Sex, Lies, and Beauty Aids.  Deb  Julienne.Review from Jeannie Zelos Book reviews.In the mood for a humorous romance I settled in to this book. Sadly I found it just too stereotypical and I couldn't really take the characters seriously. Sabrina, was just too much of an innocent, she's in a high powered job and though I could believe she's a virgin still, I couldn't take the issue of her know nothing about sex seriously, she's working for a magazine, she'd have surely read the competition and you can't pick up a magazine without some sex headline screaming across it, and content of how, which, why, on sex issues. Then there's Trent/Travis. The swaps I could believe, but this one? Somehow I couldn't take that staid responsible serious Travis had such a problem and the family were unaware, and that after just three weeks he was fine...and for a Playboy lightweight Trent was pretty innocent too. I can see that he was attracted to Sabrina but not why he simply bypassed her on their earlier meeting.So with that colouring my views the story really didn't have much of a chance :( though there were some fun moments ( jail!) there were also a lot of clichéd ones too ( the blue pill...) All that just means though that it didn't suit me, you may be looking for something enirely different, or able to get over the hiccups that stopped my enjoying the novel. Its wasn't a bad book, but just wasn't a good one for me either. Its priced at 1.98 for 232 pages so around average for the genre.ARC provided via NetgalleyStars:  Two and a half, I didn't dislike it, but I can't give it a three/good rating.
