Sydney Allen grew up as the child of Hollywood’s IT couple..Until her mother took her away from all of that age 12. Twelve years later and Sydney is still letting her parents divorce affect her life in ways it shouldn’t. She has some serious walls up and doesn’t let anyone in. The only person who has an in with her is her best friend Leah. She still talks to her mother, but she hasn’t seen or talked to her dad since her mother up and moved her from LA to NYC when she as 12. She’s hides behind her mother’s maiden name, so no one will know she’s Reid Tannen’s daughter.First off, I don’t get why people don’t realize that she’s who she is. Especially those who hire her mother’s design company and have a Sydney working on their project. You and I both know that these people are aware that Evangaline Allen has a daughter named Sydney..and it’s just a coincidence that the person who is heading their Design Projects is named Sydney ALLEN? Really? That’s just as annoyingly obvious as Clark Kent having to only take off a pair of glasses and a tie to be Superman. COME ON. lol.That was the only thing that bothered me about this book…Other than that, I LOVED THIS BOOK. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down! I didn’t go to bed until it was finished!! That’s saying something! This book and the characters were very well written. While sometimes Sydney’s anti-social behavior drove me a little batty, I totally understood why she was that way. I would probably be that way too if I had gone what she went through. Though maybe I would’ve at least tried to contact my dad after some point to ask WHY? But she never did that.. I think if she had, she would’ve started healing emotionally a lot sooner in life.. Of course, if she had done that..she probably would’ve met Andrew and not Drew..DREW WAS YUM. He was an amazing, protective, sweet, attentive..and really good at hiding a secret. Which you can’t fault him for, seeing as Sydney has a few of her own she’s keeping from him. Drew seems to be really good for Sydney, I think he’s helping her heal emotionally because she wants to open up to him and let him in. She finally decides to come clean about her past to Drew on his birthday before they attend the Grand Opening event for the Club she’s been working on. Drew, being held up in flight delays, doesn’t make it back to NYC in time. Before he gets a chance to meet up with her at the Star-studded event, the s*** hits the fan. Seriously.I really did enjoy this book a lot and I seriously cannot wait to read the next one in the series!! Thank you so much to Heather Leigh for allowing me to read and review this book!
