his religious home by his step-dad for 'entertaining' a friend in his bed - a male friend.  He is from LA, which naturally means he leaves, catches a bus and ends up in Vegas...with $500 in his pocket.  He goes to Caesar's and is promptly hit by a flying door, which gets him a comped room for a couple of days.  When well enough he goes to leave, but like any Vegas story he goes by the slots first...and that's the end of the $500.  So he goes and has a soda in a bar where he is solicited by a guy who will give him $1,000 to go bare-baked (yes well, JJ didn't know what it was and he certainly didn't know how to say it). He got $500 up front, but on the way to the room someone takes JJ away for solicitation - turns out he owns the Casino and realises JJ was the one who was picked up, not the one hustling.Turns out Michael (35) has a problem (in the form of his match making Mother)...and JJ (Jason) is the walking, talking solution.
