3.5*Well, this story certainly hooked me from the beginning! I was just going to read a few chapters to get a feel for the story and the writing and finish it today, but once I started there was no stopping and I just kept on reading until the last page. And the last page? Crap!! It turns out this is a serial novel. I've always stayed away from them, because I like to get lost in a story and follow it all the way through to the HEA (or HFN) but now I totally understand why people get sucked into them. If the story is compelling, you don't want to wait until all the parts are published as a single volume. Oh no. You want to know what happens next RIGHT NOW!! I was even thinking about it today; imagining all the different ways the story could unfold. I think I'm already addicted. When do I get my next hit...er...I mean part 2? :-DSo what's to like about this story, you ask? Why am I still thinking about it today?Well first off, I really like Liam. He's new to NYC, fresh off the farm and trying to find a job so he doesn't have to go home, where he probably wouldn't be welcome anyway. He's naive and a little clueless but he's also strong and smart and it's fun to see the story unfold through his guileless eyes. And then there's Chase, the famous author Liam has to "be." He's super rich, spoiled and he's a Grade A alph-hole, of the "no means yes" variety, none of which I'd usually count as positive attributes, but you know there's a lot more going on with him and I'm dying to know what makes him tick.I also like the set up of the story -- Liam having to be Chase for his adoring fans -- because you know that's not going to end well.Then there's the basic set up of the story with the super rich alph-hole Chase and poor naive Liam which reminds me a bit of a Harlequin Presents novel but with NA age characters. :-DBottom line: This was a great start to a new series and while I had some reservations about how Chase treated Liam, I'm definitely hooked and can't wait to see how the story unfolds. Really, I can't wait! I need part two now, please!**Book provided by author in exchange for an honest review.**
