Review: Perfect Poolside Read

Negligee Behavior reminded me a lot of some of Rachel Gibson's books - maybe it was the Vegas theme?  Like Gibson's books, this was really easy to get into and really easy to like.  First, I always like the ugly duckling theme in romances.  Negligee Behavior is good, though, because Brandy doesn't have to turn into a swan for Marco to notice and like her.  And he does genuinely like her, kitty cat shirt and all.  Second, no one in this book is as they first appear.  All of Stevens' secondary characters had great depth - I'd love to see Sebastian the English bartender, Val the kinky waitress and Elena the musician in a follow-up book.The final climax of the book is a bit far-fetched, but that's acceptable in a beach read, so I'm letting it go.  The steamy chemistry, snappy dialogue and believable character development make this a good beach read regardless.
