Rating: 2 out of 5

This author gets credit for correct grammar and punctuation but this story has been told  and  re-told ad nauseam. Read Sylvia Day's trilogy if this is your genre. For a free book, it was okay. I am getting very sick of authors writing a "short story" but you really have to purchase a bunch of other books to get the beginning, middle, and an ending.This author does have a writing style that I enjoy but a few times it wandered off into left field with descriptions and then sharply jumped right back into the story.The characters were a little flat and one dimensional. Although it was explained that Chloe hopes that using acting will help her overcome her anxiety; it wasn't at all believable. The anxiety bordered on ridiculous as well as the fact that a 22 year old virgin would lose her virginity to someone she spoke to for 5 minutes. I think it can be done in a book and be believed, this just wasn't it.Next, I am so sick of the billionaire being taken with someone they  hardly spoke to. What, a billionaire director doesn't have anyone hitting on him?? I understand that there can be an attraction simply by meeting someone but but again it just did not feel real.I truly feel as if this author read 50 Shades and thought "Hey, I can do better." Now I personally thought 50 Shades was terribly in need of a good editor, but this isn't much better. No creativity in this at all, just a regurgitated 50 Shades with enough changes as to not get sued.Sorry that this review is longer than the book but I feel this author has real potential. I would read other things written by her but not this series.
