I would give this book a solid 4.5 star rating....an unexpected free treat! I really liked it a lot and read it fairly quickly...it moved along at a brisk pace and was written in a style that made it both fun and yet emotionally satisfying.I know there are a ton of billionare type romance books out there and they usually follow the same formula (rich guys meet poor needy young women, use her for arm candy or some other arrangement, they fall in love etc.) but this one had a different and more real feel to it and I liked that!My only issues with this story were with Jessica's roommate Natalie (she irritated the hell out of me) and I was disappointed that we didn't get to have more of a resolution to the evil foster family who ruined Jessica's life. I felt the ending was a tad bit rushed and all the ends were neatly wrapped up in one quick final chapter. I would have liked to read more about Luke's family and his final days with his father and perhaps the author intends to write another book (maybe for Natalie and one of Luke's friends?) although this one has an HEA ending.There was a lot of witty and playful dialogue, exciting and passionate love scenes that work slowly to some pretty steamy sex and down to earth behavior / reactions by the heroine thrust suddenly into the flashbulbs of the media. I would read another book by this author for sure =)**** 4.5 **** "you can bend but not break me" stars
